Real stories from real clients. Here’s what people have shared about working with us and the results we helped bring to life.
We are absolutely thrilled with our new kitchen!!! Every time we walk into the room we’re amazed at how beautiful it is, how functional it is and how it’s exactly what we wanted and more!! Thank you to the whole team: Tanya Letourneau’s fantastic design magic, Dominic and Tania Galloway managing the project, Veronica managing the financials and Kim and Dawson and all the other trades people who made the plans a reality that we get to enjoy for many years to come!! DBK did a partial bathroom reno for us several years ago and we loved it and we immediately went to them for our full kitchen reno! We highly recommend DBK!!

I already had an idea that Distinctive Bathrooms & Kitchens would make my washroom renovations worthwhile. Sara Akra was extremely helpful. She took time to listen to what I wanted then came to my home and took measurements. She walked me through different styles and materials not only to make my washrooms updated but at a cost that suited my situation. I never felt pressured to do things i didn’t want or could not afford. She has a unique sense of taste and class which was helpful again at a cost I could afford. She even called me to see if I would be interested in a vanity that was on clearance that ended up saving me money. So if you want a great sales lady with style see Sara Akra. Then the crew. What can I say Etienne came on time every morning did his job asked me questions when he wasn’t sure exactly how I wanted something which was great He never assumed. He would clean up everyday and worked hard every day. Great guy. Manny the plumber was awesome. He too came did his job and calmly worked all day. Mr McMaster the electrician was also a great guy. Did his job well too. Sonny would deliver the items and pick up all the garbage. There were other crew members too who contributed and I appreciated them too . They were done faster than they were supposed to be done and we are so happy about our powder room and main upstairs washroom which is so beautiful and updated. I feel like im in a hotel room. They even took out an old hair dresser sink in the basement and installed a laundry tub i had bought recommended by Sara. I recommend you buy lights at home depot as they do not sell them. If you’re going to buy light at multi luminaires beware that they may take 2 weeks to ship your order so get lightning at home depot. The electrician installed a new pot light in the powder room which looks so nice. All in all I am so happy as is my daughter and wife. THANK YOU TO ALL OF YOU FOR MAKING OUR HOME RENOVATION PROJECT A SUCCESS

We completly renovated our kitchen.We worked with Anna dykstra for the design. She was really good in guiding us with our selection of items and design. She captured everything we had in mind and more. She listened, did not apply any pressure, she was timely with her deadlines. Michael was the installer. Very polite, extremely meticulous, clean and organized. Overall it was a great experience. We plan to do our ensuite bathroom soon and our daughter’s bathroom at her condo and we will definitly be working with Anna for these projects.

DBK replaced the shower in my ensuite bathroom. The work was completed on schedule we are very pleased with the outcome. A few weeks later I had a minor issue with a rust stain. Contacted DBK on a Monday and by Friday the issue was rectified. I must say that this is the best after sales service I have ever received from any contractor I have dealt with. I would not hesitate to recommend DBK.

we completed our dream master bathroom renovation in janaury 2026 with the amazing DBK – this company were professional and supportive from start to finish and our designer at DBK Julianna “Anna” Dykstra was amazing as were all of the trades persons and we were shocked that the project install from start too finish took 2 weeks – we will be returning to DBK and can 100% recommend this company if you are considering renovations ! – sharing the before and after pictures to show the fabulous work!

We had our Kitchen fully renovated this summer. Kelly and her team were professional, organized and easy to work with. Kelly came up with a design that we had not even thought of. We are so happy with the outcome. We would highly recommend her to anyone! The contractors were phenomenal, they treated our home like it was theirs. Very respectful. The weekly & daily schedules that we received were very helpful. They definitely know what they are doing. If we had to renovate our kitchen again, which we won’t LOL, we would not hesitate to reach out to them. Fantastic job. Thank you Kelly, thank you to the contractors.

We wanted a one-stop shop to tackle the largest and most stressful renovation we’ve ever done (complete kitchen Reno). DKB was very competitive in costs and coordinated every aspect of the work; design, demo, plumbing, electrical, drywalling, flooring, installation… all of it!
From our first meeting for consultation and subsequent design appointments with Julianna, we knew we made the right choice. Her design was EXACTLY what we had hoped for and needed in a kitchen. We appreciated her time and expert guidance throughout that all important foundational piece of this massive (for us anyways) undertaking.
Job foreman Kim was a phenomenal partner to work with on this as well. Professional, courteous and obviously skilled to no end. He really brought Julianna’s designs to life and did so with an attention to detail that showed just how much pride he takes in his work.
Tania was our coordinator and kept us in the loop in terms of scheduling and what to expect each day, and each week. She also was quick to respond to questions we had or any issues that popped up.
The whole DKB staff are incredible.
We hope to have them back to help us update our three bathrooms one day. Can’t recommend enough.
