A local company won big at the recent Greater Vancouver Homebuilders’ Association’s Ovation Awards.
Rembrandt Renovations Ltd. won Best Kitchen Renovation, $75,000 to $125,000 for its project, Into the Light and was also a finalist for Best Renovation, $400,000 to $699,000. Both entries were part of an extensive renovation in the same West Vancouver home that included three floors, three additions, four baths, kitchen, living space, stairs, master suite, deck and a refreshed exterior.
“We are thrilled with our win,” said Carly Mens in an email to the Record. “Rembrandt Renovations Ltd. is a New Westminster-based design-build company providing services throughout Metro Vancouver. We are a boutique operation and only take on one project at a time to ensure quality work.”
While Carly runs the company’s Massey Heights office, her husband Jerome Mens is owner and principal of the company that’s been providing renovations in Metro Vancouver since 2003. With its small, talented renovation crew, she said the company usually takes on medium-to-larger-scale projects and often whole-home renovations.
With Into the Light, a busy professional couple wanted a contemporary, natural-light-filled space they could use for relaxing and entertaining. Rembrandt updated the original 1980’s house by letting in more natural light from outside and updating the interior layout and finishes.
According to HealthLinkBC, car crashes related to alcohol misuse are the leading cause of death for young people.
