“Whistler Builder did a fabulous job completing a full renovation of our property at Northern Lights, Whistler, and we could not recommend them highly enough. As overseas owners we needed a company that does EVERYTHING from structural engineering and planning through to a full fit out of the interior - and luckily a local recommendation led us to David Girard and his team at Whistler Builder, including their in-house designer.”

“In 2022 we purchased our Whistler home from David Girard. David was the builder of the home. We are very pleased with the quality of the workmanship and the care that went into the project. In our dealings with David we found him to be a knowledgeable, honest individual and would not hesitate to deal with him in the future. We also have friends who recently had a major renovation project completed by David and they were pleased with the workmanship and service by him.”

“Over 10 years ago, I engaged Whistler Builder to do a complete renovation of my house in Whistler; the works included the removal of walls, the formation of new rooms, the design and creation of a magnificent granite fireplace with display feature, the replacing of floors with French oak, the installation of new windows and openings and the removal of old, the complete overhaul of bathrooms and kitchen, the formation of a media room and a spa, the landscaping of the garden, the building of two new terraces (one of wood, the other of stone) and the decoration of the property throughout. All of which was offset by a new lighting system throughout.
The craftsmanship and attention to detail were exceptional. I have owned and renovated several properties in different countries of the world: none of them has been undertaken with such skill and such genuine enthusiasm, nor have the results endured for so long. In the decade that has followed my Whistler renovation, I have never needed a single thing changing or remedying or re-doing, and the house looks, and is, as good today as it was when the renovation was first completed. As with anything else in life, when things of quality are produced, they will usually last much longer. And when they are achieved by craftsmen who pride themselves in what they are doing or creating, it makes for a very lasting and personal achievement, and a very happy client.
I regard the project which Whistler Builder undertook as certainly the best, and, perhaps unusually, the most enjoyable, I have ever commissioned. Their advice and skill were entirely professional and of the highest standard throughout, never choosing their own convenience over mine, or compromising quality with a short-cut. I shall always be indebted to David Girard and his team for giving me a wonderful 10 years in a beautiful home. I can well remember the first time I saw the completed works on my arrival at the house after a long journey from Hong Kong. You were present at the time and I was completely and utterly enthralled by the transformation. It was a wonderful job and it will always be the most memorable of all the projects I have had done.”

“A property that we have had since 1997, was constructed in keeping with the architecture that suits the ambiance of Whistler. The property has proven to have been constructed using high quality construction practices and materials. We have experienced very few deficiencies with this property.
David Girard has been hired by us as recently as this year to do some renovation work on the property and we have been quite satisfied with his ability to deliver a quality service in a timely manner.”

“As we near the completion of the renovation at our Whistler condominium, I wanted to compliment you on a job well done. It has been a pleasure working with you. Throughout the various phases of the project, you demonstrated your ability to communicate effectively with various parties including strata management company employees, subcontractors, designers and the Municipality to get the job done.
In particular, I appreciate the fact that the decisions you made regarding some unforeseen issues that came up during the project showed a commitment to delivering quality products for us. We feel that you and your crew paid attention to detail and responded to our concerns, both large and small. We are very pleased with the final results of this renovation.
I would not hesitate to recommend you for future projects.”

“After carefully considering different contractors, we decided to use Whistler Builder for the renovation of our home in Whistler. We definitely feel that we made the right choice as we couldn’t be happier with both the experience during the project as well as the final outcome.
To start with, Jessica at Whistler Builder came up with a great design that was both pleasant aesthetically and functional. Once the design was completed, Dave and his team worked with us to size the work and make design changes as needed that would meet our budget. The trades were excellent and well organized by (thanks Jono and Paul!).
The project came in on budget, with all changes to scope being managed very well. The project finished right on schedule, which we know can be a challenge. All the finishes were exceptional.
After such a positive experience, we have chosen to continue to work with Whistler Builder on the "Phase II" of our renovation project. Definitely a 5 star experience and we recommend Whistler Builder to anyone looking for any renovation, big or small. We feel that Dave truly cares about his clients and that his values / priorities are being passed down to the entire team at Whistler Builder.”

“I wanted to write to you to thank you for the beautiful sink that we now have in our Whistler cabin. The job that you did replacing the old sink, tap and garburator as well as the changes to the plumbing were all flawless. There are always a number of "little things" that come up on a project like this but you and your team managed all of these without any incident or delay to the project. You had anticipated all of the possible areas where something could go astray and you dealt with them in advance. We really admire the efficiency and professionalism that you deal with these projects. It provides us a peace of mind that we really appreciate. Many thanks and we look forward to working with you on our next project!” - A & S
