New #1 on the Renovation.Reviews leaderboard!
Big congrats to Creative Contractors Okanagan — the Kelowna/Okanagan kitchen pros who just sautéed the competition and plated a master-class in homeowner education. 
Why they clinched the crown
Teaching > pitching
Their Trade Talk, “Questions to Ask Before Hiring a Kitchen Renovation Contractor,” arms homeowners with the exact vetting checklist a pro would use—licenses/insurance, references, timeline control, written contracts, and who’s actually on site. It’s transparent, practical, and trust-building.
Licensed, insured, accountable
They lead with fundamentals (permits, building codes, liability protection) and make it clear they’re fully licensed and insured—reducing homeowner risk and friction before demo day.
Contract clarity + timeline discipline
They emphasize detailed written scopes, materials, payment schedules, and warranties—then back it up with “clear timelines and updates through each phase.” That’s how you keep kitchens on schedule (and clients sane).
Full-stack kitchen capability
From custom cabinets (design/manufacture/install) to countertops (granite, quartz, engineered, laminate), flooring (tile, hardwood, engineered, laminate), and lighting, they show they can carry a kitchen from concept to cook-in. Fewer handoffs = fewer headaches.
Proof in the portfolio
A deep gallery of real kitchens (Hopwood, Vanderbilt, Waterloo, Princess, and more) shows consistent finish quality, not just one flashy reveal. It reads like a resume you can walk through.
5 playbook moves you can steal this week
- Hand your clients a checklist. Publish “questions to ask before you hire us (or anyone).” When you teach the test, you signal confidence.
- Name who’s on site. Homeowners hate mystery crews. Introduce the PM and daily crew roles in your post.
- Show the contract skeleton. Redact numbers, share headings: scope, selections, allowances, change-order policy, warranty. Transparency converts.
- Timeline with gates. Demo → rough-in → inspections → cabinets → tops → tile → paint → punch. Explain what can slip and how you recover.
- Gallery with context. For each project, add 3 bullets: goals, constraints, and one “tricky bit” you solved (e.g., venting reroute, panel upgrade, layout change).
