Design service, for interior renovations

Not sure what you want yet? Design it with us.

Work directly with our design team before anything is built. We come into your space, learn how you live in it, and design the room around your needs and wants, down to the finishes.

  • In your homeWe start in the space itself, with you, not from a catalogue.
  • Layout and space planningHow the room flows, where everything goes, and what's possible.
  • Materials, finishes and fixturesCabinets, counters, tile, lighting and hardware, chosen together.
  • A design that's ready to buildThen the same team builds it, so nothing gets lost between design and construction.

Estimates are always free. Design is a dedicated, paid service, offered separately from your renovation. Ask us about it and choose "Design Service" in the question form.

What our clients say.

We had the absolute pleasure of working with [Maleky] and [Denis] on a project with an incredibly tight turnaround, and I truly cannot say enough good things about them. From the very beginning, they set realistic expectations, under promised, and then completely over delivered in every possible way.

What really stood out right from the start was their professionalism. They hand delivered my quote and took the time to walk me through every single detail. I never felt confused or uncertain at any point. I knew I wasn't being overlooked, and I genuinely felt like I had found the two guys who would get the job done right.

Their attention to detail and commitment to quality was evident in every aspect of the design and execution. No corner was cut; every small detail was thoughtfully considered and handled with care. They worked tirelessly to ensure our project was completed on time and within budget, which in itself is impressive, but the final result far exceeded anything we had imagined.

Beyond their craftsmanship, [Maleky] and [Denis] are simply a joy to work with. They are hardworking, honest, and incredibly charismatic. They made what could have been a stressful renovation feel like a seamless, even enjoyable experience. Each day, they showed up with a positive attitude, and somehow always left the space spotless; something that never went unnoticed or unappreciated.

If you're looking for a team you can trust completely, who will go above and beyond while making the process feel effortless, look no further. Thank you both so much! I cannot recommend you highly enough!

Five stars is simply not enough!!!

★★★★★Andrea PeragineGoogle review

Maleky and Denis are two of the nicest young men you will meet. We had them complete two projects for us. We loved that both of them came out to look at the projects and what we wanted. A few days later they returned with a quote and walked us through their work plan. Everything was outlined clearly and they answered every question.

Project #1 was a small bathroom reno in our rental house. There were some unforeseen hurdles resulting in the work order being revised and everything was transparent.

Project #2 was a nightmare job to add exterior stone cladding to our 140 year old home. This was a challenge as there were no straight exterior walls to work with. With lots of shimming, our exterior is now straight and the exterior stone finishes it off beautifully.

We enjoyed getting to know Maleky and Denis and feel like we gained friends.

★★★★★Diane McEachernGoogle review

Exceptional Craftsmanship and Professionalism! I cannot recommend Denis and Praesidium Construction Group Ltd highly enough.

As a professional working with clients who expect the best, finding a reliable carpenter is crucial, and Denis exceeded every expectation. He recently completed a project for my clients, and the results were nothing short of amazing. Here is why I'll be hiring him again:

  • Top-Tier Quality: His attention to detail and craftsmanship are evident in every joint and finish.
  • Professionalism: He was a pleasure to work with—communicative, respectful of the property, and incredibly easy to coordinate with.
  • Reliability: He stayed exactly on budget and was remarkably timely, hitting every milestone we discussed.

If you are looking for a skilled carpenter who brings both integrity and talent to the job site, look no further. Thank you, Denis, for making me look good to my clients!

★★★★★Chris AckermanGoogle review

This team has a strong work ethic. They followed through on everything in the contract in a timely manner. They communicated frequently, making suggestions and checking to see if there were questions or concerns. Very pleased with the result and will most definitely use this company again.

Questions

Before you call.

What happens after I request an estimate?

You'll get an email confirming we have your request. Maleky then calls you to talk through the project and book a time to see it in person. After the on-site estimate, you receive a detailed written proposal.

Which areas do you serve?

Chilliwack, Rosedale, Agassiz, Harrison, Cultus Lake, Abbotsford, Mission, Langley and Aldergrove. If you're nearby and not sure, call (604) 791-4559.

Are you licensed and insured?

Yes. Praesidium Construction Group Ltd is a licensed and insured general contractor, registered with WorkSafe BC.

Are estimates free?

Yes. The on-site estimate and your detailed written proposal are free, with no obligation. Our design service for interior renovations is separate and paid. More about design.

Do you handle permits?

Yes. If your project needs a building permit, we take care of it as part of the job, so you don't have to deal with the city yourself.

What kinds of projects do you take on?

Residential renovations: kitchens, bathrooms, decks and covered patios, siding and exteriors, roofing, additions and basement suites. If your project isn't on that list, ask. We may still be the right fit.

I'm not sure what I want. Can you help me design it?

Yes. For interior renovations, you can work directly with our design team. We come into your space and design it around your needs and wants, from the layout to the finishes. Design is a dedicated, paid service, offered separately. Estimates are always free. Learn about our design service.

Can I send photos of the space?

Yes, and it helps. You can attach photos directly in the estimate request form.

When can I reach you?

Monday to Friday, 7:00 AM to 5:00 PM, at (604) 791-4559 or sales@praesidiumconstructiongroup.com. Estimate requests can be sent any time. Just have a question? Ask us here.
