" I hired Innovera Home Concepts for the renovation of my kitchen and guest bedroom storage in my high-rise condo based on the rave recommendations of a friend. Working with Nick and Minna was a breeze from our first meeting. Between this clever twosome and their great team, they improved my space, function and general living in so many ways. The galley kitchen was totally re-done (including raised ceiling), a whole new wall of cupboards that accommodated my request for freezer drawers to complement the tall, narrow SubZero fridge, an ”invisible pantry” added to a structural concrete pillar that holds 12+ can-deep adjustable shelves. One neighbour liked it so much she brought her contractor back to add one to her recent kitchen reno. I love the added storage/office/filing/closet space that was designed and installed in my guest bedroom; the pivoting space saving door that Minna sourced from Italy, which swings to open either way and stays flat against the frame when open with no obstruction of the view through the floor to ceiling windows of the bedroom; the beautiful new wallpaper installed in the master bedroom and all the other ingenious solutions they incorporated to make my space functional and lovely. Nick, Minna and their trusted crew are scrupulously honest, reliable, and full of creative and practical ideas. I am thrilled!!!" Pat Mitchell, Vancouver, 2020
"What sets Innovera apart is the attention to detail and the fact that they work with you (!) to make your (!) project happen. Putting a powder room in a basement stair landing was next to impossible, and they made it happen beautifully." R&P, Vancouver, 2020
"We worked with Innovera on the extensive renovation of our home in Vancouver. Nick was great to work with. He was always friendly and his ability to listen, communicate and discuss details was outstanding. Working with the whole team was a very pleasant experience - from design conception, excellent craftsmanship to the final touches. It made a big difference working with one single team. And the results are amazing - the quality of work shows in every single detail. We highly recommend Innovera for your next project - I know we will hire them for our next reno project." M&T, Vancouver, 2020
"We hired INNOVERA for a complete renovation of our house in Vancouver and were so happy with the results that we used them to design the kitchen and two bathrooms in our Manhattan condo too. Very inspirational people, they did a fantastic job and the craftsmanship was exceptional. With out of the box thinking and creative energy, their designs are unique, beautiful and functional. We highly recommend INNOVERA for your next project." J.Oliver, Vancouver & New York, 2019
"We recently completed a major renovation of our 1800 sq. ft. condo. Nick and Minna and the rest of the Innovera team did a fantastic job. From the start they listened and respected all of our requests and ideas, making suggestions if necessary. Nick is a talented craftsman who takes great pride in his work and it shows! The project was on time and on budget and I couldn’t have imagined a better reno experience. We highly recommend Innovera for all your renovation needs." A&M Vancouver, 2019
"I had two bathrooms to renovate in my 40+ old home. Nick and his team did an outstaning job. There were no hidden costs in the quote. The team around him were polite, skilled and clean workers. Nick is a very hard and reliable worker. He is a good communicator and a perfectionist. In an old house surprises occur, once you start renovating, but for each surprise, Nick had a perfect solution and brought this reno to a beautiful end result, that exceeds my expectations." Fischer, Lions Bay, 2017

The team is comprised of experts who listen, and their design/build/project management skills are one of the best.

"Completed first bathroom on schedule. High quality work and took pride in what they were doing. Very clean and tidy around the house and respected that they were working in our home. Kept me fully informed at all times Contracted for second bathroom. Arranged excellent trades (framing, drywalling, electrical, plumbing). And will hire again." Paul Moody, North Vancouver
"We recommend INNOVERA and Nick without reservation. Nick is a tile artisan and a renovation expert. He quotes you a price and a completion schedule that you can rely upon. Nick tiled our ensuite bathroom and the back splash in our kitchen along with all the necessary plumbing and drywalling. TileWise also supplied and supervised the installation of a quality shower door and vanity mirror. Nick helped us select the tiles best suited to each application and played an important role in our choice of accent design. You cannot go wrong with Innovera Home Concepts." David Mercer, Port Moody

"Scope of project: Kitchen, 2 bathrooms, all lighting and painting.
"The owner, Nick, is an efficient and resourceful project manager who is excellent at problem solving. He was fun to work with and very courteous to my neighbours. I appreciated his attention to detail.
Minna, the designer I worked with has a good sense of what I like and was excellent at helping me choose fixtures and colours. When I wasn't sure, she interpreted what I wanted.
They were excellent at keeping me within the budget agreed upon even with several unforeseen expenditures. I would highly recommend the team at Innovera for any of your renovation projects." Maggie, Vancouver, 2017
"We hired INNOVERA Home Concepts (formerly TileWise) for our bathroom renovation. The work involved removal of the tub, shower and tile surround and replacement with a walk-in shower with a new fixture and tiling throughout. We were very happy with the entire process. From the initial meeting for an estimate through the final touches, we found Nick’s work to be first-rate. He communicated clearly with us every step of the way and was consultative in his approach, offering suggestions while respecting ours. We appreciated his attention to detail and his fine workmanship. Although working within the confines of our condo was probably a challenge, they tidied up daily and kept things as neat as possible. We ended up with a custom shower we love using and would definitely hire INNOVERA again to do further work on our home." M.D., Vancouver, 2015

Will definitely hire them again!" J&R

"I was impressed by Nick's clear grasp of the scope of the job and attention to detail, skill, and artistic sensibility. He kept a clean and organized job site (a real plus when you live in during your reno). His quoted price was clear and he explained the possible choices at different price points. The job was completed in a timely manner. Nick is a true professional." Mary, Vancouver

"We hired INNOVERA for our full bathroom renovation and it was a great experience. Nick was very professional, quick and did an excellent job, as did the rest of his crew. He gave us great ideas and helped us stick to our budget. We highly recommend them and will definitely hire INNOVERA Home Concepts for our kitchen renovation. Big thank you! " - Ann and Steve, West Vancouver
" INNOVERA were brilliant!!!!!!! The work came in within budget estimate and more importantly within the time estimate. The floors were decrepit and in poor repair. The place hadn't been touched since a cheap reno in 1985. Nick helped choose the tiles and showed samples of work he done that were similar. Nick is a craftsman of the highest order. The place was so clean after they had left you wouldn't know they had been. They were friendly and professional. I have no hesitation in recommending INNOVERA to anyone. You won't regret having them do your tile work." D.T. , Vancouver
" From our initial meeting and consultation, through the whole process of renovating our bathroom, we knew we made the right decision hiring INNOVERA. Thank you very much Nick and crew for your outstanding job! " J.C., Vancouver
"INNOVERA completely renovated our 11 x 5 full bathroom. Nick is very knowledgeable and the quality of his work is superior. He made suggestions, as well as listened to our own ideas. We could not be happier with the final result. " J&E
