Testimonials

It was a pleasure to work with Phil during the process of our renovation. He spent countless hours designing the layout of our home. He was very professional. He did a great job of blending our ideas and bringing new ones to the table. He was very patient with our indecisiveness and made us feel confident once final decisions had been made. We would recommend using a designer like Phil to have your dream home or space come to fruition.

After deciding to pursue our dream of living in a bright, modern home to suit our active family of four, we engaged Phil to create a plan that would transform our existing 1972 bi-level into a welcoming, open concept home. Phil listened as we discussed the issues we wanted to address and he provided solutions that were practical and worked within our budget. The final plan, which included an addition, was very well thought-out and the result is a casual, contemporary space that we are excited to call ‘home’. We are thankful to Phil for his expertise and his commitment to the design process.

I came to Method with an interesting dilemma for a business renovation. I wanted to take my retail/workshop space that totalled over 2000/sq. ft and reduce it down to half the size. Thankfully, Phil had the patience and understanding to listen to all my concerns and help me problem solve the numerous design issues that arose. He was a pleasure to work with, his passion for the success of the finished project is immense, and his guidance and knowledge was immeasurable. Phil helped me create a beautiful, modern, user-friendly, functional space for my businesses very specific needs.

Phil was involved in every aspect of the project. I do not believe the word impossible is in Phil’s vocabulary. Keeping to his training and talents as a designer, Phil is truly what I would call a designer’s designer. Through his experience, he will offer up ideas and suggestions. However, I never felt like I was being swayed away from my vision and overshadowed. I felt with his patience and strong communication skills we made the perfect team and I never felt like he was trying to make it his show. A testament to his character comes through as he became like family to everyone who got to know him and his wife Tina during this renovation. We have stayed in touch and remain friends to this day. We continue to expand on the renovation of years past, and I am looking forward to the next one we perform together.

Phil and his team were wonderful to work with! They patiently listened to our ideas and then quickly put them into 3D renderings for our review. With each new idea, then drawings were modified. I believe we ended up with over 16 pages of renderings! It was invaluable to see how our completed renovation would look before we ordered products (such as doors and windows).

I greatly appreciated their interior design help as well. Having someone help me select everything from knobs to light fixtures was wonderful!

An excellent experience. From the initial interview where he took the time to listen to us and our ideas, Phil and his team quickly understood our needs and expectations. His team then returned a draft set of drawings. With a few small changes, we were good to go with a our main contractor. The final product looks exactly how we wanted it and the whole design process was seamless.

I wanted to take my retail/workshop space that totalled over 2000/sq. ft and reduce it down to half the size. I needed to see how the space looked and functioned before the construction began and the business was closed for the renovation. I was nervous about taking on such a huge undertaking with my livelihood, but thankfully, Phil had the patience, honesty and understanding to listen to all my concerns and help me problem solve the numerous design issues that arose. His passion for the success of the finished project is immense, his guidance and knowledge was immeasurable and the 3D visuals allowed me to work (and "walk") through the space before any physical work was started . As a "team", we create a beautiful, modern, user-friendly, functional space for my businesses very specific needs. I highly recommend Method.... in an industry that relies on knowledge and experience, this company excels in every aspect.

We were introduced to Phil at Method through our renovator Corefront. He provided us with detailed drawings and plans for opening up our kitchen to our dining room, as well as changes to our office and mudroom. Method obtained the permits for our job. Phil and Kristina helped us with selecting cabinets, countertops, lighting and paint colours etc. Phil was friendly and efficient to work with, listened to what we wanted and provided helpful advice. We would definitely recommend Phil and his team at Method Building & Interior Design.
