Open House – Owens Corning Sunsuite with a twist this weekend!

Your in luck! This weekend we are showcasing a rather unique sunsuite. The image you see above is from the beginning stages of the project where we had just layed a slab. Before completion, the homeowners decided they wanted to use the room mainly for a jacuzzi. Once the jacuzzi was in place, Alure came back for the finishing stages of the new Owens Corning Sunsuite.

A “Raving Fan” experience.

Dear B,

Since our basement project has been fully completed on Thursday last week, I take this opportunity to share our experience. Right from our 4-hour long first meeting with you till completion of the project, we have nothing but all positive things to say as our overall experience.  The design you came up with did make optimum utilization of available space and changed the face of our basement making it more roomy and cozy. The entire work done has been very neat, clean and totally consistent with the time frame and excellent quality that you had confidently assured in our first meeting.

 

The team that worked on our project comprised of T. O., A and G. They were all very punctual, courteous and highly reliable. You just can’t find anything negative in their work, temperament and behavior. T is an outstanding team leader and did his job with passion and did it exceptionally well. Your electrician team comprised of T and M also did their job quite competently.

 

I am very happy and glad that S, my wife and I decided to have the project done by Alure.

As you know, my wife was out of country when the project started. She returned home this morning and the first thing she did was to walk into the basement and see how it came along. She couldn’t believe her eyes and was ecstatic looking at the brand new face of the basement. She too is highly impressed by the precision, quality and workmanship.

And how can I not mention something about P and J from your admin department. Though in the back stage, they both did their part efficiently to get the project started timely. Consistent with Alure’s tagline, you all did bring your experience at our home and we are happy and satisfied.

 

S and my wife join me in appreciating the great work done by Alure and saying a big THANK YOU to all.

Sincerely

a

A cool fresh start.

A few months ago, after living through the darkest year of our lives, I decided that my son and I needed a fresh start. My son was so upset we were selling our home and downsizing to a condo. I realized to make the new space work for us we would have to take on three major home improvement projects; finishing the basement, and re-doing the kitchen and baths. As I began researching contractors, I was drawn to Alure. I was impressed with Alure’s 60 year professional reputation and their commitment to giving back to the community with their involvement in many local charities. I knew this was a company that I would “fit” with. Alure has exceeded all of my expectations.

From the moment I began working on my Owens Corning Basement with Designer Nick , I knew I made the right decision. Nick’s knowledge, professionalism and pleasant personality took my ideas and my son’s dream of a “cool” space for him to be with his friends, and turned them into reality. Production Supervisor James and Head Installer Rob were also reliable and professional. I felt safe leaving them and their crew in my home. Start to finish, my basement was handled with care and attention to detail. The result is just beautiful. Especially the floor! We look forward to many happy times in our new basement. The best part about it is my son is so happy with his “cool” space that a once difficult move is now something he looks forward to!

I am so happy I put my faith in Alure. We can’t wait to start our kitchen and bath projects. Thanks Alure for helping my son and I start a new chapter in our lives in such a positive way.

Sincerely,

M. M.
