With a core team of talent-ed designers, project man-agement experts and sales people on staff, and a dozen experienced contract in-staller crews on call, West-end Bath and Kitchen stands out as Ottawa’s premier des-tination store for home and condominium renovations.

For 30 years, owner Brian Mallett has grown and nur-tured his company into a full turnkey renovation design centre whose standards for attentive service, quality materials and caring work-manship bring satisfied cus-

tomers back again and again. About 40 per cent of his business is from returning clients, and new-customer referrals.

Store manager Alan Car-riere, a longtime renovation project manager who has been with the company since 1990, said he is still amazed by the number of customers he has worked with on more than one reno project. One client even left his house key with Westend and left for va-cation for the duration of the renovation.

“It’s unbelievable the number of repeat custom-ers we have,” he said. “It’s the quality of the work we do, and the non-chaotic at-mosphere that brings them back. We have a simple, or-ganized system that lets us finish on time and on budget. There is constant communi-cation between the designer, the contractor and the cus-tomer.”

Carriere accompanies the Westend designers on their initial in-home consulta-tions with clients so that he can take measurements and make a thorough as-sessment of the structural, electrical and plumbing con-

siderations. Nothing is left to chance.

“If someone wants to re-configure their bathroom or kitchen, the designers and I have the training and experi-ence to recommend the best options for layout and mate-rials. We look not at what’s there now, but what could be there. We give people a space they’ll love,” Carriere said.
