About

Retrofit Design is a General contracting / Interior design company founded in 2004 by Industrial designer Randy McCoy, B.A. University of Alberta 1992, former partner at Pure Design ltd. (1994 – 2004). The combination of twenty years in the field, and a design background have given me a unique skill set with which to provide a balance of beauty, and practical building. I know what you’re thinking, isn’t Retrofit an interior design company? Yes, this is a service we provide, but first and foremost we are a general contracting and project management company. We welcome the opportunity to work with other designers! When the boss doesn’t have to sit down and design everything, we can actually get a lot more done on the building side. We treat our relationships with our design clientele very respectfully, and do our best to maintain them. You’ll find that the added bonus is you won’t be fighting with the contractor about that awesome little detail that ties the whole room together, he gets it! He’ll also help you look great in front of your client with all his resources at the ready!

What to check before you hire

Worth checking yourself
Their public evidence comes from a single source. Look them up on another site before deciding.
Trade licensing in Canada is set by each province or territory. Electrical, gas and plumbing are licensed trades almost everywhere (for example ESA for electrical and TSSA for gas in Ontario), so check your provincial regulator that the contractor is certified for the work before you hire.
A construction lien is a real risk: in every province an unpaid subcontractor or supplier can register a lien against your home even if you already paid the main contractor. Hold back the statutory amount (commonly around 10%) and get signed lien waivers as you pay.
Ask to see a portfolio of completed work like yours, plus recent references you can contact.
