We are delighted with the transformation of our home! Working with Alan on this renovation taught us to see its elements differently and to appreciate ways of creating and maintaining beauty in unexpected places. Alan’s close attention to visual detail was matched by a meticulous approach to all aspects of construction. He displayed sensitivity, patience, creativity and a calm flexibility as he helped us to explore the options that were available within our budget—and also provided a frankly honest assessment when there were difficult decisions to be made.
Very happy with Alan for my elevated sundeck renovation. He is very attentive to my questions and concerns through out. He and his team do really meticulous work. His quote was in line with 2 other estimates I got and the final project price was just as he laid out. He charged by time and materials and was very honest and straight forward to work with. Had good solutions for drainage and electricity issues that came up. Excellent references. I hope to use him again for future bigger renos.
In the winter of 2009, we found ourselves needing to do extensive renovations to two levels of our home. We hired Alan O’Rourke to assist us with these renovations. He and his crew proved so competent and reliable that we soon asked Alan to take charge of the entire project. This proved to be a most wise decision. The communication between Alan and ourselves was ongoing and thoughtful, especially as we frequently increased the scope of the project. Both Alan and his crew consistently displayed the highest degree of consideration and professionalism.
We recently had the pleasure of working with Alan O’Rourke Construction for our washroom renovations, and we couldn't be happier with the results.

Every aspect of the renovation was handled with the utmost care and precision, ensuring that the final result was satisfactory.

I have done paint work on Alan's jobs multiple times. Of all the contractors I have followed behind Alan and his crew are amazing. The work his guys leave is bar none some of the cleanest and high quality craftsmanship I get to work on. The knowledge base and professionalism of his crew is evident. Always a pleasure.
Alan’s team was pleasant, reliable and did great work in painting, carpentry and other renovations
Working with Alan for the extensive renovation of our house in Victoria was a productive and pleasant experience, from project conception to the final touches. His ability to listen to our words and understand our thoughts, to discuss details of plans and budget, and to work together with the designers was outstanding. He easily obtained the required city approvals and worked efficiently with subcontractors to complete the renovation on time and budget. The end result was a renovation that transformed our house with a modern combination of space, lighting, materials, and colours. We are very satisfied with the work done and are happy to recommend Alan. We encourage you to work with him, you will find him to be easy to work with, a good communicator, straight forward and reliable.
Alan O'Rourke and his team did a superb job on the major 4-month renovation of our old house in Victoria. I would not hesitate to recommend him.
Our family used O’Rourke Construction on a remodel of the top x2 floors of our home. This included x3 bathrooms, living room, kitchen, dining room, family room and x3 bedrooms. And the end result was ‘perfection’. Our house is stunning and the detail and care that went into the work was exceptional. Family and friends are so impressed by the quality of the work. We would highly recommend their service.
Alan has been a wonderful resource for us in repairing and maintaining our older Strathcona house. He completely rebuilt the front porch for us, which had been redesigned a couple of times over the life of the house. We had to figure out what the original porch had looked like based on very little evidence, and Alan’s familiarity with the design and construction techniques used in similar heritage houses was a huge help to us. This project required a lot of problem solving and design decisions as well as precise carpentry.
Alan O’Rourke Construction has worked on our 100 year old wooden frame house a significant amount. Interior and exterior work has always been done to a high standard of finish and structure. We have always been very impressed with the end result which did not run over budget or time. I cannot recommend this company highly enough, and will use them again.
Hiring Alan O’Rourke was one of the best decisions I made over the course of restoring our character house. He came onto the project after every homeowner’s worst nightmare – having to fire the previous contractor who wasn’t up to the job. Nerves were frayed, budgets were strained, and deadlines were approaching. Alan brought a calm, thoughtful attitude to the situation, and combined a deep understanding of structural issues with a real appreciation of the aesthetics of heritage homes.

I had Alan O'Rourke Construction take out a small wall in my kitchen, insert a beam to redistribute the load as well as have their electrician do some rewiring. I was so grateful that Alan and his team were willing to do a small job in this exploding market! Plus they were super easy to work with - they took into consideration my work schedule and got the work done without me having to take time off to meet them. Their admin staff were also super helpful - invoicing me quickly, making payment easy and getting me the info I needed for my strata. They were quick, efficient and trustworthy.

We loved working with Alan and his team and highly recommend him. We renovated our main floor including kitchen, bathroom and living room and took down one wall. We're thrilled with the results. Alan was great to work with, always friendly and was super responsive. He also has a great professional team that he works with including Ivy House design and Splinters, it made a big difference working with a single team. We also really appreciated Alan's attention to our budget, from regular updates to telling us the impact of any decisions that came up after the fact. The whole experience was very positive and the quality of the work was excellent. We would absolutely hire Alan again for future renos.
