Tamate Referral Letter

March 23, 2007

To whom it may concern:

It was our dream to have a master bathroom that is not just a place to take a hower quickly in the morning or use the toilet, but a place to relax and pamper ourselves after a long day. There were many things that we really wanted in our dream bathroom. We wanted to soak up to our shoulders and have a spacious shower area that can easily take two persons in case one of us needed to help the other take shower in our old ages. We also wanted the toilet to be hidden behind a wall for a little privacy within the bathroom. Needless to say it had to be warm in the winter even though the room has a beautiful, fully tiled floor.

We would like to thank everyone at Norbut Construction for making our dream come true. We were able to discuss with Brad Norbut the prospect of our project in every technical detail, including plumbing and electrical wiring, the very first day he came over to our house. We started with a loose idea of what we wanted. Thanks also to Brad we got a referral to the architect for the project, Rodney Skirment, and that really got the ball rolling during the design and planning phase.

We expected that we would be quite stressed once the actual construction started. However, we were pleasantly surprised. The workers from Norbut Construction tried their best not to disturb us and never left any mess behind when they left for the day. From the demolition, to the foundation work to the final construction and the finish work, Tim the foreman was very easy to talk to and pleasant to work with. In fact everyone, including every sub-contractor for Norbut Construction looked happy to be working on our project!

We are also grateful that Brad presented us with every alternative at the planning and design stage. Every step of the way, Brad suggested improvements that made the whole project worthwhile. For instance, the Takagi tank-less water heater is the best thing we’ve ever had. We never worry about running out of hot water even after filling up our new soak tub. Furthermore, we love the programmable floor heater. We now love to wake up on a cold morning and use the bathroom. Our floor heater even heats up the floor of the shower area, another design detail that Brad Norbut gets full credit for.

Everyone who has seen our new bathroom is envious and we are very proud to own it. We thank Norbut Construction again for doing a fantastic job and allowing us to realize our dream so easily.

Mariko and Eric Tamate
