Decora Homes a Trusted Saskatoon Custom Home Builder and Renovation Company For Over 10 Years

TRUSTED SASKATOON RECOGNIZES OUR 10 YEAR TRUSTED SASKATOON PARTNERS!

In this series of articles, we are shining a spotlight on the businesses that have been with us since we launched in 2011. We want to thank them for TRUSTING our team, and we are recognizing each of them individually for providing 10 years of OUTSTANDING service to the public of Saskatoon and surrounding areas! In this article, we celebrate and recognize Ricky and Rhonda Iula, and Dustin Grenier of Decora Homes, a Trusted Saskatoon Custom Home Builder and Renovation Specialist.


We are pleased to celebrate Decora Homes who have been a TRUSTED Saskatoon partner for over 10 years!

It was back in 2006 that Ricky and Rhonda Iula were at a point in their careers where they wanted a change, to start a business where they could be their own boss, something where they could help others, and make a positive difference in the building industry in Saskatoon. Since then, Rhonda and Ricky and their team at Decora Homes have specialized in building exceptional homes and top-quality renovations to meet clients' exact requirements. They had no idea that their vision and mission would have taken off and been so successful. So successful and busy in fact that about 5 years later they partnered with Dustin Grenier who was himself a successful homebuilder. What started as a team of two has now grown to a team of seven, each with their own roles and duties, that help this well-oiled machine build a quality product with customer satisfaction in mind. Rhonda runs the day-to-day and can usually be found meeting with clients and helping them envision their dream or buried in paperwork at home or the office. Ricky is most likely to be found on the job site taking care of the build or renovation project making sure nothing everything runs smoothly. Dustin as well keeps a close eye on every project and is a partner that is more comfortable behind the scenes and taking good care of their projects. At the office, they have dedicated designers and decorators to make sure all the finishing touches are taken care of from start to finish.

At Decora Homes, they believe in keeping their customers up to date during their build or renovation and that is why they have incorporated a 24/7 online program in which the client can log in and view the schedule, photos, list of products chosen, and approve/change orders at their convenience. Decora Homes sources products and fixtures from all over the world and provides their professional and dedicated team of full-time staff to assist you in planning your dream and picking out those finishing products during the construction, along with a full-time service representative for you to contact after you have taken possession of your new home. This is their post-build concierge service, making sure you receive exactly what you had dreamed of and envisioned. 

Over the last 14 years, Decora has completed many amazing projects around Saskatoon and the area. One custom home they are most proud of is in Greenbryre Estates where they have built many unique homes. This gorgeous home had a truly unique design, with its copper roof and unique custom floor plan. The clients brought their wish list and Decora was able to turn their wish and dream into reality, as It turned out to be a fantastic family home. Although the Decora Homes team is best known for building custom homes for clients, they have really seen an increase in the renovation side of the business, both residential and commercial. This also keeps them very busy all year long.

" Ricky, Rhonda and the Decora team are integrity-driven, and they are some of the kindest people I have ever met. Their commitment to quality and innovation is obvious to all that work with them and their projects are amongst the most impressive I have ever seen! Decora is an asset to our community and I am proud to promote them." - Sara Wheelwright- Trusted Founder   

In speaking with Rhonda, she and Ricky and their team are most proud of the amazing support they’ve had from the citizens of Saskatoon and everyone in the building community. The opportunity to design and build a few of the latest Hospital Home Lottery homes, which have had amazing reviews from the public, has been a blessing and a great way to give back. As well, they are so humbled that they’ve been fortunate to have partnered with Haven Kids’ House for many years, and have not only done extensive renovations for them along with an outdoor playground but continually support them every year as their charity of choice. Decora Homes have raised hundreds of thousands of dollars for worthy causes over the years through charity golf tournaments, donations, or giving of their time and building expertise.

All the hard work and dedication by the team at Decora Homes has definitely not gone unnoticed. They are proud to be recognized by their peers, by the building community, and the citizens of Saskatoon, Saskatchewan and beyond. Over the years they have won numerous awards, probably too many to count. From multiple SABEX Awards, Home Builder of the Year Awards, Interior Decorating Awards, Marketing Awards, and so on. But, in talking to Rhonda, the biggest award is the relationships and friendships they have gained over the years. Their clients have become lifelong friends, like family, and what better award is there than that!

Thank you for TRUSTING us, Ricky, Rhonda, Dustin, and your team, and thank you for providing 10 years of OUTSTANDING service to the citizens of Saskatoon! In the last 10 years, they continue to be one of the finest home builders and renovators in Saskatchewan and have always upheld our 5 TRUSTED GUARANTEES of service for their 10 YEARS as Trusted Saskatoon Partners.

Trusted Saskatoon Home Builder Decora Homes Home Safety Tip About Carbon Monoxide

DISTINCTIVE, CONTEMPORARY... DECORA HOMES. They build to reflect your personality, they design to meet your needs, they build relationships. DECORA HOMES... it's ALL in the details.  Decora Homes are Trusted Saskatoon Homebuilders


Decora Homes Share Important Carbon Monoxide Safety Tip

A very important winter reminder from Decora Homes: be sure to clear ice from vents, intakes, and exhaust pipes on your house. This is especially important for newer homes with advanced high-efficiency technology. This takes very little time to do and it is so important. If not cleared, it can cause carbon monoxide to back up into your home. 

This important reminder can save lives! Carbon monoxide is a silent killer - it has no odour, taste, or colour as it cannot be seen. It is highly poisonous and very flammable. Fire departments warn about this dangerous gas and suggest homeowners buy a CO detector - also a good tip for apartment dwellers. CO detectors are very reasonably priced and can saves lives, and you can't put a price on that. 

It is very important to keep vent pipes clear. Winter weather can lead to vent blockages which can cause terrible harm to families. Forgetting to clear ice and snow happens too often, even though it is an easy problem to solve.

Decora cares about the safety of their clients - Stay warm and safe!

Trusted Saskatoon Home Builder Decora Shares Tips On How To Brighten Up Your Home This Holiday Season


Decorating Your Home For The Holidays 

No matter if you celebrate Christmas, Hanukkah, or any other Winter Holiday, December is the season to brighten up your home with holiday décor and decorations. From gingerbread baking in the oven to stockings hung over the fireplace- we’ve put together 8 easy ways to bring the holiday season into your Westbow Home.

1. Add a holiday wreath to your front door.


Adding a wreath to your front door is a great and simple way to bring the spirit of the holiday to your home. Local makers offers various styles of wreaths or you can create something yourself using local greenery.

2. Decorate your Christmas tree 

There are many options when it comes to your Christmas tree. There has been a long debate between whether a fake or real tree is better, but there are now more options than ever! Second hand artificial trees provide a lower cost option while those looking for an eco friendly option may opt for a returnable Christmas tree.


3. Fill your holiday mugs with homemade hot chocolate, apple cider, or mulled wine

As the weather gets colder outside, filling your mug with a warm cozy drink will help warm your body and soul. 


4. Bring festivity into your bathroom

Simple pieces of décor such as candles, a locally made sign, and some holiday themed hand towels are a great and easy way to bring the holidays into your bathrooms.
 

5. Light up your neighbourhood

Christmas lights provide a bright and cheery neighbourhood atmosphere. From traditional string lights to modern projectable lights, the variety in options are endless
 

6. Spend time baking holiday cookies

Your Westbow kitchen is perfect for spending time with your family, baking holiday cookies. There are many holiday cookies to choose from!  Gingerbread, sugar cookies, and shortbread are just a few of our favourites.
 

7. Relax in your loft and enjoy a holiday movie

Many Westbow homes have bonus rooms or lofts which make for excellent places to curl up and enjoy a holiday movie.

 

8. Spend time with your family and friends.

As the holidays draw closer, families and friends gather to celebrate the season. Westbow homes are built for hosting parties, get-togethers, and dinners. Spacious, open concept kitchens and living rooms ensure there is no separation between the guests and the hosts.
