We were the general contractors when we built our home 24 years ago and that experience taught us that no matter how much you know...we could not know enough. Therefore any further projects we dreamed of needed to be well planned, thoroughly questioned, and documented. We were relentless in the process of submitting requests for proposals and interviewing submissions for 2 years before we felt comfortable moving forward. What gave us confidence was Ryan's honesty. That honesty prevailed throughout the project. He gave updates to timelines...good or bad and intervened when the subcontractors were not up to par or delayed. We can contest that the stress was less with Ryan! We know we can think about future projects with excitement..we know where to go!

Ryan and Cody completed a deck tear down and new rebuild around our 24' x 15' above ground pool. Their attention to detail is, to be frank, "unbelievable." We couldn't be happier with the finished project. All components of the deck are immaculate and really, really, well done.
Ryan and Cody listened to our requests, and fulfilled each and everyone of them like the professionals they truly are.
Ryan and Cody were both punctual and were on-site when they said they would be... weather permitting of course.
We cannot express how lucky we feel that we chose Ryan and his company E&L Creations now that we see the final outcome. We cannot imagine any other company completing this project as well as they did.
We're now looking forward in spending many summer days in and around the pool on our new deck.
Thank you so much, Ryan and Cody!!

Recently Ryan and his team at E & L Creations completed a basement bedroom and living space design. Right from the start, Ryan’s professionalism, knowledge and experience were evident. When I first contacted him, Ryan replied promptly and we soon had our first meeting. Ryan provided detailed timelines for all aspects of the job, lists of all materials needed and costs making expectations and the whole job clear. With his expertise and creativity, Ryan noted potential concerns, provided solutions and suggested design ideas which would meet or exceed my needs. It was reassuring and a huge relief for me that Ryan and his design team organized all required permits, deliveries and tradespeople. The actual building and finishing of the space went quickly and smoothly as well. Both Ryan and Cody showed attention to detail resulting in quality construction and completion. When my family was coming home for Christmas, the entire worksite was cleaned and organized making the space accessible and safe. Now that the basement is finished, it is modern, cozy and looks great! I love it! The new bedroom and living space flows with the rest of the house making it truly a part of my home. I will definitely contact Ryan with any future projects. Thank you Ryan, Cody and E & L Creations!

Ryan and his fellow workman were thoroughly polite, knowledgeable and friendly throughout. Their work was completed quickly and my wife and I are very happy with their quality of their craftsmanship. The one word I can confidently say describes E&L Creations and Ryan in particular is professionalism. He listened to all our initial concerns and each was addressed to our satisfaction, and beyond. He took care of our kitchen as if it was his own. His quote was very reasonable and he accepted e-transfers for convenience. I have other projects that need to be addressed and I will use E&L for those in the coming months. I highly recommend E&L Creations and Ryan Silverthorn.

Ryan and his employee built a fence for us. The job started a week ahead of schedule. They were kind, courteous, cleaned up when they were finished. They were mindful of my garden plants. They attached the post caps and completely finished our great looking fence. Thanks so much Ryan we love it !

Ryan and the team did an excellent job installing a new fence for my back yard as well as installing a back splash in my kitchen. Tremendous work ethic, quotes were competitive and both projects finished in an efficient time. Will definitely be using E&L Creations for future projects. Thanks again for the help.

I am absolutely thrilled with my new kitchen thanks to Ryan. My home is about 100 years old with beautiful character particularity in the naturally finished solid chestnut trim. My goal was to update my kitchen but still keep the character of my home. Ryan and his crew took special care to preserve the trim and to work with the odd measurements so common in older homes. Also of special note: Ryan changed an odd wall feature to accommodate a large plumbing pipe from the floor above, Ryan magically was able to wire lighting into a cabinet on the other side of the room from the lighting source, Ryan and Cody came in on Sunday to ensure all was done so I could host Thanksgiving the following day. Ryan was always respectful, calm and creative when dealing with challenges and absolutely fair with billing. I must also add how caring and patient they were with the ever present, concerned [annoying] kitty. Thank you Ryan and Cody for a job very well done.

We had a very unique job for Ryan and the team. We converted our garage into a certified kitchen to prepare and serve food. I don't mean we polished the concrete and put in a couple of appliances, we sealed off one of the garage doors, put in a floor over the concrete and installed a split ductless heat pump for temperature control. The twists and turns this project took from the start were amazing. The permitting process and COVID supply issues extended the timeline and increased the costs, but Ryan was resilient. He could have walked away at any point, but did not. We are using the kitchen today and are really happy with it, so the actual construction was a 10/10, but that's not the part I liked most about dealing with Ryan. The part I liked most is that he was always thinking about different ways to tackle challenges and presented us with options and recommendations. We couldn't be happier with the work and would bring his team back in a heartbeat if we needed anything else.

We found E&L Creations while shopping for quotes to build our residential fence. From the start we found Ryan to be very professional, quick to respond and competitively priced. We decided to go with E&L because of that are we are thrilled we did. Ryan and Lee arrived when expected, worked hard and produced a beautiful, well-built fence that we are extremely satisfied with. We ran short on a few items and Ryan was flexible and was able to get the items for us without hassle. We highly recommend using E&L for any job you might have, and we will continue to use them for contracting going forward.

My husband and I had chatted with a few local companies about having a large deck built. After speaking with Ryan, it was very evident he and his team were very knowledgeable and were going to do the job right. Not only did they take their time and ensure everything was completed exactly how we requested (taking into consideration some unique suggestions), they ensured everything was completed with precision and care. Ryan was not happy with how the steps were coming along and took it upon himself to completely rebuild them. Not to mention, they left the site very clean! We are beyond happy with the final product and will be recommending E&L Creations to our family and friends and definitely hiring them back for future work.

After contractors didn’t show up last year..Ryan got back to me ASAP...squeezed my job in for a fence...Now we can open the pool! He was great with the kids and the job site was cleaned up before they left. Calling them next year for sure...pool needs a deck!

Wanted to have a deck built on the back of the house. Got four estimates, E&L was the only one who could do all the work (remove and fill in windows, excavate to necessary level, build deck) and the only one that provided an itemized quote. The guys showed up to do the windows after I provided a deposit, and had the windows out and close to matching brick in place in one day. They came back the next day to dig for the footings (by hand!!) and had them in place by day's end. I was told that the lumber necessary to build the deck hadn't all arrived, so it would be a couple of weeks before they returned to build. Needless to say, I was pleasantly surprised when I received an email that weekend, informing me they would be back Monday morning to start framing. The deck was completed by Wednesday afternoon. The guys were great about answering any questions or concerns we had, and dealt with all the little things we wanted done (like tailoring the side to accommodate the river rock beside our planters). Even better, once the work was completed, our final bill was less than the quote. Couldn't be happier with the quality of work, and the attitude of the crew. Would definitely use this company again.

We choose E and L creations to finish our basement last winter. Ryan was great to deal with from the first time he quoted the work right to the end of the job. Always responsive to questions or concerns. The quality of the work was great and Ryan his team were always nice to deal with and great with our kids which was a bonus as well.
I would recommend them(and have) to family or friends and we plan to use them when we do our ensuite in the future.

As first-time home renovators, we were understandably nervous about picking a general contractor given all the horror stories one hears. Which is why we almost don't want to write this review--we selfishly want E&L Creations to stay as low-profile as possible so that we can keep them all to ourselves for future projects. The first thing that struck us was Ryan's level of professionalism. All aspects of the job were considered and mapped out in the quote and he was upfront about any potential areas of concern. Our questions throughout the process were handled quickly and earnestly. And weeks later when we threw Ryan curveballs on the design he hit homerun after homerun. It's also fitting that Creations is part of the business name, as their creativity and design ideas are as exceptional as any you might see on HGTV. But all that can't be attributed to Ryan alone, as his team is just as outstanding in their own right. Always courteous and accommodating, it's clear that they're the hard-working engine that makes the whole outfit run. We were consistently amazed at just how much they accomplished over the course of a single day. All that being said, if you want a reliable contractor that does quality work for a fair price, E&L Creations should be your first call.

"E + L Creations did a bathroom renovation in our basement which involved a complete installation, framing, plumbing and electrical. We are very happy with the results and it was a pleasure to work with Ryan and his team during this project. They did the job for a very reasonable price and completed the job on time. We would recommend E+L Creations"

"We hired E&L Creations to help with our en-suite renovation. I’m a handy guy but short on time and help so Ryan was willing to help work with us on this project. Ryan and his team removed a load bearing wall and installed a support beam. They then roughed in all the new plumbing and drywall with ease. I can now install the tile and finishes at my pace. Great communication and flexibility and everything was done ahead of schedule."

E&L Creations did a fantastic job on our fence and shed foundation last year and an equally great job on the porch this year!
Would not hesitate to use them again."
