What recent reviews say
Five months of full-gut work on an old semi, extensive kitchen and bathroom projects, and multi-year laneway suites all came in on time and on budget. Mo, Robert, Ezad, Greg, and Dave show up daily, send photos mid-week, and handle surprises (old-house issues, load-bearing walls, underpinning) with transparency rather than panic. They coordinate trades to work in tight quarters without rattling neighbours and bring in their own designer, Ghalib, to steer owners away from costly mistakes before they happen.
Complaints center on impatient crew drivers in tight East York streets; otherwise, owners report feeling heard, respected, and cared for through to completion and beyond. The company has worked consistently through pandemic supply chaos and pulled off early laneway-suite projects during regulatory uncertainty.

Common questions
- Do you stay on budget and timeline on complex old homes?
- Yes. Multiple reviews document projects delivered on time and on budget despite hidden issues (load-bearing walls, underpinning, insulation gaps). One 5-month gut came in 10% over due to client design choices and old-house surprises that were flagged in advance.
- How often will I hear from the project manager?
- Project managers are on site daily. Clients get weekly video meetings with the PM and co-owner Kevin, plus mid-week photo and schedule updates. Responses to questions typically same-day.
- Do you handle design decisions, or do I need my own designer?
- Ghalib, their interior designer, walks through plans with you before construction and flags cost or feasibility issues. Many owners appreciated his input steering them away from expensive mistakes.

Jim and his team deliver whole-home and kitchen renovations on time and on budget, with reviewers consistently praising responsive communication and visible attention to detail. Staff arrive when promised, keep sites clean, and handle mid-project surprises without passing extra costs to homeowners; even after projects close, owner and staff follow up in person. Porch conversions, basement finishes, and bathroom work show the same standard across project types. Service runs across the neighbourhood (East York, Leslieville, Danforth, The Beaches) and spans multiple trades: flooring, waterproofing, new windows, drywall, and tile work are all handled in-house or closely managed. Reviewers named Steve and Peter as crew members who took pride in their work, and Jim is known for free consultations and building-code knowledge even to non-clients.
