You know it's going to be OK when after the first meeting with Fred you end each other's sentences. > > But that's the beginning, the "pie in the sky" meeting. Next is taking those fluttering ideas and put them on a CAD drawing. That's where Brian and Steve, MLH' trusted collaborator, put you at ease. They got it, they understand what you want and translate that into construction-ready documentation. And yes, they graciously move that wall, the fifth time, by 3 inches, so that everyone (aka the girl with a dream...) is happy. > > So far, so good, but how about starting the construction in the first week of December, with the notoriously cold and snowy winters in Ottawa? Not a problem says Brad, the PM that never sleeps (or at least that's what we suspect...). Throw on top of that, the mother of all disruptions, a global pandemic with deep and long-term impact on everything you do or need when you build a house. Not a problem for the MLH team. Oscar will always find a workaround to an unexpected challenge that proves to be an even better option than the original plan. > > We moved into the new house on the date marked in the contract! Miracle? A little bit, I'd say, given all the challenges thrown at us by Covid and supply chains. Happy? Beyond our expectations. We are enjoying the house every day, it's a bliss. We might one day think about building again. It will be with MLH, guaranteed! > > Cristina & Gelu ### All 20 reviews **★★★★★ — Susie and Karim, May 2024** > Our overall experience with Maple Leaf Custom Homes was honest and very much customer-service oriented. Building a custom home can be stressful at times, but the Maple Leaf team made us feel supported during the design and construction process so we felt confident that our ideas could come to life. > The design process with Brian and the team felt easy and pressure-less. He made endless revisions to our unique home and his advice was always practical. > Our project manager, Brad, was methodical and always took the time to listen during our site meetings. As with all major construction projects, we had some challenges but we were always reassured by all members of the Maple Leaf team (including their tradespeople) that every effort was being to mitigate the circumstance. > Even after taking possession of our new custom home, the team has been here to service any issues or requests for additional work. The quality of the design and construction speaks for itself. We’ve created a home that is both spectacular and functional. It is truly an extension of our thoughts and dreams. We are so thankful we made the decision to work with Maple Leaf and would recommend them to anyone looking to bring their dream home to life. **★★★★★ — Victoria Adams, May 2024** > Doing a custom build is overwhelming to say the least. Referred by a friend, we approached Maple Leaf Custom Homes to help design and build a modern, mid-century inspired bungalow. > > The process was extremely collaborative with numerous back and fourths to get the floor plan just perfect. When we received the first exterior concept sketch we knew we were in good hands — it was perfect, it was our vision! > > We moved in on schedule, 10 months after breaking ground. During the construction phase we were impressed by their back-end project management system to keep track of every single detail including change requests. On the personal side we got to know the trades quite well, their names and their stories — a great bunch of guys. > > When you embark on the biggest project and investment of a lifetime, you don’t know what you don’t know. Maple Leaf helped guide the process so that smart decisions were made along the way with no regrets in the end. > > If you are looking for peace of mind for your new build or renovation project you are in good hands with owners Brian, Fred and the Maple Leaf Team. > > Fast forward to today, we are living the dream and it’s beyond what we ever imagined. **★★★★★ — Ed B, Feb. 2024** > We built our dream home with Maple Leaf and it was a truly amazing experience from start to finish. From the design process where the team really listened to our needs and incorporated them into the plans to the construction which was meticulously managed by our project manager. The build quality is second to none and there was never a time that they said no to us - they always came up with solutions / suggestions that fit our needs perfectly. Maple Leaf are the best custom builders in Ottawa and I 100% recommend them. **★★★★★ — Denis A, Feb. 2024** > Great crew and people to work with. On time and on budget. You won't be dissapointed if you choose Maple Leafe for your custom home construction or extensive renovation. Special thanks to Jason Benoit and Brian Saumure for seeing the project through and helping us along with key decisions during the build. **★★★★★ — Diana Ozarko, Dec. 2023** > I've worked with various builders over the years, from tract homes to a waterfront renovation. But Maple Leaf Custom Homes takes building your dream to new heights. > From the moment I set foot into the realm of Maple Leaf, the team demonstrated a commitment to excellence that surpassed all my prior encounters. Their dedication to transparency was a breath of fresh air, both in communication and budgetary matters. They provided a realistic budget, one that I could stay very close to, much closer then in past endeavours and that alone is outstanding for any builder. > Transparency, coupled with an unwavering attention to detail and high-quality workmanship is where Maple Leaf truly distinguishes itself. Brian and Fred, the virtuosos behind the initial design, took my aspirations and wove them into a breathtaking concept drawing that mirrored my dreams. Oscar, my project manager always went over and above for me, ensuring that the whole process was fun and stress-free. He would provide weekly progress reports and was his input was always impeccable. The full build was done ON TIME and ON SCHEDULE. Neighbours were just as impressed with how clean the site was kept, and how the work never stopped, surpassing other builders in the area who started their custom build months prior to myself. Post-move-in, their responsiveness exceeded expectations. Maple Leaf Builders isn't just a builder; they're dream-weavers and custodians of a seamless journey to home perfection. If you seek excellence, look no further. Maple Leaf Builders is construction at its finest. **★★★★★ — Iraqi Canadian, Nov. 2023** > Constructing a home from the ground up is very stressful and not an easy task, but it hinges on who undertakes the job. > In our quest for a reliable builder, Brian emerged as the right person, instilling confidence in us from our initial meeting. Not to mention that he is an architect too which makes the whole world of difference. Enter Brad, the project manager, overseeing every aspect with an unparalleled understanding of the project from inception to completion, a feat beyond self-management. In the dictionary of Brian and Brad, 'no' and 'impossible' are absent because every challenge is met with a 'yes' and 'possible.' > To those seeking a comprehensive builder for their home construction, look no further; Maple Leaf is the solution. **★★★★★ — Ben Rousseau, Jan. 2020** > Maple Leaf Custom Homes is the definition of professional. We cannot be happier with the job they did on our new house build. It started with Fred and Brian in the initial pre-con stages discussing project details and preliminary frame work of the design. We were on the same page from day one. During construction our project manager Jason represented us from start to finish, if there was ever any issues he was quick to remedy or give us potential solutions that were in many cases better then the original design. Alidio and Edis continued that MLCH professionalism right down to closing, their craftsmanship and attention to detail set them apart from all the rest. > Thanks so much to the MLCH team!! > We are so blessed to have worked with you to create our dream family home. > Regards, > Rousseau Family **★ — Glen M, May 2019** > Not satisfied. I expected better quality from Maple Leaf Custom Homes. For example the garage floor is not near level, out by close to 1 inch side to side where the doors meet the floor. The floor slopes from either side into the middle, this is not standard in my oppinion. **★★★★ — Vernon MacKay, July 2018** > The MLCH team did a great job in building our house, from excavation to the finishing touches, and they came in on budget. Their brand of service is professional and personable, a great team to deal with. When unforeseen issues arose in relation to design, MLCH came up with innovative solutions that preserved, and even enhanced, our vision for the house. They were responsive to our questions and knowledgeable in their answers. They delivered a high quality product and are good about doing follow up work when needed. We highly recommend the MLCH team. **★★★★★ — Ed C, Dec. 2017** > Having never built a custom home before and living outside of Canada when our project began, we knew we needed to find a trustworthy builder. Our initial search on Houzz narrowed us down to three custom home builders. After researching Ontario's Tarion home warranty system, Maple Leaf Custom Homes (“MLCH”) was the only company still operating under their original corporate entity, and having no reported claims. In addition, we liked that MLCH would act as both architect and general contractor. > > Our project began with Fred helping us pick the property. Next, we selected and purchased a house design on houseplans.com. Brian from MLCH used these plans as a starting point for our final design, converting them to local standards and making many improvements for us. Our drawings were finalized with care and attention. > > Before breaking ground, we worked Brenda, one of MLCH’s contract interior designers, to make all our trim and detail selections. I highly recommend doing this in advance. This gave us full visibility of our costs before site work started, and gave no cause for delay. Except for a few very specific upgrades and changes we made during the build, there were no extra costs when the project was completed. We were very pleased not to have to deal with any financial games or surprises. MLCH’s financial honesty was top-notch. > > Reflecting on the actual construction phase, I commend the company for their commitment to making the customer experience as smooth as possible. Every time there was a problem, MLCH communicated well with us and did the right thing. We moved in when our temporary occupancy permit was issued, and worked with MLCH to resolve a relatively long list of open items. That phase of the project was probably the most challenging for us, but after the work was fully complete, we are very satisfied with the quality, appearance, and function of the house. > > I can say with confidence that Maple Leaf Custom Homes’ owners and employees are among the most likeable and trustworthy I’ve ever met. Their commitment to customer satisfaction is sincere. If we ever build another house in the Ottawa area, I know we’d build with MLCH again and I’m happy to recommend them to others. **★★★★★ — \_\_andy, April 2017** > Every day we look at our home and can't believe it's ours! > > Living in Beaverbrook for the past ten years, we knew this is where we wanted to stay. We were living in a semi, but we always kept our eye open for a bungalow. Finally one came up. However, it was in very rough shape. > > Having been highly recommended to us from friends, we contacted Maple Leaf Custom Homes. > > This project was a 75-85% renovation of the home, stripped down to the studs and a complete remodel of the main floor plan. We worked with an interior designer to have the proper flow to the floor plan, but when we brought the final plans to MLCH, Brian pointed out some areas he thought would be an issue. His recommendations and changes were spot on. Their commitment to making sure their customer has the best space possible is one of the many things we believe set MLCH apart from other home builders. > > In 4 months they turned the place into something we could in the past only dreamed of, and we simply can't thank them enough for their hard work, craftsmanship, attention to detail and commitment to delivering a product that we and MLCH can be proud of. > > The two biggest things we look for when doing business with anyone are: > > 1\. Great people - From the moment we talked with Fred and Brian about the project we knew that the top of the company had great people. We hoped that this funneled down throughout their team. This turned out to be a bright spot; every person at MLH we dealt with was kind, courteous, knowledgeable, and spoke up when they had ideas to make things better. A special highlight to two team members - Oscar and Miguel; two of the best people I've seen on a job site. > > 2\. How do they react when faced with problems - For anyone who thinks problems will not arise on every project is setting themselves up for a rough ride. Issues come up all the time, but the mark of a great team is in how they deal with them. Do they place blame and hide from it or do they take ownership regardless if it was their fault or not and fix the situation? MLCH was a 10/10 here; any issues on our project were communicated to us and dealt with promptly. > > We couldn't be happier with our home, and we can’t say thanks enough for MLH for helping us achieve our dream home! > > If you’re thinking about building a home or doing a large renovation, you’d be doing yourself a disservice by not looking at MLCH. **Comment from Maple Leaf Custom Homes:** > Thanks very much for your kind words guys! Your experience and final product are a good indication of how great you were to work with as clients. It was an absolute pleasure to work with you and would do another project with you in a heart beat! **★★★★★ — Gina Godin, Nov. 2016** > Maple leaf custom homes is truly a pleasure to work with. From start to finish the team works together to complete stunning projects with the client in mind at all times. It is great to work with such true professionals and would highly recommend them to anyone. **★★★★★ — Cohen and Cohen Natural Stone, Dec. 2015** > Brian and his team are excellent to work with. They are organized, pay well and on time and produce a beautiful finished product. I have also spoken to several of their clients who have similar sentiments. I would not hesitate to recommend them for any scale of project. **★★★★★ — gcarey66, Jan. 2015** > We highly recommend Maple Leaf to anyone considering building a custom home - great service, excellent quality, and you can't beat their price! Their after-completion care is also best in the business! > > What I liked most about working with Maple Leaf with our home construction was their transparency with the budget, and their professional attitude towards any concerns we had in building our new home. There were no surprises at all with the costs, everything was laid out for us before decisions were made. > > Maple Leaf was also easy to approach, they were very prompt in responding to any questions we had, and they were very helpful to us in terms of helping us through the process of building a new home. Maple Leaf was expert in construction techniques with our home, which had some intricate complexities that they were able to resolve quickly and cost effectively. Our home was built with the highest quality at a very reasonable price compared to other quotes that we had. **★★★★★ — richardconfrey, Jan. 2015** > We had a great experience with the entire Maple Leaf team building our duplex in Hintonburg!! They are committed to providing a top notch product and they take great pride in all their projects! They work collaboratively with the home owner at all stages, from early conceptual meetings, through the approval process and the implementation to the final home. This is our second project with Maple Leaf and we were impressed with the progress Brian and Fred have achieved with their company. For example they have brought on board Jason (project manager) who takes the lead on the actual construction of your house from digging the hole to hanging the last light fixture. Fred helps you navigate the financial aspects which makes it a lot easier to keep all the numbers in order. They hire the best trades; from foundation guys, framers, plumbers, electricians, painters, etc.. who each treated us like real people and were always happy to listen to our needs and would provide very valuable advice when on-the-fly adjustments were needed. Maple Leaf also has a fantastic in house team that truly customized our house and helped realize our vision down to the smallest details. > > We will definitely use Maple Leaf again if we decide to take on another Ottawa based project > > Richard and Denis **★★★★★ — ddg21, Jan. 2015** > We have just finished the design phase of our custom home project and have been extremely happy with the level of service so far provided. Brian and Fred are excellent communicators, customer focused and very patient, which as you can imagine, is so important on an undertaking like this. With all the details, and changes that they have been bombarded with, they have remained unphased and fun. We look forward to the next few months when our house finally gets built! Hadi **★★★★★ — Christopher Simmonds Architect, Sept. 2014** > We have really enjoyed working with Maple Leaf Custom Homes and look forward to more projects with them in the future. They truly are budget and detail oriented builders who can deliver a project on time and within the financial parameters set out in the budget phase. It has been very refreshing to work with a builder that can usually foresee potential areas of concern at the outset and provide field-derived solutions to details while still in the design phase, while always keeping a focus on budget realities. **★★★★★ — chutch9, June 2014** > Maple Leaf Homes proved to be an exceptionally responsible and responsive builder. They considered the unique needs of our neighbourhood and environment in their approach to the design and in executing and completing the construction of our house. Their enthusiasm for the project paralleled our own and was reflected in their commitment to producing a high quality product. We were very impressed with the calibre of tradesmen that were subcontracted for our project and to their keen attention to detail. We have and continue to recommend Maple Leaf Custom Homes to other prospective clients and would work with them again on a future project if we decide to design and build another home. **★★★★★ — Ardington and Associates Design Inc., Oct. 2013** > Honest, caring, and professional home builder. The entire team does whatever it takes to make sure the customer is always happy and comfortable throughout the entire design / construction process, and they treat every home like it's their own. ## Selected projects - [Waterfront Wonderful](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/waterfront-wonderful-pj-vj~7697696) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 22 - [Spanish Revival Farmhouse](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/spanish-revival-farmhouse-pj-vj~7547935) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 20 - [Farmhouse Riverfront](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/farmhouse-riverfront-pj-vj~7555958) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 26 - [Mid-Century Modern Among the Pines](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/mid-century-modern-among-the-pines-pj-vj~7271471) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 16 - [Symmetry and Elegance](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/symmetry-and-elegance-pj-vj~7375312) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 17 - [Eclectic Interior](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/eclectic-interior-pj-vj~7609069) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 16 - [Urban Oasis](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/urban-oasis-pj-vj~6981162) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 25 - [Canal View House](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/canal-view-house-pj-vj~5788701) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 15 - [Urban Canopy](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/urban-canopy-pj-vj~6982391) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 11 - [Family and Friends](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/family-and-friends-pj-vj~6722892) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 17 - Description: Contemporary home designed for entertaining - [Dunrobin Highland House](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/dunrobin-highland-house-pj-vj~5788585) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 12 - Description: Farmhouse, Craftsman, Timber - [Urban Farmhouse](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/urban-farmhouse-pj-vj~7016148) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 11 - [River View House](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/river-view-house-pj-vj~5779748) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 12 - [Urban Edge](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/urban-edge-pj-vj~6722733) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 11 - [Elegant Infill](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/elegant-infill-pj-vj~6750263) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 11 - [Modern Urban Infill](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/modern-urban-infill-pj-vj~1331067) - Location: Ottawa, ON - Photos: 13 - Description: Architect: Christopher Simmonds Architect - [Modern Waterfront](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/modern-waterfront-pj-vj~1330959) - Location: Dunrobin, ON - Photos: 11 - Description: Architect: Christopher Simmonds Architect - [Farmhouse Modern Industrial](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/farmhouse-modern-industrial-pj-vj~2993650) - Location: Ottawa, ON - Photos: 18 - [Orleans Modern](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/orleans-modern-pj-vj~3958984) - Location: Ottawa, ON - Photos: 13 - [Custom Contemporary](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/custom-contemporary-pj-vj~2358115) - Location: Ottawa, ON - Photos: 18 [See all 32 projects](https://www.houzz.com/professionals/home-builders/maple-leaf-custom-homes-pfvwus-pf~1040478760) ## Frequently Asked Questions **Do you handle permitting and inspections for new home construction?** Yes, we absolutely handle all aspects of permitting and inspections for your new home construction.

A: Hi, We did not do the interior home decor on this project. It was done by Tatiana Wojtan Studio. You can find her here on Houzz. Hope that helps. Thanks, Brian **Q: I would love to know where that sofa table is from ?** *(in Photo Questions)* The shelving behind the sofa. It’s exactly what I’m looking for. Would love to know where from A: Hi Chimen, Thanks for your message. We didn't do the interior design work but the designers name is Tanner Vine from Ottawa. He should be able to help with your question. Thanks, Brian **Q: Cost to build this home** *(in Photo Questions)* Not certain if we should buy a house already on the market or have a home built. I really like this home approx how much would it cost to build (obviously not including property costs etc.) A: Hi, The cost to build a home like this would be about $325-330/sqft (plus HST). This would not include lot or permit fees. Hope that helps. Thanks, Brian **Q: what type of pool is this and what color?** *(in Photo Questions)* what type of pool is this and what color? A: Hi, I'm not quite sure the details of the pool. I belive the installer was Abloom Landscaping. The contact there is Luc. luc@abloomlandscape.com Hopefully that helps. Thanks, Brian **Q: Beautiful! What is the stone used here?** *(in Photo Questions)* Would love to know what stone you used. thanks! A: Hi, The stone is Adair Limesone. Hope that helps. Thanks, Brian **Q: garage door product** *(in Photo Questions)* I love the garage door, what product is that? And does it match the siding exactly? A: Hi Gillian, I believe the garage door was actually a cedar wood plank door that came as raw wood. The wood siding is also cedar. All of the wood was stained together at the same time to match eachother. There are a few manufacturers who supply raw wood doors. Hope that helps. Thanks, Brian --- *Source: Houzz professional profile. Reflects the profile as of 2026-08-10.*
