Growing up in Namibia, Africa, I began my career in construction on my grandfather’s farm. At a young age, I was taught by my grandfather, that quality, integrity and tidy work are the cornerstones of any job I embark on. Today, I base all my work on these qualities, which I believe are what make a project stand out and ensure longevity. These principles have been integral to my work experiences throughout projects in England, Ireland and Canada. I launched my business shortly after my arrival in Canada. Word of mouth alone has led to increased projects and my business has reached a level of success I am proud of. My work ethic and principles are the main tools of my business, and I intend to let the end product attest to this. I look forward to working with you! ### Services Provided - Home Remodeling - Bathroom Remodeling - Kitchen Remodeling - General Contracting - Home Additions - Custom Homes - New Home Construction - Home Extensions - Deck Building - Basement Remodeling - Guesthouse Design & Construction - Garage Building - Flooring Installation - Outdoor Kitchen Construction - Home Restoration - Pool House Design & Construction - Porch Design & Construction - Project Management - Tile Installation - Custom Home Bars - House Framing - Attic Conversion - Window Installation - Shower Installation - Siding Installation - Exterior Door Installation - Stair Installation - Drywall Installation - Barn Design & Construction - Wine Cellar Installation - Roof Installation - Tiny House Construction - Sliding Door Installation - Trim Work - Crown Molding Installation - Shed Design & Construction - Masonry - Baseboard Installation - Brick Masonry - Wainscoting - Fireplace Installation - Stucco Installation - Cedar Siding - Subfloor Installation - Concrete Repair - Fiber Cement Siding - Aluminum Siding - Brick Siding - Range Hood Installation - Chimney Construction ### Areas Served - Kingston - Toronto ### Typical Job Cost CAD 5,000 - CAD 2,500,000 ## Business Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Business Name | Roald Smith Construction Inc | | Address | Toronto, Ontario M4C3L2, Canada | | Phone | (647) 210-4928 | | Website | http://www.roaldsmithconstruction.com/ | | Followers on Houzz | 32 | **Social profiles:** - Facebook — roaldsmithconstrcution ## Offers COVID19 Discounts! _Call for details_ (valid through July 2020) ## Contact - **Houzz profile:** [Roald Smith Construction Inc](https://www.houzz.com/professionals/general-contractors/roald-smith-construction-inc-pfvwus-pf~505320076) - **Website:** http://www.roaldsmithconstruction.com/ - **Phone:** (647) 210-4928 ## Credentials **Certifications & Awards** - Tarion Builder. - **Best of Houzz:** 1 award (2018), for Service. ## Reviews **Overall rating: 4.9 out of 5 — 15 reviews** ### Reviews **★★★★★ — curtainsrocky, Feb. 2020** > This was a medium/large scale project (city sized lot), designed to bring maximal utility, beauty, enjoyment and serenity to my outdoor space. > > Not only am I THRILLED with the outcome – the joy experienced at its development is embedded in the structure itself. Truly. It hums…It really does. > > Ritter & Smith (Robert, Roald - Alvaro too) are Consummate Craftsmen. Working together with them was this designer’s dream. I felt immediately confident and comfortable in their hands. With their experience and energy, professionalism and personal approach. They are committed to delivering quality, excellence – to solid, exquisite construction - that makes sense. > > Each member of the team has an eye for design/detail that is keen and critical. Not seen with standard trades people. They share an artisanal reverence for the materials they work with, have solid technical expertise, and they afforded me a refreshing brand of patience and practical consideration across the arc of the process. It was good. There was integrity. Care. Humor. We shared ideas. I changed my mind. We kept it moving and we had fun! The result was an end product that feels alive, inspired and elegant, in harmony with the environment it occupies, and as much a pleasure to look at as it is to BE in and interact with. Beautiful. Thoughtful. Strong. > > Because of my experience on this past project, I will work with Ritter & Smith on ALL future projects for my home – outside and in. The quality of the work and the quality of the relationship are one and the same. What a concept and what a relief. What’s next includes an inviting, protective, front entrance structure that echoes the structure and attitude of the back - and then my kitchen and wet room. > > Putting imagination and integrity together revealed a beautiful surprise just waiting to happen. I highly recommend this crew. > > With heartfelt thanks, > > Penny > Euclid Ave. Toronto, ON > > Project – 14’ x 24’ floating deck / pergola structure / fencing / planter box privacy wal > Materials – White Cedar / reclaimed Douglas Fir / pressure-treated lumber / custom fabricated powder coated steel. **Comment from Roald Smith Construction Inc:** > Thank you Penny this is wonderful.

Roald and his team were a pleasure to have in our home. They took the time to explain every detail, provided great advice throughout and most importantly respected the time and budget we had allowed for. We would highly recommend to anyone looking for a new home builder or total home renovation. **★★★★★ — Nick Tsaggarelis, Jan. 2018** > From start to finish, quality was impeccable. I brought in Roald Smith Construction after another contracting company was unable to begin and I was left to figure out how to manage some of the trades I had already lined up. Communication with me and the other trades was spectacular. Time was spent explaining why certain procedures needed to occur, as well as providing efficiencies and alterations to keep the budget and quality of job with price always being discussed and never any hidden costs or fees. Professional from beginning to end, with invoices provided promptly. The team at Roald Smith Construction was organized, safe, punctual and exemplified old world craftsmanship with new world commitments and efficiency. **★★★★★ — Victoria Kirton - Countrywide Kitchens, Jan. 2018** > Roald Smith is a pleasure to work with and to share ideas, he and is staff are all very professional and knowledgeable. I would definitely recommend Roald to clients, he truly cares about his clients and the finished project. **★★★★★ — RitaSue & Curt Bolton, Dec. 2017** > A contractor/builder/worker/manager extraordinaire depending on the needs of our projects who became a friend! > > We initially hired Roald Smith Contruction Inc based on a good friend's recommendation to fix a bathroom challenge left by another trades person and ended up hiring Roald again to turn a small front hall closet into a downstairs bathroom with a sink, as well as creating an archway between our living room/dining area into our back hallway leading to the back of our kitchen all the while addressing all the challenges one finds in a 76 year old home. > > Roald Smith is a people person who is creative, has great customer service skills and thinks outside the box when confronted with challenges which can arise on any project. > > He is a joy to work with & we look forward to consulting with him and his team on future projects. **Comment from Roald Smith Construction Inc:** > Thank for the review. It has been a pleasure working with and for you. Roald Smith **★★★★ — Scott Pyne, Dec. 2017** > We were very pleased with the work that Roald Smith Construction did on our renovation. We found the focus on quality workmanship very evident and we very much enjoyed that. The sub-contractors were well supervised. They met their originally time estimates. We were pleased enough to hire them again this fall for a smaller project - same result - excellent workmanship. **Comment from Roald Smith Construction Inc:** > Thank you for the review. I hope you have wonderful festive season. > Roald **★★★★★ — Andre Labrie, Dec. 2017** > Roald Smith Construction did a fairly major renovation for us. We purchased a 45 year old house. We did a major renovation gutting the interior and removing most walls and completely redesigning it. We designed our place and Roald was able to see the vision and achieve what we were looking for. His work included structural beam work, redoing masonry outside as we added a lot of glass on the back exterior wall which also included structural work. The finishing work was excellent and Roald's eye for quality was excellent. He managed sub trades well and dealt with any issues that arose to our satisfaction. We are very happy with the entire project and love our new place. **★★★★★ — Reid & Siemonsen Design Group, June 2017** > Our design team has used Roald Smith Construction many times for our past and current projects. We value their craftsmanship, professionalism, level of quality and care to detail. We look forward to continuing our working relationship with Roald and his team. **★★★★★ — leclair-hyett design, May 2017** > I have worked along side Roald on 3 projects and the latest transformation is just commencing. I recommended Roald to this client based on my experience with previous home owners. He is a complete professional. Whether a restoration of century old plaster work and exterior porch rebuild in downtown Kingston On or turning a dated suburban wood façade into a mid century modern design. His patience is admirable. ## Selected projects - [New House](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/new-house-pj-vj~2747004) - Location: Kingston, ON - Photos: 17 - [Old Home Renovated Into Modern House with Natural Light](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/old-home-renovated-into-modern-house-with-natural-light-pj-vj~2747089) - Location: Toronto, ON - Photos: 30 - [Home Remodel](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/home-remodel-pj-vj~2454279) - Location: Kingston, ON - Photos: 6 - [New Home Remodel](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/new-home-remodel-pj-vj~2454311) - Location: Kingston, ON - Photos: 3 - [Shed](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/shed-pj-vj~2861406) - Location: Kingston, ON - Photos: 1 - Description: This is a shed we build for a client to increase his storage space.

Aged Pewter? It looks great!** *(in Photo Questions)* A: I will have to have a look at our records but if not mistaken this is just a vinyl siding **Q: Just bought this beauty....what next!?** *(in Home Decorating)* We just bought a home for our family of 5 in North Carolina! Would love ideas on how to modernize the space! House built in 94. I want to update the floors, paint, and eventually renovate the kitchen, expand the master bedroom and add a screened in porch. I don’t know much about floors - could these be stained a grey-ish color or something dark? Any paint color suggestions? I was thinking of doing the walls grey, keeping the beachy/seaside vibe that’s going on! \*^furniture is belonging to current owners. I will be purchasing all new furniture!!\*\* Any and all suggestions much appreciated! A: Hi Jasmine. it looks like stunning house. I have seen some awesome floor redone in matt finish. this hides the dirt and imperfections quite well. The house seems to have so much natural light that creates so much opportunity as my architect says it is only free thing you get in house. use warm colors on walls where you want to create a warm and cozy feeling. Remember you can always paint a house if you do not like the colour you choose. Last bit from me is get a idea of what you are going to buy for furniture as this can also balance the feeling of the house. I work with interior designers a lot and I think they are worth every penny. Choosing some one if you do is like any other business relationship. If you do not feel a connection try someone else. Hope this helps. beautiful house. take care --- *Source: Houzz professional profile. Reflects the profile as of 2026-09-11.*
