Design-Build Contractors & Firms Near Ottawa

“Did a wonderful job remodeling my kitchen. They completed the job on time and on budget. Very impressed with this service”

“In August, 2016, Amsted Design Build helped us to create a beautiful master bedroom ensuite with walk-in shower. We chose Amsted to do our work based on very positive past experiences we have had with this company. Since 1995, Amsted has completely renovated our 50+ year old home, and added a substantial addition. We know we are in good hands with Amsted. Our master bedroom ensuite project, however, was the first time we had experienced the "design" aspect of Amsted's Design-Build services. Paulette MacGregor spoke with us about our expectations and presented us with great ideas for materials, colour, and design. We appreciated her attention to the smallest details and love the final product. Steve Putinski did most of the hands on work in our space and did a fantastic job from site protection, demolition and construction, to the final finishing touches. We appreciate the quality of work done by workers from all trades. As we were living in our home during the renovation we appreciated that the construction site was kept clean and we were always informed about the schedule. We would highly recommend Amsted Construction for all construction needs—big or small!”

“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.”
