New Home Construction Companies in Esquimalt

“Island Builders has been our only contractor for over thirty years. They have performed numerous maintenance and renovation projects for us on our first two homes. We have always been extremely satisfied and pleased with everything they have done for us. They are honest and consummate professionals with every thing they do. So last year when my wife and I decided to build our dream home we engaged them again.it was so nice to deal with the same management team and workers we had dealt with through out the years. They made use feel like we were part of the team and were always looking out for our best interest. Our new home has exceeded all our expectations and we have nothing but the highest recommendation for every one at Island Builders. Prompt,courteous, caring and professional. Thank you to every one at Island Builders for building our dream home.”

“We've had the privilege of working with Aesir Contracting on numerous projects and can say, with the utmost confidence, that Jon and his team are committed from the beginning of each project to ensure their clients are completely satisfied.”

“Allan completed an upgrade to my kitchen two years ago. He changed a very ugly, dark steel door and small window for a very beautiful 3 piece patio door and installed a new large window on a side wall. This reno, while small by comparison to many other jobs, meant so much to me and my family. He was very professional and completely reliable, communicating daily. As a single woman raising two teenagers, he made what could have been a scary experience, into one that was calm and efficient, and I couldn't be happier with the results. I recommend him highly.”

“I had them paint the eaves and trim on my two story home. They did an excellent job, quickly, and at a reasonable price.”

“I worked alongside Vineuve on a residential renovation project in 2021 through our interior design studio Bidgood. I have nothing but great things to say about the construction process from start to finish! Ryan was diligent, communicative, an excellent problem solver, and kept the project moving at a great pace which is quite challenging in a busy construction market. The design was detailed and unique, and Ryan accepted the challenge and kept things fun along the way. We welcome our next project together!”

“If you want to work with professionals who do what they promise, and do it well, these are your guys. We purchased a beautiful home on Guemes Island, off the mainland of Washington state. The house has lots of character and many custom elements, including wood trim from native trees. As such, we needed to find a contractor who respected and appreciated the craftsmanship and who would make an extra effort to retain the high quality and look. Our first major project was to transform a tiny powder room into a 3-piece bath with shower. After interviewing several contractors, we decided to go with Cameron and Bigfoot Builders. He was extremely detailed in his project scope and pricing. He was also the only one with an online website which was customized for our project and where we could check on timeline, progress, change orders, etc. Working with Cameron was very easy. He took 360 degree photos and translated them into a diagram that showed the amount of space we had and what could be done with it. Since we had a large closet on the other side of the wall with the sink, he proposed that we utilize some of that space for the shower, while keeping the remainder of the space as a very usable clothes closet with shelves. Timing was a bit delayed, but not due to their work. Being on an island has its challenges and the ferry accessing Guemes was out for 6 weeks so, by the time we could actually get started, it was well into peak season and we had to work with each subcontractor (electrician, plumber, tile, etc) as they became available. Cameron was really good at communicating dates of availability and trying to move things up when he could. Each of the subs did exceptional work, so no complaints there. Cameron worked with us with the colors and materials and offered valuable input. The result is very functional and high quality, maintaining the craftsmanship and look of the rest of the house. The materials allowance included in the estimate was generous, unlike many contractors who try to keep those costs minimal. Cameron understood what the desired final look would be and was able to procure high quality materials. He even had an extra tall custom shower door built rather than a standard off the shelf door so the look would be more cohesive. The shower door will be installed today and I am looking forward to the final, finished look. The bath is situated between a bedroom and media room and really looks like it is an ensuite to the bedroom. It does not look like an add-on. I can't say enough about the high quality work that the Bigfoot team does. Kyle, who was working hard the whole project, did exceptional work, even according to the other subs. He framed out the shower stall perfectly, so perfectly that the man who came to take the shower door measurements had to take them three times because he could not believe how perfectly the job was done. He told me that "they could have just sent me the measurements and saved me a ferry ride". The entire Bigfoot team is a pleasure to work with. Everyone is pleasant, respectful, and eager to please. This is such a welcome departure from other contractors that I have worked with. Even smaller, miscellaneous tasks like a sliding door lock (which my husband mangled) were done with cheerfulness and attention to detail. This company has upped the bar for their competition. I will be doing other projects with them.”

“I have had the privilege of working with Russ Barry on waterfront homes on Vancouver Island and found Russ as a builder, to be very enthusiastic throughout the construction phase and handled the each project very professionally. He is 'hands-on' and manages his crew very well and treats everyone including sub-trades with a high degree of respect. My clients have always given me positive feedback of having Russ on the job site. He always maintained a tidy and efficiently smooth job site, he is punctual and delivers on his promises!”

“Working with Lucas Poole of Saltwood Contracting designing and building my suite was a wonderful experience from beginning to end. At the outset I shared my vision and budget. Lucas then brought his great sense of design and deep experience to bear as he transformed the high level vision into well defined elegant blueprints. This process was highly collaborative and rewarding. As the project got underway the inevitable challenges were met with grace and creative solutions that aligned with the vision and budget. Lucas and his team delivered a top quality project on time and budget. I love my home and am grateful to have had the opportunity of working with Saltwood Constracting.””

“Cugino Homes did an amazing job for me. I had them undertake a complete condo renovation from floor to ceiling, wall removals and redesign. I consulted with Scott before I purchased the property and wouldn't have bought without his company's assistance. The design team was excellent; customizing everything to my taste. Cugino Homes kept me up to date as the project progressed and there were no financial surprises either. Excellent work. I highly recommend Cugino Homes Inc.”

“Earth House Holdings is, without a doubt, one of the best tile installation companies I have ever used. From preparation to clean up, a totally professional well exectued experience. Tony installed an entrance hall and four bathrooms for me which included a huge glassed in shower, accent walls and inserts. He used a range of products from marble mosaics, oversized textured porcelain tiles, natural stone, and subway tile with beautiful results. He takes his time and does the job right the first time. I would not hesitate to recommend Tony and his company!”
