Modular Home Addition Companies in Toronto

“Gianluca is a top notch contractor, and we highly recommend both Gianluca and his outstanding team. Here’s why. Our house was reasonably well built in 1985 but after 40 years of kids, parties, pets, wear & tear, our home was sliding into serious disrepair. We began planning for extensive renovations. We had already updated some of the main floor, but the second floor was in bad shape, and our kitchen needed an update. Threadbare carpet with folds, creaky squeaky stairs and floors and a bathtub that leaked etc. The kitchen laminate counter was worn, tile back splash amateurish and styled from the 80’s. In my job I do a fair bit of project management so I approached this reno in a similar fashion. First: what did we want? We created a spreadsheet of things that we wanted fixed, added or improved, and the priority. Was it a deal breaker or a nice to have? Here’s an abbreviated list of our needs: - Fix squeaky floors & stairs - Gut bathroom - New window on wall above stair landing - Remove popcorn ceilings - Upgraded trim - Built-in bookshelves - Closets & shelving - Upgraded carpet - Kitchen quartz counter tops, tile, sink - Paint throughout Next: budget. We had no idea on what this reno would cost. We found an excellent reno resource out of Waterloo. Paul Demrovski has a number of superb tutorials (www.pdrenovations.ca/the-blog/). Paul divides renovations into basic (e.g. Ikea), mid-range with good quality materials, high end for people that wish the best. We chose upper mid-tier, $80 to 100 per square foot. Hence our 800 sq ft would be about $100k including contingency of 10% and HST. Houzz recommended 3 contractors. Gianluca immediately stood out. Our list of needs in hand, he toured our house, brimming with ideas, filming with a head mounted camera (“So I can review everything later” he said) . Customer reviews were detailed & highly complementary. We wanted a fixed bid, Gianluca agreed, a contract signed. Gianluca’s team (subcontractors) were extraordinary. Fabulous work, done on time and budget. If there was something not to spec, they fixed it. Gianluca was organized, insightful, listened and offered recommendations on materials. I worked very closely with Gianluca in designing aspects that were very important to us such as the new window (needed professional engineer’s drawings and town approval), bathroom and closets. Tight cooperation resolved problems quickly & shed light on possible issues early, enabling us to avoid potential problems & save time & money. Our project took about 6 weeks. We love it and our family, visitors & guests have been awestruck! We recommend these steps: - Identify the things you want & rank them must have or nice to have - do your research, e.g. open houses, vendors, magazines - sweat the details e.g. colours, materials, functionality - set a realistic budget - ask for a fixed bid - make a detailed schedule - plan where you will live during the reno - work closely with Gianluca to minimize delays B&N”

“Second time using Goldstein. First was a bathroom reno back in 2022. This time we did an addition on the back of the house. Different scale entirely, but the same experience. Isho keeps things organized and you always know where your project stands. There were permits, engineers and a lot that had to be managed, but Isho handled it all. We didn't have to chase anyone down and we're already planning to build our new garage with him and his team next year.”

“I have to commend the team at Placid for their exceptional work! They significantly reduced the stress associated with our project thanks to their calm demeanour and unwavering focus. Despite the inevitable ups and downs, they remained true to their promise and delivered the project on time, particularly during the construction phase. Andrew and Frank did a fantastic job on our house, consistently communicating with us and demonstrating incredible patience in explaining the process and navigating any hurdles. Their team is highly knowledgeable and versatile in design and Construction. For anyone seeking a builder who is honest, hardworking, and exceptionally talented, look no further!”
