DIR Construction & Renovations Inc.

I had the pleasure of working with Seri and Roula for a garage reconstruction and it was a positive experience from day 1. All of the steps were done with professionalism and all of the contractors were amazing. If ever there was a problem/miscommunication, Seri and/or Roula would be on top of the situation right away and we always felt reassured. I look forward to working with them on future projects.

We hired DIR Construction and Renovations to complete a kitchen renovation project in February 2020. We could not have been happier with Roula and Seri. They were completely transparent with costs and time frames. They were genuinely excited by the project and strived to provide us with the best space possible within our budget. Roula gave much time and consideration to choosing materials with us, and let us take the time needed to make decisions. Seri is extremely conscientious and does indeed make sure the job is done right. We now have a beautiful kitchen that we love spending time in. I would highly recommend them for any home renovation project.

DIR was always very professional, producing high-end, quality work. Roula and Seri are very friendly and were always accommodating for our long-term project. I would definitely recommend them for any type of home renovation / addition project!

My wife and I have hired DIR for several projects in the last 3 years. It started when we decided to give them a try with a renovation to a basement bathroom. We were so pleased with the result and found the experience in dealing with them to be so pleasant, we hired them 3 more times for increasingly bigger projects. Full main bathroom renovation, complete basement renovation, new sump pump, new sound proof home theater room, roof replacement. Like many homes in Montreal, we were flooded in 2017. We had already used DIR 2 times before the flooding so when we called, they were at our doorstep the very next day. Their concern for our well being was real and genuine. It didn't take them long to identify the entry point for the groundwater coming into our basement and they were able to fix the problem and then did a beautiful job rebuilding our basement. When the flooding hit again in the spring of 2019, not a drop of water entered our basement. My wife and I were and are incredibly thankful for their expertise in construction and design. They won't just do what you ask, they will work to understand what you need to accomplish and then work with you to suggest the best ways to get it done right. The initial design stage is helpful and complete. They were always incredibly patient with our decision making process as we can be quite fussy, but they never blinked and supported all of our change requests and questions. It is rare to find such a combination of quality work, and personal, pleasant customer care before and after construction. I highly recommend them. The stats I have provided below relate to the most recent job we hired them for.

We highly recommend DiR Renovations for any project, large or small. Seri and Roula Gandhi are very professional, passionately detailed oriented individuals. Our project was very ambitious, taking a small bungalow and creating the house of our dreams. We added an addition to our home which included a designer kitchen, master bedroom and en-suite, with the entire house (including the basement) completely redone. When I start my day I feel in awe of what my husband and I accomplished, it was a courageous dream realized and we are so happy we chose DiR to partner with us. The project took 5 months to complete, and we never lost a single night of sleep. Roula and Seri made us feel secure every step of the way which really says a lot about who they are both professionally and personally. They are good, hard working people who have extremely high standards and values on whom they employ on their team. We were very impressed by their network of partnerships throughout our journey. We would highly recommend DIR Renovations for any project you have, and your dreams and vision will become reality. Erin Whittaker

I was more than pleased with the excellent work that DIR did to overhaul my bathroom last Spring. I obtained quotes from three contractors, and this one was in the middle, but what impressed me the most at the outset was DIR's obvious desire to produce something with which I would be happy. Although living through a renovation project is never pleasant, DIR showed up every day, explained everything to me clearly, and most importantly were incredibly easy to work with. Everyone was polite and friendly, and the project was finished on budget. The finished product was amazing (it really was exceptional work!), and the customer service was by far the best I have ever experienced. DIR will not disappoint; they have my highest recommendation.

It was with great trepidation that we approached our idea of demolition and construction of a new main floor dining room and workroom in the new basement as we have never before taken on a project of this size, but after meeting both Roula and Seri who came to our house when we began the process of collecting estimates our concern was greatly diminished. Not only were they able to answer all of our questions, but they also have such a calm approach to their work with a strong current of passion. Once we made the decision to sign with DIR, we began to meet the different groups of their team and associated workers. They were all so very polite, conscientious, skilled and concerned with our wants. During construction, any concern or question we had was quickly answered or dealt with by the team. The finished product is absolutely beautiful and we are so pleased to have chosen DIR.

I hired DiR for their professionalism. The contractor showed great knowledge of the building. His knowledge of construction was an asset. Work was done efficiently . Detail was excellent. Went over budget do to added items requested . Deadlines were on time. Excellent work and would highly recommend DiR for renos.

My husband and I had always planned to extend our house. We had no idea of the extent of details and planning this entailed until we found Dir. Their ability to clearly walk us through the process from planning, to implementation, to the finished product, was amazing. The knowledge and skills of each crew member were complimentary. They were able to communicate with us in a timely manner about any details that we needed to be aware of. They gave us multiple alternatives in a wide variety of price ranges, when we discovered unknowns when opening floors, or walls. The daily clean-up and attention ensuring the safety of our children during this process was wonderful. This crew treated our project like it was in their own home. They didn't rush through any detail. This attention to details and quality was impressive considering the amount of weather interference we endured. When choosing a company to drastically change your living space, there is always a fear that you will not choose wisely and will be left with a disaster. Seri and Roula and the entire Dir team were able to allay these fears with their clear and timely communication and explanations through out each step of the project. They were always available to give suggestions,address any concerns, communicate progress and assist us with the little details . If ever we plan any other project for our home we will be calling Dir!

Working with Seri and Roula was a real pleasure. I hired DIR to build a carport along the side of my home. After many winters of putting up a temporary car shelter in the winter, I wanted a more permanent solution. I am an engineer and a very detail oriented person. Seri was not only very professional, he was also happy to discuss various construction options in detail, and was always available to explain any aspect that was not clear to me. When we ran into some delays getting the permit from the city, DIR did their best to slot the work in as soon as possible. And the workers who were onsite were very friendly and respectful, and always left everything clean and orderly. The end result was a well built, quality addition to my home that has made winters easier to deal with. But the best part is that it blends so well with the house that it looks like it has always been there. I would highly recommend DIR!

Our childcare center had a bathroom added in our building. Being a childcare center, it can be difficult finding a company that can accommodate our needs. The best way to measure a company's performance is through the professionalism they demonstrate, strong work ethics, providing a great service, creating a strong customer-centric culture and fair pricing. DIR met all these criteria with an added dose of friendliness! Thanks Seri and Roula for meeting our daycare's needs!

Seri And Roula run an efficient team providing great service to its clients. We chose DIR for our outdoor porch and are so pleased with the end result. Moreover, as paint jobs are always a bit finicky, they have agreed to pass by next summer to perform small paint touch ups. We will definitely ask them to take on other projects we are considering in our old home...
