Windsor Wolves

This is our second home renovation project with Stuart from Windsor Wolves. We were introduced by a Home Decoration Expert, Shona Fraser in 2020/21. Based on our positive experience during the first project (Kitchen backsplash tiles which were mosaic marble pieces-looked challenging, and work on a fireplace mantle piece), we decided to take the plunge and tackle a bigger project. Our house is an older, custom built cottage-style home with a 45 degree roof structure, up to 3 levels at certain spots. It is situated on uneven ground-basically a big rock, with a bunch of cedar trees around. The North facing cedar plank finished envelope was failing. We decided that while we explore and replace the rot, we would also change the entrance by adding a grand and high (to match the 45 degree high roof) entry way. We also added a lot of natural stone around a third of the house and had the whole two and a half storey chimney and equally high entry way finnished in rock. We basically replaced and upgraded the whole North facing wall of the house. To us it looked daunting. Stuart and his team broke the process down in two steps (2 contracts). Firstly we needed to create a design, draw legal building plans and give a detailed quote, and secondly complete the project. Their input was valuable and the drawing program helped us visualize the end project. We were happy with the design, which blended well with the current design, while enhancing the quality and modernizing the home. The 2 projects took more than a year. We started in July 2022 and by September the design and quote were completed. The city took a while with the permits and the building project lasted from January until November 2023. Because it was the outside of the house, and the project went through all 4 seasons, the workers had to face snow, rain, heat-the works-all on high scaffolding! A shout out to Collin and Damien for doing awesome carpentry and offer creative solutions in tricky situations that always come with a custom renovation-including managing a nest of carpenter ants! The stonework was also excellent. The front stonewall and fence with gate ended up bein All in all- we are happy with the results and get lots of compliments from visitors and neighbours. We recommend Windsor Wolves.g a much bigger project than expected and Windsor Wolves honored their price and commitment. The price was reasonable, the project creep and inevitable cost increase were managed well enough and the end product was of very high quality. Nicely done! With that said, at times the communication was not as clear as we expected and there were lulls in the work flow that might have been avoided-however, we appreciate the domino effect of timing sub contractors and trades.

We refer Windsor Wolves for one reason: Ethical. We have worked with this team for over 3 years helping their projects come to completion. Massive structural issue with an old building were discovered half way through a project. Windsor Wolves dealt with the construction complications getting engineers and corrective approvals ready in record time. Working with Windsor Wolves we have been part of, and witness to excel at client service and next level competency.

I've worked alongside many contractors and Windsor Wolves are in the top tier for professionalism and quality of work.

Great experience working with Stuart and team at Windsor Wolves. Their expert renovations turned our first home into our dream home, and we’re incredibly happy with their work!

Stuart and his team of trades worked on two projects for me, first in 2019, the completion of a partially finished 2-BR laneway house. In 2022, it was a long overdue renovation of a 4-BR house built in the 50’s. For both projects, Stuart was always professional, prompt, articulate, and kept us well informed of next steps, mindful of our scope and budget. He has plenty of hands-on experience, and is well-versed in the trades lingo and requirements. He was always open to our concerns, and worked collaboratively with our decision making. I would LOVE to work with Stuart again on any future project!

Stuart and his team are phenomenal to work with. They hold themselves to the highest standard of the industry. I look forward to a long working relationship with the Windsor Wolves team!

We recently completed a major renovation of our condo. Our first impression of Stuart and his team was very positive at our initial meeting and we were happy with the professionalism, responsiveness, workmanship and good communication throughout the project. Although most of the trades were excellent, especially the custom millwork, the tilers, carpenter and electrician, when we had an issue with the quality of the work of one of the painters, Stuart immediately contacted them and arranged to have the company redo the work with a new painter and we were happy with the final result looking great (at no extra cost to us) The process was easy from start to finish and we really love the final result. It was a total transformation of our dated 20 year condo. We would highly recommend Windsor Wolves.

Stuart of Windsor Wolves was wonderful in meeting our renovation and repair needs to make a 65 year old house livable. The work involved new perimeter drainage system and foundation waterproofing, new fencing and water proof wood retaining walls, new gutters and landscaping, structural repairs in attic and chimney, upgrades in electrical and plumbing, drywall repairs and painting. Stuart was professional and meticulous in keeping taps on expenses and budgets, coordinating the many trades involved, and keeping us informed of work progress. He had great ideas on repair options that kept costs down. Highly recommend him and Windsor Wolves for any renovation projects.

Organized and professional. Great communication from beginning to end on all projects. Stu is a champion of accountability and supporting his community.
