Every time the trade invoice came above the original estimation we were consulted, and no decision was made without our sign off. The timeline they gave us was very accurate and work was finished with only a month delay. They have multiple trades, in one case when we were not happy with the trade they switched the trade and redid the work with no additional cost to us. Overall, we are quite happy with how our renovation was done and recommend them for their quality work.

Home RebornGeneral Contractors, Home BuildersTypical Job Cost: CAD 0 - CAD 1,000,000
Our reviews say it all (take a look)! We are a nimble, focused and efficient 'one-project-at-a-time' design/build and general contracting firm in the Toronto area. We are small, and that's our key advantage. Larger builders run multiple projects simultaneously, shifting crews and trades from jobsite to jobsite - which keeps THEM busy, but inevitably results in delays, inattention and neglect for YOUR project. So many builders get partway done and then get distracted by the next big project, so yours drags on and on. Not with us! Our single-project focus ensures that YOU are the top priority throughout the course of your renovation. We don't move on to other jobs until your project is 100% complete. We always finish what we start, on time and on budget! We also provide complete design, architectural, permitting and construction services, as required.
We had a wonderful experience working with John on our total home renovation and would highly recommend him. He completely transformed our home in just four months, taking on a major renovation that included reconfiguring the layout, installing all new windows, replacing the flooring throughout, renovating all of the washrooms, and creating a beautiful new kitchen. John also expertly managed all of the electrical and plumbing updates, including the replacement of old lead pipes, and knob and tube wiring, which gave us great peace of mind throughout the process. What impressed us most was his meticulous attention to detail and the beautiful quality of his craftsmanship. Every finish was completed to a high standard, and the final result truly exceeded our expectations. John is incredibly knowledgeable, trustworthy, and dependable. He was always on site, worked extremely hard, and never missed a day. He ensured everything stayed on schedule and was completed on time. Just as importantly, every subcontractor John brought into the project was equally professional, dependable, and trustworthy. He managed the entire renovation seamlessly, coordinating all aspects of the work and making what could have been a stressful process feel smooth and well organized. We are so happy with the outcome and would not hesitate to recommend John to anyone looking for a builder who delivers outstanding quality and truly cares about his work. We feel very grateful to have worked with John, no one could have done this project as quickly as he did. We now have our dream home thanks to John!

We have also been featured on HGTV with Leave it to Bryan and will be featured on BRYAN INC
We cannot say enough about our positive experience working with Domilya on our home renovation. Our project involved adding an 8 × 10-foot addition to three levels of our home, creating a basement storage area, an open-concept family room with a new deck, and an upper-level ensuite bathroom, walk-in closet, and spacious balcony off our primary bedroom. From the very beginning, the process was well organized and collaborative. Domilya has an excellent team of designers and builders who carefully reviewed our space, listened to our goals, and offered thoughtful recommendations to help bring our vision to life. We were invited to their showroom to select finishes such as tile, hardware, and fixtures, which made the design process enjoyable and stress-free. Rather than spending countless hours visiting multiple suppliers, everything was conveniently available in one place. Their selections reflected the inspiration photos we shared and perfectly captured the style we were hoping to achieve. The construction team was hardworking, professional, and incredibly dedicated. They consistently worked full days—and often longer—to keep the project on schedule. They even worked over the weekend to ensure our roof was completed before severe weather arrived. Throughout the renovation, they kept us informed, presented upgrade options when appropriate, and made sure every decision aligned with our goals. Everyone on the team was friendly, knowledgeable, and approachable. They took the time to answer our questions clearly and made us feel comfortable throughout the entire process. One aspect that especially impressed us was their attention to cleanliness. They carefully sealed off work areas with plastic barriers, including zippered dust walls, which kept dust to a minimum and allowed us to continue living comfortably in our home during the renovation. Their respect for our space was truly appreciated. We have received countless compliments on the finished project, especially our new balcony. Several neighbours have even stopped to ask who completed the work and whether Domilya could build something similar for them. We are absolutely thrilled with the results and would not hesitate to recommend Domilya to anyone considering a home renovation. Their craftsmanship, professionalism, attention to detail, and commitment to customer satisfaction exceeded our expectations. You would be fortunate to have them as your renovation team.

Wanda Ely Architect Inc.Architects, Home BuildersTypical Job Cost: CAD 600,000 - CAD 1,500,000
WANDA ELY ARCHITECT INC. is a Toronto-based architecture design practice, specializing in contemporary, inspired, and thoughtfully detailed residential projects. Wanda graduated from Waterloo School of Architecture in 1998. After working for a number of award-winning firms on several commercial, hospitality, retail and residential projects, she launched Wanda Ely Architect Inc. in 2011. Her projects to date, which have been featured in Chatelaine, Toronto Life and DesignLines, set the tone for a practice dedicated to the beauty of contemporary architecture. Each project begins as a thoughtful search to understand the desires of the client and to identify and draw out the meaningful qualities of the environment, which together form the inspiration for the design. From initial inspiration to the detailed crafting of space, the work of the practice depends on a careful mediation of aesthetics and function, with the aim to transcend both. The firm’s motivation is to create buildings and spaces that bring delight to the lives of those who use and occupy them. Wanda’s interests lie in both the private and public realms. She has established herself as a professional known for her integrity in both design service and client relations.
We have had the privilege of working with Wanda twice. Both pre-construction condo projects, combining two units, designing our home from scratch. Our experience with the first project 10 years earlier made working with her again a no-brainer when we were ready to move. To our surprise, she happened to already have a business relationship with the builder which made the complex, 2 plus year period, that much easier to navigate. There are so many intricate details that go into designing a home and working with all the players involved in condo developments. Wanda took the lead on all of this advocating for us throughout. She took a deep dive into our wants, needs and preferences leveraging them in the design of every room in our home from the layout of the pantry, to the coffee nook, to the jewelled lighting in the bedroom. Projects like these feel like a leap of faith for a client which can be stressful, unless you have the benefit of a knowledgeable professional with a proven track record that you can trust implicitly. Our new home is so beautiful we have zero desire to ever move again, but if we did, we wouldn’t consider a project like this, unless Wanda could take it on. I have to add, her team, Victoria and Jade, are an extension of her. Consistent, detail oriented, creative and always a pleasure to deal with. Working with them for the past two years, they have all become the friends we will miss connecting with weekly.

M-Squared Contracting is a full service Toronto based general contractor specializing in major residential renovations and complete design-build services. Founded by Mike Lawrance in 2009, M-Squared has built award-winning custom homes in neighbourhoods throughout Toronto and the GTA. Mike is an industry professional who is often called upon to share his expertise in the media, including TV appearances on Cityline & Property Brothers. M-Squared Contracting makes the construction process seamless & straightforward from beginning to end. Mike has curated and mentored his team to include highly qualified project managers, master tradesmen, sub-trades and support staff who work together to bring their projects to life, with a commitment to excellence at every step.
If asked to summarize our renovation project, we would characterize it as a stress free full house remodel plus addition project that finished on budget and ahead of schedule. Not words that usually characterize a construction project but that was certainly our experience with M-Squared Contracting. From the initial discussions surrounding our project, to the execution and completion (2 weeks ahead of schedule!), we could not have asked for a more seamless process. Mike and his team worked with our designer to transform our 1973 dark, compartmentalized family house into a bright, modern home. With busy work and family schedules, my husband and I had 3 goals for this project: 1) completed on time 2) stay within budget; and 3) the final product met our family’s living needs. Mike came highly recommended to us by two of our friends and after meeting with him and other contractors, it was clear he was going to be able to deliver on our 3 objectives. Throughout the project, Mike and the team demonstrated their professional project planning skills with every aspect of our project to ensure key decisions and purchases were made ahead of time. The end result was a successful project finished ahead of schedule. On a weekly basis, we would receive detailed and itemized invoices and supporting receipts for the amounts spent so we could compare total spend to our budgeted costs. This was definitely helpful and appreciated. Material prices increased significantly between the planning and execution phases. Mike and his team were extremely helpful providing suggestions of alternatives that met our budget and design tastes. M-Squared has developed strong relationships with their team and vendors who are focused on quality work. The craftsmanship and attention to detail was impressive, as was the clean jobsite at the end of every day. We have subsequently referred M-Squared to our other friends who will be commencing their project in the new year. We cannot thank Mike, Fitz and the M-Squared team enough for turning our house into our forever home
