Centrix Building Group

We purchased a property on the Grand River in Centre Wellington and were fortunate enough to entrust Seth Wyga and the Centrix Building Group team to build us a custom home. Seth played a key role in this project from day one. While reviewing the preliminary drawings, he was instrumental in making suggestions that improved the final layout/design and provided us with cost saving recommendations. The entire build took 10 months - the time frame that was communicated from the start. Despite building during the Covid pandemic and with building supplies rising sharply, Seth did everything possible to keep us on budget and informed of every and all prices changes from the original estimate. In the end we went over budget but the vast majority of the overage was due to decisions and choices that we made mid-build. We found Seth to be very personable, responsive and a great communicator throughout the build. He also surrounded himself with great sub-trades ... all of which we found to be professional, skilled at what they did and available to answer our many questions. It was a pleasure dealing with all of them. In addition, Seth personally put us in-touch with a number of great companies that contributed to the home we love today … cabinet makers, in-home designer, landscaper and appliance sales. Without a doubt we would highly recommend Seth and Centrix to anyone that was contemplating building or renovating their home. Mike & Tamara

We undertook a significant renovation of an 1880s historic house with Seth Wyga and Centrix, which included underpinning the existing house with a proper foundation and basement (the original foundation was rubble), and building a two-story addition at the back of the house. Working with Seth and Centrix was an excellent experience, and we give them our highest-possible recommendation. Centrix and Seth have the technical skills, knowledge and experience to undertake such a major renovation. Equally important, is that Seth is an excellent communicator. He always ensured that we understood clearly every step of the process and the build. He also made sure that he understood us: our questions, our concerns, and our vision for the project. It was very much a collaborative process, and the quality of Seth's insight and input ensured that everything unfolded in the best possible way. Working with Seth was like working with a trusted friend. All of the Centrix staff, as well as the trades and sub-trades, who worked on the site were professional and cared about the integrity of our house. The quality of workmanship was exceptional. The project budget provided to us before the actual work began was realistic, and adhered to during the build. The monthly invoicing was clear, and showed how the project was progressing with respect to the budget. We would happily work with Seth and Centrix again, and have already recommended them to friends and family.

Centrix did a reno of our kitchen and built some outdoor decks for us. The pandemic was called about halfway through. They were very patient while we decided how to approach the situation and managed to finish the job in a safe manner. Always professional and thoughtful in their approach. We are so pleased with the result, both inside and out. Work completed on time, no surprises and outstanding quality work. Would recommend them to anyone. Renee Beland

We bought an unfinished new-build, and hired Centrix to complete the job. We were living a flight away, and hired Centrix because we had friends who had worked with them before and were very happy. On time. On budget. Amazing communication. Exceeded our expectations. Living a flight away while doing a reno, we felt that our house was in great hands. Seth listened well, was always transparent, clear, available and reliable. He was a superb person lead on the project. Matt Tacoma was our site manager and we couldn't have been happier with his work. He is thorough, responsive, respectful and meticulous. We would not hesitate in recommending Centrix, and would use them again. We've worked with several contractors and builders before, and this was our best experience.

I can't say enough about Ian and Cheryl. They made this project possible! I cam to Ian in June with the idea of creating a dance studio however I told him that it had to be completed by the end of August 2019. He assured me that 90% of it would be complete and would be ready for our Grand Opening. I have to say that not only was the project completed on time but I would say more like 95% of the project was complete!!! I couldn't have done this without Ian and Cheryl and their team at Centrix. On behalf of, Bloom Dance Company, we want to Thank You for making this adventure possible and going above and beyond. We wish you all the best!!

Centrix did a major renovation of our 1850's century home. We were very happy with the company, and would recommend them without hesitation. Seth was an excellent communicator, and was very down to earth and easy to work with. He helped tweak our design and had great ideas with respect to aesthetics/function etc. He was there every step of the way to help us make the many decisions we needed to make. At the beginning of the project he shared the budget with us and he was great in keeping us on budget. e.g. you are getting a more expensive door, but you saved on windows, so you are OK. He was also great at telling us where we'd be smart to spend a little extra, and where we would be better to save. We did end up going over budget, but that was entirely because we change our minds on a few design elements that weren't initially planned for - and we did this with full information on the impact it would have on the bottom line. Had it not been for our change in plans, we would have been on budget. Otto was our site manager. He as well, was incredibly personable and a pleasure to be around every day. The same can be said for the remainder of the Centrix crew - lovely people who I was happy to have in my home. Our project took 9 months to complete - only a few weeks over the plan. The delay in completion was due to Union Gas being very slow to move a gas meter - something that was out of Centrix' control. The work itself was excellent, with a high degree of attention to detail. Our house was an 1850's stone bungalow. Many of the historic features (baseboards, door casings etc) needed to be replicated. In terms of design, we had a design from another company and took it to Centrix to build. Our original design was improved upon by Seth in the planning phase. If I were to do it all again, I would get Centrix to both design and build. We also did a modern addition, so we got to see both traditional and modern building styles - both of which were done very well. After the renovation was complete, when small things came up (like a door sticking for instance), Seth saw that these things got looked after. All in all, we are very happy customers and would recommend Centrix and Seth, the owner, without reservation.

Our family with young kids (1&3 years old) hired Centrix to build our custom forever home in Guelph and we could not have possibly been more satisfied. In all regards Centrix has truly exceeded our expectations and I would have no hesitation recommending them to others. They were professional, on time, reliable, honest, knowledgeable, friendly, flexible, dedicated and the final product is such high quality and the amazing craftsmanship shows. They worked diligently every day from planning, through demolition until we moved in and are still available for us if we need them. They were responsive with communications, transparent with financial information and kept us informed throughout the entire process. We absolutely love our new house and genuinely enjoyed the process of working with Centrix to get here. I’m happy to answer further questions for new potential customers anytime.

We were so pleased with the care and the attention we received from Seth Wiga and Otto Wiga and all their fabulous crew when we gutted and renovated our commercial building in Ayr. Their attention to detail was exceptional and they were always at the ready to hold our hand and take us through all the necessary steps to complete the project. Thank you to all involved, we appreciate it. We would highly, and without hesitation, recommend Centrix Building Group to anyone who asks! Well done.

We had a fantastic experience with Jim et al. at the Centrix Building group. Everyone who came to our home was professional and courteous. Jim answered all of our questions within a day and had solutions for us if a problem arose. He kept us up-to-date on the progress and made the entire renovation an easy process that was easy to understand. We enjoyed working with the team so much that we had them back for a very small project shortly after our main reno was completed. I would highly recommend this company to anyone who is looking for a company that is professional, respectful, and knowledgeable.

I couldn’t be happier with Centrix! Right from the beginning, Seth (the owner) was there with amazing ideas! He is not your average contractor - he is really interested in the design element and gave us amazing ideas that we implemented. Our project lasted just over 4 months and every day was enjoyable. Seth and Jeff (our site super) were there every step of the way to resolve issues, make suggestions and keep the ball rolling. Jeff was excellent along with all the other Centrix staff and their trades. Our project finished on time and on budget. The job was priced accurately at the start so there were no surprises along the way. The quality and craftsmanship exceeded our expectations!! Now that our house is complete it makes me smile every day. I absolutely love it and I don’t think our dreams could have become a reality without Centrix!! THANK YOU!!!

Seth, Jim and the team at Centrix were incredible to work with. They worked seamlessly with our architect, contributed great design and logistical input, were up-front and open right from the start about where every dollar from a project would be going and delivered the entire project on time. Regular site visits, an extremely thorough and competent site supervisor (Kyle) who always had our interests at heart and timely communication from the management team were all part and parcel with their great service. We are very happy with our new home and would highly recommend Centrix to anyone looking to do any renovations or a complete new build.

My husband and I were very pleased with the entire project, which lasted about two months, and would strongly recommend Centrix. Everyone on the team was very professional, well organized, skilled, helpful with suggestions, and really easy going and accommodating. Every stage of the project was done on time. And the quality of the service was extremely high. This is an amazing group of people and pleasure to work with. Thank you!

My experience with Centrix Group has been TRULY EXCEPTIONAL! I'm a cafe & building owner in Guelph, and I've been hiring trades for over 12 years. Ian O'Keefe and his team totally are the best! The 300 grand project was to lower/finish the basement, install a commercial kitchen & new hvac system, and redo the cafe's back room. Ian is extremely organized, efficient, creative, on budget, and thoughtful. Come by Red Brick on Douglas if you'd like to see the results.

We worked with Seth and his team, Centrix Building Group, for several upgrades to our 30+ year old home. We really appreciated Seth's advice regarding the best way to approach the renovations and found him to be very patient and respectful in guiding us through the process. In addition, the members of Seth's team were very professional, and were very mindful of trying to keep disruption and mess to a minimum. Ultimately, our renovations were completed within the proposed timeline, within a very reasonable margin of the original budget, and with the small inevitable disruptions handled efficiently. Furthermore, in the months since the work was completed, we have been very pleased with the function and appearance of all areas that underwent changes. We wouldn't hesitate to work with Seth and Centrix Building Group again, and would most definitely recommend their services.

Centrix Building Group provided an excellent level of service and professionalism. We hired the group to perform renovations on our home. After contacting Seth in late Spring, my hope was to have the project done by the fall of 2016. To my surprise and delight, everything was done much faster than expected and they were done by the end of July. The quality of workmanship was very good. I would absolutely work with them again and recommend them highly. One area to consider is that some work does rely on subcontractors (eg. painting, electrical, eavestroughs) and they did not always have the same high standards as the core Centrix Group.

Quality craftsmanship and attention to detail are both exemplified in everything that Seth and his team do at Centrix. Seth was given complete creative control on our project and delivered a pool house that was better than we could have imagined. The project came in on time and on budget which was much appreciated. His attention to detail, transparency and constant communication helped the entire process from design to construction run smoothly. We would have no hesitation recommending Seth and Centrix for any size project. Thanks again!!

Centrix built our "forever home" in downtown Guelph. Our project included a tear-down of an existing house, excavation and a complete custom build. We could not have been happier with the process and the final product. As a product manager, Seth demonstrated clear communication and was able to guide us through the overwhelming process. He also understood our vision and was able to provide excellent design ideas. His team and his sub-trades were all respectful and a pleasure to work with. Not only is our house exactly what we asked for, our entire project came in on time and under budget (the highest praise that we can think of).

Centrix helped us renovate a house we had recently purchased and have since moved in to. They partnered with us from start to finish through planning, estimating, design, material choice and execution of the work and saw it all through to completion. Notably, they were transparent about the work, timing and billing, they were selective about who they subcontracted out to, and overall they were very easy to work with. I think we have a pretty great house now and am very pleased with the end result. I’m very glad we chose Centrix to do the work and would definitely recommend them to others.

I can only say truly wonderful things about our experience working with Centrix. The project moved along on schedule and on budget, with someone working on my house every single day. Seth Wyga is extremely knowledgeable, professional and personable, as was our site manager. Seth guided us through the entire process, thinking of questions and potential issues so we never needed to worry that we might make a wrong decision. And as a result, we are absolutely thrilled with our renovation! We do not have a single regret about any of the choices we made, and that is because of the people at Centrix and the excellent work that they and the contractors all did. I highly, highly recommend this company.

Centrix Building Group were absolutely superb to work with. Right from the beginning planning stages, through to completion Seth and Otto took ownership of the building of our home like it was their own. We were extremely pleased with the quality of their workmanship and particularly their attention to detail. They have our highest recommendation.

As a design professional, I work with a variety of contractors and trades on a daily basis. So when it comes to working on our century house, I know what I'm looking for in a construction team. I have been pleased to work over the past two years with Centrix on a number of small to medium sized projects in our home. I ask my contractor to collaborate, communicate and execute a renovation that will be practical, economical and outstanding in design and detailing. We are so pleased with the amazing trades that Centrix chooses to work with – fabulous plumbers, electricians, and tile artists, as well as their own craftsmen for trim and carpentry. Thank you!

We worked with Seth Wyga of Centrix Building Group on an extensive home renovation. This was a very positive experience and we have already recommended this builder to several friends and family. Our relationship with Centrix began prior to purchasing the home, which Seth reviewed together with us to help make decisions regarding project scope and budget. Beyond just building our house, Seth collaborated with our architect and kitchen design staff. He was instrumental in several of the creative design features of our house, both envisioning them and bringing them to fruition. He oversaw the project through every stage of demolition and renovation. Throughout the project, we benefitted from his integrity and transparency. He has advocated for us where necessary and has not compromised on his standards of excellence.

Professional company, high quality work with excellent customer service. Have been working with this company for years, from little jobs to large full scale projects. Very accurate when quoting, and can be trusted to be fair and honest. Quick to respond to any concerns and always willing to make it right.

I have worked with Centrix Building Group since 2012 and every project (six to date) I have collaborated on with them has been a great experience for both myself and my clients. They develop very detailed estimates of work and are mindful of their client's needs and budget. All work has been done in a timely fashion and to a very high standard with a transparency that allows both myself and my clients to both understand and develop cost and design options for their project. The projects that I have worked on with them range in cost from $80K-$2.5M and Centrix is able to meet the needs of these projects of varied sizes and costing with the same level of professionalism. I highly recommend Centrix to all of my clients. Kevin Crozier, B. Arch. Crozier Designs Inc.
