SCOTTRYAN Design Build

Decided to do a kicthen reno and went with Scottryan Design build. Had a great experience, great design suggestions and implementation was awesome! As the kitchen came together we added scope to add a pantry as well as some work in the laundry room which they were able to accomodate. The entire project went smoothe and everyone involved were great to work with and made it as easy as possible to live through it. A great team and a great experience, I would highly recommend and would use them again for sure on my next project. Loving the function and look of my new kitchen!

SCOTTRYAN Design Build was recommended by the custom kitchen design company we hired to design our new kitchen. We initially met with Ryan to discuss the project, which involved removal of two walls, relocation of plumbing, heating, and electrical, as well as installation of new flooring, countertop, backsplash, appliances and new ceiling insulation. We immediately felt comfortable with Ryan, and were very pleased with the quick turnaround on receiving a very detailed quote. Ryan assured us that they would be hands on managing the project and all the sub-trades from start to finish, and they did not disappoint. Once the work commenced, Scott became involved, and we were equally impressed with his professionalism, responsiveness, transparency and attention to detail. Although the renovation was disruptive, they made it as stress free as possible. All of our questions were answered promptly and respectfully, and if something needed a closer look or a refinement, it was dealt with same day. Their level of communication was amazing and the work and the tradesmen doing the work were top-notch. We do not have one complaint about anything, and the project came in under budget! We couldn't be happier with the experience and the end result. There is not one thing I would change in my new kitchen. It is truly beautiful and we would very highly recommend SCOTTRYAN.

ScottRyan were courteous, professional, on-time and communicative. The work carried out was of high quality, including a newly built garage, small gym, garden fence, metal work and stucco work. Billing was transparent and clear. Extra items (at my request!) were handled in a timely and competent manner.

love these guys! client for life! from conception to completion we've had only the very best experience working with scottryan design build. really appreciate their no-nonsense approach and the strong work ethic / expertise. throughout the entire process of our home reno we could always rely on them to keep us up to date on process and help us navigate through the seemingly thousands of decisions along the way, while keeping an eye on the budget. we are absolutely thrilled with final result and the quality and craftsmanship that went into every detail. now that our reno has come to a close they still stay in touch and we consider them more than contractors but friends. we know we can always turn to them for any questions and they will be there to respond and over a way to help. it's absolutely 100% true what they say "once a client, always a client for life." we would be more than happy to be a reference for these guys and actively recommend them to our friends. just be careful, when you are this good you are always in demand!

Amazing experience working with Scott throughout the entirety of the project. Would not hesitate to recommend SCOTTRYAN Design build. Scott managed to complete our 2nd floor addition and full home renovation on time, and generally on budget (Pandemic, material shortages, and owner upgrades notwithstanding), while other renos in the neighbourhood sat idle. Transparent, upfront, easy to get ahold of, meets their commitments, all the good qualities you look for in a contractor. Beyond satisfied with the end product, and will continue to work with them in the future.

Our experience with ScottRyan Design Build was outstanding from start to finish. Typically the renovation process is described as a year or longer filled with regret, anxiety and frustration. I can honestly say that our experience with Scott&Ryan was the exact opposite. They kept us informed, the project was delivered within 1 -year as promised and on-budget. They are a wonderful team to work with and the trades they use are all 100% honest, hardworking and thorough. Thank you Scott&Ryan for everything! Nadine & Michael Devlin

It was a pleasure to work with Ryan and his team. We were impressed by their professionalism and attention to detail. Ryan's excellent and timely communication ensured all our questions were answered, expectations were met, and there were no surprises along the way. We look forward to working with them again on our next project.

We worked with Scott & Ryan in 2018 for a complete main floor and kitchen renovation. As a testimonial to how happy we were with that job, we asked them to work with us again in 2021 to complete an addition on our home. With all of the challenges created by the pandemic, the work was completed on time and we couldn’t be happier. We are thankful to have such professionals to work with during what can be a stressful event. We highly recommend them and all of the amazing trades they work with that produce such impressive results.

I found ScottRyan on Houzz and contacted them in 2018. Ryan put us in touch with an architect to provide drawings for a covered porch. We received our building permit in Feb 2020 and due to Covid weren’t sure if we could proceed. I contacted Ryan and he completely put us at ease about their company safety protocols. This team is friendly, fun and so professional. Their attention to detail and craftsmanship is one of a kind. From the proposal through the project the budget aspect is clear and concise. At the same time we renovated the living room, kitchen and powder room. As general contractors they manage the skilled trades and have good working relationships with them ensuring the quality of the project meets their high expectations. They also take care of any warranty work. 1 number to call. Once the Reno was underway we became the hosts for a small wedding. ScottRyan was able to stick to the agreed delivery date even with all of the Covid interruptions. The wedding went off without a hitch in our brand new renovated space. A year later and we are thoroughly enjoying all aspects of our Reno. We won’t hesitate to call ScottRyan for our next Reno.

No one else I would ever work with. Have now done two renos with SCOTTRYAN and they truly approach every job with the care and consideration they would their own home. So many great recommendations and the best quality work. Full transparency on billing and stuck very close to the original budget (with the exception of things we added and were made aware of associated costs). Would highly recommend if you can get them!

We settled on SCOTTRYAN Design Build for a family room renovation after positive recommendations from two neighbours who had completed large, entire home projects with them. Despite the challenges of renovating during Covid 19 restrictions / limitations, the experience was very positive. We highly recommend them and their entire crew!! They were reliable, professional, dependable and considerate. Scott did a wonderful job of keeping us informed about the process on a daily basis. Their estimates were fair, transparent & realistic, avoiding budget overruns. We also appreciated the great detail and design ideas Scott incorporated into our room. Quality workmanship and attention to detail was excellent. We LOVE our new family room!! Hopefully we will have the chance to work with them again.

Reliable, honest and extreme attention to detail. Dealing with ScottRyan was a great experience from start to finish. We did a full 2 storey renovation of my child hood home and they completely transformed it to a beautiful new dream home. Their vision from structure and layout to the fine details is at a level on its own. From the initial quote and planning to the very end, we were never left a day without knowing exactly what was being done and without constant accurate communication. They tell you exactly when trades will be there and never leave you wondering what’s happening. The attention to detail is second to none and they will always give you a straight up opinion of how ideas will turn out. Their vision is incredible and our finished product was better than we could have imagined. Our budget projection was very accurate and only went over budget due to changes we made along the way. We would highly recommend ScottRyan to anyone and be confident that you would have the best experience possible.

We requested ScottRyan to provide us a quote on our full home renovation. We love the work we’ve seen from them and although we chose to go with another contractor (due to budget alignment), their communication and professionalism throughout the process was hands down the best.

Covered Porch Project Ryan and Scott were amazing to work with from the very beginning of the project until the very end. They were very quick to answer our inquiry call about our backyard project for a covered porch. They were amazing in helping set up permits and drawings and pointing us in the right direction, plus amazing with great ideas and designs from past experiences. Once the permits were finalized we set a date and the work was completed in a week. They and their crew were amazing, polite, and caring for our neighbours and did they ever run a very clean and organized job site. We enjoyed working with them from start to finish and would recommend them to anyone we know and look forward to using them in future projects. Chris & Dawn

I highly recommend ScottRyan Design Build!! They built us the most stunning pool cabana. They were extremely professional, courteous and easy to work with. They were honest, upfront and committed to our project as if it was being built for themselves. They were on schedule and their trades were very respectful and easy to work with. We would HIGHLY recommend SCOTTRYAN for all your renovations, new projects or anything else you may have on your mind. You cannot go wrong with their amazing team and we can't wait for our next project with them.

I met Ryan of Scott Ryan Design Build through Houzz back in fall 2018. We had sold our house and purchased a bungalow in Oakville that was all original. I interviewed several contractors based on reviews in the industry and settled on Ryan’s company after meeting with him and discussing our plans for the renovation as well as seeing several of his previous projects. To be honest, he came across as a straight shooter which is something I value in this day and age as its sometimes difficult to find in any industry. Ryan worked with us through the entire project helping us with decisions, pointing us in the right direction with respect to Architects, permits as well as expected costs. He made sure we understood the difference between low end, middle ground and high end when deciding on the actual budget for the reno based on our needs and expectations. They finished the project on time, managed our expectations through the entire reno (including our neighbours) and overall made the process a very enjoyable, worry free experience as traumatic as a reno can be sometimes. The quality of the work his team performed was exceptional, I know attention to detail when I see it and his team excels. My wife and I couldn’t be happier with our home, its exactly what we expected thanks to his team of experts. Robertson and Sandra Scott

Hired Scott and team to do a complete renovation on three bathrooms. From scoping the project, to design, build and completion they were an excellent group to work with. They were on time, thorough and delivered a finished project that exceeded expectations. I would not hesitate to use them again in the future.

We hired SCOTTRYAN to complete a full basement renovation and couldn’t be happier with the job they did! Ryan was extremely helpful and informative during the planning process. Both their staff and their trades were friendly and approachable. The finished product was exactly what we were hoping for. We would definitely recommend SCOTTRYAN to friends & family looking to have renovations done.

Renovating the home you care for and love very much can be a challenging and daunting experience. So having a contractor like SCOTTRYAN who cares for your home as much as you do, and is passionate about what they do, makes the process much less stressful and enjoyable. We trusted SCOTTRYAN to renovate our main floor from floor to ceiling, including a new kitchen, some structural alterations, new windows and new staircase and we are thrilled with the outcome. Our main floor looks beautiful and amazing. The work quality, workmanship and attention to detail were excellent. SCOTTRYAN provided guidance, advice, solutions, involved us in the whole process and kept us informed all through the way thereby generating a great customer experience. We have more work to do in our home and will definitely have SCOTTRYAN come back to do it for us. Thank you very much Ryan and Scott.

We used ScottRyan Design Build for our recent kitchen renovation and were very happy with the final product. We took out the old kitchen and opened up the space to the dining room. We found working with Ryan made the reno process much easier - good communication, honest, attention to detail. He checked on the site frequently and was always available to answer any of our questions. He made sure that any issues were resolved quickly and to our satisfaction. Ryan and his team were always courteous, professional, on time and on budget. This was our first home renovation of any kind and we were very pleased with the final product as well as the whole process. We would definitely use them again in the future.

ScottRyan Design was hired initially to complete a few renos (floors, kitchen, painting) to an existing property (approx. 35 years old) with the main focus of opening up the first floor by removing a supporting wall between the kitchen and the living/dining areas. They specifically asked before commencing the project whether a permit was necessary and we said "no". Not too long into the project, we were notified that a permit was necessary which put a halt on all construction. Ryan and his team, took care of the necessary steps to obtain the permit while informing us of progress and what could be done while we await the permit. Even though the project was now delayed, ScottRyan rejigged their other scheduled jobs to accommodate us - not an easy task I'm sure! Throughout the project we added other renos, such as, gutting the bathroom, new windows, new staircase, painting the basement, etc. All these requests and changes were handled in a professional manner, always ensuring we were happy and understood the process. All trades were respectful of our time and space. At the end of each day, someone from ScottRyan, mostly Ryan, would come by the site to check in with the trade and communicate to us the next step. We are extremely pleased with the end result. Quality of work and the interaction with the trades and members of ScottRyan's team was excellent and made this experience less stressful and enjoyable at times. I would highly recommend this company.

My wife and I purchased a home in the Beaches which required some ‘love’. We’d never renovated a house before but with optimism and excitement - we jumped right in. Quick learning curve... Generally what you hear about a renovation you realize to be true. - it costs more than you think - it’s time consuming - can cause frustrations; and more Regardless - we had a renovation floor plan designed and got to work with the ScottRyan team. From the start, our new best friends Scott, Ryan and their team were extremely supporting, transparent and we relied heavily on their expertise. Our estimated time of completion was 4 months. ScottRyan has us in our home in 2.5. Our key learnings. The ScottRyan fleet of employees, partners and contractors provide top quality work. The only hiccups we faced were with our own friends/family we hired (albeit - That’s the only change looking back we would avoid). Communicate often. Scott was always calling with updates, questions and providing clarity. It helped set expectations and we knew exactly what we were getting. Quality makes a HUGE difference. There are things in life you can afford to cheap-out-on. I don’t recommend that for your own home and neither will this team. Our trim, hand sculpted crown moulding, and all the other small details and attention to detail make our home our most favourite place for our growing family. Lastly - after all is said and done, and we look back on our experience... it was the opposite of what you’d expect. - we learned a lot about our home and the renovation process - our daily experience with the reno was positive and we always looked forward to the next phase - we enjoyed being a part of the process; and we owe this to the ScottRyan team. I’m thrilled to write this recco in hopes others can experience what we did. This team is highly professional in a challenging industry, trustworthy and knowledgeable. Thanks boys. Job WELL done.

Working with ScottRyan Design Build was a fantastic experience. Scott and Ryan and all the trades were professional, reliable, accommodating and detail oriented. We felt comfortable because they laid out our project budget from the beginning and were honest with things we would need to do, so there were minimal surprises along the way. They were happy to provide honest advice about ideas, and brought their years of experience to our project. We're thrilled with the result and highly recommend them.

This was our first major renovation and ScottRyan made the entire 6 month experience positive and relatively stress free. We gutted our main floor and basement and we found ScottRyan to be professional throught the process of developing the scope of work and providing frequent communication. The workmanship was excellent and we are extremely pleased with the overall outcome. ScottRyan truly made our vision come to life! Despite a lengthy permit from the Town of Oakville, ScottRyan recovered the time lost and finished our job on schedule. Issues were dealt with quickly and effectively. They will never walk away leaving the customer unsatisifed. We felt comfortable enough to recommend them to friends before our job had ended.

After much research, I decided to use ScottRyan Design Build for our home renovation. Our experience in working with them was an absolute pleasure from start to finish. From the initial meeting with Ryan and the follow up calls thereafter Ryan put us at ease with the project. Start date was scheduled and the reno started right on time!!! We were very impressed with the quality of their work and the knowledge they brought. Ryan and Scott were very professional, efficient and attentive to all of our questions and believe me there were many questions! They provided alternative solutions when and as needed so that we could make an informed decision on what would work best. These guys are great and as far as home renovation projects go this was by far the best experience we’ve had on this large of a scale. Even the billing process was smooth and accommodating. We have no hesitation in recommending the team at ScottRyan and will look forward to future projects. Cheers!

I am the owner of Da Vinci Marble, the tile company that have been working with SCOTTRYAN Design Build for many years. I am working with many builders in this industry, and I can truly recommend them as the highest end construction company. They are very professional, reliable, and detail oriented. They are always meeting the time lines and have trustworthy team of professionals. I recommend SCOTTRYAN Design Build to everyone who is looking for high quality job.

Ryan and Scott were very professional and kept us in the loop at all times about the progress of the renovation.The workmanship was first rate and the few problems we had were quickly addressed.We would hire them again without reservation.They were consistently open and honest about all aspects of the renovation.This was the second time they have worked for us,having also done a complete renovation of our kitchen.We are looking to hire them again next year.

Ryan and Scott were professional, on time and on budget with our project. They were able to come up with creative solutions to small issues, having a plan in place before I even brought issues to their attention. Their trades were courteous and polite and respected our space. We are very happy with the work that SCOTTRYAN Design Build did for us and would recommend them without hesitation.

We hired Scott and Ryan as a result of a good friend’s referral. We selected SCOTTRYAN Design Build after comparing them to two other quotes. We did a detail line by line comparison with all the quotes. We did an 500K+ extension for my in laws along with a huge kitchen. The experience has been positive and the quality of work exceptional. Both Scott and Ryan are responsible and responsive. We are doing our phase II, upstairs, with them this fall. My family, including my father in law (an engineer), would highly recommend them.

ScottRyan was working in harmony with Misani, our Kitchen renovation contractor for six weeks. We live in a large 30 year old condo. building. They stripped it to the bare concrete walls, and ceiling. Ryan managed all aspects of the construction. He was always available on his cellphone to discuss any issues. He looked after reconstructing old doorways into archways, drywalling, electrical installation, plumbing, tiling and painting. Our concierge complimented all of ScottRyan’s employees and subcontractors for their courtesy in working with all the paperwork, elevator and condo. rules. Their timing fitted well with Misani’s cabinitry and granite installation. Their pricing was reasonable. We will be happy to have them redo our bathrooms. Dr Michael White

We are so thrilled with the exceptional kitchen, sitting area and dining room that ScottRyan was able to visualize and bring to life with Misani Kitchens. Their team was professional, attentive, creative and always pleasant to work with. They arrived promptly and cleaned up at the end of their day to ensure that we were able to function as efficiently as possible during the 5 month project. Ryan, Scott, Mike and the rest of their team understand construction, were able to collaborate and adapt as changes were made, were detailed in their billing, and we had no issues turning the house over to their capable hands.

We've used multiple contractors over the years for home renos and we're always disappointed with service or quality. We're grateful to have had ScottRyan this time around!! ScottRyan did a fabulous job finishing our basement and 4 piece bathroom. They were great at communicating plans, schedules and costs every step of the way and they had great ideas and solutions. Ryan was extremely patient and helpful despite my multiple change requests and add-ons! We are very pleased with the service and product we received and highly recommend them.

We had Scott/Ryan finish our unfinished basement. The project scope included putting in a 3 piece bathroom with a glass shower, a 5th bedroom/gym area and an open entertainment space including pre wiring of AV cables. We were quite pleased with how the overall project turned out, the exceptional attention to detail that Scott/Ryan and their team had and the cleanliness while on site. Further, Scott/Ryan communicated and detailed clearly from the onset, the scope of work, timelines along with key milestone dates which was more or less met. The only issue they came up was a certain issue with a sub trade that was out of their control which delayed the project by 1-2 weeks. In addition to the quality of the work itself, Scott/Ryan was great at keeping us in the loop of the decisions that needed to be made by us, the work that was being completed on the day/week and any potential project creep (along with coming to a workable solution for such instances for everyone involved). After dealing with Scott/Ryan and seeing the overall quality of work that they have delivered, I would have no hesitation in using them again for future projects or recommending them to other people.

Ryan, Scott and team were wonderful to work with. The work product was of top quality. The transparency around budget and project status was a welcome change from other experiences. There were never any surprises as any issues were communicated early and dealt with. Attention to detail whether around the work or around budget was excellent. They were on site and involved.

Scott and Ryan have proven time and again their commitment to a quality job and done right the first time. They have the experience and crew to deal with some of the most difficult projects. I hire them for all my projects no matter what the size and highly recommend them.

Scott and Ryan did all round excellent work, providing good advice and completing on time and on budget. The crew was well mannered, respectful of building rules, and never cut corners. Irene Fedorenko

I had the pleasure of working with Scottryan Design Build to renovate my new home in the Annex. I worked exclusively with owner, Scott Towsend, who was extremely professional, true to his word, his quality of work was very detailed, and he worked with the best quality trades. I was especially impressed with Scott as he walked me through the entire process and kept me informed on a daily basis. I would highly recommend Scottryan Design Build, as they are true professionals, and made it a great experience for me.

For reference this was our second project using ScottRyan and the 4th renovation we'd completed in the past 10 years. We first had them in to complete a job that had been poorly handled by our prior contractors. ScottRyan always showed-up when they said they would, got the job done right and fast for the price they had quoted and we got the house listed and sold fast thanks to them. When it came time for us to renovate the new house, in our minds there was only one real option. That said, we had others come in to quote anyway and though some were cheaper and most weren't, ScottRyan's ideas and contacts made them our choice. We had initially intended to do more of a cosmetic job, but between their creative ideas and access to resources, ScottRyan made the case for a more complete and efficient remodel of the whole home. Along the way they were great at keeping trades on-track and in-line, anticipating issues and coming to us with creative and cost-effective solutions, and always being easy to deal with and transparent. Our kids love them too. Looking back I can honestly say that the only thing we regret is not having listened to them about every issue. It is also worth noting that we have since seen friends use them for a project of similar scope which was a huge success, further bolstering our confidence in the team. We will recommend these guys every time: it comes down to having contractors with integrity, experience, and who make a sometimes stressful experience worth the money and effort.

This older home in the heart of the City has wonderful character. Renovating the kitchen space required consultation with engineers and SCOTTRYAN Design Build to maximize the layout and design of custom cabinetry. The knowledge of this team is second to none and creates an easy work environment to complete on time and on budget!

They're terrific. They are smart, on time, on budget, very hands-on and no surprises. They have done several projects for us now, so if I wasn't happy the first time around, they wouldn't have gotten through the door again. They work as part of a team including: client, interior decorators, designers, suppliers and sub trades. I was particularly happy at how they would bring both design and practical solutions to problems or issues as they emerged. Money well invested.

Scott Ryan Design Build did a fantastic job on our bathroom reno. Look forward to using them again for future projects. Would recommend them for sure!

Ryan and his crew were great they came in on time and budget !! I would highly recommend them to my clients as well(I'm a real estate agent)

We hired ScottRyan to renovate our first home when we moved in. They worked with us to find solutions that were within our budget, and stayed true to their proposed costs and timelines. We have been very happy with the results of their renovation, and the overall experience of working with ScottRyan.
