Seaman and Sons Builders

We cannot say enough about the Seaman and Sons Builders. All of the employees were all very helpful and welcoming to be around. The first time we worked with Derek Seaman was during a major home renovation where he and his crew offered amazing suggestions that would make our house one of a kind. Since the renovation was so easy and successful with the Seaman and Sons company we easily decided to use Derek's company for our new build. From the start we were directed to an amazing architect who helped us put all of our many ideas into one beautiful home. Derek's entire crew helped us through the build with all their suggestions and insightful input, we felt so confident and excited about every choice we made. We were especially impressed with Dereks response time to any question we would have, he was always there for us. The detail and care put into our house does not go unnoticed. We would not hesitate to use Seaman and Sons Builders again!

Seaman and Sons Builders just completed a MAJOR renovation at our restaurant, the Walker House, a 165 year old building. We completely removed the dish area, revamped it, attached it to a pre existing washroom (now serving station), widened entrances for better flow, installed new fully accessible washrooms, and added to the existing men's and women's washroom. This job was custom done at its finest. From choosing stalls for the washrooms, trim, flooring, doors, lights, Derek was easily accessible for any questions. Seamlessly, he coordinated with different businesses (electrical, plumbing, gas, flooring, drywall, painting, mason, insulation, heating/cooling) to ensure the job was done well and timely. We required grease traps, dyson dryers, changes to our boiler system, engineer approved drawings in order to be within code for accessibility laws. It is amazing what was required to make this renovation happen. Truly amazing work. The team is skilled! SKILLED!! Carpentry was done quickly and the custom ordered items we had installed put them to the test. Changing plans on a regular basis, their knowledge helped making decisions much easier. Once again, great work!

Derek built a cottage for us in Southampton. He began by demolishing the original building; the demolition was done quickly and with no damage to the surrounding property. He was responsible for getting all permits and minor variations for the new building and did that well ahead of schedule. He then built the new cottage on schedule and on budget. The quality of the workmanship is unbelievable; to this day visitors are astounded by the quality of the work. Derek hires some of the best trades in the business. Their craftsmanship is phenomenal. Derek is a very good communicator, regularly giving updates on progress and letting us know when there were issues to address. Derek knows the local area well so that his suggestions and recommendations fit very well with the community. I highly recommend Derek for any project.

Seaman and Son provided a fabulous service from start to finish. I cannot recommend them highly enough. They were thorough and thoughtful. Communication was excellent. The quality of the work was second to none and the follow up care continues - if we ever have a question or concern about any aspect of the structure, Derek is always happy to help.

As a member of the community of Saugeen Shores --in particular Southampton-- I admire the craftsmanship of the Seaman and Sons Builders. The town of Southampton has a strong history of fishing and cottaging, with many of the homes, cottages, and cute little shops reflecting its rich history. The various building that have been built brand new reflect the state of the art technology in building materials, yet still maintain the charm of the town. My husband and I have not worked on a completed project (yet) with Seaman and Sons Builders; however, we have heard excellent reviews from former customers and have hired their company to do some extensive repairs on a chalet located out-of-town (40minutes away). The owner, Derek, met with us for our first formal consultation at the property and blew us away with his friendly, professional, and honest personality. While investigating what needed to take place to get the final 'look' and repairs done, Derek walked my husband and I throughout the major components that needed to be addressed immediately, in the next 5 years, and in the far off future. We appreciated the personal touch Derek and his company have to offer us and other members of Saugeen Shores, ON and its surrounding area (our chalet is in Colpoys Bay, ON). We don't mind paying a little more for a job when we know we will receive helpful recommendations and quality work that will be finished in a timely manner.

Seaman and Sons built our garage, insulated concrete form on the first story with a wood framed loft above. The workmanship was good, the job was completed when they said it would be, and the final costs were as predicted and close to the estimate. The structure itself was 20x24x15', approximately.

What a Great Builder!!! Had an excellent experience building our house with Seaman and Sons. Derek is very meticulous and really easy to work with. Derek and his crew of skilled carpenters did an amazing job. There level of experience and craftsmenship far exceeded our expectations. If your looking for a high quality builder, Look no further than Seaman and Sons. Best quality in the area.

Derek and his awesome team of tradesmen were amazing to work with. They listened to what I wanted in the house. They helped by explaining things so that I could understand. Their attention to detail and their pride in workmanship is outstanding. I have been in my home for almost 5 years now and have had no problems with installations. We have a partially unfinished basement and will definitely have the remaining portion finished by Season and Sons. I now have a friendship with Derek and his family. They helped my dream home become a reality. I would recommend them without any hesitation at all.

We contracted Seaman and Son builders for demolition of an old home and construction of a new one at the same site. The planning, implementation, and follow up for this project was executed professionally and competently. Pricing was fair and their staff were a pleasure to work with. We recommend this company foursome construction without reservation.

Derek Seaman and all his trades made the whole new home building process a great experience and a lot of fun. He listened to my ideas, offered excellent advice and completed the project on time with no surprises on the budget. He did an excellent job of accurately estimating the costs associated with our project such that at the end the total amount was essentially the same as what was originally predicted except for a few changes we made along the way. I work in the housing industry so I have quite a bit of experience working with contractors. I really appreciated how Seaman and Sons combined the craftsmanship you should expect from a third generation builder with a commitment to the latest energy efficient, high performance technology that is so important in today's world. Derek helped us build a near Zero Energy home that is healthy, safe, amazingly comfortable and promises to be very durable. For example, he helped us source reclaimed brick so the house fits in to an older neighborhood, but also was able to easily achieve the energy efficiency and environmental requirements of the R-2000 program and of the LEED Platinum specification.
