Featured Reviews for New & Custom Home Builders in Ottawa

Maple Leaf Custom Homes
New & Custom Home Builders in Ottawa
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsOctober 8, 2013
“Honest, caring, and professional home builder. The entire team does whatever it takes to make sure the customer is always happy and comfortable throughout the entire design / construction process, and they treat every home like it's their own.”

“Had a custom home built from this company in Bourget, Ontario, Canada. Great and friendly staff that is always willing to listen to your ideas. Great craftmanship.”
Kairon Homes
New & Custom Home Builders in Ottawa
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsJuly 19, 2022
“Our journey of building a house is not a easy one. We are grateful to have Kairon Homes by our side. Nav is very good at handling “our troubles”. We want to use some contractors of our own choice. He made it happen. Thinking back, we are not sure using our own guys are the best ideas. He was the I charge of the quotes verifying, making sure we are getting competitive quotes. All the quotes are transparent. He also smoothies out tasks between contractors. He enjoys what he does. Tasks he need to handle would be like a huge headache for me, he takes them with ease, professional and competence.”
HN Homes
New & Custom Home Builders in Ottawa
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsApril 4, 2016
“Good service from start to finish, striving to meet expectations at most times. Finished quality is extremely high and details are frequently well thought out. Responsive to communication rather promptly and stayed in touch throughout the process keeping us in the loop as far as details on progress as expected.”
The Conscious Builder Inc.
New & Custom Home Builders in Ottawa
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsAugust 29, 2013
“Casey was one of three contractors that I interviewed and received quotes from about installing a large window in a walkout basement. My house is a large bungalow and could have been stressed by the 4' X 8' window cut out through the foundation. He was the only one that felt a steel support beam would be necessary for structural security. He was the only one that presented a formal contract and description of the work necessary even though all contractors came highly recommended by the Renovate magazine and BBB. He was always available to answer questions and explain the renovation. He consulted an engineer and got city permits before commencing with the work. His work was done in a timely manner and within budget. His people did an excellent job matching the soldiering with another window already previously installed during the original construction so that there is a uniformity of presentation. I have recommended him to my friends and do not hesitate to recommend him highly now. If I decide to have more renovations done on my home Cornelis Construction will be the first business I call. I have photos available but don't know how to include them.”
Dharma Developments
New & Custom Home Builders in Ottawa
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsOctober 25, 2018
“In August 2017, we met with the owner of Dharma Developments. We were extremely stressed out and worried after purchasing a 1950s house. We purchased the house from the original owner and the house needed a full renovation. The best decision we made was hiring Dharma Developments for the entire reno. We had a very tight budget to work with and renovating the house from top to bottom was a must, everything had to go, down to the studs. They took the time to meet with us and right away, they put our minds at ease. They put a plan together, assessed the work, provided estimates and recommended that we hire a designer to draft a plan for the house to help us with all the modifications. We basically knew how much everything was going to cost prior to the start of the project. Dharma made it extremely effortless on us. They brought in Engineers to assess modifications to the house, applied for permits, hired the best trades to do the work, ordered all the materials at the right time. It was so impressive to see how everything came together. The renovations started in September 2017 and we moved in to our newly renovated home in December 2017 before Christmas. Due to the planning and organization that was done by Dharma Developments prior to the start of the renovation, the project was not only completed on time but also within budget. We couldn’t be happier. The quality of their work, their professionalism and the relationship with their clients is what makes this company great to work with. I speak so highly of this company and recommend them to anyone who is planning a big or small renovation, they will not disappoint!”

“We love our custom Corvinelli home. Excellent attention to detail and craftsmanship. It was ready on the initial closing date as planned, with no surprises.”
Twenty-Twenty Inc.
New & Custom Home Builders in Ottawa
Average rating: 4 out of 5 starsOctober 18, 2016
“Before the project started we reviewed 8 contracting companies. 20/20 presented a detailed work outline and cost breakdown, and a willingness to work with our architect. Since then the work has proceeded as scheduled with accommodations for extra work. We are pleased with the workmanship, and particularly pleased with Twenty-Twenty's regular crew, and the subtrade workers who have been involved with our addition/renovation. Importantly they clean up at the end of the day.”
Uniform Developments
