Leonel, Eric and Julien provided exceptional service and expertise in the work they did in my home. Leonel's visit to my home and subsequent quote were made in a timely manner. The work started and ended perfectly on time and on budget. I was completely happy with the work of all three men, who were friendly and professional in their dealings with me. I recommend Archwood Construction to anyone and will pass the good word on to all of my contacts.

From the very first phone call to developing a design and coming up with a accurate estimate to fit our budget it was a pleasure to work with Leonel and his crew. His crew were always on time and worked quietly and neatly during time it took to complete the project. No detail was left unfinished and Leonel followed up with a phone call to be sure of our complete satisfaction. We are extremely happy with the outcome and would highly recommend Archwood Construction to anyone considering a home renovation.

My Experience With Archwood Construction
This Spring I contacted Archwood Construction for the renovation of a wooden porch at my house in the Glebe (Ottawa).
It was not my first attempt to get someone interested on the job, but this time, the tone of Lynn at the other end of the line, reassured me right away.
Leonel, Mr. Lima, came on time for the assessment and emailed an estimate promptly. Once we agreed to proceed the work was done without delay, and it was done well.
My experience with Archwood Construction was very positive, both in terms of the quality of the work done, but also regarding the utter professionalism, attention to detail, and winning attitude of the whole crew.
This is a small, family-based company with outstanding standards.
Full recommendation.

Archwood Construction has always delivered first rate work at our home. We have had 3 successful projects completed by Leonel Lima and his company. The latest was a total make over of the main bathroom of our circa 1957 home. One of the best things about this contractor is that no matter how different or out of the box you want your design Leonel is there to make it happen. Our bathroom project was started on time and finished exactly when as promised and spot on budget. Not only did the new bathroom design exceed my expectations the suggested finishing touches were the best choices based on my completed project vision and safety needs. Daily clean up of the project site, respect for your living space and a team of courteous trades people are always the Archwood way.
We are very happy with the services that the Archwood team provided for us. The y were extremely responsive, dedicated and thorough. Our 80’s kitchen was in desperate need of a makeover and this spring we contracted Archwood Construction to do the job. We did our homework before embarking on this project and the decision was clear after interviewing several well respected local construction companies; Leonel was extremely responsive, the most thorough in determining the overall scope and was our choice – hands down.
The Archwood team was A-one from the get go. Julien who lead the on-site team, is a talented carpenter and we enjoyed his pleasant demeanor and his musical talents. From demo, design advice and construction, Leonel and the team completed each and every step as promised and were not only on time and within our budget, but also ensured that whenever we had a decision to make, we were engaged and thoroughly aware.
We are so pleased with the end product and now have a functional and beautiful kitchen. We couldn’t be happier
We are beyond greatful to have had this top-notch company Archwood Construction come to our farm and build our indoor riding arena. We were very impressed with the team (Julien, Jake and Thomas). Their hard work ethic, great personalities and dedication to this job will forever be appreciated. This is our dream come true and is built with precision and detail that will not go unnoticed. Following the construction of our horse riding arena we approached Archwood about building our hay storage shed. A fantastic job once again with this company! Thank you Leonel, Lynn and the Archwood Construction crew for everything you do. You truly are perfectionists at your job big or small!
We recently completed major renovations to our kitchen, bath and laundry rooms. We were extremely pleased with our selection of Archwood Construction as our contractor for the project. Leonel and his team did an exceptional job on every aspect of the work. They were on time, on budget, and professional throughout. Drop sheets, dust barriers, end of day cleanup were just a part of the reason it was so easy to have them work in our home. They kept us informed throughout, and they seemed to enjoy their work, and working with each other – which made for a very pleasant experience. Leonel also made excellent recommendations on some aspects of the project – his experience was clearly displayed. We will continue to recommend Archwood to friends and family for any renovation projects, and look forward to working with them again in the future.
Leonel and his team did a great job to the exterior and interior of my 1950s bungalow. They reused materials on the exterior and matched paint colours perfectly on the interior. Leonel always makes great suggestions when it comes to improving the look of my home. His team makes sure any debris is cleaned up. It is always a pleasure to work with Archwood Construction.
Every job has been professionally managed, with friendly service and meticulous work. Archwood Construction is reliable, on-time and on-budget, and cleaned up thoroughly after each day of the job. Lastly, Leonel dealt promptly with any concerns raised by us, to me a very important aspect in any project.
Leonel, the owner. is a perfectionist and it shows. I will not hesitate to contact him again for future projects I may plan in our home.
The Archwood team was professional and friendly. They were as least obtrusive as possible and cleaned up well toward the end of the day. We however had a few hiccups with the design; the updated design images were delayed and didn't give complete measurements so there were some unknowns when our cabinet maker began. Overall, I would recommend Archwood but bear in mind that they are pricey!
When designing furniture/cabinets there are often minor hiccups and fine tuning to be had given that it is a custom project. In normal circumstances Archwood Construction is responsible for the design as well as the build of the custom cabinetry for the client. However, in this particular instance the client hired Archwood for the renovation of the space, where the cabinet was to be installed, as well as for our design services. The actual build of the cabinet was completed by one of the client's relatives who is a cabinet maker. We did encounter some timing issues with the drawings and measurements, but these were quickly rectified with the designer/client and the project moved along nicely. Our team worked hard on this project, as with all of our projects, and are very proud of the end results! In terms of the cost we stand by our pricing as it reflects the quality of our work as well as our professionalism.
