All-In Renovations

I have worked with Jeff throughout the years on a variety of different projects. Each one has been a pleasure to work on and Jeff has been great in coordinating it all to ensure the projects go smoothly. He's been easy to communicate with and has always been on time for any deadlines. I would highly recommend Jeff for your renovation project!

We recently contracted Jeff Shea and his company All-In Renovations to remodel our kitchen. We removed all the old cupboards, appliances, backsplash and flooring. In addition we moved a waterline for the fridge as the fridge was moved approximately ten feet from its original spot. This work involved several different trades. We were extremely pleased to work with Jeff and all of his tradespeople. They were all very pleasant and informative when discussing their piece of the project. The project began on October 29 with a completion date set for December 10. While the project was not quite complete prior to the 10th it was done before Christmas which was our main goal. (It was functionally complete by the 10th, with just a few minor adjustments required for full completion). The only frustrating thing throughout the project was the communication with the cabinet person. Having said this you will see from the pictures below that the work is of the highest quality and at a very reasonable cost. In short we would highly recommend Jeff and his company for any renovation you are considering.

Quality of work 4 stars, tiling and back-splash were good, outline of gloves & sponge?? left on our brand new quartz counter (tiler claims they didn't do it) and grout haze in spots on both floors. Have pictures of all. Tiler entered our home while we were at church on Sunday morning w/o our knowledge (what if we had been in bed!!), did not fix the problem. Ceiling guy did not clean much so Jeff asked if I would for $100, took me a full day. We have never had ceiling repair so were completely unaware that we would not be able to stay in the house for 3 days. Timeliness 3 stars, a number of delays, don't know if that's normal. Confirmed with Jeff that we wanted to use him July 12, no detailed quote until Aug 5, job was done (mostly) Sept 21. Communication 2 stars, not detailed enough for what was being done/not done and caused issues resulting in extra charges. This is where the real trouble begins. Jeff is a nice guy to your face, not so much behind your back when you disagree with the extra cost his tiler wanted to charge. In addition to some other items, he wanted to charge $500 extra for removing the sub-floor. That was included in our contract, so we were not agreeing to it. Tiling to ceiling was not included in contract, Jeff said it wouldn't be that much different when we asked for it. His idea of not much, is different than ours, a quote in writing first should have been done. My husband told him we needed a serious sit down and I have attached screenshots of the texts from Jeff relating to that. He told us to contact his sub to work it out; that is not why I hired a contractor. He also mistakenly sent me a couple of texts that were meant to go to the tiler, about repenting sins and our mental state. I could go on but won't. We came to an agreement on the extras. Would not recommend due to how unprofessional he was and the number of delays. Being nice only works if it's real.

Jeff is a consummate professional. From the beginning he did an excellent job, making sure he understood exactly what we wanted and laying out several options for us to weigh. Despite numerous unforeseen roadblocks in the renovation of our space, he and his team went above and beyond to stick it out with us and ensure the job was completed to our exact specifications. Jeff was always straightforward with us in terms of issues and pricing, kept us constantly informed of where we were in the process and has never hesitated to help us out with little issues that arose after he was finished with the process.

Jeff will be my first choice for any future renovations, commercial or residential.

We first hired Jeff when we ran into problems with our original contractor. Jeff came in, fixed everything that the previous guys had done wrong (or not done at all), and all at a very fair price. Subsequent to that, we had several more projects that we hired Jeff for, including a bathroom reno and several smaller projects.

When we put our house on the market, there were several last minute finishing projects that needed to be completed (that we were somewhat house blind to and hadn't realized needed attention), and Jeff made sure to get these done on extremely short notice, even working well into evenings/weekends just to make sure we had everything ready for sale.

We are so pleased with Jeff. He was on time, listened to what we wanted and we listened to his professional opinion. Very easy to talk to and he used Darryl Hoff who was also very easy to talk to and did a wonderful, clean job on all of our trim. I highly recommend Jeff, we were so pleased with his work he is here right now painting our kitchen cupboards and door casings and replacing our old back splash. We have even discussed some outside work for next summer. With good service, good prices Jeff will be my contractor for any job I need done, no need to go anywhere else.

Jeff was contracted to remove my old fence and build a new one. As well, I wanted to have a few front wooden window frame replaced. His overall quote was very reasonable and the final product was fantastic. As my first contractor for house work, I could not have picked better.

Thank you Jeff.

I decided to renovate my entire first floor which included the living room, dining room and a major renovation to my kitchen. Jeff kept the entire experience with the renovation stress-free. Everyday that I came home, all the work was cleaned up, he kept me well informed and the work he (and his team) did was absolutely amazing. My house is so beautiful and all the extra little touches that Jeff did made it that much better.

I highly recommend Jeff, I can guarantee you won't be disappointed. I'd use him again in a heartbeat.

If you can dream it, All-In Renovations can build it.

I had my living room remodelled by All-In Renovations and it was the best experience I’ve ever had with a contractor.

Jeff Shea from All-In Renovations came round for a consultation and discussed my ideas, looked at the space and the structure and offered valuable advice on how realistic my ideas were.

Jeff explained the potential issues and where additional costs may be incurred once the renovations started and provided a written quote.

When All-In Renovations started the work, all of the trades were courteous, respectful and tidy. Renovations create dust, disturbance and mess, but All-In Renovations mitigated this as far as was reasonably possible and left the house organized and protected each evening when I got home.

Jeff kept me informed of progress and the issues and necessary changes as they arose, providing me a solution in line with my overall vision. All-In Renovations were expertly adaptable to my changes as I saw the work progress and when some additional work was required, because of my modifications, All-In Renovations arranged the sub-trade to fit seamlessly into the timeline.

When the work was completed, Jeff explained all of the work that had been done, the modifications to my original concept with the reasons and the necessary City permits.

I had a particular concept and All-In Renovations allowed me to realize it, but they are also more than happy to offer advice and ideas if want or need them.

The range and quality of trades that All-In has access to is outstanding and the price I was quoted was the price I paid. I couldn’t be more pleased with All-In Renovations.

Jeff Shea is knowledgeable about all aspects of home renovation construction. He has excellent communication skills, is easy to get along with, and is well organized. Jeff is honest, reliable, and punctual. Customer satisfaction is a priority for Jeff.

Written estimates are reasonable and accurate. Jeff ensures a safe, tidy work site at all times, and adheres to safe work practices.

Jeff has done at least five separate projects for us over the years and he completed all of the work on schedule. He did not use assistants for any of his carpentry work. Jeff is a meticulous finishing carpenter and his workmanship is of highest quality. Jeff always strives to use sub-contractors who are dependable and professional, and who share his standards and work ethics.

The attached photo shows an upgraded front entrance in our 1959 home, which Jeff did as part of a larger project. Jeff removed the old layers of flooring, prepped the old, uneven floor, and subbed out the tile work. Jeff also did the trim and door install.

I would recommend Jeff Shea for many reasons. Firstly, Jeff is a great guy!. He's personable, knowledgeable and fun to be around! He was on time and on budget.

Secondly, Jeff is a really good craftsman. In my renovations, Jeff laid slate tiles in the doorway and worked a lot in the kitchen. This included new countertops, new backsplash and new sink and faucets.

Thirdly, Jeff contracted out several other jobs. He did so with ease. He seemed to have infinite connections with many tradespeople. He contacted out an electrician, a plumber, a floor layer, and painters for both the inside and the outside of the house. Jeff also had many ideas for the actual design.

Jeff is the total package! I couldn't be more happy! He made my life easy!

We hired Jeff as our General Contractor and couldn't have asked for a better general. We were away during the first two weeks of our Reno and he was on top of everyone and everything including the millworker that was way behind. He went above and beyond. We will always hire Jeff back. He is an all around great guy, personable, very reliable, great ideas and always wants it done right, has the skills and very honest.

Thank you so much, Jeff!!!

We have used Jeff a number of times because he repeatedly provides excellent service at reasonable costs. He also has access to good sub-trades that he ensures perform at a high level. Jeff takes our (sometimes last minute) scope changes with a grin and a twinkle in his eye. He also has very good design suggestions based on his deep experience. He works with us when we want to pitch in and put our sweat equity into the renovations as well.

Jeff Shea and his crew completed awesome work for us. They were accurate, clean, reliable, knowledgeable, pleasant, everything one could ask for in a contractor! We were thrilled with the final products. They completed a significant renovation of our home.

He utilizes skilled personnel, and has many years of experience. I would highly recommend his company for your renovation - you will most certainly not be disappointed!!
