We recently hired Altrade to help us renovate a large basement family room which had been seriously neglected. Following our first contact with Altrade, our calls were returned promptly, we received a quote quickly, work commenced right away. Chris listened carefully to our needs, addressed our concerns with great suggestions. The carpenter worked quickly to make drywall repairs, frame our new windows, make a closet door (for an odd sized closet), install mirrored doors, and provide us with a much needed, sturdy new hand rail. The painters covered the entire room in drop cloths, working quickly and efficiently to paint the entire room, walls and ceiling. All of the staff were friendly and everything was left tidy at the end of each day. Upon completion of the job, the carpet was vacuumed and everything was put back in place. They even moved some heavy furniture down the stairs for us. Chris came to make sure that everything had been done to our satisfaction. I have already recommended Altrade to several friends and family members and I am already planning my next project with them.
I found the owners and crew very obliging to all concerns. The quality of the work was up to my expectations. They left the house clean. Would not hesitate to recommend or have them back to do additional work.
We are very pleased with this company, would hire them again and have already referred them to two of our friends who need work done in their homes.
We decided to have our oak stair railings and pickets in the house, painted out, as we were tired of the wood. My husband found Altrade's name and number in our small community newspaper. We had an estimate done and then they started 3 days later.
They put drop clothes down from the front door to the area where they would be painting, They moved some furniture we had left in place and put down drop clothes on all the floors below the painting areas. When the painters first arrived, their boss came with them and went over everything they were to do as they were dealing with three different colours of paint and two colours were a gloss finish. We were the home owners and we were included in the discussion to make sure there were no misunderstandings.
It only took two days, first day one painter, second day two painters. First coat put on was primer which was left to dry over night as it needed more drying time and then fine sanded first thing on the second day. The final two coats were put on the same day as that paint didn't take long to dry. We were advised that the paint would take 3 weeks to set and advised not to use any cleaners on it until after the three weeks were over.
After the painters were finished they cleaned up, vacuumed and then left. Both painters were very polite and wanted to please. Job well done in good time and quietly.
This is my second renovation with Manny Berube of Altrade.
I've already planned and in line for my third...
Manny will give you a quote or written quote if you want. He will work with you, stay in touch, provide suggestions, and stay on budget. Manny's crew are very courteous.
And really - have you ever had a renovation company tidy up at the end of each day?
I've already booked my next renovation with Altrade.
It is worth giving Manny a call and getting Altrade as one of your three quotes!
Because of some damage to an existing basement drop ceiling, we needed to have it replaced. Altrade answered my telephone call immediately and came that afternoon to give an estimate, which was in line with what I had expected. I had previously found a supplier for the materials, and Altrade was at our door the next morning to begin the work. The materials arrived soon after, and the job was finished satisfactorily before 5 pm that day. I heartily recommend Altrade for the excellence of their service, including how they kept the site clean. I have never before experienced such a speedy, courteous and professional response as theirs!
My wife and I highly recommend Altrade, the Berube family runs it headed by Emanuel. We moved from Toronto and had tight timelines and expectations regarding the quality and finish date of the Reno of our new 2500' home.
This is not my first Reno and have some knowledge about potential issues.
I awarded the contract to Altrade. I didn't know them and went with my gut. Communication with the client flexibility to efficiently work around other trades is important to me. They excelled in both these areas.
I have been described as (in a nice way) a difficult client because my expectations and knowledge is higher that most. But Emanuel, his son an entire team exceeded.
Budget and timelines were met without prodding.
On the technical part of the job I couldn't be happier with the removal of the "stucco / popcorn" ceilings and the skim job followed by a sprayed finish that was beautiful.
They noted minor defiencies and of their own initiative took care of them without prompting. They were pleasant, courteous and helpful throughout. I will call on them again.

Altrade Painting and Renovating did a fantastic paint job in our building. The painters are professionals that take pride in their work and are detail oriented. It was a large paint project, however, there was great communication with management and they were very accommodating to our needs (whether it was timing or any requests made). Also, the painters made it a priority to cleanup after themselves each day. The entire paint project (from start to end) was very positive and they are highly recommended.
Altrade had also done some external concrete repair work, as well as pouring a large concrete pad, retaining wall for 2 sheds and assembling the 2 sheds. Altrade went above and beyond our expectations. Looking forward to working with Altrade for future projects.
Thank you kindly, Altrade Painting and Renovating.
This would be the 5th time that I have used the services of Altrade Painting and Renovations and was very happy with their work. In the past, as well as painting, they have done some repair and restored a hardwood staircase. I've always been pleased by the results and would hire them in the future.
Hi Lisa,

Manny provides a written estimate after discussing your wishes & needs and making suggestions.
He works fast - My project took one week longer because I miscounted the old floor tiles we had and needed - requiring pulling out ALL tiles, thinset, mesh and buying new tiles. Ouch.
His crew tidies up at the end of every day. (Different than any other contractor I've ever had).
I've already booked hi again.
