From the design stages to the completion of the project we are very happy that we have chosen Concept Renovations to complete our home addition.
The communication with us was great, the budget was on point and the time frame for completion was also very reasonable.
We strong recommend Concept Renovations and Development.
Tina, it was a pleasure to work with you on your project and we will see you next year for your basement renovation.
Thanks for choosing Concept Renovations.
We are very impressed by Rodrigo and his team. They lead us through the entire process of our renovation before they got started so we knew what to expect before the work began. We didn't have to worry about doing anything ourselves, they where there every step of the way. We where sceptical that things would not go good because of all the horror stories we are always hearing about contractors but I would say Concept Renovations is not one of those companies you need to worry about. Thank you Rodrigo for making this a pleasurable experience for me and my family.
I highly recommend Concept for residential renovations. Rodrigo is experienced, personable and flexible. He is also a good project manager who is clear and upfront about realistic project timelines. Rodrigo and his crew renovated my condo bathrooms and a kitchen in a short period of time with a lot of attention to details, including making sure that my furniture and floors were not damaged. Prices were very reasonable. I recommend the services of Concept Renovations.
Your positive feedback is much appreciated.
We wanted to thank Matic Construction on making our outdoor oasis complete. Anto and his team designed and constructed an outdoor cedar shower that looks amazing and is functional for our needs. They went above and beyond making sure that, at each stage of construction, we were completely satisfied. They were thorough, neat and, above all, available when we had any questions. I would highly recommend Matic Construction for any renovation project.
I hired Better Built Reno to overhaul 2 floors of my house (installed hardwood, baseboard, new bathroom vanities, wall paint, paint stairs, new closet doors). Evan and his team were responsive all the way. They were very transparent with their quote and timelines to complete the project. Minor setbacks were addressed quickly and communication was constant. The end result was a completed project that was on-budget and on time. Due to the high quality of work I would recommend Better Built Reno to any of my friends.
The Better Built team lead by Evan did an amazing job with the bathroom in our investment property located in Etobicoke. They were on time to start working and cleaned up after each work day. They set the daily expectations and was very easy to work with. They were all extremely professional and polite.
I will definitely use this crew for other planned renovations.
Evan and crew, it was a delight working with you all and look forward to the next project.
Cheers! Jacque T.
Better built did a great job to build us our dream home. We had the main floor completely rebuilt from opening up the main floor, tiles and redoing the kitchen. Everything turned out very well and some better than we expected. It did take longer than expected but it seems to be the nature of renovations. Overall, we're very happy with the outcome and we want to thank Better Built for their professionalism and walking us through this whole process it was great and we love our new home. Thanks!
My wife and I first noticed the quality of Better Built Renovations' work while house hunting and seeing one of the properties they renovated. This made an impression, and when we purchased our home we decided to go with BBR after consulting numerous other contractors thanks to Evan's friendly, easy going professionalism.
We wanted to update our 50's era bungalow to a modern living space which included removal of a load bearing wall for an open concept space. This was our first major renovation project and Evan, Howard, and the BBR team happily answered all of our questions and addressed our concerns. They worked with us in selecting our own materials and finishes and bringing our vision of home to life. They also worked with us to ensure the project would fit within our budget. Although there were delays in the timeline of the project, Evan kept in constant communication with us to keep us apprised of the status of the work. When Evan was unavailable he ensured that another member of the team would be in touch.
Evan and his team took full ownership of their work, correcting mistakes without complaint and ensuring that everything met both his and our standards. Overall, we are very pleased with the work that BBR has done and would look to them again for future projects.
