De Sousa Renovations

We had the pleasure of working with Peter and his team at De Sousa renovations to have the basement of our home finished with a bedroom, storage area, 3 piece bathroom with walk in shower, kitchenette, fireplace wall and full living area.

The job was done professionally, beautifully and punctually in less than two months. We had a clear vision of exactly what we wanted with material choices and layout and Peter’s team was able to bring that to life perfectly. Big thanks to the team at DeSousa Renovations!

We are so happy with the work that Peter and his team have done in our home! So happy in fact that they have now completed 3 bathroom renovations, tiled our foyer, and they are coming in January to update our laundry/mud room! All work was completed on time, on budget, and with minimal disruption to our home. They were all friendly and polite. Peter made sure that I was happy with things at all stages of the project and would even send me the odd photo during the day if there were any decisions to make. Great work and lovely people!

Peter and his team was on time every day and every thing was on schedule as he said. We had a couple of modifications to the plan which he accommodated and was still on schedule. My wife was very happy with the final outcome of the bathroom.

This is the 3rd project with Peter. We came back because of the service, quality, speed, value and timing. We have no concerns whatsoever about what we will get. He just gets better. Phase #2 is full bathroom in the basement in a couple of months.. We are so excited and looking forward to have them work with us again ... and such nice people he and his guys.

Excellent work! Peter is knowledgeable, easy to work with, and has great attention to detail. Amazing tile work! He is on time, completes work as promised and follows up to ensure customer satisfaction. Highly recommended.

We chose the right contractor, DeSousa Renovations, for our main floor transformation. This remodel included removing all flooring on the main floor & replacing with hardwood looking porcelain tiles in an angle design (DeSousa's innovative suggestion). Removing existing kitchen cabinets and replacing with new kitchen cabinets and dining room pantry cabinet designed and built by supplier recommended by DeSousa. Painting of all ceilings and walls in the living, dining and hallway. Upgraded pot lighting in the hallway and kitchen as well as under the counter lighting on all new cabinets. Desousa co-ordinated all the work efficiently and professionally with his crew and all sub-contractors. Peter was with us all the way attending design and final approval meetings (with useful suggestions). We are ecstatic with the finished product. Project came in on quoted budget. All Peter's crew members and subcontractors did excellent work and were easy to work with. We will definitely use DeSousa again for our bathroom renovations!

Peter renovated our bathroom in the summer and we liked the job he did so much that we asked him to come back for our second bathroom! We have renovated an entire house over the past year with various different professionals. Peter was the only one to arrive on time every day. He is very reliable! With both of our bathroom renovations he has worked within our budget and still given me exactly what I wanted. Peter did all the tile work in the pictures provided. You should book your renovation with Peter, you won’t be disappointed.

Had Peter and his team look after am entire main floor Reno, along with Kitchen.

This included walls being removed, new structural beams installed and much more.

Complete gut and the transformation was amazing, always happy with Peter and his workmanship. Very trusted Contractor, don't have to worry while away at work.

Would recommend anytime. A+

Great experience from time of quote to job completion. Peter and Matt started the job on time, finished on time with excellent workmanship. Their work ethic includes clean as you go and no attention to detail was compromised. We will definitely use De Sousa Renovations for any future projects!

De Sousa Renovations redid our walk in shower. Unfortunately we had to have it redone after only 2.5 yrs. Our previous contractor did such a horrible job. Peter and his crew renewed our trust in contractors. They did such a great job and were very professional. All renos are messy but they did a great job cleaning up daily. Peter even did a few extra items that we asked for with no hesitation. We are planning to use their services again in the future and would definitely recommend them.

I would highly recommend De Sousa Renovations for any home renovations. They came in after two prior disappointing contractors to complete our master and hall baths as well as tile a mudroom. Peter was knowledgeable, reliable and honest. He pointed out what should be done to ensure we stayed on budget and explained the differences between different products so we could make educated decisions on where to allocate our budget. The quality of work was outstanding and everyone who has come over has loved the bathrooms. I was impressed with their attention to detail when tiling to ensure the tiles were lined up and cohesive looking. Peter was the main contact for the project and he would communicate frequently with us to discuss the work to be done each day, as well as get our input to ensure things were being done to our taste and style. The entire crew was courteous and respectful of our home and were always cleaning up after themselves. They were able to complete the project on time and were very accommodating to a few extras that we added to the scope of work after the initial site visit. They always showed up like clockwork when they said they would which meant a lot to us when prior contractors would show up whenever it was convenient with no thought for our schedules. I will finish up the way I started, I would highly recommend De Sousa Renovations to anyone in need of a qualified and trustworthy contractor. You will be satisfied with their end result. My only regret was not getting in contact with them first.

Contractors don’t usually have the best of reps - or at least the ones I have dealt with in the past. This is the 3rd house we’ve owned and 2nd basement we’ve finished. When Peter told us he’d be starting at the beginning of the month, I was positive he’d end up coming at least 3 days after the date we were told. But he was there bright and early the very day he told us to expect him. Him and his crew kept steady hours and worked hard. They finished the work quickly, efficiently and thoroughly. Peter is honest and does quality work and his prices are fair. My husband and I are impressed by the quality of work and would not hesitate to call him to do any other renovations we might need done in the future. The work was impeccable and professionally done. A++

De Sousa Renovations did a great job on our bathroom reno. Peter was responsive and quick with the initial quote, and then was accommodating and helpful when we changed direction (a few!) times with tile choices. He was very knowledgeable and helpful. Him and his crew worked very quickly, and were clean and timely. There was one issue with the glass that we had ordered, but I was very impressed that Peter advised us of the issue with the supplier, fixed it right away and had the integrity to find a better solution versus supplying us with a sub-par solution. This speaks highly to the quality of his work and that he stands behind it. I would happily hire Peter for more work in the future.

Once again we have trusted Peter to work his magic, this time in our basement. As with the past two projects he has completed for us, we are very happy with the final outcome! The new flooring, shiplap, and much increased functional space and rooms have made a big difference to the basement space.

As always, Peter is professional, on time and budget, and always quick to address any minor issues, if any.

Thanks Peter!

Called De Sousa Renovations after several referrals from friends who had nothing but amazing things to say. We asked Peter from De Sousa to quote and plan a build for a 20 x 5 ft custom shed that attached from our house to our fence wall.

Not only did he quote us more than fair, he showed up the next day and completed the entire job within hours, including the shed, a custom gate with locks, roof with shingles, and a drainage system.

The quality of work was beyond exceptional, he met all of our needs with the shed (even last minute changes) and he kept the entire work space clean.

We highly recommend Peter and De Sousa Renovations.

Very clean work. Amazing results. Work was thorough and completed on time. Great customer service. We are very happy with the service provided and look forward to working with Peter in the very near future.

De Sousa Renovations was recommended to me for a basement overhaul. From start to finish, Peter followed through with Quality work along with time frame spoken about. Trusted, true and great workmanship. Complete basement.

From: Teardown

To: Studs, floor, insulation, drywall etc. Including some stone work on fireplace.

Peter completed our full basement renovation a few years back, we called him again to complete the nursery for our little one arriving soon. His work as always is remarkable. We can't thank you enough, we are over the moon with how it turned out.

We always have a great experience working with De Sousa Renovations. We definitely can't and won't trust anyone else. Highly recommended!

Peter gave us a good quote and came the day he said he would to replace 2 floors for us. He worked quickly, went and got a couple of pcs of trim I didn't have. The job he did was top notch. He cleaned the job site completely and took away the old flooring.

I have used Peter before for Bathroom renovations and will continue to call him first.

Peter and his team was a breath of fresh air during a period of stress in our lives. We needed a complete in law lower level apartment completed as soon as possible all with covid going on. Peter worked with us from planning the basement design to help us stay on budget and finished the entire job on time as quoted. The daily clean up and thoughtfulness to keep the rest of the house clean while all materials and construction was going on was excellent. The organization of the job and final finishing details was perfect and left us yet again very pleased and relieved we that we used services. Any other details or concerns we had were always addressed and nothing was left hanging - no stress. I would highly recommend Peter and his team!

Thank you so much Peter. We are so thrilled with our completed bathroom renovation. Everything was spot on; the time line that the job took , the quality and attention to details. I love my new bathroom!! I cannot say enough about how pleased I am.

And for other future projects I will not hesitate to request your services.

Thanks Wendy and Peter Werner

Peter was exceptionally good in helping us with our project. He was very timely in returning my original inquiry and coming to quote. After we accepted he gave us a schedule and kept us update through the job. He also helped us with sourcing tiles.

The job was completed on time, on budget and we have received numerous compliments about the work from friends and family.

I highly recommend Peter ... we definitely have a couple of new projects we will give to him.

Peter and his team finished our basement complete with full wet bar, bathroom with shower, living space and bedroom. From start to finish, which happened

a full week ahead of schedule, DeSousa Renovations was great to work with. Professional, knowledgeable, punctual, on time and on budget. Highly recommend.

Peter and his crew did an amazing job on our master shower project. They replaced our basic, builder grade shower with a custom built, natural stone + glass enclosure and it turned out beautiful! Peter was extremely helpful and responsive, answering all our questions and concerns throughout the entire process. He will be our first call for all our future projects! We highly recommend him.

As a very avid DIY'er I consider myself very knowledgeable about renovations, Peter never hesitated to accept my challenges on techniques/procedures. Even though he was the expert, he heard me out and gave me his pro's and con's, allowing to make an informed decision. He was always very polite and always on time.

When a mishap occurred (installing the wrong tiles in the washroom, using the wrong paint type in the washroom), Peter never showed frustration or swore or tried to pass blame, it was as simple as "okay, I'll rip it out, order new tiles - it's my cost".

He had the key to our house and worked without us there. I didn't have any issues at all.

I have a handful of contractors that I trust and use for renovations, and Peter has joined my list (especially since he uses Schluter products)

Peter has just completed installing new wood flooring on entire main level (living, dining, kitchen, entrance) as well as a full redo of powder room and we’re already booking him for the next round of upgrades! Peter is professional, punctual, polite and delivers high quality work. Most impressed with the regular updates and clear, effective communication every step of the way. He has been a pleasure to work with and we look forward to the next round of upgrades to our home provided by Peter.

We had a great experience with Peter and De Sousa Renovations. He was always on time, had exceptional customer service, was professional, and stood by his prices and work. Peter made our renovation experience seamless and positive. He completely re-did our entire ensuite, flooring upstairs and on the main level, entire staircase, paint throughout, and partial kitchen. We were happy with all of the work and would recommend him and his team.

When I told my friend I was renovating my home for my wife's 50th birthday, he told me, I have the right guy for you. He introduced me to Peter from De Sousa Renovations Ltd. When Peter came over to our home to provide a quotation and show me his prior work, I hired Peter without hesitation! Peter was punctual, professional, polite, courteous, hard working, well organized and quick. Peter completed his work in a timely fashion and met my budget. His attention to detail is second to none. Peter is very meticulous with his work and takes great pride in what he does. My wife, family, friends and neighbours were really impressed with his work and complimented his talent and called our transformation a work of art! If anyone is looking for someone to hire, I would definitely recommend Peter in the highest degree.

My husband and I bought a new house and it had an unfinished in law suite. We hired peter to do the renovation for us, he did two bathrooms added bedrooms turned a garage into living space and so much more. I had an idea in my mind but didn’t know it would turn out as amazing as it did. Peter was amazing to work with and very trust worthy with all of his ideas and plans that he gave us. We are so happy with how everything turned and and so are my in laws! We can’t wait to have Peter back to do some more renovations for us in the future !!

I was referred to Peter from another contractor. I have to say the De Sousa crew was the most professional crew I have ever worked with. Peters guys showed up on time every day, were professional, neat, and worked efficiently. They laid 4’ porcelain barn board grey tile through our entire basement and 12x24 tile through laundry and bathroom.

The end result was far beyond our expectations. This floor was poured in 1971 and I’m pretty sure the builder was blind. The floor was sooooooo uneven it made ya sea sick. Peter and his crew left us with a floor that looks, feels incredible plus it’s level to the naked eye. Far......far beyond our expectations. Did I mention they completed the entire basement in 5 days start to finish !

Do yourself a favor...... allow Peter to come save your reno or new build....... I’d bet the De Sousa crew will be your favorite contractor on your build crew.

We hired De Sousa Renovations in December to complete a project starting April, and it started on time which in itself we thought was already impressive. Peter was quick to respond to emails/texts/calls and was always updating us on when he and his crew would be coming in, leaving, etc. He was mindful of our budget and offered excellent ideas to adjust our design to allow us to meet our goal.

The finishings are so clean and precise, with great attention to detail. It is obvious that he worked hard to ensure that things were done correctly; we really could not find any fault when we did our final walk-through.

Our project was completed in advance of the estimate and we are so pleased with how everything turned out.

We would also like to thank Peter for being respectful of our belongings, and he made sure things were always neatly put away at the end of the work day. We had no problem with them working while we were out of the house, and that peace of mind that can be difficult to find. We would not hesitate to hire De Sousa Renovations for future projects and recommend them highly.

Peter did a great job painting our offices and installing new flooring. We are very happy with the results. He was professional and kept us up to date on the progress of the job. I highly recommend Peter.

Peter did a complete redesign/renovation on my house. Amazing attention to detail and incredibly responsive. He by far exceeded all of our expectations and would immediately turn to them if we were to have any additional renovation needs -- from creating the design to following through in making it exactly as it was planned. Works very hard to make one's renovations a go!!!! Peter is a highly professional, and more importantly, trustworthy guy. He would send us daily updates and pictures of what he completed for the day. I highly reccommend Peter if your looking to give your home a face lift. You've made my family very happy and proud of our brand new home. We would definitely use this company again and would recommend you without reservation. He completed the work before his deadline. Thanks Peter!!!

Peter was a real pro. Showed up on time every day, and 2 days when he would be a little late due to traffic, would send a txt.

He and his helper would come in and work from the moment they stepped in the door each day.

Offered alternatives and good suggestions, keeping our budget in mind at all times. Very polite and respectful of my wife and I and our home.

At the end of work each day, the house was cleaned up and tools and materials were put away and covered up, and then he'd explain the scope of work for the following day, and any expectations of us related to furniture to be moved or decisions to be made.

The quality of work was excellent, and the job was finished ahead of schedule. A couple of small adjustments had to be made after the job was completed, and Peter came back and did this within 2 days of me notifying him.

I'd recommend De Sousa Renovations to friends as they were recommended to me.

Peter De Souza provided us with professional and quality home renovations. He stuck to a structured timeframe and was wonderful with balancing his work schedule around our bustling young family’s schedule.

Peter always left the workspace tidy and manageable when he left for the day. He maintained open dialogue with us, communicating any and all information we needed to know regarding pricing, supplies and general FYI’s uncovered during the renovation process.

Peter is extremely knowledgeable in his field, he is well priced with exceptional service and a dedicated work ethic that goes above and beyond so you have the finishing touches you deserve.

I highly recommend him as a contractor.

We are thrilled with the work done by De Sousa Renovations.

Our bathroom was completely torn out, and on day 1 I was so impressed with how clean my house was. I have 2 small children and was worried there might be some dangerous things around the house, but never once did I see dirt, debris or anything out of place. The entire project, our home was treated with the utmost respect.

Peter worked with us, giving lots of helpful feedback with products and design. He was patient and flexible and so professional.

Pricing for our reno was very fair and competitive. The end result is beautiful and we couldn’t be more happy with our new bathroom. We will certainly be using De Sousa Renovations in the future for any home improvements.

Peter, did an excellent job installing new porcelain tiles throughout our home. His attention to detail was greatly appreciated as he carefully navigated his way to ensure that the floor was completed to our specifications. Peter was in constant communication with us each step of the way and provided his expertise when needed. Our flooring was received multiple compliments from friends who seen it.

Once he completed the flooring we were so pleased that we asked if he would install the backsplash in our kitchen and completely renovate our ensuite. Peter was able to once again meet and exceed our expectations with both the backsplash and brand new ensuite. Peter was able to stay within our budget and complete the work in a timely fashion. Our house is now completely transformed for better because of Peter fantastic workmanship.

Thanks Peter!

Peter and his company De Sousa Renovations well exceeded expectations. We tasked him with removal and installation of new floors across the entire home, a brand new stairwell, removal of walls, painting, and backsplash installation just to name a few. Not only did he have the best pricing around, he also has great connections to suppliers and tradesman, which saved us a ton of money.

He worked quickly, and professionally, showing pride in his work. His quality of work is truly exceptional. He took the time to keep us updated on every step to make sure we stayed on schedule.

We highly recommend De Sousa Renovations for any of your renovation needs. Peter really is the jack of all trades.

Peter did an amazing job on our front entrance way, bathroom (x2) and laundry room. We love the heated floor so much that we want it in the rest of the house now. The tile work was nothing short of perfection and Peter used the best materials for our heated floor. We wanted a heated floor throughout the main entrance way, including the main floor bathroom, laundry room/ mud room. It was a big job and he did it in stages to accommodate our living arrangements. Peter and his crew were always on-time and kept things clean and tidy around the house. We are very impressed with Peter's work, he really knows what he's doing when it comes to tile work. I would highly recommend Peter to friends and family. We really love our floor(s) and new bathroom(s).

Excellent and fast service! I would definitely recommend De Sousa Renovations!

Thank you for a great job done. :)

Peter did our main bathroom renovation in July 2017. It was a complete reno; gutted the whole thing and rebuilt. We had a bathtub before, but we decided to get rid of it and just have a walk-in shower instead. Peter custom-made our shower area exactly like we had wished it to be, in terms of size, design (i.e., a little cubby area in the wall to store our shampoo and soap, etc), and functionality. He recommended us a very nice tile store to get all the tiles from for this reno, and we loved the quality of the materials. Their tiles are very beautiful and also extremely easy to wash, and they are never slippery! This was my major concern because I was due for my hip surgery, and didn't want to slip and fall.

Peter was always on time, very true to his budget; and he always cleaned after his job. He was extremely reliable. He made sure that we were happy with his work all the time. Strongly recommend Peter, but you'd better book him early cause he's very popular!!

Peter completed the job ahead of schedule and on budget. Very satisfied with the work completed. Peter kept me informed during the project. Peter kept the work site very clean and returned it to good condition. I was very happy with the completed project and Peter as the contractor. I have already recommended Peter to friends.

Peter is second to none when it comes to craftsmanship, attention to detail, quality and dependability. What I mean by this is, he can be trusted and works and treats your premises as his own. Peter completely renewed our commercial building making it feel just like home office when our company moved in. Completion of installed doors and windows, painting large and complex areas and multiple hardware fixes up to and including re-tiling and frame work.

Shortly after this renovation myself and 2 other executives called upon Peter for our personal home renovations. Peter completed my basement of 700sq feet from top to bottom including: tiles placement, drywall & painting, built bathroom and install shower doors, installed kitchen, completed laundry room with cabinets and much more.

He is a pleasure to work with and never comes up with an excuse, only solutions and is very cautious about respecting your budget and coming up with unique solutions.

You would be seen as a very intelligent person for hiring Peter, not to many contractors like him out there with unsurpassed integrity and craftsmanship.

Peter did a fantastic job tiling three bathrooms (2 full showers) in our house. He had excellent communication skills, was very punctual, offered a great price (and provided a hotel quickly!) and his work was superb! We are very very happy with the work he completed. I highly recommend him.

10/10 quality of work and service, accommodating schedule and time frame to compete the work. We had our entire home done with laminate flooring without any issues to this day the floors are great. Our backsplash is a focus point of our kitchen, clean and professional look very happy with all the work completed.
