I had a completely positive experience with Grindstone Renovations and highly recommend them for any renovation, maintenance, repair job in the home. The combination of high quality work and integrity resulted in a superb job on all fronts.
They work as a highly functional team, provide accurate estimates and meet target deadlines.
Grindstone replaced the bathtub in our condo with a walk-in shower and replaced the bathroom countertops and sinks. The end product is both beautiful and functional. We found all of the team at Grindstone to be not only professional in their dealings with us but also very pleasant to deal with. We highly recommend them and will have them back to do our kitchen renovation.
Harrison and the rest of the Grindstone team were great to work with! The level of service was second to none. Our full basement development required attention to detail, a tight timeline and specific scheduling requests. Harrison was extremely accommodating with all of our requests and when we wanted something changed – he made it happen. Harrison communicated with us throughout the project and was always available to answer questions whenever they came up. We had a vision for our basement and Harrison and his team made our vision a reality…we couldn’t be happier with the final result! Harrison often went above and beyond with little details that did not go unnoticed. We would recommend Grindstone for any renovation and would absolutely use them for our next project!
Harrison and Grindstone Renovations & their team did a great job on our new basement bathroom. They were easy to deal with. Everything that was discussed prior regarding the design, timeline and pricing was carried out according to plan. There were no surprises and if we wanted to revise anything along the way Grindstone easily accommodated us. We are happy with our new basement bathroom & are ready to embark on the next project with them.
The Grindstone team was wonderful to work with. The team treated our projects as their own. They communicated with us well on timelines, costs, and walked us through all aspects of the projects. The attention to the little details has made people who see our projects quite impressed. The work is made to last.
The team image is one that has made our family want to continue to use them and want to recommend them. They are courteous, good with the kids and always left our home and yard clean.
Both Matt and Harrison were always available to talk, and made their presence known on the work site.
We recently hired Grindstone Renovations to replace our bathtub. Overall we were very happy with the result. They removed the old tub, installed all the new plumbing, studs, drywall, bathtub and faucets. I found the guys at Grindstone to be very professional right from day one. They answered all my emails and questions, and worked with us to find the right tub and faucets that we wanted. They worked around the interesting space that we have for a 1950 built house. They cleaned up each day, they were polite, professional, fair priced, there were no surprises, and they communicated well the entire time. We are very happy with the finished product and hope to have them back for more renos.
Thanks Grindstone!
After posting my job here grindstone contacted me as well as others. I chose grindstone and was not disappointed! The job was done in the time frame specified as it is our only bathroom. We are doing the kitchen next and will not need to look any further for a reno company as we have found them! They are a great bunch of guys to work with. Very professional yet able to have a laugh with the homeowner too!
I found Grindstone Renovations using Google search for a condominium renovation and it was the best find ever!! I made an appointment with Matt for an estimate and instantly found him to be professional, knowledgeable and trustworthy. They began the project right away and assisted us in choosing materials that would best match our budget and style. Matt was always available for questions that I had and frequently provided us with progress reports. The end result was beyond my expectations. The condo looked so modern and clean. The crew left everything spotless! I will definitely use Grindstone Renovations again and will spread the word on how pleased we were with the amazing job they did.
I was referred to Grindstone Renovations by friends that were very pleased with their professional and timely services.Since then I have had 3 projects completed in the past 1.5 years. They are very prompt in responding to calls and each written estimate was provided in under 3 days. They are easy to talk to, listened to and followed up on my questions. The owners of this firm work on the projects,have good working relationships with their trades. I had painters, plumbers and electricians and all provided the services they promised in a timely manner. If timelines need to change[ which was seldom] I was contacted promptly. They never left me waiting. They respected my property, always cleaning up and protecting floors and walls from any damage. I will certainly hire this firm again and would be happy to give references.
I have worked with the Grindstone guys on 2 projects now and they are great. The 1st project was a major renovation of our 1600 sq. foot basement. The basement was essentially gutted in its entirety right down to the concrete floors and walls. This was a massive undertaking and the Grindstone guys were up for the challenge. The guys were hired to rebuild the basement which included a large family room with a bar, large closet, 2piece bathroom, home gym, furnace room and utility room. There were a lot of unique materials used in this project and they worked with everything I threw at them! The end results were amazing. Anytime I wanted to make changes or additions, I could text them and they would get back to me right away. I got some of my own sub-trades, but they suggested an electrician who I used and was great. They also used a man to tape the walls and a carpet installer. They did all of the painting back then but now use a painting company who are also very good (they provide some consultation on the 1st project and did the painting on my 2nd project). I really liked working with all the guys, they were respectful and worked long days and weeks on the project. In the end it was a 6 month project, and I enjoyed working with them for the entire time. I always left them detailed notes on things I wanted completed and if things weren't done, I would make note of them. They would always complete tasks on my checklists. The also picked up the majority of my products for me, which was great and a time saver for me. They charged me for their time, but it was much easier for me rather than having to hire a transport company. Their payment schedule was reasonable and fair. When we got to another big part of the job, we would arrange to meet in person to discuss the next stage. They were always accommodating and worked within my schedule. The end result exceeded my expectations and everyone who sees our basement are wowed by the workmanship.
After a year, I texted them again to see if they were interested in doing another project for us. We arranged to meet and came by our house within a few days. This project was not as big as the 1st project, but still it was a rebuilt of our entranceway. Again the results were just as spectacular. The only difference this time is they sub-contracted the painting to the company I mentioned earlier. They did a great job. I also used the same electrician as before. They provided the name of a stucco company who we used and they worked out really well. The room is only 12 x 7 feet, but there were some major things going on in the room and they worked well with the window/door company who gutted the front of our house to install a new entrance and a very large picture window.
On both projects we hired our own demolition crew, but Gridstone took care of the rebuild. They are on my speed dial and would not hesitate working again with them again! I highly recommend Grindstone.
