Honest Renovations

I was so impressed by Josh and his team right from the very beginning of our dealings with them. First, Josh got back to me within the hour of me contacting him through this website. He was friendly, asked the right questions and had no problem offering us two different quotes depending on the material we were going to use for our project. He even contacted his engineer to have him look over our drawings before we even had him come to our house for a quote. I also read a blog on his website that had to deal with our exact project and it was nice to be so informed as a client.

When he arrived at our house, his calm demeanor and knowledge immediately set both my husband and I at ease and his quote wasn't too low to cause suspicion nor was it too high to question.

His team was super professional, super polite and very hard working. I overheard many of their discussions with eachother and they tackled each problem with integrity and commitment to doing it right. And they cleaned up perfectly afterwards!

My husband and I are happy to recommend Josh and his team to anyone and we will definitely call them back if we have another big project.

Josh and his crew were able to adjust their schedule to get our project completed before the holidays. Very clean and professional, would definitely recommend them!

Honesty, Reliable, Professional, Attention to Detail, Hard Working! These are just a few of the words that come to mind when I’m asked about Josh and his team at Honest Renovations. You did a great job in completing the renovations on our raised bungalow in Brantford, to convert it into a legal duplex. You have a well organized team and I never had to worry about a thing being done. The whole crew was like a well oiled machine from start to finish.

I am especially thankful that the cost was reasonable and was consistent with the original estimate. The top notch work completed by you and your crew has resulted in the tenants and I being very thrilled with the final results. We will be sure to use you for any future work that we need to have done.

Excellent job, good attention to detail. We required flood repair and Josh was able to make our basement look exactly how it did prior to the damage. He was punctual, thorough and tidy. I would recommend and use Honest Renovations again myself.

Josh and team did a very good job in renovating the basement for us. Josh is very accommodating and flexible. He gives lot of importance to every little detail. They may take a little extra time but did surely complete the job and very satisfied with the finished product. I would strongly recommend honest renovations for anyone who is looking for a contractor.

Josh and his gang came in on Monday just as promised and had everything barriered off with plastic to avoid the dust traveling too far.

Josh kept his word with everything he said he would do, any descripencancy I saw was quickly rectified in a professional manner. He consistently would ask if everything was ok and going according to plan which is nice to hear. Also the fact that his crew cleaned up at the end of everyday was such a relief as I had a little one running around after work hours.

Prices were fair and work was professional grade. Can’t argue with that and wouldn’t hesitate to contact him again for future projects.

I hired Josh and his team to convert my single family home in Brantford to a legal duplex. This required renovations and fire proofing the common areas - all according to the city by laws. Honest Renovations did a good job and completed everything in a timely manner.

My century old house had a nightmare bath tube overflow that completely destroyed our plaster living room ceiling and did serious damage to the walls. We were definitely stuck in a bad situation. Thankfully Honest Renovations came to the rescue and did a "Grade A" job for us. They completely restored the ceiling to better than original shape and installed beautiful plaster moldings for us. Our living room has never looked better and I was very impressed with the professionalism along with the quality of the work and craftsmanship. The consulted with us every step of the way and worked hard to ensure we got what we wanted and were truly happy. They fully met our expectations and went beyond the call of duty for us. So much so that I am now hoping they will do a totally new bathroom renovation for us and we can replace the nasty old bath tube that created the whole situation. I would highly recommend Honest Renovations to anyone. You should feel completely confident in working with them. They are definitely going to be my automatic go to people I use for future house projects. Honest Renovations are great people who do excellent work - I can't thank them enough - and that's the honest truth!

If you have a Renovation, I suggest you take the time to find people that will do a better Job. Hired these guys to do some renovations, and it was one shoddy work after the other. In the end, I was even told to finish some work in the bathroom by myself (I had paid for the whole bathroom to be done) because there wasn't enough material. After all of that, they will try to charge extra for materials you already purchased for the work.

My wife and I were looking to finish our unfinished basement when we contacted Honest Renovations to see what they could offer. We met with Josh who reviewed the project options, timeline and costs in a straightforward and professional manner. Good friends of our had used Honest Renovations to complete their finished basement project and had recommended that we contact them for more information.

Following our meeting, we felt confident that we had a chosen a list of options that would best fit the needs of our family. Josh and the team set off to work a couple of weeks after our first meeting. The team was always friendly with us and took the time to explain where they were at in the project, next steps, as well as ask if we had any questions or feedback. We truly felt like we were involved throughout the process. Any tradesman that were brought in for specific jobs, such as the electrician, were also friendly and of a good standard.

We were pleased with the extra steps that Honest Renovations took to make our lives easier. The disruption that is caused by home renovation projects is never fun, but we were impressed by the “going the extra mile” acts that were executed throughout the project. This included acts, such as laying cardboard paper on the main level floors during the work week that could be removed for the weekend and hosing down the front door steps. This saved us from having to clean up the dusty floors and the exterior entrance after a long work week. It was this type of attention to detail and cleanliness that really sets Honest Renovation apart from any other contractor company we’ve worked with in the past.

As of today, the basement project is finished, and we are beyond impressed with the end result. The space has gone from a glorified storage area to a beautiful, bright and comfortable living space. It’s a great feeling knowing that our young toddler now has a space to play in for years to come.

A big thank you to Josh and the team at Honest Renovations! If you’re looking to complete a home renovation project, we encourage you to contact Honest Renovations for more information. We look forward to working with them again on future home projects that may come along.
