Kingsway Home Improvements Inc.

We are very pleased with the work that Kingsway Home Improvements provided at our Etobicoke home. The scope of the work was extensive and our expectations were exceeded. The job was started and completed within the allotted time. Tony is a skilled "hands on" contractor who takes pride in his work. I would not hesitate to recommend Tony and his team.

We chose Kingsway Home Improvement because of past work done at my mother's house. Our 1980"'s house needed updating. We updated the 2 1/2 bathrooms, main floor hardwood, resurface fireplace, kitchen countertop and backsplash. All interior doors, baseboards and window trim was replaced.

We were impressed with Tony's work on the bathrooms especially the master bath that was converted to a large shower from an outdated bathtub. Tile work in both bathrooms was excellent with the niche and floating shelf adding a nice touch.

Also involved was Dan who was there everyday installing the hardwood flooring (excellent job) as well as putting up interior doors, baseboard and trim. Very meticulous.

Overall we were quite happy with the result and would highly recommend Kingsway.

Very professional and trustworthy.

Included is a picture of our new family room with new hardwood flooring, new baseboards and trim, new stone fireplace.

We hired Kingsway home improvements after interviewing over 30 contractors for the job. We wanted to find the right company and did not stop looking until we found the one company we felt confident about. We checked references and only received glowing recommendations.

Our project was to completely redo our main bathroom and out master bathroom. Both projects were completed on time and on budget and our bathrooms look fantastic.

Tony was great and we would definitely hire him again and because we had such a great experience we are now looking at renovating our main floor.

Kingsway Home Improvements was recommended to us by a friend and we were told that we will have a very positive experience with the company and a beautiful bathroom at the end. And my friend was right! We enjoyed working with Tony and his professional team. Can't wait to have them back for more work in our house.

Thank you Tony!

Removal of existing vanity, drywall, shower stall, lighting etc. We liked the ideas Tony had for the renovation. Work was completed in a timely manner, area was left clean & tidy each day. We are absolutely thrilled with our new bathroom.

I was very satisfied with the quality of the work done by Kingsway Home Improvements. Everything was on time and within budget.

For 100K contract value you can't afford to go wrong with your general contractor. It all started in Oct 2015 when we've opened the bid process. Out of about 6 valid offers, we've streamlined it to two of them in the final and Tony got it (or Kingsway Home Improvements). We have to say that at that time we were hoping to have taken the wisest decisions but no matter how good you are in selecting, there is a lottery that only the time can confirm that is was or not the best avenue. Even after checking the references.

Then April 2016 came and the garbage bin was dropped in the driveway (I had to shovel the snow that morning)!

Contract was clear, starting date, duration (approx 4 months) and scope too.

I will start with keeping the word in commitments. We all know that this business is full of delays, etc, especially these days making us (customer) feeling vulnerable. Well, no surprise there with Tony, actually he was earlier in few deliverables. The subcontractors were strongly managed (I assume he made his life easier on that due to durable relationships established with them over the years).

Then unforeseeable problems came with the house when you tear apart the walls. I will mention here only the water infiltration discovered after we've removed the sofa that was sitting against that wall for 10 years. No issue there too, we were treated fair and problem was solved.

We lived in the house during the whole renovation. Imagine being in a moving train and asked to move from one wagon to the other because there is work to do. It was fun and is worth it to say that we were helped be these guys. Clean, tight, organised just to name a few. Tony was there every day checking for that.

There were debates while on the go i.e. we would like to do it this way, Tony believed differently. In all cases we came up with a common denominator and reasonable deviations scope/price. His ethics are great.

We can add more but we believe is enough for whomever reads to conclude that Kingwsay Home Improvements deserves best marks for all of the criteria below. Thank you!

Prior to hiring Tony to convert this one family dwelling into 3 two bedroom units, including separate hydro meters, AC, and ensuite laundry, I intended to hire a friend I had known for over 15 years from church. While doing my research, I came to the conclusion that my friend would struggle with the job. I immediately, invited some 5 contractors to submit quotes and estimates. Tony's quote was in the middle, and I decided to go with him. That was the best decision I made. Though I don't have many experiences dealing with contractors, I've heard and witnessed many renovations horrors. Tony has good work ethics. One can rest assured that once hired; Tony will be at your jobsite everyday until the job is completed. Further, you can expect him to provide excellent customer service should any problem arise after his task is done. A strong communicator and straight shooter, expect Tony to call you to present options in view of resolving problems and issues, and to get your approval to move forward. The project was completed slightly over budget and approximately 2 weeks beyond estimated timeframe. Renovating is always stressful, especially when money is scarce. However, a lot of that stress can be alleviated if you hire the right people to do the job. Having dealt with Tony on a daily basis, I can say with confidence, that Tony was the ideal contractor for my job.

Having used Kingsway Home Improvements Inc. for several earlier projects, there was no doubt that we would be calling on Tony and his crew when we wanted some major renovations done to our home. As usual, Tony did not disappoint. He completely remodelled 3 bathrooms for us, finished a laundry room, and constructed a storage area in our basement. Each facet of the renovation was done in a professional, efficient manner, always taking into account our personal needs and preferences. Tony offered suggestions and advice on products and materials, and did his best to ensure that our wishes and needs were being met to the fullest. The bathrooms are not only beautifully finished, they are modern and equipped with many safety features that make our lives easier. Tony is a hands-on contractor who is involved with all aspects of a job. His employees follow the same work ethic, and do their jobs with the least amount of disruption to your daily routine. They leave the area neat and clean at the end of each day, and arrive on time to start the new day. In conclusion, we find Tony to be an honest, hard-working contractor, dedicated to ensuring you get the best job for the money you spend. We will definitely use Kingsway Home Improvements Inc. for any future renovation needs.

My wife and I decided to do a full renovation of our only full bathroom. While dirt and dust are unavoidable, Tony and his crew attenpted to minimize the effect of the construction on the rest of our home and were very respectful towards us and our house. The project was finished on time and on budget. We encountered a couple of small issues and Tony brought these to our attention right away and suggested creative solutions for our consideration. Even though he may have disagreed with our final decision a couple of times, he acknowledged that it was our decision and made it happen. We also had a couple of warranty issues and Tony was there within days to remedy these at no cost.

I would definitely recommend Tony for a home renovation and will use him again if the opportunity arises.

Tony from Kingsway Home Improvement was the best contractor we could have hoped for. When quoting the job, it was immediately obvious that he was much more competent and serious than the other contractors were. He spent a lot of time detailing the various stages of our renovation and coming up with a precise schedule and cost for the work. Although we had a few unanticipated setbacks (entirely not his fault), he was on time and on budget.

However, the trait that I liked the most, which I don't think you will find elsewhere, is his attention to detail. On multiple occasions, I would see something that I was not completely happy with. In almost every case, he had already spotted it and had one of his guys correcting it before I had to bring it up, or if I did bring it up, it was corrected immediately.

We had a huge renovation. He renovated 3 washrooms, removed a load bearing wall between the Family Room and Kitchen, changed a laundry room into an office, inserted a gas fireplace into a wood fireplace, removed and refinished a monstrous stair railing with over one hundred pickets, added a 6' by 5' island, re-shingled our roof and replaced 2 garage doors. It took more than 3 months because there was so much to do, but his guys were there every day and HE was there nearly every day. He wasn't a "ghost" contractor that you hire and is rarely there doing work.

As well, we had some special requests for the schedule that he was very accommodating with. We were redoing the flooring in the kitchen so needed to lose our kitchen sink and dishwasher for this to happen. We have two little kids, so this was rather inconvenient. We asked him to minimize the down time and he had our kitchen sink back and working in one week, which was an incredible feat.

You should feel confident hiring Tony and Kingsway Home Improvement. I talked to a lot of his references before we started our job and everyone had high praise with no negatives.

Late last year, my wife and I decided to do a full bathroom renovation and remodel our basement. This was the first major home renovation that we ever did and after watching all of the disasters on Mike Holmes, we were very concerned.

Well, after meeting with Tony from Kingsway, we decided that he matched our requirements. Well, when Tony and his crew arrived on the first day, we had already tried to protect other areas of our home from the dust. Tony and the crew came in and further sealed doors and put up plastic throughout the house to try to minimize the dust. We were very impressed by this! It demonstrated a true commitment to doing a great job.

Throughout the whole job, we continued to be positively surprised: over the 4 weeks of the project, the crew was there daily. Tony made sure that there was minimal downtime. I was totally unaware of the permit requirements. Tony took care of all of the permits and inspections.

The quality of the work was excellent. We had a number of trades including plumbers, electricians and painters. All of the work was completed exceptionally well and quickly. Invariably, on any project, there are some changes required. There were some issues that we had with the electrical and the plumbing that were unknown at the start of the project. Tony made sure that things got done properly and reviewed with me the impact on the project budget. For example, we had a broken sewer pipe in the basement. Tony made sure this got fixed quickly and very cost effectively. We did not even know we had a problem!

We also made some “change requests” during the project. Tony was able to accommodate these changes in a very cost effective manner.

The part that impressed my wife a lot was that at the end of everyday, the crew cleaned the work areas to minimize the impact on us living through a reno.

I would not hesitate to recommend Kingsway Home Improvement for any potential renovation!

Tony and his professional, hard-working crew, have just completed a major renovation of our front entranceway. Tony planned and supervised the project from start to finish, ensuring that his team did an exemplary job. He kept us advised throughout the project and consulted with us on a regular basis to ensure our satisfaction. The team was courteous, friendly and approachable, and the end product was over and above our expectations. We have received several compliments on our new entranceway from our friends and neighbours, and I have absolutely no problem recommending Kingsway Home Improvements Inc. to them for any of their renovation or home imrovement needs. We will definitely use their services again if required.

Everything a good contractor should be! Gave us a detailed well-explained quote and stuck to it. Didn't try to up-sell the job. Set a date, came, did the work well, cleaned up completely, left. Tony and his team were efficient and professional and friendly and very courteous. We'll use Tony again, and recommend him to our friends.

We found Tony on this website for our basement renovation. We were very impressed with his professionalism and willingness to work with us on changes or additions. He was on time and on budget and always made sure the place was clean and tidy when the crew left. We would definatly hire Tony and his workers again.

Always on time, impeccably clean and consistent - finished on time and on budget.

Will hire and recommend Kingsway Home Improvements again and again.

We had a great experience working with Tony and his crew. After having trouble with a previous contractor, Tony came into the job and right away put us at ease. He was very professional and was able to work within our budget and kept to the time line. I would recommend his company to anyone needing a contractor and would use him for any future projects we may have.

Tony and his crew came out and performed some drywall replacement and did a great job. Tony made sure everyday before leaving the area was clean and all garbage was put in the proper place so not to track all through the house. He was on time and called if there was a delay. Several months later we had Tony take care of some tile work and it looks great. No problems or concerns, he treats you as he would expect to be treated himself.

Tony and his crew were a delight to work with. They were helpful, creative and commited to our project. When we had a minor repair a year later they returned immediately to fix a broken stair. I would not hesitate to use Kingsway Home Improvements again or to recommend them.
