M & D Buildings

All three bathrooms of our house were remodelled together by M&D Builders. The team was great to work with. Mike Messiha was professional, knowledgeable and resourceful. The construction crew (Michael, Ted and Adam) was skilful, hard-working and respectful. The team managed the project well and completed it on schedule and budget. The new bathrooms look fantastic! We are very happy with the renovation and would highly recommend their services!

We hired M&D Buildings to renovate our first floor after interviewing six other contractors. Since we were removing a load bearing wall we wanted to make sure we can trust the person working on the house. From the beginning Mike was knowledgeable and communicative, answered all of our questions with patience and provided solutions. All permits and drawings were obtained in a timely fashion.

Mike and his crew were efficient, responsive and punctual. Demolition was done with minimal debris and they always cleaned up at the end of the day. Everyone who worked on our project was experienced and professional.

Overall we had a great experience and would highly recommend M&D Buildings.

I am having M&D builders do a total renovation of my kitchen, they are fantastic. Mike,'s (project manager), desigh and trades team , take pride in their work. They always show up when scheduled, are polite and hard working, Mike is always available, if i have any questions or concerns. I am almost at the end of the kitchen reno. and it's looking great. Thanks Mike and your crew.

Mike and his team were amazing to work with. His attention to detail and communication ensured that my vision for the renovation was exact. Great counter tops and cabinet selection to choose from and the installation was flawless. I would work with Mike on any future renovations due to the overwhelmingly positive experience I had.

I chose M&D Builders for major renovations to our home in the early fall of 2021. The work involved “gutting” a finished basement, kitchen, main floor powder room, a family room and a connecting hall.

The re-construction required extensive plumbing and electrical work, installation of new trims, casings, doors and site preparation for new cabinetry as well as installation of new wood floors, tile floors, and finally all finish painting. M&D Builders installed new pot lighting through-out the renovated areas, as well as, installation of all kitchen and bathroom appliances and fixtures. A new bathroom was constructed in the basement where extensive concrete work was necessary to connect service lines.

My negotiations with Mike Messiha the Project Manager and his staff, particularly Les Zwierkowski, were never confrontational, and time after time, they found ways to accommodate my requests and often suggested creative solutions to construction and/or design issues we encountered during the renovation.

Work was done efficiently by all trades, and housekeeping was excellent.

Mike Messiha and his support crews were easy to work with, and I intend to use them on additional renovations. Without exception M&D Builders honored the renovation contract and has earned an excellent rating for its efforts.

M&D Builders did a very good job in renovating the whole main floor for our two-story house in Oakville. We relocated the kitchen and made it bigger (so happy finally we have an island); renovated the powder room & laundry room; re-purposed the old dining room as a new office/bedroom. We worked with a kitchen company for the cabinets and countertops. M&D did everything else. The quality of their work is high standard, and their crew are professional and respectful. We're very satisfied with the end results, including the structural changes (i.e., a new steel beam added and a new wall for the open concept kitchen), the hardwood & tile flooring, the electrical work, plumbing, painting, new doors, crown moulding, etc. We would highly recommend them to friends & family and anyone who's looking for a reliable and reasonable general contractor.

A few things:

1) At our first meeting with Mike, he pointed out our plan would need structural changes, the drawing and city permit. Right away, we consulted a structural engineer and confirmed what Mike said was true. So, we knew he was honest and know his stuff. Other small companies who came before him didn't know about the structural change. A couple of big builder companies didn't bother to give us much details, they offered a packaged deal - pay first, details later. After some discussions on the details with Mike, we signed the contact with M&D. Our project started after March break, now is nearing the end, we’re glad we chose M&D.

2) Mike and his team are flexible to accommodate our needs. For example, we moved out at the beginning and then had to move back sooner due to unexpected situation. Mike and his team managed to coordinate and work with three of us living and working on the 2nd floor and completed the work. At the end of each workday, they always cleaned up the garbage and tidied up the site.

3) Mike and his team are honest and upfront for unexpected costs. They provide us options and professional advice based on years of experience but listen and respect our decisions as the homeowner.

M&D met our expectations in delivering our renovation project.

Mike was very patient and helpful with the design and renovation details.

He coordinated his crew to work around having us living in the house during renovations which saved us a lot of hassles with alternate living arrangements. The construction areas were kept relatively clean at the end of each day.

The quality of work was good. All trades were courteous and professional. The demolition crew were very tidy. There was minimal dust and debris at the end of each day. Cabinet vendor gave us a quality design with details that we would not have thought of. The person who installed the tiles did an amazing job. The electrician was very knowledgeable and was very helpful laying out the pot lights. The fit and finish met our expectations. Unknowns were dealt with quickly.

Will recommend M&D for your renovation project.

After hearing multiple horror stories and never having any renovations done, I was hesitant initially, but my washroom was in dire need of fixing and had to take action. After getting several no-shows, slow responses and very high estimations, I, fortunately, came across M & D Builders who not only thoroughly reviewed the washroom but gave an honest assessment of what to expect along with a very reasonable price. Mike was open to listening to what we had in mind and helped us give insights and ideas of achieving the looks best. The process from the initial contact to the finished product was well organized and transparent. Mike had briefed us correctly on what we needed to do and what he could do and was even kind enough to accommodate us when we couldn't fulfill our requirements. Communication throughout the time frame was excellent. Now the washroom is complete, Mikes's communication has been fantastic, and he was open to listening to our concerns and resolving those issues as soon as possible. M & D Builder's work was sincere, and they made sure there were no issues behind the walls or within pipes, and immediately contacted us and asked for our suggestions when they saw something that may potentially cause harm in the future. They even took the initiative of going above and beyond our agreement to ensure that we got our dream washroom, for which we are very appreciative. Mike made the whole experience very knowledgeable for me as I kept in the loop of the entire process, and hence this is why I would contact M & D Builders again for all future home renovation projects.

We hired M&D Buildings to make the the powder and laundry rooms accessible for walker/wheelchair use. Mike was very quick to respond to the initial and all of our inquiries and was always on time for appointments. The work crew arrived on time, as promised. Michael and Adam were skilled, meticulous, and thorough in providing excellent quality work. We have nothing but praise for the work done and we would certainly hire M&D Buildings again.

I am very pleased by the renovations that were done in my condo. Mike Messiha (M&D Builders) as well as their staff provided an exceptional experience from design to completion of work. Mike responded almost instantly to my messages. He is always professional, courteous, and pay particular attention to detail. The quality of work was excellent. Any problems or concerns were addressed in a timely manner and were followed through until resolved. Overall, an excellent experience, I will definitely contact him for my next projects.
