We reached out to Dario for a basement renovation, and the communication throughout the process was exceptionally clear and detailed. Dario not only understood our requirements but also provided comprehensive explanations, making it easy for us to grasp every aspect of the project. The actual renovation work was executed with precision, resulting in an outcome that exceeded our expectations. Furthermore, the attention to cleanliness after completion showcased a high level of professionalism. Overall, our experience with Dario was seamless, and we are thrilled with the flawless transformation of our basement.
I had contacted Dario about an issue with the floor rotting on my first floor tenant's bathroom. He came by the very next day to do an estimate and started giving me good advice right away about what needed to be done and where I could save money on the renovation. Dario was also full service but flexible about the level of my involvement; for the materials I did not want to deal with, he picked them up for me after sending me pictures for approval as he was always cognizant of remaining within budget throughout the job. All in all, I am extremely satisfied with the quality of his work and his reasonable prices. I found him to be a solid, trustworthy guy the moment I started talking to him and he did not prove me wrong throughout the project.
Fast, professional and friendly service.
Work done: Removal of old vanity, tile area and install new vanity, mirror, fan, led lights.
We are delighted with the work Dario did in our bathroom, it looks fantastic.
Our only regret was not involving him sooner in our renovation plans!
We contacted Dario for our renovation project. He gave us many ideas for the project and the price was fair. He is very knowledgeable and he can literally fix anything. The renovated spaces look great and we are satisfied and happy with the work done by Dario and his team. We highly recommend them.
Dario and his crew did an excellent and efficient job removing a load baring well in our living room. Constant communication was key for us and Dario was always able to keep us in the loop. Price was fare and he was even able to refer other workers we needed for other jobs. Thanks Dario.
Dario and his team has done great job for reinforce the basement main beam supports, in the crawl basement of Plateau. It was not easy to work there, they paid lots of attention with responsibility and professional skills. They brought tailored made steel supports, didn't very good installations with the existing ones.
They are honest, always told us to avoid unnecessary repairs.
I had a great experience with Dario Palumbo and his team. I reached out to him in mid-November regarding a partial bathroom reno. He told me he could pass by in a few days to conduct a free estimate. I asked him if he could come sooner, since it wasn’t simply a matter of aesthetic—our bathroom ceiling was leaking. Hard.
Long story short, he reorganized his priorities and made it happen.
Within a week-and-a-half of my initial call, he started the job. Now, I should mention that my experience with previous contractors has taught me that they often split their time across multiple jobs at once, sometimes delaying yours indefinitely while they bounce around elsewhere. In the world of home renos, deadlines are loose.
So, when Dario assured me he’d get this done before the holidays, I took it with a grain of salt. But, over the course of the next two weeks (Mon-Fri), he did just that. Frankly, it was hard enough to find a contractor who’d answer the phone during COVID times, let alone someone who’d organize his schedule to focus on one job at a time.
THE WORK:
My partner and I live in a second-floor condo in a three-story ‘restored’ building in Saint-Henri. By ‘restored’, I mean shabbily renovated to make it easier to flip. As you can imagine, beneath the decent facade is an aging structure waiting to crumble. In fact, the leaking ceiling was only half the problem.
For context, we also had mold growing there for many months and it appeared to be propagating faster. This was due to a shoddy ventilation system that spewed air into another part of the house instead of outside. It was a growing health concern, as my partner has respiratory issues. All that said, here’s a breakdown of the work Palumbo Construction did:
He removed the entire ceiling down to the joists.
He found/repaired the culprit of the leak (our neighbour’s leaky toilet valve. Gross.).
He closed the former vent and created a new vent system that meandered its way through our bathroom ceiling, along our kitchen cabinets, and past the storage locker on the balcony.
He removed the rotted subfloor beneath the bathtub (making it level).
He installed a new bathtub and shower set.
He installed a trap so we can actually access our shower valves in the event of an emergency.
He took the walls down to the brick then built them back up (actually making them plumb).
He redid the tiles with excellent symmetry.
He added a vent to our oven hood (as there had only been a fan previously) and ran it parallel to the new bathroom vent.
He concealed the two new vents running atop our cabinets by installing a seamless bulkhead.
We’ve been using our bathroom now for almost a month and haven’t had any problems. Safe to say, we’re very happy with the work. His colleague, Daniel, and plumber, Michel, were also very courteous and experienced.
As a person, Dario is fair, dependable, and experienced (~30 years, I believe). He is a little rough around the edges, though, which you’ll notice within the first few minutes of speaking to him. I can see how some people might construe him as rude, but I never had any issue with that. Rather, I’d say he’s just an old-school gruff Italian dude.
The only con was that they left behind some construction debris (including the old vent) which I had to get rid of. That’s not a big negative, as I understand oversights happen. But it’s important to mention this in the interest of providing a well-rounded report of my experience.
VERDICT
I will definitely be calling Palumbo Construction again. Dario Palumbo is a contractor I’d readily recommend to my friends and family. Ask about the ‘Sunday Sauce’.
