I recently had Andrew and his team perform a renovation on my newly purchased home, which is about 30 years old. The scope of Andrew's work was to remove three load-bearing walls, reconfigure electrical/plumbing/heating, complete flooring, and reposition + renovate a wood-burning fireplace.
From my initial discovery phase and assessing different contractors, Andrew separated himself from the rest with his professional engagement and bevy of experience. Andrew was very precise and detailed in his pre-work, identifying all potential 'surprises' and constraints. I was far more comfortable choosing Andrew and his team to do the work over 5 or 6 other contractors that I interviewed.
Right from the beginning of the project, Andrew's attention to detail and unwillingness to accept anything but perfection was great to see. He was very specific in every action from design to demolition to build. It was eye-opening to watch Andrew and team prepare and custom-fit the load-bearing beams for my project.
One of the most refreshing qualities Andrew brings is his willingness to discuss various options and not be short-sighted or stuck to one solution. Andrew brings various ideas to the table, explains the advantages and disadvantages of each, and worked with me on the most cost-efficient solution while not sacrificing quality/excellence.
Andrew's work is only matched by his sense of humor and good natured spirit. It's a pleasure to watch Andrew work while inserting humor, light-hearted fun, and building a sustainable customer relationship.
I will be working with Andrew again in the future for further projects, and I would highly reccommend him for renovations.
We hired Andrew Parker to demolish our back patio, cellar room, and back entrance to our house. He’s awesome. We didn’t have a clear idea of the extent of the work we originally wanted done, but he patiently walked us through our options with his significant and clear experience as our guide. He’s amiable and a seasoned professional. What he understands so well is the balance between ideal and price, and he sensitively navigated our needs and preferences while respecting our budget. He’s aware of the apprehension about jobs expanding beyond what was originally envisioned, and ensures we’re excellently informed about the implications of proceeding with one option over the other.
We’ve been as satisfied with his work as we were with his design stage consultations. The engineering team he brought in to do the demo and rebuild is top-notch; professional workers that showed up on time and worked hard with winter approaching to ensure every available day was used to progress the job along as quickly as possible. His supervision was professional and consistent, and his communication with both us and our neighbours through the process was great. The finished product looks tremendous, with care paid not only to visual aesthetics, but structural integrity, drainage, safety and security. This is a contractor who I’m pleased to have met and will use without question for my future work.
I hired Par-tek Construction and Andrew Parker to perform a second and third story addition to my 90 year old CabbageTown row house.
Although the design was complete and the building permit was in hand, Andrew managed to add a great deal to the design with his thoughtful and expert insights.
One of his more interesting problem –solving access solutions ( we had no direct access from the front or rear of the row house) was to install a second garage door into the garage, allowing a large ATV scissor lift to enter the back yard, snuggle up to the house and act as an elevator to get roofing and wall refuse down, and new materials up. This worked very well throughout the project. Andrew also contributed to the overall all design by introducing a new ridge rafter that would allow the new third floor ceiling to be 12” higher, resulting in a 9’ ft. ceiling. He also provided quite a bit of engineering for the various structural challenges that come with renovating a 90 year old home. Andrew and his trades were all very professional and courteous throughout the entire project.
I feel that this project would have been much more difficult without Andrew and his trades.
I heartily recommend them to you.

We needed a contractor who could help us sell our condo. The condo hasn't been renovated for over 40 years, and it needed a thorough remake so that it could appeal to today's home buyers.
Par-tek did an excellent job for us in helping us design and fix up our Rosedale condo, to get it ready for sale.
They and Andrew provided excellent advice and work throughout the project. Walls were removed, new baseboard and crown mold, doors, bathroom had new shower glass, lighting and vanity, painted the entire condo, new appliances, new kitchen flooring and engineered hardwood throughout. We used Andrew excellent appliance guy, his real estate agent and even his stager. We couldn’t be more pleased with the result, and heartily recommend them to you.
Par-tek Construction and Andrew were engaged by us to work on several projects to our Victorian building in downtown Toronto.
The first project was to fix some badly crumbling brick faced stairs. Andrew came up with some great ideas and we ended up using ¾” thick marble to cover the steps and exposed porch. The second project, a few months later, was to rebuild and paint our Victorian porch and stairs and security gates below, as well as paint all of the exterior wood for our portion of the building, plus the iron fence and gates. Again, Par-Tek delivered. The third project was to treat our ageing steel fire escape. Par-tek found a terrific rust converter, that actually converts rust to a paintable, inert material. Then painted the entire steel structure with a reliable exterior anti rust paint.
We are very pleased with all of the excellent services and problem solving Par-tek has provided. Each time we engaged them, they came through. We will work with them again.

“Par-Tek Construction performed admirably on our renovation project. They proved to be good listeners to our stringent demands and provided excellent solutions and advice throughout the project. Their trades were courteous and clean, and performed their tasks well. The project was completed on time and on budget and the quality was excellent. This experience was remarkably different from our experiences with most contractors, and we will be bringing them back again for our next project.
I heartily recommend them to you.”
We hired Par-Tek Construction Services to Design, Permit and renovate our basement, a tricky structural wall replacement with a new beam, some minor plumbing and electrical and a new basement window.
We are very pleased with the result. They were professional and courteous throughout the project. Par-Tek staff were knowledgeable and quick. We were amazed at how well the work progressed, with excellent quality.
I would recommend Par-Tek to anyone and look forward to working with them again.
We hired Andrew to help us with our basement renovations. He advised us on permits, architectural design and creative solutions, all while maintaining our budget. He was very pleasant to deal with, prompt at responding to our questions and concerns and always professional. Our basement is turning out exactly how we wanted it to and would not have been able to complete the process without Andrews’s guidance and help. I would recommend Andrew confidently to anyone looking for a Master Planning Consultant. The design, permit, certification process can be costly and confusing for someone who is unfamiliar with the process, Andrew was able to make everything run smoothly, got our required permits quickly and saved us unforeseen costs along the way. I am looking forward to working with him again when we decide to build up!
My wife and I recently engaged Par-Tek to design, permit and renovate an extensive main floor and second floor project. They were brilliant.
The main floor scope was to eliminate as many walls as practical, entirely new kitchen and layout, pot lights throughout, remove all existing flooring and install new hardwood flooring throughout, new powder room, new windows and sliding doors, relocate laundry to downstairs.
The second floor was treated with an entirely new layout, tile, finishes and fixtures to the master bedroom and master bath, along with gutting and refurbishing a new guest bathroom, along with new hardwood floors throughout the second floor.
Andrew, the owner, worked directly with us and our budget to establish a design that would meet our needs. They managed to exceed our expectations and pay strict adherence to our agreed-to budget, no easy feat.
Their fees included the entire scope of work, design, engineering (to remove most walls and install new beams for our open concept main floor), coupled with lots of solid advice regarding sourcing materials, finishes, colors, textures etc.
They even loaned us a few tools when we did some of the work ourselves!
We plan on selling here in a few short years and move closer to downtown.
We will definitely be working with Andrew and Par-Tek again when we do.

Warranty | Our warranty is very straight forward. Five years on all structural work and one year on all finishes, subject to normal wear and tear, and all monies due paid in full. In the last 10 years we have had only two call backs for warranty work. One was for existing pipes that froze, due to poor existing insulation. We made the repairs for the homeowner, at cost, to help them out and maintain a great relationship. We have received two referrals from them since. The other was a L.R. AC outlet. The device was faulty and replaced, free of charge. |
