Good quality work by Seven Pillars, the bathroom looks great. We were very pleased by the craftsmanship performed by Scott and the trade persons. Both Eric and Scott honest and trustworthy managers with good ideas and excellent experience with home renovations.
We had contacted Scott at the beginning of last year looking into a basement development option, as we mulled over whether or not to proceeded Scott kept in touch with us and was more helpful then could have been. He was very understanding of our situation and was extremely helpful, and after a year we decided to go through and finish our basement Scott was helping us the same day. We anted to keep the basement finished with the same finishing as the main, and the finished result was a perfect replica. We had a few extra lines run through the top floor as an added job and there were completed better then I could have asked for. Their team of tradesmen could not have been nicer or more talented, in six weeks we never once felt like our house was under construction.
Seven Pillars was hands down the best choice we could h ave made, we had cheaper quotes but the few dollars we paid extra was more then paid back in comfort and workmanship. We would use them again in a heartbeat.
Thank you Scott, Eric and the seven pillars team.
Right from the beginning, Eric and Scott were great to deal with. They got back to us promptly and delivered a professional estimate quickly. The quality of their work and attention to detail were stellar; any minor issues that we noticed were dealt with quickly. They were open to changes and quick to communicate any issues they ran into. The tradespeople they brought in were also friendly and courteous, and took real pride in doing a good job.
The only major issue we had was with an outside company that was contracted to provide custom-built cabinetry for the mudroom; what should have been a one-day installation turned into months of waiting for items to be re-ordered, fixed and re-installed. To their credit, though, Seven Pillars kept the pressure on the supplier and kept us constantly in the loop with their progress.
What was once a useless laundry room is now a functional mudroom, and a dingy unfinished basement is now our favourite part of the house!
It had been about 5 years since Eric and his team at Seven Pillars had finished our basement and seeing him again was like visiting an old friend. I explained to them that the end of the HDMI cable that had been run and secured through the now finished ceiling had broken off and repair did not work. At the time they were building, they were unable to use conduit, so the cable had been securely fastened making removal of the old cable a risky and complicated process.
My thought was to run a new cable through the crown molding they had put up to avoid having to punch a hole in the ceiling but Eric had felt that he could do better and not risk any damage to the ceiling or the molding.
His team came in, and using their experience they had managed to run a new cable WITHOUT putting a single hole in the walls or ceilings and they did it free of charge wanting only to keep a customer happy and to prove that they could do it! and commitment to maintaining a job they had finished 5 years ago speaks volumes to their character and dedication to excellence!
I have, and will continue to recommend Seven Pillars to anyone in need.
After hiring two appalling contractors that left us without a washroom we hired Seven Pillars and Eric stepped in and saved the day by removing the horrific workmanship left by the previous contractor. Eric was able to provide us with a working finished washroom in record time, from reinstalling the bathroom window to the ceiling fan to the recessed medicine cabinet, Erics plumbing ability and craftsmanship is evident everywhere in our renovation. The cost was within budget, communication was extremely good, and both time wise and craftsmanship were superb. I will not hesitate to hire Eric at Seven Pillars to do our basement reno and a second washroom.
Thank-you again Eric. May God be with you and your family.

Thank you Glenn for this very kind note. We hope to be of service to you and your family in the near future.
Best Regards.
Scott and his team finished our basement and my bottom line up front is that they did a fantastic job. I got a number of quotes prior to going with Seven Pillars and my advice for anyone considering them is that you get what you pay for. There were several quotes that came in cheaper, but I wanted quality work and no hassle (in terms of permits and inspections). That guarantee of service and quality work is ultimately why I went with Seven Pillars.
During the actual work, their team was very responsive and open to change requests. I had no concerns about the security of the home while they were working. After the work was completed, they continued to follow-up to make sure everything was working correctly.
My advice for anyone considering Seven Pillars - You will get cheaper quotes elsewhere, but the quality of work and hassle free service will likely not be there. Spend the little bit extra cash and have it done correctly the first time.
Seven Pillars was a dream to work with. We only required about 350 square feet to be developed, but Eric and Scott treated the project with the same type of care and dedication had it been a 1000 square foot development.
There were no issues with tradespeople coming in and out of the house, everyone was respectful and we were always notified which days there would be people in the house. We were especially impressed at their response when we notified them that someone had forgotten to take their shoes off and left a very small mark on our carpet. Eric and Scott very quickly handled the minor situation promptly and professionally and we remained confident in their project management from beginning to end. Their professionalism and friendliness was incredibly refreshing and appreciated.
Any issues that arose were dealt with quickly, and we always felt our needs and requests were a priority. Communication was constant and turnaround for responses was almost always immediate. Working with Scott, Eric, and Brad was a true pleasure and we would hire them again for future work in a heart beat.
They did everything we asked of them. Price was not as good as I would have liked but feel that they did their best in keeping costs down. This company uses a web app for communication and billing. It didn't work perfectly and as a result our project was delayed. When problem was identified this company did work to resolve it. Owners are easy to work with and are accommodating.
This was our first experience with a major renovation and with using a contractor and we were very happy with our experience with Seven Pillars. From the first time meeting Eric for the consultation it was clear that he is extremely knowledgeable and helped us to see opportunities within our renovation project that we hadn't even considered. Eric and his team worked hard to stay on schedule to ensure we could move in as quickly as possible as we were living with family while they renovated our home. Eric is a perfectionist and when it comes to home renos that's exactly what I wanted! Although the flooring took longer than expected it was because certain aspects of the installation were not up to Eric's standards and needed to be re-done. Although this may have pushed the project back slightly, I would rather have it done as best as it could be instead of just moving forward. I would highly recommend Seven Pillars and plan to hire them again when we renovate our basement.
I would highly recommend Seven Pillars for your next bathroom project. Upon seeking multiple quotes and narrowing it down to 3 similar companies, Seven Pillars ranked in the middle of the 3 in terms of cost, but we selected them anyway since they are the highest rated company in the 'bathrooms' category on Trusted Pros - and they did not disappoint. Seven Pillars completed the project on-time and on-budget, kept us in the loop with a few surprises that arose, and made things right at no extra charge when a faulty sink was delivered by a supplier. During the project, we/they also suggested several extra add-on items, which they were able to incorporate into their schedule and charging only a fair nominal fee. To top things off, their staff are friendly and helpful. No need for you to search any further - hire Seven Pillars!
