SG Design & Renovation

We purchased a cottage this summer with the hopes of enjoying it this summer and taking the winter to complete some renovations ourselves with just a little help from a contractor. As soon as we took possession we realized that there was urgent work to be done immediately. I contacted Scott and he was able to start the urgent work right away. He removed an old tub and tile which had been leaking and gave us a new tiled shower which looks fantastic. After we had a couple of weeks to enjoy our place we had Scott come back to start gutting an entire floor. Interior walls were removed, a new powder room installed, a window resized into a garden door, new pot lights, rearranging of plumbing, and taping and mudding of new drywall. It was a large project which Scott completed more than 2-weeks ahead of schedule. Scott worked some long hard days to complete the project, including on weekends. He sent us progress photos via text in the evenings which we were always excited to receive. Like any large project in an older house, there were a few surprises which Scott took care of, and when I added extra scope, the adjusted costs were reasonable. Thank you Scott for getting our place to a point where it is very manageable to for us to put our own finishing touches on this fall/winter.

SG Design and Renovation <<<< Saves the day!

We were right in the middle of a Full blown kitchen Reno when we found the contractor we had originally hired had been grossly over charging for trades as well as materials , not to mention leaving the site in shambles every night when leaving ...there was even one day they had left our entire yard and house unlocked and wide open on a Friday.

That being said, we let that contractor go with no where to turn.

Shortly there after our electrical trades person had asked if he could recommend a well experienced contractor that he knew.

He introduced us to Scott from SG Design & Renovations , Scott was prompt to set up a meeting and discuss the finishing of this project which did not have the cabinets, counter tops , flooring and other important items on order as of this time.

Scott jumped in to save the day and proceeded to work with us to ensure this project got back on track and would be completed in a timely fashion, he quickly ordered all materials required and started to produce awesome quality workmanship as well as correct numerous mistakes left by the original contractor.

Scott had accomplished more in 7 days than the original contractor had done in 30 days.

The project is now complete and everything went according to plan as Scott had stated

right down to all deliveries being 100 % on time, and everything turned out just as we expected it and we are loving it.

This being said my wife and I highly recommend SG Design Renovation for all your at home projects, it was a pleasure meeting Scott and saving the day.

We are so pleased with our new shower. Ecstatic to have the bath tub out & this gorgeous new shower installed. Scott’s work with tiles is stellar.

We would recommend him to everyone doing the same. He is a very hard worker. Very pleasant & very professional as well.

The shower door from Shodor is also a work of art. Scott uses this excellent company to complete his install.

Scott is a true craftsman. Not only did he complete the work for the quoted cost and time, his experience showed in the smooth way the project advanced from initial startup to final clean up without a hitch.

He works with focus and care every day even dealing with the occasional owner distraction.

We told Scott we will stand as a reference anytime he wants and will definately recomend him for any renovation work.

We will enjoy this superb piece of craftsmanship for many years.

We contacted Scott at SG Designs and Renovations after reading many great online reviews for his past work. We wanted our dated, inefficient kitchen completely remodelled, which included: taking out a wall, putting in a garden door to our deck, cutting in a larger kitchen window, new flooring throughout our main floor, baseboards, lighting, a massive kitchen island, and of course all the appliances, cupboards and counters etc. etc. Scott met with us and presented us with great ideas for the remodel, a lot of things we hadn’t even thought of! He wasn’t pushy at all, but gave us many options. He would even contact us in the evening if he suddenly had an idea for the renovation. When our plan was in place, Scott made sure all required materials were ordered so the job flowed with no interruptions due to stock issues. All we had to do was pick everything out. He had it all taken care of and was able to start the job in a timely manner. During the renovation, he would keep us in the loop and keep us informed of his progress. He showed up everyday and always left the house as clean as possible. He actually completed our massive job in less time than we anticipated. Now, the final product - Amazing. We’re completely blown away. Scott’s passion for his work and attention to detail really shows through. To watch our dated, ugly kitchen transform over the last 5 weeks was a crazy experience. We’re in a smaller bungalow and our main floor is completely open concept now and it feels massive! Scott made it very enjoyable. We knew immediately our project was in good hands and, boy were we right. Get Scott over to talk about your project, you won’t regret it. We’ll be hiring him again.

Scott did an amazing job renovating my 35 year old bathroom. His choices of cabinets, vanity, flooring, paint, tub and fixtures was all great. I laughed as I had just so happen to be been eying the same vanity when I got ghosted by someone else. He answered all my questions every step of the way and let me make sure everything was well tested. I’m already looking at getting him back for a kitchen reno.

I hired Scott Gorrie to give me the ensuite of my dreams...and he delivered! The bathroom was gutted. He built a new shower where it had been my closet, so there was plumbing and ventilation to be moved. The walls of half of the shower were done in large white tiles up to the ceiling that had grey veining. There was teardrop metallic accent tiles, small grey hexagon tiles for the floor, a large bench, 3 niches, black framing and the rest was done in glass with black framing. Some silver glitter was added to the grout and it was topped off with a large circular crystal hanging light. A new vanity and linen tower were installed. New medicine cabinet and lights for the vanity and closet as well. The new toilet was installed in a new location too. The floors got in-floor heating and were covered in large soft gtey tiles. All of the tiling that was done was meticulous! Where the shower had been, Scott built a wall and made a new open ended closet for me.

He arrived on time and on the days he said he would. Each day clean up was done before they left. There were delays with getting the vanity top made and getting the shower glass. But he told me about these right from the start.

I would not hesitate to recommend Scott to anyone, and in fact my neighbor is hoping to have him do a bathroom for his basement. He also was on budget. If I could, I would give him 10 stars out of 5!

I found SG Design on Trusted Pros and proceeded to contact Scott for a consultation on my bathroom renovation. He responded promptly and made arrangements to review the disaster scene, listen to my needs, and even provide some recommendations. Scott then drafted a fair and honest estimate of the work as well as an expected start date.

After a brief delay to the start (due to the pandemic), Scott was finally able to attack my bathroom and the end result was beyond expectations. He is well-prepared, energetic and efficient, with tremendous attention to detail. Overall I am very satisfied and would not hesitate to seek or refer SG Design for other projects big or small.

I like every piece of installation. It is a modern kitchen and dining room. I am so happy for his great job. I give his job as five stars of the highest stars. Thank Scott for your great job.

We had been planning and preparing for our basement reno for approximately 1 1/2 years when we got in touch with Scott through Trusted Pros. During that time we came across many complexities and obstacles with our project, to the point that at times we thought our dreams might never transpire. We reached out to numerous resources during this time and finally found Scott. He came on the scene and was able to quickly understand our situation and the issues we were running up against. And more importantly, he wasn't scared of them!

He was able to ask the right questions and provide suitable information relevant to our needs. His experience was extremely valuable to problem solve for some of the concerns we were coming up against and was open and honest about some of the possible issues we may run into in the scope of the project.

He followed up with us often and kept us focused on getting our project underway, all before we had even signed him on as a contractor.

Once we did begin our project we were amazed at how well he had prepared and organized the details of what required completing, and it was a lot! Our house is 120 years old and didn't have access to the basement from within the house, instead it was through an outside door. Installing stairs meant replacing and moving the boiler, hot water tank and all of the plumbing that those jobs entailed. We also moved our laundry, had 3 new support beams installed and a new larger electrical panel put in place.

Scott organized all the trades that these items required and put great effort into ensuring they were the least disruptive to our family as possible.

He is a man that gets things done and truly wants you happy with the result.

We had times where we made changes to our original plans and even though it may have affected his timeline or plans he was always supportive and made things happen whatever came his way.

Scott's communication was amazing. We were never in the dark as to what his next steps were or what the status was of anything. I didn't have to ask questions about those types of things but if I did have questions about things like what my options were if we did want to change something he was always available and quick to respond to any inquiries.

Scott's enthusiasm for his work and planning that he did for it was apparent in everything he did. He was always onsite on time, was there to oversee any trades coming in and left the worksite very clean.

We finished our project in the timeline expected and exactly on budget. He oversaw all inspections with the city and got our final sign off on a project that many said couldn't be done.

We will be forever grateful to Scott for how he's transformed our family's every day life. I feel over the project he became more than a contractor and truly a friend. We will miss seeing him around.

I might have to come up with some other reno we can do to see him again.... :)
