Signature Contracting

My name is Jonathan Ho and firstly, I will disclose that I am a realtor with Royal LePage State. You can look me up if you would like to talk about real estate or about my experience with Signature Contracting, I would love to hear from you. That being said, this is a non-biased and non-paid review. Due to the positive experience I had, I will refer all my clients that require contracting services to at least interview Signature to see if they are a good fit. From the start (Quote and Contract) to finish (Clean up and Touch ups) they were professional, punctual and considerate. The least you can do is set up an interview and decide for yourself. I have run into my share of horror stories so I am glad to have found a go to contractor to add to my team! Whether you hire them or not, your experience will inevitably be different but here is hoping it is as grand as mine!

I almost hit submitted but notice there are stars. As stated, I am a realtor and have a knack for completeness, details and disclosure. If it interests you, here is a break down for my ratings.

Quality of Work 5/5: My wife and I (neighbours too) are extremely impressed by the fit and finish of our bathrooms. They warrant their work, we had a drawer that did not close properly due to the design of the drain. They came out and fixed it immediately.

Stayed on Budget 5/5: As quoted and most contingencies were covered in the contract such as issues with mold or the need to replace studs. Other small things they included as required with no addition or refer to experts as required (in my case a roofer).

Timeliness 4/5: When working, they were always punctual (5/5) however they are busy since they are really good at what they do so you may have to wait for your turn. If something opens up, they may fit you in. I am glad my gut told me to wait on them.

Cleanliness 4/5: They were courteous and careful during the whole process. They did their best to contain the debris during the demolition, they used drop sheets and they cleaned up/vacuumed after every workday. We still had our own dusting and vacuuming to do afterwards.

Communication 5/5: Throughout the project, they asked questions when unsure about the fit and finish we desired. Not afraid to initiate conversation when required yet not over intrusive.

Courteous 5/5: My wife and I were home for the entire duration of the renovation. We both felt comfortable even when a large team was present. Aside from the initial meeting and opening of the door, they were not intimidating and were extremely friendly and personable.

I learned of Signature Contracting through a Real Estate friend. I was not disappointed! From the outset there was professionalism and an attention to detail. The work schedule was outlined at the beginning of the kitchen Reno and there were regular updates through face to face discussions, texts and e-mail. Problems were rectified on a timely basis and the team was knowledgeable, and thorough in their given field of expertise.

I was very satisfied with the end result, when my tired dated kitchen took on a new and thoroughly modern appearance! I would have every confidence in referring friends and colleagues,should they require any renovation jobs to be completed around their home.

I really enjoyed working with Jessie because he was very responsive to emails and texts or any questions or add-ons that I had. He and his crew finished the job within a reasonable time and did a great job.

I will probably use him again next year for my upstairs renos.

Signature Contracting did a great job on our basement. They arrived every day on time and cleaned up before they left. All the guys were very courteous and professional and put up with our constantly barking dog and 2 crazy kids! I was very nervous about hiring a contractor with all the horror stories I've heard, but we had a great experience with Signature Contracting and I would definitely hire them again.

Jessie and his crew did a great job of taping and mudding our basement project. They were very professional and left the basement clean. They will be my first call for any additional work I do in the future.

Chris and the Signature Contracting team did a wonderful job in our home. They managed to fit us in to their tight schedule in order to meet our timelines and we are pleased beyond measure with their skill and workmanship. We have already received many compliments. We will definitely hire them again for future projects.

We recently had our basement completely finished by signature contracting (flooring including subfloor, framing, drywall, bathroom installation, painting, laminate flooring installation as well as having a custom fireplace/cabinet feature wall completed and a custom bar installed). The quality and timeliness of the work was absolutely fantastic. From Day 1 through the end of the project the signature employees made me feel informed, comfortable and accommodated all my needs (and many questions and a few changes along the way). Each and every employee of signature contracting treated my wife, my two young sons and I with friendliness and respect every day they were onsite. Some parts of the job were messy, but the signature guys made sure to lay out runners on the flooring in the main level to prevent tracking unwanted dirt through the house and always cleaned up at the end of each day. The entire project was completed in an incredibly short amount of time and came in right on budget with no surprise costs or hidden fees. I would highly recommend them for any renovation job! Before and after photos have been included.

Was thoroughly impressed from start to end of our renovation. Loved how detailed the initial contract was and the level of communication by Signature regarding the timelines and details of the project. Work was completed with a high level of quality and professionalism. Guys were kind, honest and courteous. Reno was completed on time & was the amount quoted (except for additional items added by us). Loved Jessie and his team and would recommend and use them again in the future!

Signature contracting did a bathroom Reno at my home. They were extremely professional from start to finish. I was very impressed with the quality of craftsmanship and professionalism they showed throughout the process. They went above and beyond our expectations. Thank you so much!

Jessie and the guys recently completed our basement Reno, and it was nothing but a great experience and outcome. They were dead on with thier quote, thier timeline and the customer service we received was top notch. There was no surprises, and when there was an issue the communication was immediate and helped to resolve things. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a Contractor. We are already planning to book them next year from some additional work at our house. Great job guys, it was a pleasure.

Chris just completed a bathroom renovation and we are extremely happy with the result. Chris was professional and always available to answer any questions that we had. The job was completed on budget, and exactly on schedule. It is evident that Chris takes pride in his work by the quality of his workmanship and attention to finishing details. We would highly recommend Signature Contracting to anyone looking for a reliable contractor. Thank you, Chris!

When we were looking for someone to do our basement renovation, we did what everyone else would....we asked around. After getting nowhere, we finally went on trustedpros.ca. On there we found Signature Contracting, and along with other contractors, we asked a few to come in to give a quote.

Chris came in to our home and he was extremely helpful. He looked around and helped us with design ideas and also with great advice on what to do and not to. He also gave us a quick lesson on what pressures we should avoid from other contractors that would cost us more and would not be necessary.

I was impressed at the end of his presentation. He had his iPad with him and showed me the possibilities we could have when it would be all done. He was not pressing me into doing anything I didn't like. The whole visit was about how they could do what we wanted in a timely fashion and with a great quote. It was a done deal.

Chris showed up right on time when he said he would and him and his crew began working on our basement. The framing was done by the second day! Unreal speed. By the end of the 2nd week they were putting up drywall. Overall impressed.

What impressed us the most about Signature was their professionalism. I must have sent 100 emails/texts and they were always answered with courtesy and in a timely manner. Once the project was done they were there to show us around and I was extremely thankful for all their hard work and above all how the basement was done. They included everything we asked for and then some. They even went ahead and repainted after we changed our minds on the colour of the paint. They even did some extra stuff for us such as seal the floors of the storage room and the laundry and install fluorescent lights in the laundry room and the storage room.

Thank You for all your help and great work Signature!

We have thoroughly enjoyed working with Chris, Jessie, & all their crew! They have been fast, professional, polite, answered all of our many questions, and completed everything on time. It looks fantastic, and they have gone above & beyond to make it a great experience. We will definitely recommend them & pass their name along to anyone that is looking for a contractor for a reno job! And if we ever need help with a reno again, we will definitely call them! THANKS!

The bathroom turned out amazing!. We had a total renovation of the bathroom done. Chris and Jessie were always available to answer any questions or concerns we had. Jon was always friendly and the work he did on the bathroom was awesome. We were so happy that we have hired Signature Contracting to do our fence and kitchen renovation in the fall. We highly recommend Signature Contracting!

Chris started the process by giving the quote. For what we wanted price was very good. Read the reviews before calling Signature. One and only quote (risky my wife tells me). Job was started a couple of days later than originally stated, but that was OK, figured that they were busy. Dealt mostly with Chris, Joe and John. All very diligent workers. They have a good crew of guys, easy to talk to and quick to explain what was going on. Any issues were addressed punctually. Contract was met to the fullest and we are very pleased with the outcome of our reno adventure. My wife didn't have to worry, we got,excellent value for our money. I won't recommend Signature to anybody else, but that's purely selfish, because they're already busy enough, and I still need a shed. As it is, if you're looking for a contractor and you want quality work done, this is the company you should hire! We were happy and satisfied and we still had enough money left over to get coffee!

Chris, Jess and their Team were a pleasure to work with! They were professional throughout the whole process . The work was extensive and included removing an existing wall, adding a bathroom, wet bar, office as well as pot lighting, tile work, flooring, a great fireplace and more! They were always prompt at returning our phone calls and emails and I had a lot of questions. Some changes had to be made because of unforeseen problems, but they were quick to address them and offered up some great ideas. They paid attention to every detail and the quality of work is outstanding. They met our budget, small changes were included without additional billings, and major changes were quoted and agreed to on a timely basis. We highly recommend Signature Contracting to anyone planning a home improvement project! To Jess: "YA Man"

We had a great experience using Signature Contracting for our new basement. It included a rec room and a bathroom. They were pro's handling new products including the stone tiles for the shower floor. They paid close attention to details including painting the drop ceiling rails giving it a professional finish that our friends are all impressed with. They were polite and patient with my husband and I since this was our first experience renovating. We will definitely use them again for our next big project.

Chris, Jessie, Jon and Dave did an amazing job on our basement renovation in January! After speaking with 3 different companies and receiving each of their quotes we decided to have the job done by Signature Contracting. We felt the most comfortable with them as they were the most knowledgeable, made great suggestions and were willing to answer all of our questions. We felt confident that they would complete the job in the timeline we had given them and the payment schedule was very reasonable.

They were very thorough about the quality of the work they completed and checked in with us regularly about the current status of the job. We are extremely satisfied with the finished project and would highly recommend them to anyone! This is a great extension to our home and couldn't be happier that we chose Signature Contracting.

Got three quotes to do my basement, and hired Signature to do the job. We chose them as we felt more comfortable with their business approach, suggestions and willingness to work with us on changes during the process. Their contracts are very straight forward, payment schedules are reasonable and they stuck to the timeline. Chris, Jessie, Jon and Dave did a phenomenal job and we are completely satisfied beyond our vision of the completed project. Very good people to work with to the point that they are not just our contractor of choice, but we now consider them friends as well. Give Chris and his group a call at Signature Contracting for all your Reno or HVAC needs. You WILL NOT be disappointed, believe me. Great work guys-we are very very happy!

When we approach renovations we do so with caution and due diligence. After having a great experience, it is so important to spread the word if you find a gem like Signature Contracting. On time, on budget and great craftsmanship. Hard working teams that were polite clean and always consulted with me. Chris is a gentleman that expresses patience and a sound knowledge of any job you present. If you want the job done right the first time call these guys. You will not be disappointed. I encountered a minor issue with a design I had chosen. When it presented to be a problem, I contacted Chris and he provided a solution and solved it immediately. I highly recommend them and plan to have them complete the remainder of my renovations going forward.

Very hard working team, honest and reliable providing quality workmanship. All this at below competitive rates.

Chris, Jessie and their team are professional and communicated with us on a daily basis during the project. They gave us time and information to make decisions and gave us good advice regarding changes to the project.

The team were on time, neat, and when working outside and left because of a rainstorm, they *came back* after the storm to finish their day's plan. We were so impressed.

Jessie and Chris hired excellent sub-contractors (mud-guy, carpets) and all the team were very pleasant.

We hope to use them again in 2015 for other projects!

Chris, Jessie and the rest of the team did a very good job on our basement renovation in Ancaster. They were very particular about the quality of the work they completed. When we had questions, or changes had to be made because of unforeseen problems they were quick to address them.

Small changes were included without additional billings, and major changes were costed and agreed to on a timely basis. Although they worked very hard to complete the job on time, they were a few days late, so I advise others to build in a bit of a buffer if you need work done by a particular date. Would re hire.

We wish to recommend Chris and his team from Signature Contracting. Out of 4 separate estimates, Signature's was the best both with respect to overall cost and schedule. They completed the project on time with no delays and within budget. The workmanship was very good. We are very glad we chose Signature for our basement reno and will be contacting them again on future jobs.

Had air conditioner installed April 2013. We're very happy with the service at the time but when we turned it on this summer it would not work. Contacted Signature Contracting and got the I will call you back response. After 2 more phone calls 2weeks later no response we called another company to service it who indicated it was an installation issue. After contacting them once again with same response I emailed them and was told they would come that Friday. Friday came and they cancelled on me after the time of the appointment. Basically they never came left us with no working air conditioner for June ( with three young kids). Would not honour any warranty since the warranty was due 12 months from installation even though it was their mistake and would charge us a service call. These guys are impossible to get a hold of, ignore phone calls and most f all do not stand behind their work! VERY SHADY BUSINESS MEN!

I hired the services of Signature Contracting & am so happy I did! From the moment I met Chris, I was very impressed with his honesty, knowledge & professionalism. Chris & Sean were both courteous, professional, on time, detailed, & cleaned up every day. Just to show you how dedicated & reliable this company is, Chris even came out to continue the work on the day of the major snowstorm we just had this past week, even though I told him the day before that I would understand if he could not come. If that is not dedication & commitment to excellent customer service, then I don't know what is. Because of the storm, only thing left to do is the backsplash, which Chris will be returning to do to complete the powder room. Timelines & budget were met & the quality of their work far exceeded my expectations. I love my new bathroom (see pics attached)! I would highly recommend Signature Contracting to my friends, family & anyone else in need of home renovations or repairs. Thank you guys for a job well done!

Everything went according to plan and on budget. Questions about costs were handled professionally and fairly. I am very pleased with the work and will have Signature Contracting back.

Very good to work with, and very good rates. We caught them in a busy time of the year, so it took a bit longer (and we were admittedly a small job).Definitely would use Chris and his team again, and are thinking about them for a few bigger jobs on the horizon.

We utilized Signature Contracting to complete our unfinished basement for further living space. They were very responsive in setting up initial meetings and completing a very reasonable contract for the work. Timelines were met and any additional features worked out. The completed project is amazing and we use this space everyday! Our basement is now warm, cozy and a great addition to our home. We would recommend their services for all projects and look to use this company for further home improvement projects.

Thanks again!

I hired Signature Contracting to do a complete basement renovation. I had my own ideas, but throughout the process both Chris and Jessie came forward with different ideas on how better to address my many challenges.

There were many times where I was a bit nervous about the whole process, undertaking a renovation like this on my own, but they were always patient and understanding of my many questions and always reassured me that they would work with me to create a wonderful living area. My girls and I are thrilled with the result. It's been a great process and I know I hired the best team possible. I would work with them again in a heartbeat and would gladly recommend their services to friends and family. They even sent a "thank you" text as soon as they left the property. Great team.

We have an older house we bought a year ago in the Locke St. area. We love this home and having been owners of an old home in the past didn't purchase thinking we wouldn't have to have work done.

Our first problem was the alcove in our dining room sprung a leak. We were lucky enough to find Signature Contracting and we've never looked back. Not only did they do a bang up job that was near impossible due to the tight space between our house and our neighbours we also hired them to install a range above our gas stove and make custom drawers for our third floor attic master bedroom.

We were so pleased with the work and the way Chris and his team conducted themselves. We couldn't have asked for better service. This is very important to us because my husband and I both work from home and a tidy and quiet environment is required for us to conduct business. This is why we are looking forward to having the Signature group back later this month to start basement renovations (full apartment), Laundry room and third floor custom shower. Great guys, wonderful work, easy going and a pleasure to do business with. I will add pictures when the basement and attic are complete.

We had the guys from Signature Contracting come in to our home to relocate our furnace, air and water heater to make the space more manageable. The plan was to have the HVAC moved first and then to get a separate contractor in to finish the basement at a later date. We found Chris and Jessie to be very friendly and approachable. When discussing our plans with them I learned that they do renovations as well. They were exceptionally knowledgeable and were also able to provide us with an estimate on the spot. We were referred to them through a friend in the first place but have being scorned by a contractor in the past I was cautious in retaining further services without first checking out references.

They were very forthcoming and were able to provide me with 3 references and to my surprise at the request of my husband they were able to arrange a visit to the job site that they were on at the time which happened to be a basement apartment. Needless to say I was impressed and we went ahead and hired them for our renovation.

Our project was completed well within our timeline and it turned out even better then expected.

Thanks guys!

I highly recommend Signature Contracting.

We have found them to be reliable,honest,on time,clean and tidy,and competitively priced.

Their work is of the highest quality.

Great Guys to work with!

I had Jess and Chris from Signature Contracting in to do a foundation repair last summer, including weeping tile replacement, block repair & replacement, and rubberized membrane installation. The project was made more complex because I was also having a concrete driveway installed at the same time so the guys had to mange their time well, interact with other contractors, and pacify the neighbors. They did such a good job, I had them also install an underground gas line, BBQ gas line, gas water heater, and a fence. I would definitely hire Signature Contracting again.
