I spoke with many contractors and got a number of estimates. You hear so many horror stories these days about contractors it was hard for me to know who to hire. Then Dave from Smart City Reno followed up with me one day on the phone and I felt reassured that they would be a credible company to go with. I did not regret my decision and I would highly recommend Smart City Renovations. They replaced my old out of date bathroom and renovated the ceiling in my basement with new drywall and pot lights. They also suggested ways I could enhance my renovation for very little money and we added an accent wall with wood flooring that I’m thrilled with. I have to give them full marks for their services because the whole process was enjoyable. They clean up after each work day and they are simply great people to have working in your home.

Smart City Renovations has received employee and/or sub-contractor complaints
Complaint: This company is established by Kiki Phukan and Doug Cook. The couple (from Ajax) previously ran failed staging company and interior design company before making the transition to renovations. Neither is a licensed contractor, and neither has any experience in construction whatsoever, not even knowing the difference between a drywall screw and a self-tapping metal screw (which Doug asks subcontractors to use on drywall!). They use all kinds of wrong products in their projects, cut corners to save a buck whenever they can, and more often than not they compromise the safety and structure of your home. On the first project I worked with Doug he decided not to insulate one of the basement walls without telling the customer. On the second project, he decided to compromise the floor joists and a load bearing exterior wall in order to run his plumbing, again without notifying the customer (two elderly couple) about the structural risk created.
Doug conveniently goes by a fake name (Dave Struthers) to protect himself from lawsuits by his unpaid subcontractors he hires on Kijiji (including me). They have run under business names such as: Reveer Canada, Smart City Reno, Smart City Painting, and Milestone Renovation (all within two years). By the time you discover the damage they have left behind, they would be operating under a different business name, using different phone numbers, and Doug would be calling himself Dillion.
