Sonoma Contracting

Mike and his team were professional and knowledgeble. They were great to work with. The finished basement was better than we expected. They finished within the estimated time frame and pretty much on budget. I would use them again without hésitation.

My husband and I hired Mike and Sonoma. We did know him but based on great reviews moved forward with a partnership. We loved working with him and his entire crew. They are reliable, respectful and take great pride in the great work that they do. I was very happy and we have since hired Sonoma for another project. I would highly recommend Mike's business sense, personable natural and trusted reliability.

I can not recommend Mike and Sonoma Contracting enough! Especially if you are a first time home buyer (like me and my girlfriend are). Your first renovation is always so daunting but we find ourselves very lucky to have found Mike. We had gotten quotes from around 5 general contractors, and even though some were slightly cheaper than Mike (slightly, his prices are very very reasonable) they didn't seem nearly as sincere, professional, nor did they have his reputation.

The manner in which he conducted the inspection for the initial quote had us blown away. He is very detailed oriented, he always picks up his phone no matter what the hour, he always follows up and gives honest feedback, and man he's fast!! He promised us that everything would be done in two weeks, everyone else said between 4 weeks to 2 months, we didn't think that it was possible but lo and behold in two weeks we were ready to move into our new home! :) I wish I have pictures to show you but we still have a lot of painting left to do and I don't think it would serve the quality of his work any justice if we post pictures right now. I will try attaching them later if its possible. Anyways please feel free to approach me for a recommendation if you have any questions and/or queries.

Mike and his team were professional, on time and on budget! The quote was fair and no unexpected expenses were added to the project. The renovation was done exactly how I had hoped it would and I would absolutely hire Sonoma Contracting again for any future needs. As a small business it's nice to know that no project is too big or too small for the team. I would highly recommend them!

We would not hesitate to use Sonoma contracting again Mike and his crew were great.

We had a GREAT experience with Sonoma Contracting building our basement from the ground up. Mike and Aldo were always so pleasant to deal with and very responsive. They gave us the opportunity to have a very fluid design plan and never batted an eye if we wanted to make changes. Any request, big or small, was always met with a very happy “Whatever you want!” We appreciated this so much because it’s hard to know what the plan on paper will look like in reality. Also, all of Mike’s subcontractors were top notch too. The framers, plumbers, electricians, tile setters, painter, etc were all very professional and great to deal with. We were in very good hands from start to finish and without a doubt would happily enlist Sonoma’s services in the future. If you’re considering hiring them, feel free to ask Mike for our number and we’ll gladly chat with you. Or better yet, come see their work!

Mike and his crew were very professional. Their work was done in a timely matter and the finished job was amazing. The quality of work was outstanding and everything was done with fine detail. Mike was always available when needed to answer questions. The basement needed to be done within a specific time limit and Mike and his crew was able to complete the job without effecting the quality of work. Mike was also there to offer some references when other jobs were required. The basement looks fantastic and we would definitely recommend and/or use Mike again.

Generally a good experience in that the finished product is exactly what we wanted, at a cost we were comfortable with, and was delivered within acceptable time.

One way communication could have been improved right at the outset would be line-item prices for each item in the quote. That would help the customer to make decisions about inclusions/exclusions during planning to budget accurately, and allow the impact of any extras or deletions during the project to be clearly understood before final billing..

Re-work was required in a few instances due to miscommunication. Examples included one wall that was initially painted the wrong colour and stairs that needed to be stained a second colour as well.

Schedule of work subject to last-minute changes but float built into schedule allowed over-all delivery within agreed timelines.

Owner, subcontract trades, and post-reno cleaners were all very pleasant to deal with.

Mike was a pleasure to deal with. Normally responded in 24 hours or less. William was the fellow that actually did the painting. 2 coats in the master plus trim. Also did the trim in the bathroom, and a portion of the stucco ceiling. He did a nice, neat job. I'm happy I found Sonoma and wouldn't hesitate to use them again should the need arise.

Recently I had the pleasure of having a kitchen installed by Mike and his crew. I couldn't have been more pleased with the results and the thought and care that they put into it. They knew exactly what I wanted and needed and delivered on all accounts. Mike and Eric are great guys, polite, helpful, knowledgeable and pleasant. All in all it was a great experience and look forward to future projects. Thanks to everyone at Sonoma.
