Steve Of'all Skills Renovation Services

I hired Steve and his crew to partially finish my basement. Just a rec room and a 3 piece bathroom. Overall, they did a great job. Quality of the work was very good and the project ended on time. Friends and relatives have commented on how good it looks. Would I hire Steve again for another project? Absolutely!

Oct. 4 to Oct 22. 2021.

Complete reno of basement bathroom.

Extensive modification of floor, walls, electrical, plumbing and venting systems. Steve co-ordinated the plumbing and electrical work. Extensive tile work was done. His crew was exceptional in going about their tasks. Kyle, Eric, Jessie, Zakery and Jacob.all showed patience, exactitude, skill and above all politeness.

Steves guidance and professionalism were always evident.

We would definitely have them back for any future renovations and would highly recommend them to family and friends.

This is an exceptionally good group of very competent tradesman who known what needs to be done and go about it in a well planned and coordinated manner.

Steve and his crew hands down must be THE best in Niagara. We hired them to do a complete renovation of our 1940's home and to build us a new attached garage. Every step of the way, Steve was there to answer any of our questions and address all of our concerns. He was always good for keeping in contact everyday to inform us of what was going on and what to expect in the following days. He and his crew became like family to us and were absolutely amazing through what would typically be a very stressful experience. They showed up everyday and worked tirelessly to give us the home we envisioned. They took all of the ideas that we had and brought them to fruition and our house AND garage are now exactly how we had envisioned them to be. On top of being punctual, they also ensured that the work area was clean after every shift which was very much appreciated. Steve's son, Kyle oversaw much of the work when Steve was being pulled to other jobs and it is safe to say that Steve is not the only one with a lot of skills. For being so young, Kyle is an incredible carpenter and shows an immense amount of passion for the work he does (just like his father). Steve's wife Julie takes care of the invoicing and was also wonderful to work with and was always quick to reply with any transactional inquiries that we had. It has been such an incredible experience seeing our house go from the outdated mess it was to being stripped down to it's bones and then rebuilt to reflect a more modern day look. We couldn't have asked for a more tentative group of guys to complete this work and we are beyond satisfied with the end result! Thank you so much Steve, Julie, Kyle, Jacob and Brandon for giving us this amazing home to live in. You guys are the absolute best and we will certainly miss having you here. Please, do yourself a favor if you are looking to fix up your home; hire Steve Of'all Skills. I can safely say you will not be disappointed.

I was very impressed with Steve and his crew. They demonstrated a great worth ethic- always punctual, gave good advice on project and completed work within the given time frame. Quality of work was beyond expectations. I am having them return for future projects. Thanks Steve and the crew; Silvija

Steve and his team did an awsome job on our basement reno. They were curtious, trustworthy and offered excellent suggestions. The electrical closet and built in shelving were great solutions. The shower is beautiful. We would definitely recommend Steve Of'all Skills Renovation Services. If we ever need another reno we will be calling Steve.

Steve and his crew did an excellent job on my basement Reno. Very professional, courteous, with excellent workmanship. Steve listened if I had a question, and he had great ideas which resulted in an even better result than I could have imagined. I would hire/recommend SOS for any Reno's or remodelling.

Hired sos for a whole home reno Steve and his crew were a great bunch of guys learned alot by watching them in action. Steve proved to us that we can love our home again. I'd hire him again no problem.

Steve and his team did an amazing job it was better than I could imagine. They were very professional and really listened to what we wanted.

I will definitely hire them again and I will also recommend him as well.

Steve and his crew did an excellent job!! Thorough and conscientious, a pleasure to work with. Great workmanship with attention to detail. No complaints. Hope to have them back in the future!

We loved having Steve and his crew here. Steve did two bathrooms ... one on main floor which is totally awesome and one in the basement, a bedroom space and a rec room for us. It was an amazing experience and we feel Steve went way beyond what we expected.

And to the crew : Thanks again Boys for a wonderful job and your time.

We worked with Steve to replace our 80s bathroom that was beyond repair. He didn’t give us the lowest quote, but his confidence and reviews lead us to choose him. The installation had a few hickups as it was an old house, but he handled them like a champ. Overall it was an amazing experience and we feel the value was way beyond what we paid. As we didn’t live on site, he sent us pictures as the work progressed.

Steve Gauthier of Steve of All Skills and his team recently completed a number of renovation projects in my home. For all, he receives a 5- star rating.

Upstairs involved removal of wallpaper, repair, painting and a very resistant moulding, as well as some tricky fixing of the hardwood flooring that had shifted. Our basement was previously “finished”, but with a drop ceiling and after 22 years of use was a complete redo. Steve and the team did an amazing job with a drywall ceiling with pot-lights, adding 2 closets, building a new electrical closet/switch box with shelves underneath such that it looks like a wardrobe. We chose laminate for the flooring which they installed beautifully.

At each stage from the estimate, through to the final invoice, Steve was open to discussions about material, cost, timing and subcontracting. He never pushed his ideas other than a desire to remain on schedule, in consideration of his next customer. On all projects, he pegged the times exactly, even though I had added a few little jobs on the side. He and his team were extremely polite did their best even in foul weather to be considerate of my home.

We are extremely happy with using the services of SOS and his team and will be doing so again for the foyer in May 2020.

First I dd not hire Steve therefore I am not in a position to review his workmanship. I asked Steve to provide me a quote for bathroom remodel and a basement remodel. He arrived on time and I discussed what I was looking for. He stated quite quickly that he was the best and that he could not start any work before jan 2020, which was okay with me. He told me “his quotes are down to the last nail!”

There is little point going into detail of what I wanted suffice to say he was somewhat perfunctory in his approach. He called me back the following day to say his timetable was now March 2020 and that his price would be $15,000 for the bathroom, despite the fact I had asked him to quote two options and that I would be providing some of the material myself. The basement would a further $12,000. Neither quotes included any electrical work, which based on his knowledge of the Canadian electrical code was probably a good job. His quote was far from detailed and definitely not to “the last nail”

My impression was of someone who was full of his own importance and not really interested. Overall not a good experience.

Steve Gauthier, of Steve Of all Skills, was a pleasure to work with; Steve (and the boys) were talented, skilled professionals who amazed us, time and time again, with their ability to exceed our expectations by offering their unique input on our original ideas.

If you are looking for a professional, competitively priced, conscientious, local contractor look no further than Steve Gauthier and his fantastic crew at Steve Of all Skills.

My husband and I were nervous finding a contractor as we live in a very old home. The bathroom was falling apart and it needed significant renovations, along with major electrical and plumbing work. Steve was fantastic to work with. He made the process worry free and from his first visit made me feel at ease. I thought there was no hope for our tiny bathroom, and he came up with a great floor plan. With only 1 bathroom he understood that completing the job on time was important, and he worked quickly and efficiently. Steve was honest, reliable, easygoing, and a great communicator. His estimate was clear, and he stayed in contact with me throughout the renovation process with suggestions and to ensure he was completing the work exactly how we wanted. He was always a phone call or text away. In all Steve and his team completely gutted our bathroom from floor to ceiling, expanded into an adjacent closet, built a beautiful new bathroom, re-framed and hung a new door, completed additional construction work to account for our old home (dropped the ceiling, built up the studs), and worked with his sub-contractors to take care of all of the plumbing and electrical needs. Steve was very courteous of our home and covered up everything while working. All work completed was timely and beautifully done. The tile work in the shower is incredible and we have gotten so many compliments. We were so happy with his work that we asked him to also add 2 new closets during renovations, which look fantastic! It was refreshing to find someone in construction who is honest, reliable and trustworthy. We would not hesitate to hire Steve again and would recommend him to anyone needing renovations.

I have attached a 'before' photo to show the poor state of the bathroom vs the new photos of the bathroom just as it was being finished!

Steve and his crew redid a bedroom for us dry walled painted and new sub floor. Did a great job. Always cleaned up after them selves. We are very pleased with his work and would hire him again. Thanks again Steve.

Steve was professional and did fantastic work. He always showed up as planned and completed the work on time. I highly recommend Steve.

Steve and his crew met all of our expectations with our renovation project. The quality of work, including attention to detail, completing the job in a timely manner on budget, excellent communication throughout the process, friendly, respectful manner of everyone involved in the renovations all were noted and appreciated by my wife and I. We plan on hiring Steve and his crew for future work we would like to have done on our house.

We were delighted with the services provided by Steve. The work was completed on time and on budget. Steve was very proactive in providing progress reports and ensuring that all changes were agreed on before additional work was started. Completely professional!

Steve and his crew were professional. Finished the job on the time line. I was very pleased with the quality of work. For sure I would use him for another renovation. They took down walls added a master bathroom. Updated the main bath. New plywood and flooring throughout the main floor.

We hired Steve and his crew to finish our basement after a leak. He was very professional, courteous and reasonable. He showed up when he said he would and completed the work in a timely fashion.

Even with a few hiccups dealing with our 100 year old house the job was done above and beyond our expectations.

We highly recommend Steve and his crew and will hire him again in a heartbeat.

Steve and his team were professional. While they discovered unexpected difficulties with our ceiling, Steve recommended and produced exceptional results. We could not be more pleased with the stone on our fireplace and the painting. I would recommend S.O.S as a contractor producing great results.

Thanks again Steve, Eric and Jacob.

Was a absolute positive experience with Steve and staff. Very easy going, professional, cost effective, and over all a pleasure.

With the overwhelming chore of redoing an original 1970 basement, Steve took in stride and completed quickly and very efficiently.

We couldn't be anymore thrilled with the quality of workmanship and the finished product was far beyond our dreams and expectations.

Would have no problems highly recommending Steve of all Skills to my direct family members,let alone random potential clients to Steve, whom I've never met.

Sincerely,

I hired Steve to repair drywall, paint, install trim/baseboards and vinyl flooring. His quote for the work was fair and reasonable. He let me know how long it would take and finished accordingly without delay. He showed up on time and regularly. I appreciated that he was always easy to contact and when issues arose he was quick to discuss them and get my approval before proceeding. I am thrilled with the quality of the work. It was a pleasure to deal with an honest and knowledgeable contractor and I recommend him highly.

Contractor was excellent. Work was performed on time and in a very satisfactory manner. Contractor was very receptive to changes to original scope and very accommodating.

Steve was so candid about everything I asked of him and saved us some money in suggesting an option for another job. The communication was excellent, he and his staff were very polite and courteous. I am absolutely thrilled with his work, very thorough and quick! Will definitely be our go-to for any future work. Thank you!

Our goal was to add a shower to our bathroom. Steve did a total renovation, gutting it down to the frame. Installing everything new, including a window and exhaust fan. From start to final touches Steve did a fantastic job, paying attention to detail. He showed up when he said and would clean up after a day of work. We now have him working on other rooms. We would recommend Steve to anyone looking for superior workmanship, he also goes above and beyond to help with advice.

Steve was recommended to us by our electrician, also a Handy Canadian member, to enclose the new 200 amp electricity panel that was installed and the gaping hole that left in the wall. Steve came down right away, after handling another job, and assessed what was needed and within in a day he had us an estimate. We agreed and he showed up promptly the day we arranged and made the enclosure an exact match to our closet door in the same room. His attention to detail was awesome and so we have what looks to be a mini-closet on the wall and everything matches exactly right down the valence he applied at the top.

We have already got another job lined up for Steve in the near future and we would recommend him to anyone needing the many handy services he can provide.

Thanks Steve for the great work!!

Had a small drywall repair project that ran into trouble. The vendor's colour match for the paint wasn't close. Steve tried a second vendor still no better. Steve kept insisting that I had to be satisfied even when I said I would live with the second batch. I was suprised that the final bill was equal to the estimate even though the additional costs for paint and travel time was 1\2 of the estimate. He stood behind his work and his workmanship was excellent. Oh and I had a ceramic tile that was lose and he brought adhesive and repaired it as a courtesy!
