Sun Rise Renovations & Property Management

I contacted Larry of Sun Rise Contracting to completely renovate my bathroom.

The project included new sub floor, new celing, new walls, installation, wiring, toilet, sink, soaker tub, shower doors, ceiling fan, light fixture and shelving,ceramic tiles on floor and wall. All the plumbing was replaced including the stack. We also put in a another door from the bathroom to the master bedroom.

I am pleased with Larry's work and plan on using him to redo my basement and kitchen in the new year. His price was fair and the required down payment was minimal. Pictures of the process and finished product can be provided to anyone who might be interested.

Feedback from Dorothy in Scarborough Ontario for basement renovation for Handy Canadian.

I looked through the Handy Canadian directory for a local contractor in the Scarborough/Pickering area and contacted Sun Rise Contracting at 905-576-1060. Larry Bond responded to my call for a free estimate with respect to a basement renovation. He promptly came out to my residence and I felt very comfortable with his presence and business sense. He understood my request and explained to me what needed to be done to finish my basement into two separate areas, one being a bedroom the second a living space. He also finished the bottom of the stairway, with a separate entrance between my laundry area and the new living space.

He provided me with a written quote within 6 hours and asked for a fair deposit for starting materials. He also made various suggestions, recommended above the quote for me to think about.

The overall quality of his workmanship was really good and he kept the area clean.

The work he completed included framing, bulkheads for ductwork, 12 pot lights, three dimmer switches and three new doorways. He completed new dry wall throughout, including walls, ceiling and several bulkheads He plastered the entire area and brought it to a finish, then added new trim and door casings. He primed all areas and finish painted the entire basement,

When the quoted work was completed he suggested a new sub floor as well as some 12.5 mm laminate for the flooring. It looks great.

This contractor�s workmanship, commitment to good public relations and focus to his clients� needs is highly recommended by both myself and my husband. He is still completing more work for us in our home and we have referred him to several friends and family members. You will not go wrong hiring this contractor because he cares and overall he is fair.

Thanks Larry

We hired Larry Bond to renovate our basement (i.e. ceiling and taping/plastering) based on his reviews, 5 star rating, referral, pictures of his work that he provided and his reasonable price. Our experience with Larry started off positive as he was very courteous, timely and was totally focused on our project. However, we were disappointed with the quality of the finished product as several of the walls weren�t straight, sanding and the plastering were done poorly in various areas of the basement and the job wasn�t fully completed. There have been several contractors and painters that have come by since Larry has left and commented on the poor finish of Larry�s work. After this job, I question Larry�s 5 star rating.

Furthermore, early on in the project I mentioned to Larry that one particular bulk head wall wasn�t straight at all (i.e. had a bump and was bent), he assured me that he would make it straight by the end of the project. When it came time to make the final installment to Larry, I was a bit hesitant as the wall still wasn�t straight and there were many other areas that required his attention. However, Larry assured me that he was trustworthy and that we will work on the defective areas including the wall until I was satisfied. He also told me that if we couldn�t make it straight, he would tear it down and rebuild it. Now that the project is done, the wall still isn�t straight and I believe Larry had no intention of tearing down the wall to make it straight. I feel this was an empty promise just to get his payment. Word of advice, no matter what the circumstance; never make the final payment until the job is completed to your satisfaction. This applies to Larry or any other contractor. Larry did return to fix the deficiencies but starting complaining that he was spending too long on our project. As a result he left various areas unfinished and had the gall to say that we should have the painter finish those areas even though we had paid him to do the job. If Larry had spent the time to initially produce a quality product, he wouldn�t have needed so much extra time in fixing his own work. Now I will have to hire someone to complete the work that Larry was supposed to do. This review shouldn�t come as a shock to Larry as I have voiced my concerns to him without any success. You can contact me at aubabbar@yahoo.ca if you require further information.

Larry is a very professional individual who did several jobs for us and showed great knowledge, honesty and integrity thoughout the process. His honesty was refreshing and we have no problems recommending him to anyone. We will be using Larry again in the future for our families and friends as well as our own work. Highly recommended, excellent service. You will not go wrong using this gentleman for your work.

Larry from Sun Rise was chosen from handycanadian.com to repair a wall and as an unplanned decision when he arrived to do the repair, I hired him to paint my entire condo. His work was fantastic. He was extremely pleasant, accomodating, and got the jobs done quick. I was thrilled to find that he had cleaned everything up after the jobs as well. I would highly recommend Larry for any work and will definitely contact him for any future needs.
