Sunnymede Holdings

We had a crazy idea to add a second floor to our 1500 sq foot rancher, Taylor & Steve of Sunnymede Holdings made it a reality. We now have a show stopping 2 story home with enough space to gather our friends and family.

From concept to reality, Taylor & Steve were on top of everything. The budget stayed within our limits, the timeline was on track and they kept in touch, involving us in the process every step of the way. All of their trades were courteous, clean and excellent craftsmen.

Steve, Taylor & crew are awesome! Great guys and do great work!

We hired Sunnymede and they did an excellent job. They did new hardwood floors throughout our house, all new baseboards, window casings, crown mouldings and helped us get rid of our popcorn ceiling (thankfully!). They also framed in our dining room to make a 4th bedroom and added a closet. We will certainly contact Sunnymede when we are ready for our next major renovation.

This summer (2014) Steve and his son Taylor built an addition onto my house. I had a vision as to what I wanted and after discussing it with Steve left it up to them to see it through. Well... I was not disappointed. From the foundation to the roof all work was professionally done by Steve, Taylor and the required sub trades. To complete the transformation, I also contracted Steve to install all new windows, and an excellent job was done on that as well. The before and after photos say it all.

From Lisa & I, we thank you for a job well done.

In 2013/2014 Steve did some renovations on our home with the view on getting it ready to sell. Steve came up with some great ideas for updates that we would not have thought of, as well as fixing some long standing issues with the home. The result was great, our home showed really well and sold in a matter of days.

In 2012 Sunnymede built a new home for us in Ocean Park. Steve was on board right from lot selection through to completion of a large new custom home with a budget in excess of $700,000 for construction not including the land.

I have known Steve personally and professionally for about 25 years and recommend him highly as a top quality professional builder. He has excellent trades people on board that show up on time, do quality work and have followed up on any minor items to my total satisfaction. During the process he constantly was adding value with material selection and most notably a design change correction that would have been a major error on ceiling height on the second floor.

I am a professional real estate Appraiser and for Banks and Credit Unions financing his projects I have appraised numerous homes built or renovated by Sunnymede . Based on many years of looking at his product there was no one else that gave me the comfort I was looking for when we decided to select a builder for our first new home in over 20 years.

We are exceptionally happy with the finished product which was completed in July of 2012. The process took the better part a year and Steve's fee was very reasonable in light of the quality of the finished product.

I am happy to offer my best reference for Sunnymede.

This is the first home that we built. Steve and his crew from Sunnymede were very helpful from the very beginning to the very end. We appreciated their professionalism, the ability to stick to their schedule and deal with any problems that arose, as well as their input. Steve was open to our suggestions and tried to make them work as best he could. If he knew it wouldn't work, he told us so, which normally turned out to be the best decision. If we were to build again, we would not hesitate to ask Steve and his guys to build our next one too!

In the fall of 2009, we decided our house was ready for some major renovations. The bathrooms needed to be updated and we wanted to increase the size of our master bedroom which included creating more closet space. We also wanted new windows, exterior siding and trim as well as interior ceilings, baseboards and crown molding.

We were looking for a contractor that could handle a large and complex project from beginning to end. Sunnymede came highly recommended, and we had seen several of their homes which were attractively designed and finished. We asked Steve to meet with us to talk about our renovation. On the first meeting, Steve made us feel confident that we were dealing with a skilled and experienced contractor.

From the start of the project, Steve was able to use his knowledge and experience to help us refine our ideas and provide suggestions for the overall design. Sunnymede started on time and coordinated all of the sub contractors, ensuring that each stage was kept on schedule. Plumbing, drywall, tile, and painting were closely monitored and maintained the high standard of quality set by Sunnymede.

We are very happy with the work that Sunnymede has done, and would highly recommend their services to others.

Sunnymede Construction recently completed a basement renovation for us which we are thrilled with. Steve and Taylor were incredibly helpful through every stage of the project, from helping us clear the junk out of our basement through selection of interior decor to installation of closet shelving. The subcontractors they brought in were pleasant and helpful. I always knew what stage we were at and what to expect in the next few days and weeks. What I appreciated most about working with Steve was his easygoing demeanour... he encouraged us to take the time to make decisions that were right for us. This renovation could have been very stressful for me but Steve was very clear with me about what decisions needed to be made and when which made it much easier. When I was uncertain about choosing colors, tiles etc, he offered seasoned opinions. Our project came in on time and on budget and we would recommend Sunnymede Construction to anyone without hesitation.

Steve has done a lot of building and renovation work for us as well as for some of our friends and family members. The aspect of his work that everybody finds most impressive is his natural eye for design and ways to optimize the space he is working with. The result is that the work he does results in owners being able to maximize the space they have indoors and outdoors and also live in a home with the most modern, yet tasteful design features.

In one case, he transformed a rather tired house on a large unkempt lot so thoroughly and cost effectively that we bought it ourselves. Shortly after we moved in, he suggested ways that we could further modernize the kitchen and bathrooms without spending a huge amount of money. Once again, we were amazed with the transformation and still live in that house today.

In almost every case, he only contracts minimal architectural design work, preferring to do the bulk of the creative work himself, resulting in each home having a trademark look and feel that is uniquely his.

There are good builders, and there are talented builders, but Steve is both.
