We have worked with John & his team with Toro Renovations for several of our house projects. John is very easy to work with, has a diverse knowledge base, is punctual, keeps to his estimated timelines & has gone above & beyond to make sure we were happy with the work. His crew is always on time, is tidy & incredibly professional. Would highly recommend for any project large or smaller. Look forward to working with Toro Renovation again.
I contacted Toro Renovations re repairing damage to my garage door frame. We spent a little time back & forth via email to work out exactly what repairs were required and the cost for labour & materials.
He arrived on the agreed upon day & set straight to work. The repair was well done & looked great. He spent time explaining what was done & left half a tube of caulking if I wanted to do the other door frame (2 door garage). He sweep up after & took away the garbage. There was no attempt to “up” the price after (as sometimes happens).
Overall I was VERY happy with the workmanship & price. It’s very difficult to spot the repair. The only thing that gives it away is some trim around the door as that style is no longer available. The new section is plain as opposed to a slight bevel cut. I had sent pics of the trim before & we discussed the change before work started.
I would HIGHLY recommend Toro Renovations for any work.

John is a trusted contractor that will tell you precisely the way it is. He gave very trustworthy advice with regards to repairing my garage structure after it was hit by my neighbour's SUV.
I would recommend John to anyone needing general contracting services. He uses quality materials and his workmanship is top notch. After the job was completed, he removed all of the debris and my garage looks just like new again.
He came on time, and delivered on all his promises. I highly recommend Toro Renovations for all of your general contracting needs.
Thanks again, John!
We are very happy with the service provided by Toro Renovations for the renovation of our 100+ years house in Toronto Riverdale area. The renovation included the whole first floor down to studs (changed into an open concept) with a new kitchen, the rebuilding of the mud room from scratch, the top floor bathroom relocation/remodelling, external siding, and the corresponding utilities throughout the house. John was very patient with our numerous questions and requests, always listening carefully and explaining what he thinks is the best forward when discovering new issues along the process (like finding asbestos in the floor for instance).
John has great trades and provided full service, while driving himself schedule and quality of works. We would recommend John for similar works without hesitation.
John from Toro Renovations was excellent in delivering the finished product for my basement. All my goals were met and he did some extra work without charging more. Most contractors don't do this and will charge extra for every single little thing.
He will get an excellent crew to do the work specifically for each part of the process and not just get a "jack of all trades" to do everything, this ensures you will get the best quality of every single part.
All work is done correctly and no cutting corners which is good. Use Toro if you want something done correctly, don't go to the cost cutting method and get the cheapest quote which will give lower quality finishes.
John and his team were fantastic. Don't think twice about hiring.Toro. He was able to BUILD my vision of a vintage law office as in Atticus Finch. He was able to use the old beams as part of the process and incorporated them into the functionality of the space. Was able to restore the mantle which had been discarded in the cellar and restore two antique weathered doors for main office as well as build bathroom with old style look, kitchenette etc The town historian said the place really was in keeping with the towns past and was spot on. HIRE THESE GUYS!
John and his team at Toro did an incredible job of transforming an empty gutted space into a stunning,, professional law office for my practice. They were able to incorporate the old timber beams into the design and restore an unused discarded mantle and century old doors to bring the vision I wanted to life.
All I can say is don't think about it....just hire John and his toro crew.
Pros:
- Best communication reward. Always prompt with text, email, and phone calls. We never waited more than a day for a reply
- Value: prices were very fair in my opinion and we trusted him with quotes
- His traits were very good and kind.
- The overall quality of the work was very good too and whenever there was something we didn’t like, they would fix it.
Cons:
- Initial dramatic responses to problems that always stressed us out instead of properly assessing a situation first
- We never looked at blaming anyone for any problem, we simply wanted to look for a solution, but we had the feeling that it was a necessity for the contractor to stress that things, should they ever go wrong, were not his fault. Surely he has dealt with difficult clients in the past. We were picky, but not unreasonable and not willing to work out a solution if ever there was a problem. Placing the blame on anyone doesn't help find a solution, so I had no interest.
- Only the hardwood floor guys were careful to cover and protect our house without us requesting they do so. Many other traits left things uncovered and our appliances got quite dirty
Would we hire him again? Yes. In fact, we have already recommended him to friends.
Toro Renovations replaced our two main bathrooms, replaced lighting and installed new hardwood flooring throughout the entire house. The quality of the work was excellent. John DeToro went out of his way to make sure that the project went as smoothly as possible.
Our home looks great. We are very happy and recommend them highly.
