Did a great job! Said that he would be done in 2 weeks and made sure it was finished. Cleaned up after his crew each evening. Made sure that he shared details about what he was doing regularly. If there were extra things to do, he would make sure to ask if he could do them or inform of the necessity to do them. Very professional.

Al has rightly earned his high rating on Google. From the very start of planning to final execution the bathroom renovation was seamless. His suppliers provided valuable advice and the project turned out better because of that. Started and finished as planned and Al, the tile team and assistants all worked together and kept the house as clean as possible. Strongly suggest you use Homemaster for your next bathroom renovation. We will for sure.

Al and the team were great. On time, on budget and explained how and why they did things so that as homeowners, we would understand. Friendly, courteous and honest. They easily deserve a 5 Star rating.

It was a pleasure to do business with Al right from initially speaking to him. I noticed a small leak in my ceiling in the kitchen directly below the bathroom which is all portrayed to Al over the phone. Made an appointment with Al to come the next day and he was on time as discussed. He removed the grouting and re caulked the shower & tub the same day. I’m very impressed with his service. I will be doing business with him again. Highly recommend as he walks through different options and has affordable solutions instead of a total renovation. Makes it much less stressful when you never know when a water leak can occur.

Overall, our experience was excellent. Al's work demonstrated exceptional quality. Communication throughout the project was excellent. Al and his assistant consistently displayed professionalism, courteousness and utmost respect for our home. We would wholeheartedly recommend Al for any future projects because of his unwavering dedication to quality craftsmanship and exceptional customer satisfaction. He transformed our basement into a stunning, highly functional bathroom, and we couldn't be happier with the remarkable result!

Before you hire a renovation contractor in Ontario

No. Renovation contractors are not licensed in Ontario - but the sub-trades they hire may be, and the permits are the real accountability mechanism.

Written contract with a defined scope

Should include a fixed price or a clearly capped cost-plus arrangement, a payment schedule tied to milestones, a start and substantial completion date, a change order process, and what happens if either party walks away.

General liability insurance and WSIB clearance

Two million minimum. Confirm the policy covers the type and value of your project - some policies exclude structural work.

Building permit, pulled by the contractor

Insist the contractor pulls it in their name, not yours. A permit in your name makes you the constructor and shifts liability onto you. This is a genuinely important detail that many homeowners agree to without realising.

Verify with: Your municipal building department.

Licensed sub-trades for regulated work

Your renovator need not be licensed, but the electrician and plumber must be. Ask who they are and verify them independently.

Questions worth asking

Will you pull the building permit in your company name?
Can I see the written scope, and does it list specific products and models rather than allowances?
What is the payment schedule, and is it tied to milestones rather than dates?
How are change orders priced and approved - in writing, before the work happens?
Who are your electrician and plumber, and can I verify their licences?
