I have been working with woodsmith construction for about years the company is very professional and hands on when the Read More detail work is at its best if your renovating this is the company to use
We hired the company to perform structural improvements and renovations The work was done on a good professional level with Read More attention to detail in the most efficient way The work was completed on schedule and within a reseanable budget
When we decided to put an addition on our bungalow we interviewed many different contractors and construction companies We were Read More most impressed with Woodsmith because he seemed to be the most realistic in terms of timing and stressed that he would do his best to keep our project within our budget Woodsmith was the only company of the seven we interviewed who could commit to giving us a detailed print out of all costs including materials labour and his mark-up We got these print outs every weeks and found this to be super helpful as we were able to see where most of our money was going The one time we had a concern Chris was able to address it Chris worked with the guy who did our drawings to ensure that we were doing the most with the money we had In doing this we found ways of saving money which enabled us to actually add more square footage to the house Chris crew was both pleasant and professional We had one issue with one of the sub contractors and when we brought it to Chris attention he dealt with it immediately and ensured that we were happy and satisfied with the compensation Chris was such a pleasure to work with Whenever we had questions or concerns he answered them immediately and often came to meet with us We have absolutely no hesitations at all in recommending Woodsmith Construction Chris is more than just a contractor He brings an excellent eye to a project and reassurance and patience when working with the customer Michelle and Thomas
I have worked with many professionals in this industry over the last decade or so and have found few that Read More consistently deliver the same level of construction experience and expertise as Woodsmith It's one thing to talk a great story with the client it's another thing entirely to deliver a final product that is exceptionally high in quality and still on budget and on time A huge contributor to Woodsmith and their success is their relationships with their clients and their ability to communicate throughout the course of a project I think communication and clarity during a renovation goes a long way to calm a clients nerves and keep them in the loop during all stages of the project I would highly recommend anyone who maybe considering a renovation of any complexity to meet with Chris of Woodsmith and hear first hand what his company can do for you

My husband and I recently hired Chris Woodsmith construction to renovate several aspects of our newly purchased home Right away Read More we clicked with Chris and felt at ease and confident hiring him He was great about providing a full cost estimate and really worked hard with us to come in line with our budget restrictions all while not compromising on quality Over the course of months he did a lot to the house including bathroom remodels Fireplace facade stairwell railing remodel refinishing all hardwood floors electrical work Built in cabinets etc There was a lot to be done on the house and no matter how big or small the job Chris and his team were professional and amazing I am a very design oriented person and was super happy that Chris was totally open to listening to all my ideas and truly turned this house into our dream home He was also really amazing at completing the job in a bit of a crunch when a family emergency put us a on a tight move in timeline We are so happy with how everything turned out - the house is now exactly what we were looking for
Woodsmith Construction was the sole contractor executing a project comprising of enclosing a walk out balcony effectively extending our kitchen Read More and equipping it with a dine-in space I did not extensively shop the project around as I was quite pleased with Woodsmith right away - I value the confidence I have in a contractor on par with the cost The contract was based on full cost disclosure hours receipts plus profit and I could help out with some things to keep the costs down If I had to isolate the one factor I was most impressed with Woodsmith it would be the quality of all workmen and trades In quality I mean professionalism punctuality skill and interpersonal skills the latter are often at a premium in the industry at least in my opinion The project moved along at a reasonable pace given the size and all aspect of the built framing exterior and interior work were done well and with the appropriate attention to detail In addition I can t recall one instance when I was not able to reach my contact at Woodsmith within minutes or less In terms of communication I can t say enough good things about the company and to me communication in a way equals confidence In summary I found the company to be dedicated and committed to all of their trades which in turn resulted in a successful project execution and an excellent end product

Woodsmith helped completely renovate a bathroom re-stain hardwood floors and install new doors and baseboards Chris was a pleasure to Read More work with He was very reliable and always upfront about costs I would definitely work with him again
There is no such thing as a perfect renovation especially not at the scale we were involved in along with Read More all the complications fully gutting and renovating a year old home and adding a x foot full addition basement main and nd floor sqft per floor So why am I giving Chris and the good guys at Woodsmith Construction a If everything was straight forward then all we would be talking about is price timelines and quality of product IMHO that is the bare minimum How you deal with the suprises and unforeseen problems is really what definines the character and ethics of a Contractor Sure there were issues and suprises and we've seen many articles and TV shows about the horror stories but the main reason I stick to a rating is that Chris ALWASY made it right If there was something we were not happy about Chris found a way to make it right either by correcting it or finding an alternative I probably have over a thousand E-mails and easily thousands of minutes of talk time with Chris Chris was never out of touch and we talked many times a day When Chris says Hey I want you to have what you want he means it in the most genuine way and has shown us in action for the past years of working together Chris is exteremely flexible with arrangements and allows you to source various solutiions as needed and does not force you into a fixed or Woodsmith only solution Chris is very knowledgable with many years of experience despite his young appearance and definitely contributed to some of the design of our project even though we came to him with architectural designs completed and permit from the city - ready to build We know most of Chris' workers and subs by name and have enjoyed working with the bulk of them and in fact we are still completing our basement as I write this and a detached garage will also be completed in the future One final note about Chris is that he is genuinely helpful and wants to and I'd say even likes to help and educate I was talking to him months before we signed the deal and he was never unavailble to chat give pointers and educate me even though I may not have chosen him Chris wants to educate the home owners and won't stand for artificially inflated prices that a lot of subs and other contractors push just because you live in a popular area

The Woodsmith team did a phenomenal job of rebuilding our house to match our dream on-time and within our budget Read More Chris the owner was always accessible open to ideas and patient with questions This made all the difference for us He understands that a job of this scale is something that an owner will likely only do once and he offered great advice and put all our fears at ease We constantly knew exactly how we were tracking to our budget to the dollar and our job site was clean and orderly at all times which our neighbours very much appreciated We were nervous about our year-long adventure in renos we've all heard horror stories but Chris helped us spread out decisions over time and provided clear options for any challenges his team encountered making that year a surprisingly pleasant one All of the work was top-quality and has garnered unsolicited positive comments from anyone who sees our home including other contractors working in our neighbourhood I have no problem recommending Woodsmith you will be in very good hands
We worked with Chris for over a year as he and his team renovated our semi in the west end Read More It was a total gut job of an old house so had it challenges from the beginning Chris was excellent at explaining the options and giving us pros and cons of each so that we could make informed decisions Chris was always available during night or day to answer questions or return email Chris was also excellent at managing our neighbours who proved quite problematic throughout the entire process He always had an eye on the budget and timing and his projections were very close His billing was transparent without any hidden costs We continue to work with Chris and his team to this day on the update of our exterior
We hired Woodsmith Construction and his team to turn the attic of our home to a master suite In addition Read More to the all-round good vibes we felt from Chris he showed signs of being the most honest capable and confident in comparison to the other companies we interviewed We felt like this was someone that we could trust with our savings and the future of our home Chris provided us with an itemized budget prior to the start of the renovation From the beginning we could see clearly how much each portion of the project would cost This was updated every couple of weeks to reflect the actual costs of the work that was completed or underway This was extremely helpful and reassuring Woodsmith Construction also has a number of professional and courteous team members We had an excellent experience with all the trades and sub-contractors that worked with Chris to make our home beautiful Most importantly we are extremely happy with the workmanship and can tell that each member of the Woodsmith Construction team takes pride in creating quality spaces Our project was not lacking in obstacles along the way but ultimately we are delighted with the end result and would highly recommend Woodsmith Construction for any project Thank you Chris Angelina and everyone at Woodsmtih for creating our dream space

We hired the company to perform structural improvements and renovations The work was done on a good professional level with Read More attention to detail in the most efficient way The work was completed on schedule and within a reseanable budget
When we decided to put an addition on our bungalow we interviewed many different contractors and construction companies We were Read More most impressed with Woodsmith because he seemed to be the most realistic in terms of timing and stressed that he would do his best to keep our project within our budget Woodsmith was the only company of the seven we interviewed who could commit to giving us a detailed print out of all costs including materials labour and his mark-up We got these print outs every weeks and found this to be super helpful as we were able to see where most of our money was going The one time we had a concern Chris was able to address it Chris worked with the guy who did our drawings to ensure that we were doing the most with the money we had In doing this we found ways of saving money which enabled us to actually add more square footage to the house Chris crew was both pleasant and professional We had one issue with one of the sub contractors and when we brought it to Chris attention he dealt with it immediately and ensured that we were happy and satisfied with the compensation Chris was such a pleasure to work with Whenever we had questions or concerns he answered them immediately and often came to meet with us We have absolutely no hesitations at all in recommending Woodsmith Construction Chris is more than just a contractor He brings an excellent eye to a project and reassurance and patience when working with the customer Michelle and Thomas
I have worked with many professionals in this industry over the last decade or so and have found few that Read More consistently deliver the same level of construction experience and expertise as Woodsmith It's one thing to talk a great story with the client it's another thing entirely to deliver a final product that is exceptionally high in quality and still on budget and on time A huge contributor to Woodsmith and their success is their relationships with their clients and their ability to communicate throughout the course of a project I think communication and clarity during a renovation goes a long way to calm a clients nerves and keep them in the loop during all stages of the project I would highly recommend anyone who maybe considering a renovation of any complexity to meet with Chris of Woodsmith and hear first hand what his company can do for you
