Bathroom renovation and Bsmt

I would never recommend Lifetime Contracting to anyone. The owner Ram Sharma has no regard for how the job gets done or whether or not it gets done in a timely fashion. His main concern is the cheques or and deposits and thats it. He cowers care who he hire to get the job done and in most cases, he never does get the job done. When a [problem arises, he is no where to be found, instead he doesn't and lets his employees try to solve the situation. Yet he expects the cheques to come to him and then pays what he wants and when he wants, which in turn upsets his employees and the job subsequently suffers as a result.

kitchen & washroom remodelling

Hello all!
Well After having multiple contracting companies give us quotes for our main floor washroom and kitchen my wife and i felt most confident in giving the contract to the Lifetime team, they took the time to give us various layouts for us to review free of charge which was like a breath of fresh air after the previous contractors required deposits for renderings. they were very pleasant, professional and knowledgeable. They were a real delight to work with we'll definitely be working with them again i would highly recommend giving A Lifetime contracting a call if you were looking to have work done to your home.

Bsmt reno

Lifetime was a very professional and efficient renovations company and was a pleasure to work with. The timeline for the reno was met with only 2 minor delay as is expected in most renovations. We were quite pleased and satisfied with their performance and wouldn't hesitate to use or recommend them again

Basement Construction

I had an excellent experience with A lifetime General Contractor,

Reasonable, punctual and they listen to the clients needs and do optimum job, do not go over budget and finish project in time.

Very efficient and professional people

Washrrom Renovation

Please check the Better Business Bureau website before engaging this contractor. They are not an accredited BBB company even though their website say they are. The owner and trades are no longer the same. Terminated our contract with them due to many issues with how long it was taking to complete a 30 Sq. Ft. powder room and substandard quality. We ended up having to pay another contractor to finish the job and fix the deficiencies they left behind. We provided most of the materials and on top of that ended up buying new vanity as they damaged this item beyond repair. Their website is misleading as most of the reviews were based on projects completed by the previous team under the former owner.

We had a project manager by the name Bruce who was handling their project but the project went on for too long and we fired him. When this home owner found out they were very upset. Hard to understand. They waited for weeks just to raise some kind of action from Bruce but got very upset when we took two days to organise. Every small delay became too big and their patience grew thin. Eventually they cancelled the contract.
Contractors beware!

Same Day Install - Awesome

Lifetime has done work for us before and we were pleased with it. This time they went above and beyond. Emailed them hoping they could do an urgent job. Got back to me right away and a few hours later the installer was at our house getting the job done. Very reasonable rate and job was well done.

BEWARE of Lifetime Contractor - Toronto

Beware of this Toronto contractor. They feature the former owners name, awards and her position in the industry to portray credibility but the new owner has absolutely zero integrity when it comes to standing behind the faulty work they did for us.
Lifetime Contractor did not even respond in a timely way when this former owner contacted them multiple times to look at and fix the significant leak in the multi-level deck that they installed.
When the new owner, after months of calls from me finally agreed to come to the site, he looked at the issue, took pictures and gave his word that he would have it fixed quickly and to our satisfaction. NO one ever showed up and the work was never completed.

Bruce Bingham our Sales Manager visited the site more than once and arranged for Alpine Roofing to assess the cause of problem. There was only a trickle at the height of rainy season.
However, we are now planning to implement the suggestions made by Alpine Rrofing.
This home owner knows the previous owner personally and is very displeased that she sold her company. He knows the contact info of previous owner and we do not.
We take care of our customers to the best of our ability but this incident reeks of something else.
Contractors beware.

Complete reno

This company did my kitchen, living room, crown moulding and floors.
This company performed several jobs for me in my previous home including floors, kitchen, crown mouldings, windows, roof, etc.

I can't remember where I found this company but I've used them several times. Please note this company has changed ownership since I used them.

I also hired used this company to do a complete gut reno on my father's house in Leslieville.

This company has changed ownership since I used them so please keep that in mind.

Sort of expensive, but very, very good.

The same team has been working for this company for years, they must be doing something right. They are all great guys.

Excellent work!

Hello Patricia Thank you for the positive reviews. You are right. The ownership has changed as previous owner Sandra Baldwin has retired and decided to do her things.
Most of the employees are still with us and I believe our carpenters perform quality work and the owner only provides direction. If the employees are not skilled then management skill will not produce the quality workmanship.
we are still committed to top quality workmanship in whatever work undertake. We shall be honoured to work for you in future.

kitchen, bathroom and closet

Two years ago I hired this company to do a bathroom renovation for me. I researched three companies but liked Lifetime the best.

I liked them so much the first time, I hired them a second time and they did my kitchen, a pantry, two piece bathroom and a closet.

This reno was expensive but well worth it. They told me each day when they were going to be there and showed up at that time. They were quick and were done when they said they would be. Very very good.

They took out the floor and put a sheet down so I wouldn't fall. They really take good care of you. They cleaned up and left everything perfect.

They told me 6-12 months and if anything gets a scratch on it in the bathroom to call them back and they would fix it!

When my neighbour came over to see the renos, she said she wants them to do her house as well!

They are excellent!!!

Hello Mary. Thank you for the positive reviews. Our prices are not always lowest but our quality of workmanship is second to none. In order to produce the top quality our carpenters, who have been with us for over 10 years each, have to be well looked after. We are confident of the work we do that our standard warranty for labour and material is for 24 months. We shall be honoured to work for you again in future.
