Replace front steps and clad porch in stone

Quality Restorations were a pleasure to deal with. From my first contact with Doug he demonstrated professionalism, arriving on time for our initial appointment (some contractors I spoke with didn't turn up at all), offering options for dealing with my crumbling porch and stairs, providing a detailled list of references, and referring me to other customers and emailing me photographs so that I could see previous work done by his company. Doug also impressed me by responding quickly to phone calls and emails (again setting the bar high for other contractors). As generally happens on reno jobs, an unexpected structural issue was discovered once the work was underway, but Doug and his team devised a creative solution for it that did not result in an increase to the price quoted for the work. I appreciated that very much because it would have been very easy to inflate the job unnecessarily on account of this issue. Doug also was able to pull in a supplier of wrought iron railings, with whom I was also very impressed, to help design new railings for the porch, thereby saving me a lot of time in researching suppliers for that aspect. For any work that my house requires from now on, Quality Restorations will be the first place I call. Thanks, Doug and team, for a terrific job!!

Beautiful banas stone front porch

As new home owners one of the biggest challenges we have faced was in finding competent and reliable contractors for home renovations.

We did a lot of research this time (as we made some pretty bad mistakes previously by hiring local handymen for other jobs), and took a leap of faith with 'quality restorations.

Doug Pearse is honestly the most organized and knowledgeable contractor I have ever met. He immediately got back to us with a quote, and provided us with several options for work within our budget.

The true test of the integrity of 'quality restorations' for us was when we realized that we weren't 100% happy with the end result. I expected that this positive experience would go down in flames fast... but Doug, as he always had in the past, responded within 40 min of my concerned text message, and it was fixed right away...hassle free! No arguments!...just a great experience.

We have a lot of work to do on the house down the road and are hoping to use quality restorations whenever possible. This seriously has been one of the best experiences I have had as a homeowner and it's great to know that there are guys like Doug out there who know their stuff and are good guys to work with.

Thanks so much Tara ... I really do appreciate the endorsement - I always apply the standard "treat others as I would want to be treated" and that has worked so far. I really look forward to helping you out with other projects in the future.

Putting tile on a fireplace

Dale and Brad did a wonderful job. The finished product is beautiful, carefully completed and exactly what I had hoped for. They were very helpful - Dale thought of things I hadn't (like putting tile in the interior of the fireplace and finding an electrician to disconnect an unused electrical outlet), so the process was very smooth and very easy for me. Dale and Brad were a delight to have in our house. They did the job over the course of a few very, very hot days, and they never slowed down - they worked efficiently and without complaint. Thank you! Doug is very organized and replies to emails quickly, and kept things moving forward from the time I first contacted him.

Laundry room reno

We wanted to redo our laundry room in our basement. The basement is a finished basement but the laundry room was really tiny and not practical. Dale came to give us a quote, he was on time and gave us a detailed quote. He and his crew were very polite and respectful of our place and time, they always cleaned up but more importantly they did a really good and conscientious job. I wanted to chose the new cabinetry from Ikea and Dale even met me there to help me order everything and bring it home! We have been very fortunate to have them and I would use them again for another job in the house.
