Quality Restorations and Renovations

We hired Quality Restorations after interviewing several contractors. We wanted to finish the basement of our 95-yr-old house, which required lots of work - waterproofing, plumbing, wiring, framing, concrete pouring - and re-grading the backyard to prevent water from pooling around the basement steps and walls. Doug and the workers he hired were professional and hard-working. Doug kept great records and was available to re-assess our plans when appropriate, listened to and addressed our concerns, and kept everyone on the same page as the job progressed. A consistent crew of experienced builders did good quality work for us, re-building the bathroom, insulating, framing, dry walling, and fixing the concrete floors. They also worked well with the plumbers, electricians, and HVAC who came and went as needed. The cold weather arrived before our exterior concrete steps could set in some places, and the Quality Restorations crew committed to returning to fix it when its warm enough. We hope to engage their services again when we are ready to build out our back porch and replace the floors inside.

One of the walls bordering our carport was in a long-term slow collapse and needed to be replaced; they were probably over 30 years old. Doug offered a good and timely quote to match what we were looking for, and the team that did the work (tearing out the old wall, removing the stump of a small tree and another plans that had grown into and through the wooden slats of the wall, replacing the wall, etc.) in a very efficient and quick few hours. The work was well done and looks great.

We were given some things to do for our insurance and our porch was on the list. It was noted that we needed a hand rail and that we should address the slope of the main deck.
Our neighbors were having their porch renovated by Quality renovations and since we use our porch as a second sitting room we wanted someone we could trust, and they recommended them. We contacted Doug and discussed the request by the insurance company and he told us that it was no problem and an easy job, that overall the porch looked okay. We took him at his word.
Over $5,000.00 later, our beloved porch had a cosmetic upgrade with no hand railing and the slope was not repaired. When trying to discuss this, we were not listened to, interrupted and told we needed to pay for the work done. We signed a vague agreement, and he hid behind that and not his word. We are extremely disappointed in our needs being ignored and having spent money for cosmetic changes that were not immediately needed.
The customer service and the communication are non existent.
A final note: we had to spend an afternoon of our own time, because skirting was applied all the way around the porch, leaving no access to our lawn mower and other gardening needs.

As a painting contractor, I know the finish is only as good as the build it's applied to. The carpenters, masons and trough trades at Quality Restorations deliver nothing short of premium building and installations ready for flawless finishing. and I've been thrilled with the work and service they've delivered on my home.

Doug and team did a great job rebuilding our back deck. Top quality job and a pleasure to work with. Exceed our expectations and would highly recommend them for your next renovation job.

It was a pleasure working with Doug on my deck project. He’s very responsive and willing to explain things to me. Patrick and crew completed the deck just in time for the labour day long weekend and even worked on Saturday just to complete the work as promised. I appreciate their commitment in delivering the project on the agreed timeline. I’m very happy with the quality of the work and outcome of my new deck, it looks great.

The past 4 years we have had Quality do a series of bathroom/kitchen renovations in our over 100 year old building including our adjacent town house units. The work primarily included a complete gutting. On one of the lower basement units, Dale, Brad & crew did a complete gut & re-design and re-do of the entire unit -- which entailed removing the old wood floors, joists, old piping etc right down to the dirt ...a huge major job.

Their knowledge, suggestions and expertise is mighty impressive, their costs very fair, and they did everything possible to accommodate the residents while synchronizing the work to be done.

Workmanship -- nothing short of exemplary! The finishing detail couldn't be better.

Kudos to Quality Restorations & Renovations! You can't go wrong with this group. So fortunate to have found them. (And Doug Pearce's referral to Dee Porter of Colour Works --another fortunate find!)

Quality Restorations undertook a number of projects on and around the house this summer. In each case the work was carried out at a high professional level, with beautiful results.

The centerpiece was repair, restoration and painting of a large, complex suite of vintage wood windows. This required a lot of sustained attention to detail, as well as a range of solid technical skills. It was, frankly, an unusual and difficult job, but Cameron put in a superb effort and rose to all the challenges.

The next step was a major repainting involving the veranda, interior and exterior, plus all the existing aluminum siding. Again, the work was top-notch, and no detail was too small for Cameron and Matt. New vinyl floor planks were laid down on the veranda, and base moulding expertly installed. It looks really sharp.

In addition, fresh stucco was applied to the aged original stucco on the garage. This was another a tricky job, but Walter and his crew achieved first-class results.

Throughout all this, Doug at Quality Restorations replied promptly to email messages. Estimates were clear and detailed. He made excellent suggestions along the way, which further improved the outcome. Overall, this is a very professional firm that holds to high standards.

Our backyard had become a no tread zone, our deck and fence needed to be redone quite badly. Quoted several companies through Homestars, and Quality clearly rose to the top, for ease and value from competitive quoting. Doug initiated a home visit and clearly laid out a detailed quote for the ask. The job started, the deck revealed decay underneath, and needed to rebuild from scratch. The quote for additional work was clear, reasonable and the entire process transparent. Perry built everything with incredible pro workmanship and attention to detail. We are thrilled with the results and would recommend to anyone. Now to enjoy the big deck, who doesnt love a big deck!

I was looking to restore a bedroom on the ground level of my house by adjusting the existing kitchen. After gathering several quotes, I decided to proceed with Quality Restorations for their track record, experience and well illustrated knowledge.

Anthony was assigned to do the job. I was very impressed with his speed, thoroughness and attention to detail. He was also very helpful in making suggestions during the course of the project for how the cabinets should be formatted to work with the adjusted kitchen. Every day I came home, I would see plenty of progress. The job was completed in a timely fashion.

Although there are companies that would have done this job a little cheaper, I don't think their quality and finish would match Quality Restorations. I would certainly recommend this company to my friends and colleagues for their vast experience, quality and overall professionalism.
