Dear Nick,

We would like to express our sincere appreciation for the outstanding job that you and the entire Design-Spec team did on our recent renovation. From yourself to Tony, Doug, Joey and Adam, we found everyone to be dedicated, detailed and committed to giving us the perfect renovation that we were looking for. While renovating is never an easy process, we can honestly say without hesitation that our project was not only pain-free, but remarkably easy. This is how a renovation can be when you hire the right professionals for the job. If we could recommend you to every person looking for a high-quality, pain free renovation, we would. Your crews were always courteous and respectful and we felt their commitment is doing the best for our home. Thank you to you and your whole team for the dedication and excellence which you showed in our project. You made our home everything that we had hoped for. It looks and feels fantastic. Best wishes for 2013 and beyond!

Sincerely, Robert and Diane

Richard and Diane, Thank you again for the opportunity to work on your 2nd story addition and major renovation. While its always challenging taking a roof off a home to add a second floor, everything in your project went very well including the weather gods working in our favour with nearly no rain during the process. We are extremely proud of our work there and the friendship that we have developed with you both. Sincerely, The Design-Spec Team!

Dear Nick and the Design Spec Team,

It was our great pleasure to have worked with you and your team for our main floor renovation. Every aspect of the job was dealt with professionally, skillfully and as specified in the original proposal. Your crew was always on time, respectful (as we were living in our home during the renovation) and knowledgeable of all tasks at hand. Most notable was the cleanliness of the job site at the end of the day. We were very satisfied with the whole process and the end result. All work was completed in a timely manner and to the highest standards. What a transformation! We would highly recommend Design Spec Group and we look forward to working with you again in the near future. All our best,

Dear Nick,

We are writing today to convey our deepest thanks! The workmanship and quality that you and the rest of your team have demonstrated was beyond our expectations. Since November 2005 when your organization was first engaged to provide services to uplift my company office, it has nothing but outstanding. The office to this day looks great. The next challenge was upgrading our basement after the flood of August 2005. Again, the same quality and workmanship, our new basement transformed into additional living and storage space that makes sense. Thanks for resolving the original design flaw issues of the previous owner’s. Then in February 2006 it was discovered that our whole upstairs carpet was infested with dust mites. Again, the result of the previous owner’s pet. Little did we know that having carpets cleaned regularly was barely making a dent in the problem. Within two weeks, you and your team were able to start and complete the upgrade to hardwood floors in 7 days. When we came back from our week vacation, it was like walking into a new home. The hardwood floors and trim details were fabulous. Everything was in order when we came back. I am so glad we could trust your company while we were away. Our children thank you as many of their breathing related problems have magically disappeared! Finally, the latest project, the kitchen upgrade, with months of planning we were able to find the appropriate design and accessories that we wanted. Everything from the cushion closing cupboards and draws, to the pot lights, build in credenza, and all the other minor details that make the kitchen our dream kitchen. What a beautiful sight it is walking up to every morning! Anna and I would like to thank your organization for its professionalism, workmanship, and superior quality. We look forward to the next project, knowing that based on past successes, we will have nothing but the best! Thanks!
Joseph and Anna

To whom it may concern,

Over the course of a few years Design-Spec Building Group has completed three large scale construction projects for us; a main floor and kitchen renovation, a basement renovation and a full backyard/landscaping and swimming pool construction project.

They consistently demonstrated a hands on and very detailed approach with every facet of each project including design, construction and full completion. The owner, Nick Malfara, was involved with each of the projects overseeing the scheduling, site staff and trade coordination.

Design-Spec Building Group has the ability to efficiently manage their team and get the job done promptly, on schedule and on budget. They exceeded our expectations while managing multitudes of suppliers, trades and employees.

Design-Spec Building Group Ltd is a class act company with integrity and a dedication to high quality work and satisfying their customers. We wholeheartedly recommend Design-Spec for any custom home or major renovation project.
Sincerely,
Scott& Jennifer

Dear Nick & The Design-Spec Team,

Nearly a year has passed since we completed the building of our second location with Deisgn-Spec Building Group in Oakville and we are sorry for the delay in getting this to you so late.

However, we did want to share with you our appreciation for the work you and your team of project managers, trades and employees did in building out our entirely new salon, especially Senior Project Manager, Tony. Everyone was courteous and professional and addressed our numerous questions and the changes made by our interior designer. The quality of the finished product was exceptional, on time and on the established budget for the project.

Design-Spec's ability to liase with the mall developer and their requirements from our customers, both new and existing, about how well designed and built the space is and how it feels comfortable.

We would wholeheartedly recommend you and Design-Spec Building group Ltd. to any business owner requiring professional and well executed construction and project management.

Yours Truly,

Ross & Larry
