Ea Renovations Ltd.

Found Mark on Homestars.com and was thoroughly impressed by the turnaround time on coming over to provide a quote. He was there before other companies even responded to my request. Mark was very flexible as our needs changed. Originally we thought there may be more work available but the job became slightly smaller and he was more than okay with that.
Mark's crew renovated an already gutted bathroom in our apartment. I was impressed by the final work accomplished. In construction I always anticipate something is going to go array and in this case we have to jackhammer out cement in the bathroom for the toilet and bathtub. The crew did a great job and made all of our pre-bought products fit the room. I have no complaints about the quality of their work and would recommend them to others in need of contractors.

Our daughter had used EA Renovations the previous year to add a room to her house, change the roof line and upgrade some other rooms. She recommended that we consider using EA. So last summer we entered into a contract with EA for our kitchen and bathrooms renovations. The result was very satisfactory. The work was well done, surprises found when opening the walls and ceilings were addressed in an efficient and timely manner. The reno was completed on time and within budget. We would not hesitate to recommend EA for your reno.

Mark, Nino, and team took our unfinished basement to a beautiful new one-bedroom suite in less than 3 months. The job entailed extensive electrical, plumbing and structural as well as completion of a gas fireplace and mantel, to the fine detailed finishing and excellent tile work. The pain of having to put up with the dust , noise and some evening work was alleviated by their friendly and professional team. It was a pleasure to deal with everyone involved.
It's obvious that Mark and Nino take great pride in how they manage their business and the quality of work they do.
They both have an easy going manner and as fun as it was to deal with them, they are thoughtful and meticulous in how they conduct their business and quick to address any concerns (and there were only a few very minor ones) to our satisfaction.
My husband, who has a background in construction and is very exacting, was very happy with their workmanship and to me, that is the best gauge.
I actually miss having them around, so I'll definitely will be calling on them for our next project!

We had to completely tear a covered sunroom down to the studs, put in electrical, insulation, flooring, drywall, new windows and siding. It was an extensive project that we knew wouldn't end well if we tried to tackle it ourselves. We contacted Mark, and he was really great to deal with. He walked us through the whole thing, and even though there were some unexpected costs (putting up new siding), he and the EA team were great. He would even answer the phone on a Sunday while we were shopping for windows and needed assistance.
One snag was we found out after the floor went in, it wasn't the "best" option we could have picked, and I think if we had known we would have exchanged it, but so far no problems.
I was really picky about the French doors being air tight and not letting in any drafts, and the guys did some modifications so I was happy.
Overall - I would definitely hire Mark and the EA team again. We knew going in this was going to be an expensive project, but that it was an important investment for our home. We were comfortable with everyone on the team being in our house, and they did a good job cleaning up for the most part. There was some finishing touches around the doors I wasn't happy with, but they came back and fixed it all up. The job did run over 2-3 weeks, but we are pretty laid back so it didn't ruin our experience with the company.

We gutted our basement and had it totally redone by Mark, Nino, and team, including floor, drywall, wiring, water pipes for the whole house, bathroom, and kitchen. They were great to work with--good communication, able to resolve questions and quickly fix problems that we noticed, and accommodated our todder's sleeping schedule as best they could. Floors, doors, walls, cabinets still look beautiful. I'm still noticing how great everything looks almost a year later. The weakest part in terms of the final look were the shower tiles. Advice: if you have specific times by which noisy work needs to stop (for us it was 7:30 pm), it's probably a good idea to write that into the contract. Some of the trades workers seem to work full days on other jobs and can only come late afternoon/evenings/weekends. On one noisy night that was getting later and later, Mark was able to get the plumbers to stop, but it took a couple of phone calls. Overall very pleased and would definitely use again.

Mark and the EA Renovation team recently completed our top floor kitchen and bathroom renovations. We also updated our flooring and living room area. We are thrilled with the results and could not be happier in our new space. Mark was professional, easy to work with and available to answer any questions regarding design and materials. The project turned out to be bigger than expected due to some design changes. Any renovations will have its challenges, finding the right contractor to help you through it is important in making the chaos bearable. We found EA Renovations to be the right fit for us and our budget. Big thanks to Mark, Nino, Scott, Alex and Tom who worked on our home.

We have a very basic house built in the 60s, so it needed an update. Our project predominantly consisted of a new kitchen and bathroom, both down to the studs.

The bathroom layout remained the same, but the kitchen involved moving doors and windows, and taking down a wall. We also ended up doing some cosmetic updates to our living room at the same time.

We did approach several large and well advertised companies, but in some cases we almost felt embarrassed because of our older and small house.

When we met Mark, we felt it was a good fit. Mark is very easy to talk to, and very down to earth. Yet at the same time, he exhibits professionalism, a willingness to do what is right, and an attitude of putting the customer first. As the general contractor, we feel he is very approachable.

EA Renovations is not a large company (2 primary owners), but they also aren't a small one man operation either as they have some good trades they have access to. We give our kudo's to the electrician - young friendly guy, and looking at his wiring I liked what I saw. I am by no means an electrician, but I do know how to spot things that look fishy.

In terms of quality, the advice I'd give to any home owner is to expect some hiccups and mistakes. Always be proactive in the work being done to your home.

If you go in with the attitude that everything is going to be perfect with no issues, you'll be disappointed.

There will be mistakes made (regardless of which company you use), but the good thing is if we brought it up with Mark, he did his best to resolve the issues and listen to our concerns.

For example, some things that went wrong with our project included squeaking tub installation, miss-cut tiles for shower fixtures, and some drywall issues. In all cases, if we brought it up with Mark, he did his best to resolve the issues.

We are still planning on doing some future work to our home on a smaller scale, and yes, we'd re-hire EA again - Mark and Nino can be trusted.
