Sosabuilt

Pat started my kitchen reno just as the pandemic hit. He was really good to ensure that the kitchen was functioning as soon as possible so that I could move back home. He was really helpful in giving me design ideas for the cabinets and making the most of the space that I had. I was very happy with the quality of the cabinets and my overall kitchen reno. Really appreciated all his hard work and input.

I hired Patrick (Sosabuilt) to renovate my parents house he did an amazing job & completed the project on the agreed upon timeline with the utmost of professionalism. He made the whole Reno seamless to the removal of junk to custom kitchen and design consultancy. I didn’t have to check in & follow up constantly he was very quick to get back to me if I had a question or concern. I have already referred & would hire him again for future projects.

A friend of ours recommended Sosabuilt, and we are so glad. Patrick did a full main floor renovation on our townhome, and a full bathroom on the upper level, in addition to some painting and trim work. We had a tight timeline, as we were expecting our second child and wanted to be settled in time for his arrival. From the very beginning, we had a fairly clear idea of what we wanted and the budget we had to work with. Patrick laid out a comprehensive contract clearly outlining everything we had requested, how much it would cost and how long it would take. He kept to his word, and finished right on time and (mostly) on budget. We changed a couple things, which ended up adding to the cost, but everyone was completely transparent about the additional costs — there were no surprises. We really enjoyed working with him, and his crew. He took some of his own personal time to accompany us to pick out flooring and appliances. Communication was open, and he was always available if we had any questions or concerns. My husband and I are very picky when it comes to craftsmanship and precision, and Patrick and his crew showed up big time. Special shout out to his painter Alex, who was scrupulous when it came to his work. He went above and beyond to make sure our walls, trim and cabinets looked perfect. The flooring crew was also very hardworking. They worked fast to complete the job, all the while maintaining quality. All in all, a very professional and positive experience. We have had so many compliments on the reno, it completely changed the look and feel of our home and elevated it to another level. Pictures don’t do it justice, I only wish I had some before shots to show the difference! 10/10 will use Patrick and his crew again. We have since recommended him to several colleagues and friends and he always comes through with shining results. Thank you.

Sosa Built Came highly recommended, and we now know why. From the moment we shared our ideas, they were quick to contribute. They provided insight on design with reality on pricing, scope of work and timeline.

Most of all, they showed up when they were supposed to, completed the work with out distraction or deviation. We were his focus until the job was complete.

Our renovations were extensive, but Sosabuilt met the challenge and exceeded it in spades. I have already referred them and will continue to do so.

We hired Patrick (sosabuilt) to do our whole house Reno and we have now learned that was a terrible mistake. We would not trust him to do any type of renovation in our friends/families homes. He butchered the job and we have had to get many things done again by other contractors such as the washrooms. He’s inexperienced and we would not recommend him to anyone. He is only in the business for money and doesn’t care about the quality of work at all (see photos, our shower is breaking apart and we have to get it fixed before it leaks). He’s also terrible at communication and brings up additional costs after the contract has been signed even though he should’ve clearly known about those coats before he quoted us as the items were not hidden costs. He fights you over text and sends massive paragraphs rather than communicating verbally and professionally. When you mention some mistakes that you see he blames it on the house that it is “just like that”. He charged us $8500 for project management even though we had to go out to stores and purchase all of the fixtures, go look and choose out flooring, and compare prices for him at different stores. He would bring in just a few samples to choose from and then told us to look for ourselves. Where is the project management in that? He also blamed us for causing blockages in the shower and later it turned out it was actually the poor plumbing job that he did even though he is not a licensed plumber. Our contract stated that we would get a licensed plumber and no plumber came. Patrick cut costs by doing the work himself and using cheap materials, he even installed a chipped tile and then told us he cannot do anything about it (see photos). He decided to try to stain the stairs himself and we were left with sticky and discoloured stairs and had to get those fixed as well. He also made mistake on the bottom step and made it one inch smaller which is a safety hazard when coming down the stairs because the step is too small. We also mentioned that the whole washroom floor be tiled but he decided not to tile under the vanity just because he ran out of materials. He provided no excess tiles or vinyl to us for emergencies if anything breaks. He also refused to do any of the remaining final punch lists of items and we have had to find other contractors to do the work. We agreed that once the punch list is complete he would get the final remaining total which was the total required to complete the punch list of items. We have also learned that he has not paid some of his subcontractors for the work that they did. He also blocked us on Instagram from seeing his stories so that we wouldn’t complain that he didn’t finish our job before moving onto another one. He went three months beyond the deadline of completion and still left work incomplete. Very unprofessional and would rather recommend others that quote a little bit more but definitely complete the job with full integrity and quality.
