Home Horizon General Contractor inc.

Reference letter for Daniel Zhao of Home Horizon General Contracting Ltd.

Let me preface this by noting that I interviewed 5 contractors prior to undertaking my substantial home renovation which involved a re-locating plumbing/ electrical/HVAC for new kitchen, cut outs of structural walls, fire place addition, new drywall, new finishes/mill work/ fixtures through out... in an 100+ year Toronto home... which had been renovated in the past, by amateur handymen at best.

While HH’s price was not the lowest, nor the highest, I was encouraged by the positive referrals from 2 acquaintances that used HHGC services. I was impressed with the time that Daniel took to really understand my project & budget. Prior to moving forward, over a 4 month period, Daniel and I had several in-person meetings/ phone calls to discuss the specifics, go over blue prints & permits, ensuring that we were on the same page.

I was comforted by Daniel’s technical knowledge, attention to detail as he covered all facets of the projects from big to small — especially the unexpected contingencies.

I am a very particular person and demand perfection, high quality of craftsmen-ship which is exactly what I received from Daniel and his team. He was meticulous in reviewing every corner / caulking /paint/ grout and everything that was important to me. Daniel told me several times while putting in late evenings and weekends .. “it’s not finished when it’s done, it’s finished when it’s perfect for you”. I believe that this is the DNA of Home Horizon. Daniel did not take any short cuts in completing the job or use cheap material, like I have experienced with other GC’s. Most importantly he took the time to show me what he did behind the drywall, get my opinion/preference/ approval on certain design details. Given Daniel’s experience, he also counselled me on the lay out, finishes (tiles/ fireplace/ back splash) etc., better then my interior designer, I must say.

Daniel did not gauge me on prices for additional work that had to be complete over and above our contract and he was great at managing sub trades, dealing with city inspectors etc. He was honest & fair though-out the process while being reachable by phone/text. Most importantly, he stayed within the project timelines.

We developed a great relationship & trust which made the project a much more enjoyable experience. Towards the end of the renovation, I had booked a vacation- I left the keys in Daniel’s hand knowing he would complete the finishing touches. When I returned, the project was done - exceeding my expectations (which is pretty hard to do). Daniel also organized a full top2bottom deep construction clean & vent cleaning.

All in all, I would have no hesitation in recommending Daniel & Home Horizon to my friends and family for any renovation- big or small.
I look forward to working with him on my next project. Feel free to reach out to me directly should you have any questions or a quick tour of my home to see his work first hand.

From the very beginning Daniel communicated the details of the renovation and kept me informed of any issues so we could address them right away. He completed the work in a short time frame (2 weeks) and was very professional. I am impressed and hope to work with him again for other renovation projects in our home.

Home Horizon was contracted to paint our new home entirely as well as other minor reno improvements before our move in date. They did a great job! Highly recommend

I highly recommend Home Horizon! Daniel and his team were wonderful to work with! Always available and in constant communication. And, Daniel is very knowledgeable about building codes and everything is done properly. We have had many contractors and this is not always the case!
They worked on time and on budget and were very flexible to accommodate changes.
I trusted the team 100% in my home and they were respectful with my home and everything in it.
Great team!
I wish them all the best.

Great work done by the crew. Efficient yet professional. Will definitely recommend to anyone needs their work.

Professional and efficient service by Benson and his crew. They converted our old house into a living space we are proud off. I have referred both my sister and uncle them and they are very happy with the the results.

Home Horizon General Contractors is the only company I trust to work on my own and income properly.

Daniel and his crew were absolutely amazing. I have never had a positive experience with a contractor prior to Daniel and now recommend him to everyone I know who needs work done (and the reviews have always been as positive!).

Daniel is extremely organized and has finished every project ahead of schedule.

We had a deck put in, our bathroom redone and our basement remodeled. All of the work was done perfectly and at a very reasonable price. We had several people come out to quote and with Daniel he offered his best price out of the gate and worked with us to make sure that we stayed within budget while making sure we would be happy with the end product.

I highly recommend Home Horizon!
