We are buying an older semi-detached in downtown Toronto, and Alan came highly recommended by our realtor. I also did some research here online, and could see that he has a high rating and track record. Alan arrived to our inspection on time, with all the necessary equipment to do a thorough job (drone for the roof, moisture equipment, etc). We got the whole thing completed in the hour time, and Alan was able to point out many obvious and not-so-obvious things we will be getting repaired once we take possession. In all, very satisfied with his report (which arrived promptly the following day).

We found Oborne Contracting on HomeStars, and in our experience they were knowledgable, friendly, professional, and easy to work with. Our renovations started in early March, just before the provincial lockdown. Despite having to put the renos on hold Oborne was on top of everything, keeping in contact and letting us know as soon as they could resume safely (and in accordance with all new provincial guidelines). The on-site coordinator, Jeff, was fantastic, always doing exceptional work despite us all being cooped up indoors together while we worked from home. We had entirely new laminate flooring installed, plus a kitchen wall knocked down and a new island installed. The kitchen wall particularly involved a lot of electrical rerouting and subcontractors, which Jeff helped us navigate. While 2020 meant our renovations had to take longer than originally planned, Oborne Contracting did excellent work on our first home. We've already recommended them to friends, and would do so again.
