Somerset Construction Ltd.

We had a decrepit 100 plus year old home with termites and asbestos. Graeme helped us navigate at city hall with the permit application and problems with our survey. We were on a very tight budget and he was very accommodating to our needs. Not everything is done perfectly by the sub trades but we always knew that it would be fixed to our satisfaction.

When my wife and I decided to gut our 1950s bungalow and build a second story we did lots of research and interviewed multiple companies before finally landing with Somerset Construction. Graeme was excellent and made us feel comfortable every step of the way right from our initial meeting where he explained all of the details of the process and put our minds at ease. Never once did we feel that he was trying to “sell” us and he seemed to always have our best interests in mind. He was open and honest throughout the whole process and helped us control budget which was important to us.

Graeme has amassed a collection of the best trades people to deliver on any job big or small. I would often visit the site and was always welcomed with updates from the crew who did top quality work, often going over and above to impress. At the end of every day, the site was cleaned up and put away ready for work to commence the following morning.

One of the things we appreciated most about working with Graeme was his flexibility. We didn’t have to have all of the finishing details planned out before hand and could evolve them as the house came together. There wasn’t a single thing that we brought to Graeme that he wouldn’t at least attempt to accommodate.

Lastly, and in my opinion, most importantly, Somerset’s has a great ability to recover from unforeseen problems. It doesn’t matter how much you plan, you will likely run into some type of problem along the way. What we appreciated most about working with Graeme was his ability to help the project recover when hiccups did occur. He personally takes the time to explain the situation, alleviate worries, and propose solutions and doesn’t leave you high and dry. If hiccups do occur, any additional work that needs to be done will be priced out fairly.

There are other houses in our neighbourhood being renovated but the quality of ours is noticeably better. We’re constantly getting compliments from passers-by and we are very happy we decided to work with Graeme and Somerset Construction!

We highly recommend Somerset Construction. We chose them to build our new dream custom home. We were impressed by their building know-how, innovative solutions and flexibility to incorporate our wish list – from the exterior waterproofing, to plumbing, to the spectacular glass staircase/skylight and to the incredible snowmelt driveway. It was a pleasure working with Graeme and his team.

Graeme, Sandeep and their team did a fabulous and beautiful job on our renovation which many felt was quite a complicated project due to the roof line, HVAC requirements and plumbing design. Due to the extreme weather conditions we had this year delaying the trades we started 3 weeks late however the project was completed on time! They were fast, professional and sensitive to our needs taking into account that my husband and I continued to live in our home during this process (our girls were at university). We highly recommend Somerset Construction to anyone considering a major renovation. Lucy (family pet) will miss you Sandeep.

Graeme and his team did an amazing job on our renovation. They were fast, professional and clean. They were sensitive to our needs and made the stressful situation of moving into the house part way through the construction as painless as possible.

I highly recommend Somerset Construction to anyone considering a major renovation as they helped make my vision a reality and treated me with honesty and reliable service.

We were very happy with Graeme and his team at Somerset Construction. Communication was excellent. Work was performed as and when expected. The quality of the workmanship was spot on. Overall, they were very professional and we wouldn't hesitate to use Somerset again.

I contracted Somerset to build a home. I was very happy with the time Graeme took to explain the process.

His regular and frequent conversations with me were open and honest.

The final result was terrific.

Graeme, you and your team were fantastic and I will be pleased to recommend you.

We bought a bungalow built in the 50s that had never been touched. We gutted the inside of the home from top to bottom including structural changes to open up the main floor, all the plumbing, upgrading the electrical, new HVAC, new floors, 3 washrooms and the entire basement. We were very nervous about the whole process as this was our first reno and had heard so many bad stories. However the experience was great and the result was even better. Somerset was super thorough while delivering great build quality and staying on budget and on time. One massive benefit was that we were able to work very fluidly and they demonstrated great flexibility and advice on build options as they came up. They used great trades people who spoke very highly of them which made us feel good the whole way through. They were tremendous when it came to communication and guidance and we are very happy and confident in our house now.
