Towne Contracting

Towne renovated my family home that 30 years old. The floor throughout the main floor, kitchen, 2 full bathrooms, 1 powder room, family room, living room, and dining room. Inclusive of pot lights, door trims, crown moldings, window trims and baseboards. Also remade our fireplace and ran gas to it, the stove and outside to my BBQ. Installed our new appliances and upgraded our fuse box all ac outlets to be kid proof, dimmers for pot lights, and wire for speakers and installed in wall speakers in the family room Additionally networked the house with cat6 and cable rg60 to multiple rooms. Removed the pop corn ceilings and refinished hardwood floors. They even found the new door hardware we were looking for replacing all door handles on every door. These guy have been awesome to work with. Delivered within timeframes and did the job right and gave me honest recommendations along the way and let me know of additional costs. However weekly updates on cost updates would have been better to keep track via email but it was a hustle to get us in time for Christmas. All and all our house is amazing and everyone loves it. We are very pleased and impressed with the work they did. We would continue to use Towne and recommend to our family and friends. They worked well with our designers on the phone an via email. These guys are like family and welcome in our house anytime! They even came back to help on an emergency pipe that was leaking and replaced ceiling tiles ruined in the basement. I hope I got it all.

We worked with Dan and Steve for our kitchen renovation in mid-2013 and would highly recommend them. The project involved removing a load-bearing wall, updating the baseboards and smoothing the stucco ceilings on the entire main floor, relocating plumbing, converting the cooktop to gas, and more! They are very professional, do quality work and go above and beyond to give advice to make sure your project is a success. They bring in other professionals when needed so you always know the job is being done right - from structural engineers to electricians. We are very happy with our beautiful new kitchen and main floor - thank you Dan, Steve, Tom, Andre, and the rest of the Towne team!!

We hired Town Contracting to restore our basement. Steve and his team did a fantastic job. They were very polite, paid close attention to detail, and identified and implemented extras that were small but that made a huge difference in the end result. When we identified an electrical issue that made us nervous, Steve came right over on a Friday night to take a look and fix. We look forward to our next project, so that we can hire Towne Contracting.

The best compliment I could give Steve and Dan from Towne is that I would absolutely hire them again (and I will next year for the basement reno!!!). You will not find a more honest and reliable contractor... no job too big or too small. They say what they'll do and they do what they say. In addition to a full kitchen reno, they blew out my back door and window and installed beautiful 10' patio doors, they moved a load bearing wall, they redid stairs, they refinished floors, they installed appliances. And you know what, they became like family after a while, because they treated my family and I with such respect, it was like having "Cousins Steve, Dan" and the boys working in my house. They were on budget and super trustworthy. And best of all, the end result looks AMAZING... we get breathless comments on our reno all the time... I've already referred Towne to a couple I've known for 30 years, and they too were happy with their reno. I will post some pics soon. Some people have unrealistic expectations that renos will always go smoothly, but there are always unexpected issues through no one's fault... Towne always dealt promptly with these issues and always informed us of our options. Anyway, I can't say enough... if all contractors were like Towne, Mike Holmes would be out of business... these guys are true professionals that treat people as they would their own family. Thanks Steve and Dan... will be calling you for the basement soon. I only wish I had more renos to do LOL!

Steve and his team did a great job in our main floor powder room. Steve is very knowledgeable and we fully trusted his opinion. They completed the job in a timely and courteous manner, and we were very happy with the final results. We also got them to install trim on the floor moulding around our house. This job was also quickly done as Steve brought in extra crew members to make sure it got done in a day, as promised. All around, we are very happy with Steve's work, and we are looking forward to using him and his team again on our next home renovation!

Towne Contracting is a company that is genuinely concerned that you are completely satisfied with your final product.

We needed to completely re-do our upstairs main bathroom this past summer. We have all heard the stories of renovations gone horribly wrong- so I was a bit nervous about hiring a contracting company that we have not worked with before. After our experience with Steve Meze and his crew at Towne Contracting, it turns out that we had nothing to worry about. They took care of us right until the end.

During the renovations, there were a couple of things we were not satisfied with. The bath/shower area was a challenge since our walls are quite uneven- and we unfortunately chose an overparticular I-inch glass mosaic running up to the ceiling, combined with a wave-like tile. The first time around did not go as planned. For anyone. But I knew it wasn't going to be a problem- and it wasn't. The next day it was re-done, and at no extra charge. Then the light fixtures didn't end up exactly where we wanted them initially- again no problem- the next day they were simply moved to the right spot.

After all, when doing renovations, you are the one that has to live with it.

The people from Towne Contracting who worked in our home were respectful, quiet and pleasant to be around, and made our renovation a positive experience: the way renovating should be.

My wife and I hired Towne to totally gut the master bathroom in a house we recently bought in the Annex and they were nothing short of great. To do what we wanted done was not without challenges and whenever they arose Steve, Milan and Stuart tackled them head on in a totally transparent and professional way. While we were slightly behind schedule the end product is amazing with a keen sense of detail and craftsmanship that exceeded even our lofty ambitions. Would happily recommend them to any and all.

I have gone through numerous renovations and home projects involving a contractor and none have come close to the expertise and execution that Towne Contracting provided.

Living in an older city home I had only one washroom located on the 2nd floor and decided to extend the front of the house to allow for a powder room on the main floor and an en-suite on the 2nd floor. After the experiences I had with other contractors I wanted to rely on more than one opinion which lead me to the Homestars website and ultimately Towne Contracting.

Towne contracting had extremely detailed and reasonable quotes when compared to the other contractors. From Steve's friendly demeanour, detailed and reasonable quote, and well a ton of very happy reviews from Homestars, it made only sense to go with Towne Contracting.

This project was highly complicated from all angles; involving strict city regulations, permits, engineers and basically every trade necessary to build a house. That being said I base my 10/10 review on the following categories which i think any veteran home renovator will agree with:

1)Craftsmanship and overall quality of work
2)Timelines
3)Cleanliness of job site throughout each project
4)Communication and etiquette
5)Ideas and problem solving abilities
6)Successfully keeping in budget with quote.

Steve and his crew literally nailed this project and I can not express how happy I am with the way things turned out. I am even more excited that I now do not need to ever look for another contractor for my home improvements. If you are lucky enough to have Towne Contracting available to work on your project I can assure you things will be done with the utmost professionalism and craftsmanship. Love my new washrooms and love Towne Contracting.

We hired Towne Contracting in April 2013 for significant construction work on our kitchen renovation. We had a great experience. They were thorough, timely and professional. I was very comfortable with all the trades they brought into our home. They continually updated us throughout the project and were always easy to access when we had questions. We have hired other contractors in the past but Towne is definitely the contractor we will use for our next renovation.

We planned a complete overhaul of a 2200 sq foot condominium following our retirement. Steve's team at Towne Contracting was able to deliver on our vision, making our project a huge success. Renovations are never easy as even with a designer it is never possible to plan every detail and every obstacle in advance. However, there are 3 reasons why we would highly recommend Towne Contracting:

1. Flexibility
Steve's team showed tremendous flexibility as plans changed and unforeseen circumstances presented themselves. They also did a great job working with a designer they had never met and a condo management team with very strict rules. We also hired a separate company for our flooring and Steve worked very well in liaising with them.

2. Quality
They didn't stop until everyone was happy with the final product, and took pride in their work. This is very important in a business where some contractors try to get in and out as quickly as possible. The project went on longer than expected, but this was largely because of the scope of the project got larger with time.

3. Pricing
Their pricing is very competitive for the quality that was delivered.
We added many additional jobs from our original contract, and Steve was very flexible in pricing these.

Thank you Steve for a job well done! We are very happy with the final product!
