Top To Bottom Renovations/Maintenance

My fiancee and I wanted to badly update our backyard as it looked quite dated. Previous owners expanded the patio, but it wasn't done correctly and grass was growing through the patio and it just looked it's age.

I reached out to a couple of places, but most never responded or they had a minimum of $5,000 regardless of size of project, which based on how small our project was, seemed a little ridiculous.

Thankfully I found Chris from Top to Bottom Renovation. We made an appt to look at the project and he was here early for the appointment, and based on the busy summer season he wasn't able to come immediately, which was OK with me.

Chris came the week after Labour Day (our agreed upon week) and finished the entire project in 3 days. Which was removing all old stones, re-doing the fill and then placing new stones down. However, our challenge was that we live in a townhouse complex, so getting the old stones out and new stones in wasn't easy. Chris never worried and the entire project was done.

Our new patio looks great and would highly recommend Chris for any project!

Horrible Experience!!!!
I hired this company to extend my deck after i checked the rating on homestars. My deck is 10 feet high.
Shortly after this team started the job, one of the builder's contractors knocked on my door and told me the deck was not being built to code and advised me to fix the issue because it will be a safety hazard. I asked Chris about this and he assured me 1000% that he was going by the code (I admit i should have gotten an inspector right then but i did not). A year later, i had few people in the industry tell me the same thing about the deck. Since we were considering to sell the house, i got an inspector to inspect the deck. it FAILED inspection and the inspector said it was a Safety Hazard!!!
I emailed Chris about the issue and asked him to come and fix the deck to get it to code but he refused claiming the deck was built to code. I even advised him that i would take him to court if he failed to come and fix his errors. He again refused. I am now in the process of fixing the deck, which is costing me a fortune because all the contractors i got told me they have never seen anything as bad as this!!
I have attached the pictures that show clearly how bad this job was. IF you are considering this company for any type of work, my advise is to get an inspector to inspect their work.

I wanted a kitchen island and closet storage installed. Having no knowledge of cost or where to start with these projects I entered my project on the HomeStars site and was contacted by several contractors.

Chris came by my home and provided a cost estimate and suggestions for the project. He was professional and came prepared with suggestions and samples of granite for my countertop. His price was significantly less than one of the other contractors. This helped me to feel secure in going with Chris for my projects. I didn’t feel pressured to make a decision or to provide too much money up front.

Chris was responsive to my various requests and showed up when he said he would. The results of both the kitchen island and closet storage projects were above my expectations. In addition, Chris completed a few other tasks around my home that I was unable to complete myself, which I was grateful for – installing a large light fixture, hanging a mirror and caulking my bathroom.

I would highly recommend Chris for projects, he did a great job for me and I’m loving my new kitchen island and closet storage!

Top to bottom renovations completed our lovely deck in a very timely and cost efficient manner. They are a very professional company and have designed and executed a space that has really expanded our outdoor living space. Now we are able to enjoy our backyard as a result of the deck that Top to Bottom constructed.

I was contacted by this home owner who was left in a very serious time sensitive predicament when another contractor had left her in limbo for an accessibility project that needed to be done. As a result of an inability to leave her home for medical treatment she required an access ramp from her bedroom with an exterior door/window so that she could be taken to a hospital if needed. After applying for affordable housing modifications and funding we completed the project on a tight deadline before the cold weather set in. She was so grateful for the effort and work done.

We have used Top to Bottom renovations many times in our home. Most recently we remodelled our kitchen. We are extremely happy with the professional work that was done. Chris is reliable, friendly and trustworthy. I would highly recommend Top to Bottom.

Chris Wanschura picked up, delivered and installed 9 interior doors and 3 bi-fold closet doors in our home, replacing hinges, doorknobs and adjusting the door sizes, where necessary, to fit existing framework. He also disposed of the old doors and hardware. During the approximately 2-1/2 days he was in our home, he was very prompt, efficient and congenial. We are very pleased with the end result.

I am a property manager and I contract Top to Bottom to conduct general repair, major repair, repaint, hardwood floor repair for my managed properties. I found them reliable in their work, on time in their delivery , particularly in a clean and professional manner. Their most recent job for me is for a 2500 sq.ft. condo in downtown that needs a lot of work including repainting, cleaning, miscellaneous repairs, ceiling touch up and other inspection. The delivery was in atimely manner and very professional.

I had my bathroom renovated about 6 months ago and I'm quite content of the work done. Everything was exactly what I was told and anticipated for including the material used, quality of the work being performed and time. I recommend Top to Bottom!

General repairs get piled up and occasionally you need someone to come in and do quick fixes and quick improvements. Although, many companies don't like doing the smaller jobs it is a relief when you find one that does it and these guys were in and out real quick and did the required maintenance professionally without minding the laundry list of items and directions.
