Anlif Fine Homes

After interviewing many contractors, I was lucky enough to be introduced to Favian from Anlif Fine Homes. Favian grew up in this business started by his Father, and his knowledge, demeanor, and patience is built on those years.

From the start, Favian got to know us and took the time to dig into our requirements. Through this process, he helped us make a number of decisions up front based on real budget numbers for materials and trades, as well as understand where the "good places" are to spend the money. (we have all watched too many reno shows and think we know the business, we don't).

Once the process started, Favian and his crew did not miss a beat. He was available for any meetings and was present during any decisions that needed to be made along the way so that they would not impact the schedule. This is critical, as he helps understand the impact of changes, lead times, sequence of operations in the build etc. Real Project Manager type stuff.

End of the day, here's where we landed:
- Solidly Built quality home that everyone loves
- We were on Schedule! Honestly.
- We were 5% over budget, our material changes
- Neighbors commented on the clean jobsite and polite crews

Yes, we would hire Favian and Anlif to build another house for us.

Anlif did a phenomenal job on the full renovation and extension of our 1936 Tudor home in upper forest hill. Favian was terrific to work with and the home feels very solid and looks amazing.

Favian, thank you for the reno! We are so happy we didn’t move and invested to update our home. As with all Reno’s, always over budget, but the results exceeded our expectations! Thank you for making it easier to pivot to other colors and products that were not in stock. You are excellent at making people confident making the right choice! Some before and after pics !!

Favian was amazing and so easy to work with! He was patient and always available. He helped work within a budget and he took a lot of pride in the project that resulted in a beautiful home!

After a long design process were quite happy to have been recommended to talk to Favian with Anlif. We did speak with a few other contractors and decided to go with Favian as his prices were in line with others, he was no nonsense, covered everything we wanted and even talked us out of some higher end products which in the end was the right move.

Throughout the project he was communicative as was his crews. There were no surprise extras which he made clear during quoting he doesn't quote low and make up with extras. He worked well with our designer and our kitchen people which is a family friend.

We started with a small bungalow approx 1000 square feet and are very happy with our large 2 storey house. While it is impossible for everything aspect to go 100% perfect and there were a couple minor issues Favian without hesitation made these good with additional cost to us.

Before we met with any contractors we were feeling anxious about the build process however once work got underway our anxieties were gone.

Overall we are very happy with Anlif and Favian, we highly recommend speaking with him.

When we decided to renovate our home, we spend a lot of time meeting with different builders / contractors. We finally decided on Anlif Construction, based on our meetings with Favian. We were impressed with his knowledge, values, organizing skills and helpful ideas. Initially we were concerned about the process, quality of the work and completion date as we were travelling when some of the work was being completed. However our fears were very quickly put to rest as it became quite obvious that we had nothing to worry about. We received regular project updates from Favian showing the progress vs. the project plan via e-mail.

Favian’s team exceeded our expectations with their project management, quality of work, job cleanliness, suggestions, people skills and time management. Favian and his team were extremely adaptable and made adjustments on the go, in order to keep the project on schedule and on budget.

From our first meeting, Favian demonstrated his committed to achieving the highest level of customer satisfaction. As the project commenced it also became clear that he took great pride in the quality of the work and the attention paid to small details. Working with them was a delightful experience.

Thanks to Favian and his skilled and extremely qualified professionals, we now have a beautiful renovation that we will be able to enjoy for years to come.

If you were contemplating a renovation project, I would highly recommend Favian and Anlif Construction. After our project was completed, our daughter and husband hired Favian for their basement renovation and they were as delighted with their experience as we were with ours.

I would highly recommend. Anlif Fine Homes. They were professional, clean and did the work with minimal disruption. Their work product was superb. They worked with us to deal with any issues that arose and did the work in a timely manner.

Favian rebuilt our house and added a second storey three years ago. Our home was delivered on time and he stayed within the budget that we were comfortable with. Favian was very good at communicating with us regularly . Overall we very happy with the experience. We would use him again and have already referred him to others.

Due to an unforeseen family situation we had to have our entire basement finished into an in law suite in 2008. They managed to stay within our very tight timeline and came in on budget down to the dollar. Everything was done very professional, we knew what was happening every step of the way. Very happy with the overall experience.

We hired Favian to add a bedroom over our garage, add two bathrooms and renovate another. In addition we had floors replaced, a wall removed and a number of other items - a large job overall!

He did an absolutely fantastic job. Hos quote was very reasonable. He was easy to work with and would regularly respond to us almost immediately. He was diligent and truly took interest in not just completing the job but doing it right!
