Whole house renovation of our 50’s bungalow

James was a pleasure to work with! We were away for the whole duration of the renovation of our 50s 8 ceilings bungalow, and James and his team were very reliable and professional! I dealt with any unexpected issues and changes over FaceTime calls, and James took care of everything. The workmanship is excellent! He had to remove all the subfloors throughout the house to sister up new floor joists to level the VERY uneven floors. All doorways were made wider and taller, two beautiful skylights were installed, EXACTLY where and how I wanted them placed, the two bathroom floors replaced and the ensuite got a new shower base and glass and a new vanity and sink, ceilings were replaced, potlights and ceiling fixtures were added throughout the house, new closets, wardrobes and closet inserts, a new kitchen installed using a cabinet maker who James works with and recommended, beautiful job done on the backsplash tiling, lighter hardwood floors installed throughout the house. Part of a wall was removed to open the space up in the kitchen, ductwork had to be moved in the ceiling (we have no basement), beams were inserted into the ceiling space to open up the archways in the house, and when James saw the poor condition of the existing roof he took care of replacing that too. I am VERY happy with how everything turned out and with the workmanship throughout! There was an issue with the kitchen countertop installation, but James supported me 100% and helped solve the issue. It was in no way his fault that the problem happened in the first place.
I highly recommend OHara contracting! Reliable, responsive and knows his stuff!!!

Basement Bathroom Addition

James and his team were incredible to work with! All of the trades who partnered on the project were professional, quiet (I work from home and hardly had any noise), and efficient. This was a full bathroom addition with plumbing needing to be roughed in. The process was quick, fully completed within 4 weeks but most of the work completed in 3 weeks (aside from shower glass that needed to be ordered). They are friendly and communicative and the quality of work is top notch. Would definitely recommend and use again in future! Thanks for all your support during the reno!

Structural Wall Removal

My wife and I couldnt be happier with the work James and his crew did at our house to remove a structural wall. It turned out fantastic! We love how open it is now between our kitchen and living room and dining room. The thing I appreciated most with James is that he is really happy to think of creative solutions rather than just create more work that doesnt need to be done. Multiple contractors wanted us to rip out our flooring but James came up with such a simple solution, which we were so happy with. He said hes not trying to gouge anyone and offers honest, fair prices and I can confirm he stands by his word. That really meant a lot to us.

We also really appreciated the conversations with his entire crew: Adam, Justin, and Jack are all incredibly hard workers, and just a pleasure to see on the daily.

Please dont hesitate to call James and his crew. They truly provide a wonderful contracting service from start to finish. A++++

Bathroom Renovation

From first contact with James, I've had nothing but a great experience. He stayed in contact, followed up with me and kept me informed of timelines and how things progressed. Very professional approach. Justin, Jack and all of the subcontractors he worked with were brilliant as well.

The renovation itself exceeded our expectations. The room had to be completely gutted, floor leveled, new drywall in places and ceiling plastered.

We are already looking at getting James and the crew back for more work in the future.

Bathroom renovation

James and his team turned what was a small, office space into a three piece bathroom. Our house is very old - built in 1905 - and James knew that we wanted to have a fully functioning bathroom with old school charm. His crew members made suggestions along the way that we greatly appreciated; a custom shower, light grey grout versus black, tile that looks like wood but is safe for a bathroom. James was in constant communication with us, understanding when we were not available (we have small children, so this was very helpful). James and his team gave us a beautiful bathroom that our family can benefit from in the short term as well as the long term, regarding re-sale value. Should we choose to do any other home renovations, we will definitely be using James and his team again.
