Our old bungalow was getting too "cozy" for our growing family, with two kids and one more on the way. Also, my husband's mother sadly passed away and his father was left all alone so we invited him to share our home. We decided to lower the basement and create a separate entrance, which means underpinning the house - that took care of my father-in-law. We also planned out a second-floor addition with an office, bedroom and an extra bathroom. It was a big project. We hired an architect and a builder and got all the necessary permits done. Unfortunately, the builder had sudden and serious health problems (like lots of people in 2021) and had to walk away from the project. The architect recommended a replacement and set up a meeting with Rob and Jim from Primo Contracting. After a lot of consideration and few days of them coordinating the tradespeople, Rob called and said they will be able to get the job done for the same budget and keeping approximately the same schedule, which was a huge relief for us. Now nine months later the project is complete and everyone is moved in. My father-in-law loves his beautiful independent apartment with his own entry and we love our second-floor addition, the oak stairs are beautiful the penny tile in the washrooms look amazing. We like everything. They also refinished all our trim work on the main floor, smoothed out the walls and repainted the whole house. After the siding went on it doesn't even look like an addition, looks like it's always been a two-story house. We are very happy with their work and appreciate them taking on such a complicated project in short notice. Thank you PRIMOCON, you are a lifesaver.
