Leigh Fenwick from Old Toronto

My husband and I required the full conversion of a semi detached duplex, built in the early 1960’s, into a single family home. The semi required extensive renovation and updating. After an exhaustive search for the right contractor, which included a detailed bill of material and an official tender to multiple contractors, my husband and I confidently selected Classic View. From the get-go, Omri responded positively and energetically to all of our queries. His attention to detail in the proposal, along with adherence to his quote (It’s his guarantee!) , assured us were in the hands of a trustworthy and experienced contractor. Classic View won the bid easily and the interior demolition began on April 4, 2011. During the spring of 2011 my husband and I were both working long hours, far away from the construction site. Omri and his team made us an active part of the transformation during this time: Picture updates; Text message status updates; Weekly meetings in the evenings, on site. The Classic View team worked very long hours each day, and with the consistent communication coming from Omri, we were made to feel at ease with the large scope of changes happening daily at the house. Throughout the renovation, we would deviate from the original design, on occasion, based on recommendations from Omri and team. These changes enhanced spaces, created better traffic flow, and took into account more abstract ideas that blue print planning often misses, such as repositioning a window to better enhance natural lighting in a room . You’re not just getting a contractor when you hire Omri, you are getting someone who is versed in design, someone who understands the practical and the aesthetic and knows how to merge the two. During the most intense part of the renovation, when all the elements were coming together, Omri remained in constant contact with us along with timelines and his goals which made us feel involved. It was a stressful time in our lives, but now that the renovation is complete and we have a brand new beautiful home (and perfect little baby girl!) we could not be happier. The contracting industry can be a daunting and scary place for people like us who do not know the industry intimately (Holmes on Homes, anyone?). We were lucky to have found Omri and Classic View. No question. They proved themselves to be quality contractors and trustworthy individuals - resulting in a beautiful house that we are very proud of. You’ll be making the right decision if you choose Omri and his Team. Warmest Regards, Leigh, John& Adelaide Fenwick
