We were lucky enough to have the Mizen team do some remodeling of our house and were so impressed…read moreby their work. The owners are very knowledgeable and detail oriented and they have assembled a team of quality craftspeople who take pride in their work. They built us a beautiful bathroom, moving doors and plumbing and reconfiguring the whole room. They also fixed some problems they found along the way and they problem-solved for some tricky sloping floors. They are very easy to work with as well. All in all, they made the entire experience easy and pleasant and our whole bottom floor is more functional and beautiful. Huge thanks to Ciaran, Mark, and the whole team!

We used Mizen for a fairly full remodel and were incredibly happy with the results and overall…read moreexperience. For context on the scope of work, we moved our kitchen, removed a bathroom, added a bathroom, replaced doors, added skylights, and redid almost all of the electrical and plumbing in a house that was originally built in 1908 and hadn't been updated since the 70s. They went down to the studs on half the house and we have basically a new house coming out of it. We worked with Mark and Ciaran and the project took 6 months. We'd highly recommend working with Mizen and we'd use them again in a heartbeat. We feel like they delivered an excellent product, were highly communicative, stayed on budget, and we'll definitely be using them again for any future work. So the short of it is that Mizen was fantastic but below are a few more thoughts on specific areas.  Work quality - Mark and Ciaran are craftsmen and they have a strong attention to detail. We felt like they were thoughtful throughout the entire process. It was clear they were very focused on delivering an excellent project rather than optimizing for what was easier or faster for them. They sweat the details. There were also areas that we didn't know to ask for but they pushed on. As an example, they laid the tile in our kitchen such that the midline of the tile hit the center of our oven perfectly. That wasn't something we asked for, it wasn't in the architects plans, and I'm sure it required extra work, but they did it and it's one of the subtle details I most appreciate about the kitchen.  Budget  - My wife and I were quite focused on costs for our project. We found Mizen very reasonably priced and responsive to our budget. They were only slightly higher than some of the other options we considered but we felt like their work quality would be better. We also thought their cost estimate was more thoughtful and therefore less likely to be wildly over budget relative to the alternatives. We did end up going slightly over our original budget but for two reasons that were outside of Mizen's control. The first was around some unforeseen structural issues that they discovered upon opening the walls. We have an old house and anticipated some changes like this. It came out to ~2% of our overall budget and we ended up very glad that they addressed these underlying issues. The second area where we went over our original budget was for things we decided to add mid-construction. We ended up replacing some doors and making a few minor cosmetic changes while we were doing the other work. Again, we're very glad we did it and don't regret the increase. For all the change orders we added, we never felt like Mizen was pressuring us or doing it just to drive up the bill. We felt like they had our budget and overall best interest in mind throughout.  Timing - The project ended up going over our original target by 3 weeks. On a 6 month project that happened in the middle of the tariff blow up, we felt like it was a pretty great outcome. We feel like they made a big push at the end to get us back in the house ahead of a hard deadline we had.  Other - We felt like the Mizen team was also great about dealing with our neighbors. There were a few areas where they want above and beyond what the structural engineer recommended and didn't charge us for it. I've already recommended Mizen to multiple friends. They're fantastic and we'd love to work with them again.

We've had a great experience with Essa, and we're feeling so thankful that we found him and…read morereceived his help in our home! We definitely recommend him to any of our friends and family! He always arrived on time first thing in the morning, the projects were completed when he estimated they would be done, and the work is well done and beautiful. He cleans the space nicely when the project is finished. He is a straightforward and responsive communicator and offers a fair price. I also really appreciate that he easily helps out where needed, like helping to move furniture or doing smaller repairs. Over the past five years we've done multiple home improvement projects with three different contractors before Essa and each time the projects ended with frustration and disappointment, each time for different reasons, and it left us feeling always worried we could never find someone new who is trustworthy, on time, and delivers well done work. Essa was all of those things for us, and we have now hired him on three recent projects, two large projects (floor installation for entire floor of our home and opening an outdoor stair and drain and replacing everything) and also a collection of small repairs, painting, and installations around our home, and all has gone well and looks great! Thank you Essa! We will definitely be in touch for any help needed in our home in the future!

We had a tight 3 month timeline because we had a baby on the way and we needed to stick to the budget. Our job had several complexities, including moving a toilet, moving walls, relocating an exterior doorway, switching from a gas to an induction range, and navigating some tricky permitting issues with some old construction that had been done by the prior owners. Valex did an amazing job, and they were enjoyable to work with. Despite the tight timeline, they took the time to do things right and we couldn't be happier with the end result. We were able to move back in before the baby arrived and we're so excited to be in our new space. After the remodel, they checked in several times and offered to come back to touch up small details where we had feedback. Thanks for everything Konstantin & Val, I appreciate all of the hard work that you put into making our space into a home for our growing family.

North Bay Construction has been my go-to general contractor for over a decade, and I recommend them…read morewithout hesitation for both major renovations and smaller repair work. ** Long-term projects and scope ** Over the last 10+ years, they have completed three large projects at my home, adding roughly 2,500 square feet of new space. This has included a two-story vaulted-ceiling entertainment room, a workout room, three bathrooms, a master bedroom, a home office, and an entirely new facade, all integrated seamlessly into the existing house. On top of that, they have handled more than a dozen smaller jobs for me, such as a half-bath remodel, a larger bathroom remodel, several leak repairs, and most recently an insulated storage area. ** Quality, follow-through, and fairness ** Their workmanship has been consistently high-quality, and just as important, they stand by everything they build. On the rare occasions when something was not quite right or needed adjustment, they returned and fixed it promptly with no pushback or debate. Their billing has always been fair and transparent, and they work efficiently without dragging projects out longer than necessary. ** Professionalism and neighbor relations ** North Bay Construction's team is professional, respectful, and easy to have on site over long periods of construction. They are polite and thoughtful with neighbors, which matters a lot when you are doing large additions that affect noise, access, and parking. I've seen them navigate those complex neighbor dynamics with patience and tact, helping keep relationships around us positive during disruptive phases of the work. ** Responsiveness and problem-solving ** One of the things I value most is how quickly they respond when something needs attention. If an urgent issue comes up on site, they are often able to come by within the hour to assess and address it. The team is smart, proactive, and willing to jump in rather than letting problems linger, which has given me a lot of confidence throughout each project. ** Overall recommendation ** After working with North Bay Construction on multiple major additions and many smaller projects over more than a decade, I trust them completely with my home. They combine strong craftsmanship, fair billing, excellent communication, and real accountability, and I plan to continue using them for any future renovations or repairs.
