This was my first time using a contractor for something. Darek, the owner, was very kind, patient…read moreand thorough from start to finish. The estimate he gave me was very detailed, explaining each step of the work with associated costs, and it was the lowest of three estimates I got. Even though the work ended up costing quite a bit more than the original estimate due to unforeseen circumstances, it was still the lowest cost. I was worried about having no kitchen during the work (4 days) but each day when the crew was finished, they spent half an hour rolling back the plastics, vaccuming and cleaning up so I was able to access everything and use my kitchen! Work done was removing soffitt above cabinets, rewiring electric, setting up a vent system for a hood fan, installing a microwave hood, raising the cabinets and priming the walls (I painted). That was another thing I liked about Darek -- he told me anything I wanted to do myself just let him know and he'd take it off the bill. I am usually a do-it-your-selfer but this work was all beyond my skills&strength. I'm extremely pleased with the results and would highly recommend Darek and his crew, Jarek and Isaac.

Lifetime just completed my basement renovation December 2017. I am very pleased and plan on using…read morethem for more work around my house. Pros: Initial meeting was very professional. Marc provided an estimate the same day he reviewed the job. The team of workers were very professional as well. They typically showed up between 8:30-9:00 a.m. M-F and worked a full day to about 4:30 or 5:00 p.m. They really worked with me and around my schedule. Since I was usually working during the day the workers would call me during the day with any issues or questions and we would face time a lot during the design stage. Cons: Let me start by saying I am very pleased with my bathroom BUT it is not what I requested. For some reason there was some type of confusion as to what I wanted. I contracted for a full bathroom with bath tub, shower, and a linen closet. - The bathroom ended up getting designed with a walk in shower only. No tub. No linen closet. - Again it's lovely but not what I really wanted. I had major plumbing work that had to be completed. (Worst part of the project) The plumber worked maybe 4 or 5 days and left a big mess after each visit. I wasn't as concerned for the mess in the basement work area but they had to cut the walls on my main level to reach some pipes. They cut 3 separate walls on the main floor and left all kinds of mess for me to clean. Mud, dust etc. I would have appreciated if the plumber cleaned up after himself just like the carpenters and electrician did. They fixed the walls that were cut but only repainted the small portion of the wall where the cut out was made so of course the paint color does not really match the color that was there. I will have to end up re-painting the entire walls of each of those 3 rooms. I wasn't planning on doing that. I was told the job would take 7 weeks. It ended up taking 10 weeks. (not super bad) There were a few days (about 5) where I was told they would be there to work and then didn't show up for one reason or another. Also there was a little confusion about the flooring I wanted. I said I wanted either a stained floor to look like wood or some kind of tile that looked liked wood. - I ended up getting ceramic tile that looks like wood. - I ended up being charged extra for the tile I chose. I was never given a budget for the flooring and thought that my quote price would have included the flooring. I ended up being charged extra for my flooring choice which I didn't anticipate. I know things are never perfect when doing construction. The few cons were a bit annoying but not super major for me. Overall I think they did a great job and I plan on using them again.

He appeared extremely professional, came into the unit to give estimate with a clipboard. Asked me what I wanted and then it went all downhill. It was quite an extensive amount of work that needed to be done. He immediately starting questioning my funding in front of the seller. It got so bad I had to say, We can discuss your financial concerns, but the seller doesn't need to be privy to this level of my business. We leave out and he seems ok again, just wanted to be sure I could get the funding. I'm like no problem can you put the bid in tonight. He says ok. I call him the next morning because the bid hasn't been submitted and he is like Oh I was really busy yesterday. Ill TRY to get to it by the end of the day. Again he did not, After a week goes by. I ask do you want this job... He says to be honest I would have passed if I knew it was all this work that needed to be done. At that point I was done. We no longer need to communicate. Worse experience EVER!!!

I have never left an online review for anything in my life. However, Greg's outstanding service and…read morethe quality of his work compelled me to write this out of gratitude. I hired Greg to build a deck in my backyard after another contractor left the job half-finished and several other contractors refused to take it on. It was not only half-done, but done with the wrong materials, and the biggest headache was that the previous contractor had not dug the holes for the concrete posts deep enough and the city inspector ordered us to disassemble the entire frame, dig deeper holes, and repour the concrete. It was a nightmare of a job, but Greg agreed to take it on at a very reasonable price. He faced major setbacks that could not be predicted (for example, digging deeper holes was much harder than expected because of tree roots and rocks, there were supply issues with materials, etc.). However, Greg took these on without complaining and without charging much more than his estimate. I'm no expert when it comes to construction, and he offered plenty of advice and suggestions when making certain decisions. You can tell he truly cares not only about the quality of his work but also the people he is working with. He is always on time, polite, and takes on challenges without hesitation. I'm absolutely delighted with the quality of the new deck. I'm so glad that I found Greg during what was a very stressful time for me and my family due to the previous contractor, and I would use him again in a heartbeat as well as recommend him to anyone I know.

We bought a house and needed one bathroom to be redone, another to be built from the ground up, and…read morealso a room under the roof to be stripped to the joist and rebuilt. The project involved some plumbing, some electrical work, some tiling, installation of different bathroom fixtures, drywall, painting, putting wood trim, putting up doors and we also had some structural adjustments to take care of. We had a time line of three weeks to do all that and a budget that couldn't be stretched too thin. It was the middle of the summer and we knew all the contractors would be busy or very expensive. We called a few and requested estimates. Kris and Darek came up with the most reasonable estimates and they were ready to work within our timeline. Plus, they were the most competent. They pointed out things that the others simply didn't see (like the copper pipes we had in the basement that all the other contractors missed and wanted us to get). The work started and, that same evening, my girlfriend and I went to see the site. We were so surprised to discover that, while they had work their butt off all day long and progressed at giant steps, they had left the work site absolutely spotless. No tools thrown everywhere, no dirt and debris on the floors, no dangerous electrical wires hanging. They had swept the floors and organized all the waste in plastic bags. As the work progressed we discovered a few problems that the walls had hidden. Every time, Kris and Darek informed us of the best way to deal with them and worked the price in a very, very reasonable fashion if they needed to do some extensive fixing. We felt we could really trust them. And their attitude was always pleasant and easy going. The rebuilt bathroom turned out a little masterpiece. As we looked at it when it was finished, we realized how solid the craftsmanship was, but it was second to none to the attention to details. The second bathroom was also impeccable. We loved it. The newly remodeled bedroom had been done in a sturdy and beautiful fashion. Again, we saw they really knew what they were doing. And, although we kept on asking for more work, as we saw how good they were, they respected the time line we had and managed to finish on schedule. We've been living with the work they've done for about 3 months now, I wanted to see how their work would hold up before I write a review. And I have two children that test every piece of the house to the limit. Well, I'm happy to report that nothing has moved. Everything is strong, reliable and gorgeous. They also recommended one other contractor to take care of the gutters and install a couple down spout. Those people were as reliable, as easy to deal with and did as good of the job as Kris and Darek did for us. Our basement hasn't had a sip of water since the gutters were fixed. We got incredible lucky to find Kris and Darek. We already have recomended their name to someone else who had the same experience as us. The work is spot on, the attitude is very nice to deal with, the attention to details is incredible, the price is right and they respect the constraints of time, I couldn't give any less than five stars.

They also built our radiator boxes to protect our 13 month old from the old metal covers that were already in place. When the heat turned on a few months later we realized the pipes along the wall feeding into the radiator were also very hot. They came back and built new boxes covering the hot pipes for free! They get the job done and if any problems arise they just fix it. They are great guys and I highly recommend them!
