We contracted Surfside Builders Group to do a basement renovation which included installing a new bathroom. Site supervisor Simon did an excellent job of coordinating the many sub-contractors to ensure that the project kept on schedule. As a result, our renovation project was completed on schedule which is something you don’t hear very often with home renovations. The sub-contractors showed up when expected and completed their work in a professional manner. We were very happy with the completed basement renovation, the quality of work and the attention to detail. We would definitely recommend Surfside Builders Group for any home renovations you are considering.

Core Value Highlighted in this Experience: Knowledge & ExpertiseSimply outstanding. We've had 5 separate contractors work on our antique Victorian home over the last 15 years, all engaged to implement modern, state-of-the-art, minimalist/contemporary design directions within our 1896 exterior. Without question --and by a large margin --Simon and his colleagues at Surfside Builders Group remain the hands-down winners in every respect. We would be hard-pressed to put our admiration of and appreciation for Simon and Surfside Builders Group into words: they delivered superlative work under or within spitting distance of our budget; there were no surprises on budget or timing; their communication is excellent; their trades are highest quality in performance.

Core Value Highlighted in this Experience: PassionFrom the outset, and throughout the project, Surfside Builders Group staff were a pleasure to work with. They provided a package for our condominium corporation containing all necessary documents required -corporation application form, electrical and plumbing company licenses, insurance details, etc. The contractors were experts in their trade, respected our property and a pleasure to have in our home, since we lived there throughout the renovation. The results were everything we hoped for. The highlight of the project was working with Simon, a true expert, whose professionalism, and attention to detail ensured that the result was beyond our expectations We would not hesitate to recommend Surfside Builders Group to anyone.
