Modular Home Additions Inc.

Our project was adding 2nd floor to a raised bungalow with 1200 sf space at the main floor. It took Modular around 6 months from demo to finish the construction outside and inside. We are very satisfied with the process and the result. Dule, the owner of the company, was very easy to reach for any issues and concerns, and most problems were resolved within a couple of days. To expect a problem free process of a job like this scale is unrealistic. We had the rain issue right at the beginning during roof demo, but the Modular team handled the issue well and their positive attitude kept us going with the project.
Modular made all costs very transparent and prices are fair compared to the market. Their 20% extra on subcontractors cost, in my opinion, is well worth it. Most of their contractors provided top quality work and more importantly, they follow Modular’s schedule, so I don’t need to wait. All teams were organized to get work done.
Modular also provided the architect and legal services, which made our life much easier when applying for city building permit and several stages of inspection. Although not all of them went through smoothly, Modular provided huge help to get us pass these stages. I believe their expertise and experience in the industry played a big role.
We have lived in the new house since April, for 7 months. So it has been through most weather conditions without any issues so far. I hope it will remain issue free for a long time.
All in all, Dule and his team at Modular is reliable, dependable and deliver high quality results on time on budget with excellent customer experiences.

My wife, 2 boys (ages 9&11), and myself went through this project from Feb 2018-Dec 2018. We added a complete second story, and complete renovation of our ground floor. The people at Modular were able to work around our very busy schedule with very little time displaced.

All of the staff from Modular including the initial sales team, right up to opérations and the owner were very professional and courteous at all times. The trades people were always polite, and were very approachable. The whole team worked directly with us via email, text, and always answered the phone whenever I needed them.

Their efficiency is compared to none. By the time the roof was sheathed, the shingles were on the next day. It would often happen that extra personnel were sent to complete tasks that were required before the next phase. Most importantly, there were always people working on site. Sometimes, trades would work after hours and/or weekends to keep things going. Every week had something moving forward on average 5 days a week. Often the hinderance would only be ourselves not having detail decisions made yet for them to continue.

We were also able to modify the scope very easily, and have immediate conversation about extra costs, and sometimes costs reduced. This included adding a large French door out the back, which the construction manager already foreseen and had reinforced the whole back wall just in case.

At the end of project, we created a small list of items that we thought still had to be closed, and they were very open to discuss and attend to immediately. All permits were met and closed, and their accounting was fantastic with monthly summaries.

I am sure I am missing some things, but nothing bad. This team is a well oiled machine, and I have only compliments to preach. Projects like these can be very stressful, and this team was eager to help and answer questions to help the client through.

Would do it all over again. Thanks Modular.

We would highly recommend Modular Home Additions for many reasons: their professionalism and friendly approach, their initial quotation laying out clearly the cost of the project phases, taking care of permits, engineering and all other aspects of getting ready for the building phase, and keeping the site tidy which made our neighbours happy. The work was completed on time with a no stress approach which made the whole project much easier on us. Special thanks to Dule that has been by our side all along this project. Whenever we had a question or a concern, he always took the time to follow up with answers and solutions - very much appreciated.

We were referred to Modular by a friend who is extremely diligent in research before engaging in a contract with any company.
They were a pleasure to deal with throughout the entire process.
They managed our expectations well from, permits, planning, and executing the work.
We were able to complete a 2nd story addition with main floor gut with quality finishes in 3 and a half months. This is absolutely incredible.
Their tradesmen are professional, knowledgeable and their Project Managers are creative and thorough.
We love our new home and owe many thanks to the Modular Team.

We would certainly

We added a second floor to our bungalow, gutted and completely renovated the main floor too. These guys do excellent work. They are the most organized contractors I've ever dealt with. The staff is very professional and generally just nice to deal with.

The building crew was amazing and most of the contractors they brought in did really good work. We really didn't have to worry about the project and felt that we were in good hands for the entire build.

The team told us construction would take 5 months to complete and almost 5 months to the day, we moved back in. However, we still had a few small outstanding items to complete. Unfortunately, this was where things kinda fell apart for us. The process slowed down a little too much for our liking. It took more than 3 months to get some of those last items completed which was frustrating.

Despite this, I still felt our overall experience was good and if I had to do it again, I would hire Modular again.

After conducting extensive Research on adding a second storey to our Bungalow, we came across Modular Home Additions. Preliminary consultations about this project with Modular were then held, where it was determined that more money was needed to be saved before proceeding with this project.
Therefore, I decided to look at other options and consulted with 3 other contractors to see their respective quotes. We decided to start the project with one of three contractors we had talked with. We hired a designer through this designated contractor and acquired a permit from the city of Toronto. After obtaining the permit, this contractor did not honour the initial quote we had agreed upon before obtaining the permit from the city. Therefore, the decision was made to leave the contractor and go back to Modular to continue the project.
In June 2017, Modular agreed to assist with phase 1 ,Electrical, plumbing , HVAC, Drywall of phases 2 and 3. They gave me a quote that was very cost efficient, in comparison to the other quotes that were offered by other contractors.
Phase 1 started during October 2017, as it consisted with the removal of the roof, which was done in a precise and timely fashion despite the weather conditions within 2 days. As my family was living in the basement during the construction, Modular ensured to protect our living room space from any dust and debris and always cleaned up afterwards. The crew was very punctual on the job and always came no later than 7:30 A.M.
Belly and Dule were the respective Project Managers on the job and we were beyond satisfied with the quality of work that was done. Modular truly cared about helping us staying within our budget and they made many adjustments on the go to the design at a very reasonable cost. The completion of the project was met by April 2018. Modular Home Additions truly brings your vision to fruition, as I could not have been any more satisfied with the work they have done to our home. A special thank you to Dule, Beli, Bole, Dmitry, Evelyn, Nikki , Dan and the carpenters.

The addition was quickly built and ready to move in. They are pretty busy and at times hard to get to come in. But when they do come in, they do the best to please.

I happen to be a honest and trust worthy person . But these guys are a butch of loser's who don't work on truth and just . Dule is great talker and no truth in what he says . He's never on site etc..... for the rest of them .You have to be on the job site other wise nothing gets done the way it suppose to be . A 6 month job took 1 1/2 years plus....and there still fixing things . They should use levels and measuring tapes that would help . They have incompetent workers who are not licensed to do anything write . Even sweeping the floor was a chore for most . They destroy parts of the house to fix a section and then try to charge you extra for it . I expanded my cement porch to be balance out the front doors and wanted to charge me an extra $10000.00 for steps which where already included on my contract . It took weeks to verify this . Vadja's said they didn't see it . I finally got the truth from Vadja one day with my son there listening . He said nobody cares on doing good job anymore . I told him to get out of the business then and stop telling people that you do a perfect job when you don't . Homestars is a great forum to review contractor's . The problem is most people that do reviews don't know if the job is done right . There just happy to have there home done . It is like the same old story you put lip stick on a pig and it looks great . When it comes off It still is a pig.
I have lots of pictures of improper work that had to get redone again .

I believe company's should do what they promise do on there web-site instead fabricate the stories .

My wife and I bought a bungalow three years ago. The size was okay when we bought it but soon enough we just realized that we need a much bigger house once we have more children. Apparently given the current housing price in Toronto, buying another single detached house is very hard. Therefore we decided to add another addition.
Adding a second addition to the existing sixty years old house definitely made me skeptical. We contacted to lots of companies that can build a second addition, most of them either gave us a very vague maybe answer or a yes answer without any evidence supporting it.
Modular however first send one person to do a feasibility study. What they did was they drilled some holes at the edge of the house to see what materials are used for your house's foundation and if it can support another addition. Please note that this study fee is none refundable. I noticed that some people are complaining about not getting a refund for this study because it shows their house cannot support a second addition. I mean, of course you are not getting a refund. You paid them to do a study for your house and they gave you an answer. Just like you go to a clinic to do a blood test and are you getting a refund when seeing you are not healthy?
After the study is finished, we moved on to the quoting stage. Now that the whole project is finished, I can tell that the original quote price was not that much different from the total price we paid to Modular. Their quotes were very detail oriented. You can easily move some parts away from the quotes if you choose to do them with your own contractors.
Once we have decided to go with Modular, we immediately moved onto the design stage. Rick the designer is very professional. We told him what we needed, he would do his best to accomplish all of our requests. He finished the drawing in a very professional and timely manner and we really appreciated that.
Once the design drawing was finished, Modular took over the rest. Basically there were a lot of paper works to be done with the City and Modular did everything. The entire paper work process went really smooth but please give like a year for all preparations. We came to Modular at June 2016 and the project started at May 2017. Like Modular said, they build the second addition really really fast. Everyday you will see significant difference. There would be two managers on site taking care of everything you have. Modular will also try their best to protect the existing floor or repair them at them end if damage has to be made.
Overall I have a very positive experience with Modular and I would definitely go with them for future projects.
