Mike, Aldo and their team of trades were great! We are so happy with our basement renovation from Sonoma Contracting and have received countless compliments on the end product! Overall quality of work was excellent, and all of the tradespeople that Mike and Aldo brought in were exceptional. The cost was in line with other quotes we received. All in all, they did a great job! In terms of any negatives or areas for improvement, the budgets allocated for items (I.e. carpet, vanity, etc.) were quite low and in order to get the level of quality we wanted we had to go over budget for all these items. Also, we would have liked more advance communication along the way to let us know decisions that would have to be made to give us more time to make proactive decisions/choices rather than having to be more reactive. They stuck to timelines well and any delays were due to the city's inspection process, not Sonoma. All in all, we would recommend Sonoma for a basement renovation - we are so pleased with our new basement (which was completely unfinished prior to the renovation).

We have an older home and had the basement dug out last year to create more headroom. When we finally decided to renovate the space we spoke with several contractors about the scope of work and what we wanted to do and Mike clearly seemed the most knowledgeable, responsive, and gave us a good feeling straight away. He explained the full end-to-end process and what to expect and drew out timelines and everything fell into place as planned. There were some changes we made along the way (which was probably a bit of a pain for Mike) but he took it in stride and worked with us on ensuring we were happy. His team (Aldo, Marco, Paul, etc.) were all fantastic to work with as well and we felt equally as comfortable working with all of them as we did with Mike. Renovations can be messy but the disturbance was minimal. Even with new drywall and all the sanding there was very little dust. I would highly recommend Mike to family and friends and would be happy to serve as a reference.

After a mess of a sewer back up, we stripped our existing basement apartment back to the bricks. After meeting with SEVERAL contractors, we found Mike. Mike, Aldo and the rest of his team were able to transform a naked and poorly constructed space into a beautiful and "to-code" one bedroom apartment, including a new laundry room, adding more storage space, and eliminating any future sewer and/or water issues. Mike and his team are total professionals. Their insight and expertise saw us through some interesting and frustrating challenges. It's important to note that these challenges weren't the fault of Mike or his team, but rather because of the stipulations and restrictions The City imposed onto the project. Any other issues that did come up were dealt with immediately by Mike and Aldo. Mike kept in constant contact with us, meeting with us weekly, and was completely transparent when it came to price and layout. The project took longer than anticpated (again, thanks to The City), but we were able to rent the apartment during the final week of renovations. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Sonoma Contracting for any project.

We got Sonoma to work on our unfinished basement, after checking quite a few companies and quotes. I wanted peace of mind on the work, and only wanted to do this once, couldn’t be happier with the end result. Mike, Aldo, Tony and the rest of the trades are top-notch all the way from the planning phase to maximize space, framing, plumbing, electrical, insulation, stairs, drywall, paint, etc Mike is great at communicating and planning ahead of time for all the trades to show up on time, and move forward with the work. The construction materials used are top of the line, and Mike even makes sure construction debris generated gets picked up on time. The ugly, cold, and unfinished basement turned into another usable floor in our house, complete with office, bedroom, bathroom, laundry and lots of storage everywhere. I do not hesitate to recommend Sonoma any day, for the excellent quality, the workmanship, and the awesome customer service from Mike & Team, Thank you!!!

We hired Sonoma Contracting to take out an unusable basement bathroom and put in a vent in the laundry room, as well as replace basement windows, and finish the two small rooms that now serve as a laundry room and a storage space. Though the small project took longer to complete than anticipated, we are very happy with the results. Throughout the project, Mike was very quick to get back to us when we had any questions, and his crew was professional and produced great results.

We hired Sonoma to undertake a basement renovation and they did a fantastic job. Mike and his team are great. From the start of the project until it was finished they not only met our expectations, they exceeded them. Mike was always good about communicating what was going on with the project and was always quick to respond if we had any questions. I felt that Mike and his team were very committed to our project and even had his guys in on the weekend at the end to get it all finished. The only extras above the quoted price were for upgrades that we chose (i.e., upgraded flooring). I would hire Sonoma again for other projects at my house.

This is the 2nd time we contracted Mike and his team. What a savior. After the new counter was installed from another company, I asked Mike to help with the backsplash and plumbing in the kitchen since I didn't have time to do it myself. Plumbers, so nice, professional and trustworthy. I did the demo work of removing the old tile and the tile we selected had long strips. Meaning it needed a perfectly flat wall. Most people know, removing tiles, well...you have to change the drywall as well. Mike had an incredible turnaround time and had Alex come by the next morning to help put in the new wall. Great job! And the backsplash job was fantastic. We are so glad of knowing Mike and knew that Mike can get things done right and reliably AGAIN! Very dependable and would call Mike again! Thanks Mike!

The transformation in our basement is amazing and it’s all thanks to the work done by Mike and his Sonoma team. They transformed our dark and underutilized basement space into a wonderful area that now includes a living room, a play room, a wet bar, a workout room, a washroom and ample closet space. Mike provided suggestions to maximize the use of our space and he is to be commended on his ability to provide quick answers to our questions and resolve any concerns. Mike has a special talent in how he manages his projects, always keeping the trades on track and on time. His team is top-notch – professional, friendly, and a pleasure to work with. Mike’s attention to detail is guaranteed to deliver outstanding results. We are ecstatic with what our basement has become – a welcoming environment for our family and friends. Many thanks to Mike, Aldo, Tony and the rest of the team.

Mike and his team at Sonoma Contracting are fantastic. If you are doing a basement renovation, i cannot recommend them highly enough. When we decided to excavate our basement to gain additional height and to waterproof, Mike was recommended to us by our plumber. The team dug down 2 feet, installed new drains and moved the main plumbing stack and boiler, installed weeping tiles and a sump pump, and framed and insulated the entire basement. Mike's estimate for the work was significantly lower than the other estimates that we had seen, and the work is excellent! The work all started and finished on time, and with the surprise issues we encountered during the process, Mike was easy to get a hold of and we resolved the challenges with no extra charges, and in a way that we were very happy with. His trades are also excellent. Before we poured the new concrete floor, the team recommended that we install in-floor radient heat (the house is all radient). It's one of the best decisions we've ever made. The basement maintains an incredible, consistant comfortable heat all through the winter, and doesn't feel like a basement at all. We've recommended Sonoma Contracting to several of our neighbours who have also hired them, and would definitely hire them again.

Mike and Aldo delivered yet again. They started the job when they said they would, the trades did great work and showed up on time. Any overage was discussed before work was done. Which means that the original quote was 100% accurate, a rarity in this business.
