We enlisted Men at Work to renovate the main floor of our 100 year old house in west Toronto. Highly recommend this company. They are extremely organized, professional, and very responsive. The designers, project managers, and contractors were all skilled and a pleasure to work with. We are more than thrilled with the high quality beautiful main floor they completed for us. Renovations can be stressful, but they don’t have to be if you hire the right team. 

We were happy with the design but the project took too long to commence & tho the “punch list” finish was January 28 - we still await many items that are visably apparent. Other items were supposedly “fixed” by people not aware of the situation. Now these “fixes” have to be refixed as the proper trades weren’t called in. Six months after completion and still waiting for “punch list completion. Also this was not a total gut job - upstairs bathroom/bedroom reconfiguration in a well constructed 17 year old home. Not a complicated job, considering
MAW’s ability to restore much older homes. As stated we are happy with the design but are disappointed in the “after sale” indifference.

Great job! Project Manager Matthew was outstanding. Claire our designer was amazing as well. Some final touches needed but I'm sure they will take care of it shortly. Very professional.

Total rebuild (renovation) of our house in Bloor West. Only thing we kept were the two side walls. Extended back about 12' (basement too). Paul was fantastic to deal when we were looking around at companies.
We met with about 5 and Paul was the only one to visit the house and talk w/ us.
We went w/ M@W and weren't disappointed. Matthew was our PM and he was great to deal with.
The construction process was delayed a bit due to foundation issues but the solution implemented was exactly what we we preferred. We were always kept informed, given lots of options and always knew what was going on.
Natalie assisted us in the design and she and her team were also very good. Very happy with the choices made and the options we had.
Long story short - we came inside our budget, got what we wanted and are very happy.

Men at Work did a fantastic renovation of my first floor. Paul, the owner of Men at Work, listened carefully to my ideas and concerns and ensured I was completely satisfied, as the work progressed. The result was a modern, practical and attractive living space. Paul has assembled a highly creative and professional team. Many thanks go to John, Natalie, Cory, Stephen, Eric and the rest of the staff for their hard work and dedication.

Paul the owner was very professional when he came to our house and listened to everything we wanted to do to our 1925 home. He came back with realistic goals and pricing that addressed our needs. Working with the in house Architect was easy and revisions were quickly done. We had to go to the Committee of Adjustments which was also dealt with promptly and professionally. Natalie our award winning designer listened carefully to us and worked with us to create the perfect space. She met us at stores around the GTA and at our home to make sure the final result was everything we dreamed of.
Our Project Manager Daniel was a perfect match for us. He always listened, updated us on a daily basis and met with us at the property to show us the progress being made and answer all our questions. Little touches like taking a bottle of wine to our neighbours after a day of hammering were extra touches that made a lasting impact.
Our project was completed on time and met all our expectations. It is beautiful and very functional. Daniel still keeps in touch and is always ready to return to the house to fix any small problems we have had as the house settles and we get familiar with our new space. Men at Work wants to please and we always feel like they are ready to field our concerns or questions even after the renovation has been completed.
I highly recommend Men at Work. They may cost more than some of your other quotes but the quality of their work, their professionalism and their personal customer service is top notch!

With a newborn baby and 3 year old we found ourself in a typical situation many people face: move or renovate. With no time, expertise or desire to contact out and design everything on our own MAW was the answer to our problem. We said from the onset that we needed more space and storage in our house and Keith and Natalie designed a functional home with lots of storage for our growing family. Not to mention Natalie designed the most beautiful kitchen and fabulous bathrooms. We had just a few design ideas and it was Natalie who took the words "classic and elegant" and made that into reality. Our project manager Kyle was great to work with and always provided answers to our many questions. Everyone we interacted with at MAW was great.

We have used Men At Work for 2 renovations on our house. They did a great job both times and are very professional with great customer service and work ethics. Even a couple of years after the work was completed, we had some issues arise and they were on top of things promptly. We would definitely recommend Men At Work and use them again in the future if they opportunity presented itself.

When you decide to undertake a big home renovation with a GC, you're putting your trust and a significant part of your net worth in the hands of someone you barely know. You do your due diligence, you meet with them on several occasions, you visit previous clients and projects, you do what you can, but ultimately, you're in their hands.

Men at Work undertook a gut and addition for our 1940s house in the Edgehill Etobicoke area taking an old 2000sf 1940s house to a 3400sf house with all the modern amenities and kept a nice homey feel to the end product. We used their architect and design services as well and are thrilled with the final product. Ultimately Paul and company took a professional approach to what can be a "back of the napkin" business.

The collaboration was professional making full use of project management online support, an app linked to our project decision process, video conferencing to make our lives easier and great staff who were keen to make sure we were happy with the final product. The number of disruptions to your life and the volume of decisions are overwhelming at times, so it's nice to have a professional team supporting you throughout the process.

We dealt with Paul (owner), Keith (architect), Natalie (design) and John (site manager) for over a year from beginning to end. They managed us through the design, planning, Committee of Adjustments process, right to the picking and placement of furniture.

The whole family is happy with the final product and it's a home we'll be happy to live in for the next 20 years.

They have a great team approach and the follow-up support has been tremendous.

Men @ Work Design Build was by far the best construction services company we could have asked to do our home renovations this past summer of 2016.
The entire team was knowledgable, professional and fully dedicated to doing the best quality of work, and the deadlines and budgets were completely on target.
We would highly recommend this company to anyone who would be interested in a home renovation or addition to their home.
We could not have been happier with the final results.
