Modular Home Additions Inc.

I have strongly recommended this company. Their administration is efficient & helpful (they actually answer the phone in person!) & their Basecamp system is a very useful tool. Their work is professional, on time, on budget. Their suggestions were most appropriate and I was very pleased with the outcome. They were always willing of execute additional requests. Their ability to work with the client made for very positive experience. Experience counts!

I am pleased and impressed by MODULAR's service. Their contractors were professional, courteous and worked diligently based on our schedule and needs.

They went above and beyond in making my wife and I happy. And I would recommend them to anyone looking for professional 'by-the-book' contractors.

We initially contracted Modular to add an in-law suite to our raised bungalow when our project came to a screeching halt. You see, we found our ideal family home after we hired Modular and purchased it over the course of a weekend so we no longer needed the addition to our home. We thought for sure we would lose the deposit that we had already paid to Modular.

However Vadja and Dule were very understanding of our situation and offered to give back our full deposit since we no longer needed an addition. We were so impressed with their service, care and understanding that we asked them to act as our general contractor to renovate our new home.

Dule and his team worked magic to transform the mudroom and workshop on the ground floor of our new home into an in-law suite that included a bedroom with ensuite bath, sitting area and family room with an additional 3-piece bath.

The project finished on-time and on-budget!

My mother-in-law loves her suite and enjoys her large bedroom with a sitting area and ensuite bath. She enjoys entertaining family in her family room where she can look outside into the backyard.

Thanks Modular for making our renovation a pleasant experience that we won't forget. Thanks for making us (... and my mother-in-law) happy. We gladly recommend Modular (and their sub-contractors) without hesitation for your renovation needs.

We hired Modular Home Additions to add a second storey onto our bungalow. We first talked to Modular seven years ago but determined we needed to save more money before proceeding. When we were finally ready, we were pleased to see they were still in business and thriving. We checked not only the references they gave us but knocked on the doors of a few houses in our area that we knew were done by Modular. One homeowner who I cold-called used Modular almost a decade ago, and she even invited me in to see the work for myself.
Still, I was a little reluctant about how things would go since we would be living in the basement (with a toddler in tow) during the whole construction period. Would it really be as straightforward as they claimed? I also work from home, so would have no break from the chaos.
Modular didn’t disappoint. They did an amazing job of protecting our living space from dust and debris and always cleaned up afterwards.
You couldn’t ask for a more dedicated, upbeat crew. Rain, snow or shine, they were at our place for 7:30 a.m. and worked hard all day. They were polite and would chat with us but not to the point of intrusiveness.
Beli was our project manager and I was impressed by his meticulous attention to detail. He would show up on site every day and be able to tell us, with accuracy, what would be completed that day and in the days/weeks ahead. Dmitry is the master of organization, always making sure.
We also opted to use Modular for all the interior work of the second storey and the main floor. Using Modular’s contacts for interior work (plumbers, electricians, painters, masonry work, HVAC, carpenters, etc.) will add a bit more to your cost but it also ensured the work would get done in a timely fashion. Modular also manages the entire process. So, if the electrician doesn’t show up or does shoddy work, you aren’t stuck. The onus is on Modular to find someone else. We could have hired our own sub-contractors but just didn’t have the time or desire to organize everyone.
As with any construction project, issues will crop up. But Modular always worked hard to come up with solutions to satisfy us and would also offer suggestions of how we could stay on budget.
Modular will set up a personal website for you so you’ll see how your project is progressing. It’s a great way for you to communicate with your project manager and other staff and have a written record of everything. I found I never had to wait more than an hour or two for a response on the site but for must-know-now concerns or questions, you could always get a hold of your PM or another member of Modular’s team by cell.
Modular ranks high when it comes to delivering a completed, high-quality project on time. Hands down, these guys are the best in the business at providing a detailed quote of what things cost. The price was exactly what we thought, no surprises. If you do make changes to your plan, you fill up a change request form and it’s added to your budget.
Thanks to Modular’s entire team for making our vision of our new home come true. Special thanks to Beli, Dule, Dule (carpenter), Dmitry, Pamela, Dan and Bole.

I have no hesitation in recommending this company. Their administration is efficient & helpful (they actually answer the phone in person!) & their Basecamp system keeps communication open. Their work is great, on time & within budget. No unpleasant surprises! I would trust them with any future projects. Experience counts!

We decided to add a second floor to our bungalow and gut the main floor, after interviewing 6 builders we choose modular based on a recommendation and meeting with them. They provided an amazingly detailed quote and stayed completely on budget. Not only was the workmanship great but the crew was kind, pleasant and the job site was a pleasure. Plus they finished the reno on time and even before we thought it would be done. Renovating a house is a major stress but Modular makes it a dream come true! I would recommend and use them to everyone. They are amazing.

This is the third time we have used Modular Home Additions in the last 10 years. This last project was by far the biggest. We bought a 100 year old detached 2-storey (+basement) home in Leaside and had Modular add on a 2-storey (+basement) addition. The difficulty here was ensuring that we didn't end up with an "old" existing house attached to a "new" addition - we wanted it to all flow together in an open concept atmosphere that had a modern rustic feel. Modular helped us achieve that within our budget and within our time schedule.

It was essentially a gut job. They took everything down to the studs, new electrical, new plumbing, underpinned existing basement, new structural support beams etc...

Was it all smooth sailing? Unequivocally No. With every significant building project, you will always run into challenging circumstances. By way of example, we encountered an obstacle when we began attaching the new roof structure to the existing cathedral roofing system. When they began the part of the project, Modular became concerned about the stability of the existing cathedral roof structure - they felt it was simply not stable enough to support being cut and then attached to the new hand cut or truss roofing structure. Modular's suggestion was to replace the existing cathedral roof with engineered trusses and build an entire new roof that would be ensure we don't run into any structural problems down the road. And so while this issue caused a bit of a delay (I think we probably lost about a week while the new trusses were constructed), we ended up with a new, stronger, roofing system and shingles etc. Despite having to eat some costs, Modular proceeded without hesitation. In my opinion, this is one of the things that differentiates Modular from others - they make decisions that are best for their customers.

And essentially all this comes down to is people. From the individuals that gutted and framed the existing and new structure, to their HVAC suppliers, their plumber, their carpenters, to our project manager, we cannot say enough good things about the way all of Modular's staff handled our project. Honest, respectful, hard workers, diligent trades people, and great building expertise by our project managers. We want to thank (not in order of importance) Dule, Vadja, Billy, Tino, Dmitry, as well as all the other trades people that helped us achieve exactly what we wanted when we set out on this journey. After this project, I will continue to, without hesitation, recommend Modular to friends and family.

Not only would I recommend Modular, but we would use them again.
I was pregnant with twins when we hired modular to add a second story to our semi attached bungalow. Not only would we be possibly living in a Reno with two newborns, but the stress of the renovation, the possibility that things would not go well with the contractors and the time line were all major concerns. Needless to say we were nervous when we signed on the dotted line. But Modular pulled through! Dule was our project manager and he was fabulous! He really made us feel like everything was taken care of,and it was. The trades were all great, kind, professional and really good at what they do. We were very happy we used all the Modular trades. Knowing that they were from Modular, we never worried that work would not get done or that it would not get done properly. We did get 3 renovation quotes before we started and all were around same price. The difference is with Modular you see where every dollar is going. Sometimes that's great because you really know what your spending money on. But sometimes it makes you want to look for a better price - and in our situation, every time we did, there was no price difference.
The other thing is budget. Everyone always says a Reno can not stay on budget. From the very first quote they gave us ( even before they saw the house), they pretty much stayed on budget (plus or minus 5-10%). If it changed it was mainly our doing- adding things here or there. Dmitry ( who was also fabulous!) kept you informed at all times of what things cost and how it would effect the overall price ( up or down).
Thanks to the whole Modular team! We are so happy with our new addition and could not have made a better decision in using you.

Working with Modular was a great experience from start to finish. First of all, the quote that we received was the most detailed that we saw from any other contractor and enabled us to effectively budget the project. Second of all, communication was excellent and the entire renovation process was well explained both in advance, as well as during the project. We also had access to a website that allowed us to communicate with the Modular team on a constant basis. Third of all, we found the entire team very professional. Dule, the project manager, kept us well informed of what was happening every step of the way. The entire crew worked long hours in the winter to keep the project moving. We were out of our house for a total of six months, which is exactly the amount of time planned. We also decided to go with Modular for the entire project (Phases 1, 2, 3), and it was well worth it. Everything was done to our satisfaction and on time. Based on our personal positive experience, we highly recommend Modular Home Additions. Many thanks to Vadja, Dule, Dmitry, and the entire Modular team!

Very Professional and Friendly Service, Was able to find what I was looking for in a short amount of time. I found this company on a Group Renos groupbuying site called GroupRenos.com. The owners of these companies were very informative.
