'WOW' doesn't begin to cover it!

The team at Modular Home Additions is nothing less than amazing. When we began our project we were full of nerves and questions, but at every step of the way the company was patient, helpful, polite, and never pressured us at any point. Really, they treated us like family and the final results were stunning.

Our project involved putting a second story on our bungalow in East York. We went over the costs, they provided us with an architect, and they drew up plans for us to approve. We made changes (both ahead of time and on site) and they adapted quickly and positively. We also went with them to do a complete renovation of the main floor of the house and had a similarly great experience. They have another partner in-house, Zoran Kitchens, who worked with them to get the project done.

So, what made them so great? They're a one-stop shop for all your renovation needs. They have their own plumbers, electricians, carpenters, installers, demo team, and an incredible site leader in the form of Dejean who got the WHOLE project done, during the early days of the pandemic, in just under FIVE MONTHS. Seriously! Roof off the house, new materials in, all of it, and we moved back in five months later. That's not something they promised (nor might they be able to do that in the future) but by having all of their services linked and coordinated it's definitely a much faster process. I've heard of nightmare builds that go on for a year or two but you won't find anything like that here.

This company did a great job. We set up the house for internet. Installed a water line to the fridge. Added tons of lights. Painting. Tile installation. Bathroom set up. They gave us a timeline of when to pick out our materials and have them delivered (or else they went and got them!), and you could talk to them about anything and everything on their online system through Basecamp.

As far as price goes, they were not only competitive with other builders but far. There were no hidden costs, no surprises that weren't fully discussed up top, and they were great about making everything transparent. I've heard that they might be slightly more costly than other places, but given that EVERYTHING is in-house, it's more than worth it to have a built-in project management system like this. An added bonus was that after the project was complete, they connected us with another company to maximize the amount we could get back from the government as part of a renovation rebate.

Even now, a year and a bit later, when I ran into an issue NOT related to their work, I sent Dejean a message looking for help and he called me from Cuba where he was on vacation! Totally not necessary, but once a customer and friend, always a customer and friend!

From start to finish, the quality and professionalism of Modular Home Additions has been outstanding. They really want you to be happy with your new home and they go to extreme lengths to make sure it happens. Our family can't recommend them enough!

Second Story Addition

We want to thank Modular for an excellent job. From planning to
completion we were very pleased. Even after going through T-lab, a pandemic and beginning in early winter the work was impressive.
As we choose to live here, Once the roof demo had begun we were vulnerable to the weather. The framing was fast and efficient and the new roof was on quickly. The interior framing, insulation etc could begin.
There are so many team members to thank for their hard work so
thanks again to everyone who contributed! Sincerely Anne-Marie, Norm and Sophie.

Bungalow Top Up

Our home addition and top up was a project we started four years ago, but shelved due to cost. We had taken an initial quote from Modular, which immediately gave us a good understanding of what to expect. So, when we decided to go ahead in 2020, we chose to go with Modular because of Milan's patience, their clear pricing, and not to mention the excellent reviews on Homestars. We were not disappointed. Even with all the Covid related delays, once the construction began, everything went quickly and Modular was quick to improvise and adjust where there was a supply problem. The trades were great as was their front office. The quality of work has been excellent and through the entire construction period, they always kept the site clean. Ultimately, we are very happy with the final result and will happily recommend Modular to anyone who asks!

Vandana thank you very much for such a nice review. Your decision, to go with Modular after few years of waiting, is another confirmation of our creed and code of conduct. Honest and professional approach to all aspects of the project. From pricing to daily cleaning of sites:-) We believe that this is the only way of conducting the business in order to have happy clients that will write reviews like yours.

Sincere thanks from the Modular team.

Second story addition. Main floor Reno

They were fantastic to deal with. Dejan was excellent and always took the time to assist us and follow up to make sure things were done efficiently and on time. Any little problem we came across he ensured it was resolved promptly. The workers from every trade that came in to the house were courteous and professional. This has been a great experience and we are thrilled with our new home

2nd storey and side addition

We met Bole in 2017 to get an idea how much it will cost to build a 2nd storey and side addition. We were explained about all the steps how the project will be accomplished, cost was very detailed and clear. We were not ready yet to start the project, we were also concerned about run-away companies, not completing the work on time etc. We felt confident about Modular. We started the project in October 2019 (yes we took long time to make this decision) We met Rahele, Rick Dan, Beli everyone was available to answer any question. It was a very nice journey with Modular. Our project was completed without any gap, problem or argument. Thank you very much Team Modular Home Additions (esp. thanks to Rick Bonger for being patient and extra helpful) for your professional, honest and courteous service.

First, we would like to thank you for the full 10! Great to get them. We laughed about the "run-away companies" which are, unfortunately, part of the industry and there might be even more of those due to the situation we are all in.
Confidence in a contractor and a good rapport are crucial when deciding on who will you hire for the job. That is why we are trying to explain everything related to the renovations, which many of our clients never did before. Knowing what to expect and understanding that it might be a bumpy road ahead, makes the process much easier and more fulfilling. Thank you again for your nice words.
Sincerely
Modular Team

Second Story Addition

We are so pleased with how everything went with our second story addition. From start to completion of the project we felt like we were in good hands with Modular; they are incredibly professional, as were all their trades. Modular was in constant contact with us at each step of the reno, so we never felt we were left out of the loop. The project came in almost on budget and any changes were clearly communicated to us so there were no surprises at the end. Dejan, our project manager, was very easy to deal with and would answer any questions we had with patience and clarity. We did hit a few bumps in the road, but they were resolved very quickly to our satisfaction. The owner of the company, Dule, was on hand whenever necessary, which was wonderful. We really appreciated all their hard work and have already recommended them to a number of people in our neighbourhood who are looking to do the same thing. We can't say enough good things!

Megan THANK YOU.
It is always a pleasure replying to the reviews like this. We are pleased that you are happy with our approach to projects and despite a few "bumps". It is expected to have them and there is so many ways if dealing with them. For us at Modular, best way is to cooperate with the client and "iron" them out. Being available for our clients is our job.
Thank you again from all of us.

Wonderful Experience: Quality Team. Excellent Results

Dule and his team at Modular Homes Additions were wonderful to work with. Aside from being good and honest people, they also have incredible work ethic. We hired them for a very large renovation that kept only a single existing wall - practically a new build. They produced quality results, with speed and precision, and were a delight during the process. They kept us informed about progress, made suggestions for improvements and were transparent with us right from the start. Even when we wanted to make changes, they delivered with ease.

From beginning to end, we felt understood and supported, clear about cost and timelines, and always felt like the lines of communication were open. It was like working with friends. This team has integrity. When it comes to something as important as your home, that is of the utmost importance.

Ultimately, they helped turn our vision for our dream home into a reality, and we are so pleased we chose them for this milestone in our lives. We would not hesitate to refer them, or hire them again in future. Thank you Dule & team!

Thank you for this great review.
It seems that more and more people are mentioning honesty that is apparently a virtue hard to find these days.
Money, profit, positions... are taking place in front of the real values.

Being transparent and informative about the process and the costs involved in any given project was of utmost importance to the Modular team, from the beginning. Helping our clients to achieve their goals, helped us build the company that we have today. Without client appreciation and understanding of the process, cooperation with us during the renovation, Modular wouldn't be able to develop insight into what are the important things for our clients. A renovation like any other relationship is a two-way street. Thank you for pointing out that our openness and friendly approach are appreciated.
Thank you again from the whole Modular team.

Main floor Reno in East York

Dule, Dan and their team completely gutted my entire main floor and opened up and modernized the layout, added a great new walk out to back and new windows. They were fast, very skilled and knowledgeable, and most of all.....honest and fair priced. There were no surprises. They were also very clean, which is great when you’re living through a renovation.

Very happy with the result. 100% I’ll use them again and would recommend to anyone.

Second floor addition to Bungalow

I used Modular to add a second floor to our bungalow. The experience was very positive. Modular offered a positive alternative to most other general contractors we spoke to:
1. They are honest and realistic - They do a good job about setting expectations.
2. Patient and no pressure - in our case, we took a long time to make decisions, and they worked with our timeline.
3. They work quickly - They are organized, and make sure the work is done as quickly as realistically.
4. Clean - They do a good job making sure the site is clean and free of clutter where and when possible.

I would not hesitate to recommend them.

Short and sweet!
Thank you very much for pointing all the right things that people are looking for when hiring the contractor for their renovations.
We are doing the best we can to explain to people what can and cannot be expected during the whole process of the renovation. At the first meeting when rough estimate is made we might "kill" a lot of expectations that were based on the wishes, magazine clippings and talk with friends. It is unfortunate but necessary to present the real figures before the project starts. If the client decide to work with our designers and architects, the final quote shouldn't deviate much from the original estimate, since the designer will know what was requested and discussed at the original meeting, hence no surprises when the job starts.
Over twenty years in construction we learned what the clients are looking for and what they do expect from us. It is easy to do the good job when you are appreciated and when you work for good people.
Thank you once again from all of us at Modular.

Great builder, amazing people.

It has been an absolute pleasure working with Modular Home Additions. We met them 2 years ago as we were looking for a contractor to do an addition on our Beaches bungalow. After many frustrating meetings, our first meeting with Modular was refreshing. They gave us ballpark numbers on the spot, no pressure, full honesty. I asked for examples of homes they had done and without blinking they handed me a list full of homes in my area.

Every step of the way they have been transparent, efficient and just an absolute pleasure to deal with. They don't cut corners and are meticulous about their work. When they did demolition they tarped my house every day and swept my driveway.

They are a no excuses organization, they expect excellent work from their employees and always made it right if we wanted changes.

Ultimately and most importantly, they are good people. We had difficulties with the city and other trades not connected to them and they came out and helped us. They didn't have to, but they did because that's the kind of people they are.

We are so happy with their work that when our neighbour decided to do the same work we told them they had to go with Modular and they did. We can't wait to watch the work start next door.

First I would like to thank you for posting such a nice review of Modular. As we mentioned in our replies to our clients so many times, transparency is one of the key ingredients in dealing with such an expensive and important thing as a renovation. Trusting the strangers with your home and hard earned money is unnerving and in order to gain the trust we have to be open and straightforward with our clients. We do not see the other way of sustaining the reputation that we build. Twenty one year of building dreams for our clients, over a thousand homes, had to teach us something. Your and many other reviews are confirming that we in fact learned to respect and appreciate our clients and the trust they invest in us.
Thank you again from all of us at Modular.
