We hired De Ponte construction to renovate our cottage. What a transformation! We couldnt be happier with the end result. Helen and Rob are very organized and detail oriented. They managed the project from start to finish. I would highly recommend them. Looking forward to working them again in the future.

I called Robert and Helen after seeing some reviews here. I needed someone who would help me find answers to the issues I was having with water and smells. I enjoyed working with them. They were committed to doing the job right. Trustworthy and I would use them again.

Rob & Helen were recommended to us by a friend/neighbour. They came to meet with us to discuss our plans & vision for the exterior of the home. Within 2 weeks they provided us with a quote and itemized everything. We are very happy we chose Rob & Helen to do the work on our home. They were always available for questions, offered options for various materials and design, and resolved any issues that arose, to ensure we were satisfied with the outcome. We are very satisfied with the outcome of the project and would recommend them to anyone.

Helen and Rob did impeccable work and professionally managed the project from start to finish with a high level of detail and eye for quality. We hired De Ponte construction for a bathroom addition on our main floor. They did a very clean job, showed up every day on time, and delivered a beautiful and functional bathroom as promised. We were very happy with the final product and will most certainly hire them for our next project.

Helen and Rob were so honest and kind. They made sure I was happy with everything that was done. They made great suggestions and listened to what I wanted. They were also very detailed and explained the process very clearly. I will 100% use them for any type of renovation again!

Robert and Helen were key in the project management and site supervision of this project. This project consisted of extremely high end finishes and involved a significant amount of coordination between trades, designer and management team. As team Robert and Helen manage to cover all details and go above and beyond to make the project successful and insure the end client is satisfied.

Helen and Robert DePonte are excellent General Contractors who use skilled craftsmen with attention to detail. The painters did excellent work, and colour matched my Farrow and Ball colours exactly; Helen and Robert were on site several times daily, made sure I was happy with the work as it progressed, and at the end of each day inspected all of the work, and at the end of the job. They are honest, and charge a fair price for well executed work. They are totally trustworthy, congenial and a joy to know!

If you are looking to welcome honest and caring contractors into your home to complete improvements, look no further. Where Rob and Helen excelled: their attention to detail and forward planning, "When this step is complete, how would you like to blend it into the rest of your home?"; their client service and flexibility, "Is this okay? Do you like this?"; and their problem solving ability "This appliance will protrude slightly, here are some options for that."   

Rob and Helen modernized the main floor of our 1953 brick bungalow and completed the following:  restoration and matching of original hardwood floors, planning and layout for open concept kitchen, demolition, framing, insulation, counters, cabinets, lighting and electrical, painting, appliances, tiling, parallel coordination of gas line, central heat, and air conditioning.

 The De Ponte's initial quote and assessment was true to scope and budget. If you're seeking quotes, place a De Ponte Construction quote next to any other provider and I think you'll be likely to find that your more inexpensive quotes are missing steps in the project plan and the more expensive quotes have created too much budget space and missed opportunities for project efficiency and cost savings.  Thank you again Rob and Helen!

When we developed a problem with our basement bathroom that required a complete remodelling, we immediately thought of contacting De Ponte Construction and are very happy that we did. We’d already had the opportunity to view a couple of projects completed by the De Pontes, in our own neighbourhood, which had left a lasting impression on us.

At first we were nervous, considering the fact that two of us would be working full-time from home due to the COVID pandemic, but after meeting with Robert and Helen to review our budget and discuss their proposal, we realized just how much effort they put into managing and supervising their typical renovation projects and we were immediately put at ease. In the meantime they listened carefully to our ideas, clarified our needs, then suggested a few alternatives that had never occurred to us. In the end, we decided not only to redo our bathroom, but also to remodel the kitchen area and update the lighting in our family room.

Rob and Helen were professional, remained engaged and reliable throughout the project, and proved to be a terrific resource for contemporary and stylish ideas and recommendations. They even accompanied us, when needed, to provide assistance and advice selecting fixtures and appliances. It was obvious throughout the entire process that their goal was to fulfill our dream safely, provide quality results, and adhere to our budget, while also remaining on schedule. The end result far exceeded our own vision and expectations.

I cannot overstate how reassuring it was to know that, throughout the entire time, everyone took the pandemic seriously and adhered to all precautions. All trade workers proved to be reliable, skilled professionals who not only respected our home but also remained committed to safeguarding our health and safety, along with their own. Every day was concluded with Rob and Helen checking their progress, reviewing the next day’s plans with us, and making sure that the worksite was left clean and organized for a quick startup the following day by the next trade on site. It was clear throughout the entire process that everyone had mutually respectful working relationships with Rob and Helen, which in turn added to our confidence and peace of mind. It was another example that proved to us that Rob and Helen have extremely high standards, and enforce them for the benefit of their clients.

We *highly* recommend De Ponte Construction and wouldn’t hesitate to use them for future projects!

I was very nervous about taking on this project as a female solo homeowner until I met Rob and Helen. They put me at ease and made me comfortable every step of the way! They were highly professional and walked me through every step of the process, happily answering any questions I had. I now have two beautiful bedrooms and the spa bathroom of my dreams! Everything was done on time and within my budget... which is saying a lot whilst in the middle of a pandemic! I can’t say enough good things about the De Ponte’s ... I will definitely be hiring them again for any future project! Highly highly recommend them!!
