Had my kitchen renovated. It’s beautiful I love it and I’ve got many compliments. I would recommend home Reno, great company. Any issues were resolved right away. The owner Ramon ensures u are happy with your project.

Overall we were quite satisfied with the work Reno Direct did in our kitchen. From planning, designing, the choosing of material and the whole reno process, all the employees and trade workers were helpful and professional. There were some hiccups along the way but we were able to work through them. We would use Home Reno again for future renovations and we would recommend them to friends and family.

An initial visit to the Home Reno Direct showroom is what prompted me to consider working with them for my condo kitchen renovation. After my initial meeting, I understood the process clearly and what they could offer for this major renovation. They had an abundance of products on hand so it was easy to make selections. Having a Project Manager oversee the renovation was paramount to me as he kept in communication with me on an ongoing basis on who was doing what and on what day. If there were delays he let me know. But it was also important for me as owner to keep on top of the process. After 7 weeks (which was close to the initial timeline), a huge thank you to all those that touched the project in one way or another – Amer, Remon, Helen, Annabelle, Lionel, Jose, Rob, Carlos, Ilie, Shirley – am sure I have missed a few names. All the tradesmen knew their trade and respected my space. I love all the products that were selected and the redesign of the layout of the kitchen is amazing. I now have a very functional kitchen thanks to the Home Reno Direct team.

From the beginning to end . I'm so happy that we selected Home Reno to do this major Reno . All the guys from project manager to the workers are very competent. Both me and my family are happy with the outcome . Must include names Don Cherry , Rob , Hussein and Armed , all the guys who worked on my project.
We're very happy with the outcome .

We recently had our bathroom completely renovated by Home Reno Direct. All we can say is “Wow”, what a fantastic job! We would highly recommend them, definitely a 11 out of 10.

Our journey began with Amer Home Reno Direct’s Design Consultant, who did an on-site visit to our home to determine our needs, listen to our vision, take some measurements and pictures of the area. Within less than a week we were invited to their Mississauga show room to review Amer’s recommendations through drawings including a 3-D design showing our current bathroom and his future concept. Amer captured our vision to the tee and we booked a follow-up appointment to pick out the finishes (tiles, colour, faucets, etc.) with their Interior Designer.

Annabella, Home Reno Direct, Interior Designer was a big help. Thanks for your suggestions, especially the darker tile colour for our shower niche, additional pot light and the towel cabinet finish being the opposite colour/finish than the vanity. Love it!

Construction began 4 weeks later, and we were greeted by Tony, the On-Site Supervisor for the trades. Tony regularly followed up with his team, would help them when required and listened to our questions or concerns, always providing us with a solution. Thanks Tony for your many suggestions, especially suggesting that we centre the shower basin in the room and not tiling the edging. Well done! Peter (Project Manager), you have an incredible guy here.

Other team members that went over and above, Bobby, their driver who dropped off materials/fixtures for the job. Thanks for pointing out items that we should secure in our home because they were fragile (bathroom mirror, marble slabs, toilet seat, etc.) rather than leave them in our garage with the general trade materials.

Carlos, General Trade who took the time to put up vapour barriers throughout our house, tarps to walk on to keep the dust and dirt down to a minimum. This was especially needed for the demolition of the old bathroom, excavation of our sewer lines within the floor (basement bathroom) and the framing and drywalling. Thanks for taking the time and cleaning up the job site, even vacuuming at the end of each work day!

Hats off to Loui the Electrician, Ilie the Plumber the reset our sewer lines (thanks for working your weekend), Danny the Drywaller, Mario the painter, Hussein the Tiler (thanks for your suggestions on placement/angle and big thanks for working your first Sunday, much appreciated), Vince, Plumber #2 to set the toilet and faucets and finally Rob and Cory, General Trade or the detail guys as I called them. They came in to do paint touch ups, install trim/paint it and general clean up before handing the bathroom back to us. They did an terrific job, with a super eye for detail. Especially impressed with Rob who decided to replace my old bathroom door, rather than spend hours trying to salvage the old door. Definitely entrepreneur material.

And behind the scenes, Helen, in Finance who keeps our payments on track, lol, and uses a great App called Buildertrend so you can see what balance is outstanding at any given time.

Finally, when you think the journey is over Anita reaches out, the Production Coordinator to let us know that everything is under warranty and to reach out to her should any issues arise.

Sixteen highly skilled individuals, from start to finish. Thanks everyone!!

We were very pleased with our kitchen refresh/reno done through Home Reno Direct. We first met with the design consultant Amer at their Mississauga showroom. He was very pleasant and informative, and walked us through the reno process. The showroom is beautiful and has a large selection of quartz countertops, tile and glass back splash, porcelain flooring and fixtures/accessories. Amer came to our home to see the kitchen, took measurements and made notes, and made several suggestions. We met him again at their showroom, where we picked out colours and finishes for paint, countertop and back splash. The flooring was picked out separately at their floor supplier’s showroom. Amer put together a written quote for us, and Helen provided us with the payment schedule.

We were advised that our reno would take about 3-4 weeks, and it indeed took 4 weeks. All the crew that came to our home were fantastic. Very courteous, friendly and tried their best to be as tidy as you can be during a kitchen reno!
Kudos to our Project managers Sean and Lionel, demo crew Lauren and Kenny , Corey for drywall, framing & misc, delivery/pick up guy Bobby, electricians David and Lou, plumber Vince, painter Paul, Tom for taping/mudding, Chris and Jake for removal of cabinet doors/hardware, spray painting and re-assembly, and Rob for flooring, baseboards, additional painting, installation of foyer cupboard doors and all kinds of little touch-ups and fixes. Helen did the invoicing and kept us up to date.
Also thanks to the people we dealt with at their showroom: Amer, Annabella, Remon, Uzma, and Natasha.

As with any reno, there were a few minor issues and concerns but we were always able to work with Home Reno Direct to get them resolved to our satisfaction.

I would recommend that if you make any change that impacts cost after the original quote is done, make sure and get a revised written quote before moving forward.

Our kitchen now looks great, and we are thankful for all the hard work that was done by everyone.

As a retired teacher,I would give this group an A+ based on their effort,completing work on time, communication & quality of finish.
Amer, who we started with began with an initial design & providing a detailed computer graphic showing the before & after images which helped us view the final product & confirmed that HomeReno would be our choice to hire. Amer helped to pick out & co-odinate all the materials
( vanity,sink,hardware, tiles etc) that we needed and as a great convenience,everything was available from the showroom on site which is a great plus for any customer.
Lionel, the supervisor was regularly available on site to help co-odinate and offer knowledgeable suggestions along the way.Lauren ,worked hard on the demolition and another Lionel did very careful work with the plumbing.After the tiling was done, Rob ( an excellent craftsman) did the painting and the rest of the finishing touches.
I was very impressed with Rob's attentiveness and making sure that we were completely satisfied with his work.
Great job team!!!

The best home reno experience ever! We couldn't be happier with the service, professionalism and attention to detail. Home Reno Direct will be our first choice for future renovations, and we will certainly recommend them to anyone who asks for advice

Prior to approaching Home Reno, my husband and I made sure we did a fair amount of research on what to expect, who to hire and what to look for. This was brought on when we started thinking about doing Reno on our main floor. Since we moved to our house in 2000, we haven’t done any upgrade and felt it was time. We heard and read of bad experiences with Reno companies and we wanted to make sure we don’t end up in that situation. We came across Home Reno Direct through an ad in the mail. We did our research on the company, read reviews etc. and we were happy with the info we found. We were nervous at first but after meeting our design consultant Amer, we knew we were in good hands. Our experience over the last few months have been wonderful. Like with anything, there were a few bumps on the way but the end result was AMAZING!!! Home Reno exceeded our expectation. We never realized our kitchen and family room could look that good. It looked like one of the pics in a magazine. Amer’s design was absolutely on point. He captured what we had in mind and he came up with amazing ideas. We are extremely happy. We would like to thank the whole team of very talented tradespeople. Ali, Wyl, Dan, Paul, Barry, Tyler, Miro, Hussein, Rafael, Tony and of course our project manager Anita. If I missed anyone, I do apologize but thank them just the same. Thank you as well to Helen in the office for your support. I will definitely recommend this company to families and friends and won’t hesitate to hire them again for the 2nd phase of our Reno. Maria and Norman, Brampton

The whole point of us hiring a big company was to have a stress-free renovation with minimal management required on our part. Instead, we had 9 months of what can only be described as a nightmare. I would not recommend Home Reno to anyone. There were so many problems that it would take pages and pages to write about, so we will just highlight the most significant.

-Framers took 3 full days to do less than 20 linear feet of framing, that was done so poorly and not to specifications, that it had to be redone. They had access to the whole house and constantly found excuses to be upstairs (heating up food in our microwave, stomping through our living room). Thankfully they were not sent back after we complained to our project manager.

-Electrician poked a hole in the ceiling that went right through our brand new staircase. To date, that stair riser has not been replaced properly. The carpenter cut the riser a half inch too short, and the gap is visible when you are seated and looking at the staircase. -The plumber smoked in our house, and left a cigarette butt on the plastic vapor barrier, leaving a burn hole there. This is not only unprofessional but unsafe.

-The plumber put the plumbing at the wrong height and this caused a lot of stress and havoc when the cement truck arrived – we almost had to cancel this cement delivery – and instead ended up having to pour cement everywhere except for the bathroom – which then had to be done at a later date and causing the cement to settle differently in that area. Project managers rarely visited our home so of course there was no one there to realize the error of the plumbing – thankfully the cement-pouring guys noticed that there was a problem with the plumbing height.

-Later we found out that instead of venting the plumbing outside, the plumber had vented it into our crawl space, causing our finished basement to smell like sewage – we had plenty of stress and anxiety worrying about why. Thankfully, we figured out what the problem was and they were able to fix it.

-The framing was not done by the deadline agreed to, causing us to almost lose our deposit on the foam insulation company – and causing us to have to beg the insulators to come back, while the framers worked furiously, literally at the last minute to get it ready in time – they were pulled off another job last minute to quickly finish the framing on the day of insulation, when they knew about the scheduled insulation date for weeks.

-There would be no one showing up to work on our basement for weeks at a time with no excuse or reason why other than a vague response of “trades related issue.” -This shortage of tradespeople would conveniently happen the instant that an additional payment would be made.

-The side of our yard was constantly full of construction garbage and the personal garbage of the contractors (Tim Hortons cups, water bottles, etc.) At the start of the project, they dropped off a storage bin that was SO big that we couldn’t park our car in the driveway, or barely get past it to access the backyard or our recycling bins. We asked for a smaller bin, but it never came – for the remainder of the project. Instead, we had to bother our project manager every time the garbage was overwhelming and he would personally come and remove the garbage himself into his truck.

-The painter was subcontracted by one of the contractors, and showed up with his two kids for them to paint with him. One of them was a teenager; the other was no older than ten. -Our basement looks great, but this is only as a result of us continuously fighting and pushing for what should be standard operating procedure – someone showing up daily, or at least trying to, and someone doing quality work as per what the company promised. Every week it was a battle to get people to show up and every week, there was a quality issue that needed to be addressed. It got to the point where we had no choice but to withhold payment unless someone showed, and arrange for a daily payment situation to ensure that someone would actually show up. We even got to the point where we let some quality issues slide because we just wanted to not have to deal with them anymore.

-The owners need to seriously re-assess who they hire to do work for their company and ensure that they have enough qualified and trustworthy tradespeople on hand to do a job in a timely manner before they accept it. Our basement took 9 MONTHS to complete. This is 3x longer than they told us it would. This had nothing to do with the complexity of the project or the house being an old downtown house. It was simply because people didn’t show up to work on a regular basement.

-It seems like this company takes on more work than they have people for. They are eager to contact you when a deposit is due, but not eager to send someone your way to finish a job, and continuously break promises in that regard.
