After looking around for a while for a contractor, i came across Jon and his team. I must say i was very please with the quality of their work. I like the attention to details and not having to worry about cleaning up after the job was completed. Looking forward to using your services again and will recommend to family and friends. NG

Jon and his team were great: friendly and responsive with design suggestions, pretty quick with the overall project, and delivered quality work. I would recommend McLaren Custom Homes for anyone looking for a skilled and trustworthy GC.

Jon, Ross, Dan and the team were really great to work with. They fully gutted a a 1880s Victorian Semi in Cabbagetown Toronto home and gave us our dream. Jon is transparent in his pricing and communicates very well. Would highly recommend.

My wife and I are planning to use Jon and his crew to do our 3rd floor addition in the spring!

Jon and his crew did an excellent job in renovating our almost 100-year-old house. They did the main floor and upstairs, including new kitchen, new flooring, new powder room, new nights etc. Jon was very responsive, open to changes (when we decided to add in-floor heating throughout the house) and gave us good advice when planning out the renovation. We highly recommend McLaren Custom Homes!

Took out a wall between hallway and kitchen, opened up the whole first floor. A big Island makes the room much more functional. The custom cabinet company they use were great to work with and made a quality product. McLaren Homes was professional, easy to talk to, willing to make some modifications along the way. They really tried to understand our vision for the space, and our needs, and then they made it happen. Would definitely recommend McLaren Homes.

We decided to renovate our garage to create more space and provide a home office/play area. Jon and his team were referred to us by friends and we couldn't be happier with the work they did. The project was done on schedule, on budget and with very minimal changes to the scope (based on our requests).

Jon's level of professionalism was evident from our first meeting. He connected with us daily to provide updates and made sure we knew who would be coming to our location and when. Given this entire project was done during a pandemic, this was especially helpful. Everyone followed COVID safety regulations and we felt very safe.

We lacked a clear vision and Jon and Ross were able to guide us every step of the way - this project turned out better than we could have ever anticipated.

Thank you for making this happen and we hope we're lucky enough to do our next reno with Mclaren Custom Homes.

Mclaren custom homes did an incredible job transforming our bare bones basement into a beautiful and welcoming space!
The whole process with Jon and Ross from initial discussion, design and planning to the final day was excellent. They are a class act and a true pleasure to work with. Every large project has its challenges and this was no exception with COVID lock-down hitting early on (!), but jon and Ross worked within our comfort level and after a short break, took on much of the work themselves to ensure we got the project completed without significant delays.
The end result is fantastic - the quality of work is first class and we are getting a huge amount of use out of the space already. (The custom wine storage in particular is getting use!) This is the third time we have used McLaren Custom Homes and they will always be the first call for future work we have and first recommendation to friends looking for a company that produces top quality work, with a true focus on customer experience and satisfaction.

We contracted Mclaren Custom Homes October 2019 to renovate our upper level 4 bedroom Mississauga home and we are extremely pleased and proud of the results. Over a 4-month timeline Jon of Mclaren Custom Homes and Ross transformed our upper level from dingy, outdated and unappealing to bright, modern, relaxing and pleasing to the eye. The renovation included gutting to the studs, insulating and re-drywalling the master bathroom, and expanding a 2-piece bathroom to include a shower. The main upstairs bathroom was renovated by Mclaren Custom Homes 2 years previously according to the same standards. The popcorn ceilings were removed, the door frames and baseboards were replaced. Pot lights were installed in the master bedroom, and all bathrooms; the master closets were expanded, and new light fixtures were installed in the bathrooms, bedrooms and hallway. In addition, the main staircase was capped, railing replaced, and hardwood flooring was installed. Extra insulation and baffles were added to the attic space.
All of Jon’s trades people: carpentry (Ross), licensed electricians, plumbers, plasterers, tilers, painters, shower glass installers, hardwood floor and stair installers were skilled, knowledgeable, and professional and demonstrated years of experience and pride in their work. The electrical work was inspected by ESA. Jon’s choice of trades people is evident in the final product.
Ross designed and built the master closet and linen closets as well as doing the framing, drywalling, door frames, baseboards and spray insulation.
Work was done to code and scheduled and completed according to the contracted timeline with only minor variations. Jon is easy to work with, is trustworthy, competently experienced in home renovations/building, and explained each stage thoroughly to us. Our questions were answered, and any concerns were resolved satisfactorily. Our upper level of our home after the renovation is now comfortable and a pleasure to be in and adds value to our home. We can confidently recommend Mclaren Custom Homes and his trades people to deliver a home renovation to be proud of. The final product of the renovation demonstrates that doing things correctly is the best policy. In the years to come we hope to contract with Jon again to renovate the main level of our home.

We needed our fence replaced. John came out quickly to provide us with a quote and scope of work with a timeline. He kept us updated throughout the completion of the project.
We will definitely hire him again and have already recommended him to others.

Jon and his team worked diligently on our beautiful home, for almost an entire calendar year, through the winter, spring and summer. Aside from the finished product and the execution of our dream home, we would hire Jon again because he has EMPATHY, and provides the necessary customer service that is needed when going through a massive renovation, on top of a special work ethic. Highly recommend.
