During the winter, we wanted to pre-book a renovation for our main bathroom in the late spring or early summer. With all the manpower and supply problems out there, we soon realized this would be easier said than done. We repeatedly encountered poor or no communication from contractors, with some even coming over to provide a quote and then going totally incommunicado afterwards. A huge pain and waste of time for everyone. Summit was one of the few contractors willing to commit to a specific time period and a specific cost, and we are very grateful to them for this.

Arash and his team kept to the promised timeline, and we are heartily pleased with the outcome. Fine workmanship and a nice bunch of tradespeople to work with. A special nod to Hakim, Omar, Reza, Sayeed and his son; and the tilers (whose names I've forgotten) were top notch.

Arash provided excellent advice and contacts for suppliers all the way along, and he was very accommodating about handling jobs not directly related to the bathroom renovation -- and at a reasonable additional price.

The only reason we're not giving Summit a "10" is that we sometimes found the communication with Arash a little strained. We got the impression that Summit is somewhat overwhelmed by all the work they've taken on, and this sometimes translated into tense exchanges with us and his crew. We wonder, though, if this is true among all contractors these days, what with all the stresses and strains of the pandemic and economic uncertainties.

We also recommend that if you have special concerns about clean-up after each day's work, that you really insist on this and make sure Summit takes care of this at the end of each day. Overall, everyone was good about keeping dust and disruption down to a minimum, but it seems like a little more could have been done, especially where non-Summit tradespeople are brought in. Again, this is probably a problem across the sector, but insisting on this from the start might save some headache and prevent couples from ending up in divorce court!

We look forward to saving up some money and having Arash and his team over again soon for another excellent renovation job. They probably charge more than many contractors out there, but we feel the extra expense was worth it.

We selected Summit to renovate our main bathroom as we had a very particular design and plan in mind, which required a detail-oriented approach. After an initial site-visit and quote, we signed on with Summit and began purchasing the materials for our design. When we had questions about specifications for some of the products, we would email Arash for clarity, and he was able to provide a response.

Construction began as scheduled, and the demolition was done cleanly and quickly. The floors and stairs leading to the bathroom were protected with sheets throughout, which we appreciated. The dry wall and flooring were prepared with an eye for detail and accuracy, to ensure straight lines and angles, and Nima would check in whenever he had questions about the work. Our bathroom is fairly small, and Summit was able to remove and reduce unnecessarily bulkheads to open up the space as we had hoped.

Waterproofing was provided for the shower, and we requested a shower niche as well. The tile-work is some of the best I have seen - the tiler went above and beyond to ensure a seamless look for our fish-scale tiles in the shower; this is definitely my favourite part of the bathroom. Though there were some issues with the plumbing, Arash was able to get it sorted and stay on schedule. The shower glass was custom-cut to size, and care was taken to ensure that all bathroom fixtures were appropriately centred - all of this contributes to a very polished look.

Due to circumstances outside of his control, Arash was not able to be as present as he typically would which caused some communication challenges for us at certain points, but despite this, the overall the project remained on-budget and on-schedule, and was completed to our satisfaction. We would therefore recommend Summit.

Ultimately, if you are looking for a more affordable project, this might not be the option for you, but if you are looking for detail-oriented and customized work, Summit will be able to deliver.

I am a repeat customer of Summit Contractors -- 18 months ago they finished my kitchen renovation for me and did an excellent job. We enjoy it everyday, and have found no flaws in their work!

Last month I had a 10' x 3' window (& cut-out) installed and was left with challenging interior framing and drywall repairs around the window. I called Arash and he was helpful as always. His drywall guys, Reza and Faro are really good! They finished the job quickly and on budget. I've attached a before and after shot for reference. I highly recommend Summit Contractors and will use them again myself.

The two installers showed up early and were ready to start the job. They ensured everything was covered and cleaned up afterwards. The price was great and I am really happy with the finished product.

Summit Contractors did a fantastic job. The backsplash is perfect and really brings the kitchen together. The job was done on the exact timeline provided to me and no hidden costs. They kept my place nice and clean also. Great job!

Arash and his team completed our ensuite renovation on shedule and to the agreed budget. The reason we chose Summit is the amount of care they provided in protecting our home from the renovation and the level of detail and quality provided by the workers in completing each phase of the renovation to our demanding needs. We will certainly use them for future bathroom renovations.

We completed a bathroom remodel with Summit from a 50 year old relic to a clean modern space, including a tiled shower/bath with niche, in-wall toilet (in a new wall) and a rebuilt door frame. They were very patient as we experienced delays from our material suppliers and once the materials were ready they began promptly and worked hard to stay on schedule. As with any reno there were small surprises and issues to resolve: each was handled smartly and urgently, and with very fair impact on cost. The work took just a bit longer to complete than estimated but Summit took that time rather than compromise on the quality of their work and it shows in a beautiful result.

We started planning for this renovation just as Covid-19 was starting. So we delayed it a year. We reached out to Arash and he remembered us and started to work on the plan. We were impressed as they started the job on time and finished on time. Everyone on Arash's team was very professional and friendly. There were some hiccups along the way but Arash took every issue seriously and would personally correct what ever wasn't perfect. He takes great pride in his work. Thank you for a great new ensuite Arash.

Our journey to both a beautiful and practical new bathroom began several months ago when we scoped out possible contractor partners. After searching on Home Stars and talking with several contractors - all of whom had great ratings - we decided to hire Summit Contractors....and it was a great decision!

We were a bit nervous before the renovation began, but it turns out we had no need to fear! Arash and his team of professionals were wonderful to work with - from talking through the design (a little challenging given the small space and the combined desired for a calm and inviting space with the need for a safe space in an inter-generational home with varying needs) to the demolition work through to the final paint and trimming and installation of the walk-in shower glass by Itsglassified.

COVID protocols, daily clean-ups, and a clear project plan with timelines for the stages of the work meant that we felt safe and could work from home without interruption throughout the renovation.

We are extremely happy with the results - each member of Arash's team from demolition, plumbing and electrical, to plaster, painting and tile installation are professional, punctual, great at what they do, and pay attention to details.

Thank you Summit Contractors!

Arash and his team were a pleasure to work with. The project was on time and on budget. I am so happy with the end result.

I would highly recommend Summit Contractors!
