Newfore Inc.

Newfore renovated our duplex in Hamilton. This was our first investment property and the first project we took on of this size. We were thrilled to see how much control we had over the project with their app and were also happy to have a one-stop-shop contractor. From the flooring to trim and cabinets, they had their own selections available for us at their office. We would definitely recommend them for any size renovations you're looking for in this city!

The team at Newfore were great from the start of the project to the end. The completely gutted our condo and renovated it. We were so excited the work was completed on time and they were a pleasure to work with. One thing we were really impressed by was the level of professionalism and friendliness of the workers. These things make a big difference especially when we would change our mind with the design. Thanks Parvez and Joe for the stellar work!

Renovated our home's second floor for us and wow it looks fantastic!! Communication with the office was great as well. We changed our mind a few times and they made sure that there was constant communication during the project.

Renovated our basement with Newfore and we're thrilled with the results. We added a bathroom, a laundry room and a bedroom as well and the space is very functional now.

My wife and I called Newfore for an estimate to renovate our basement. We bought our first home which was built in the 1950s and the basement was in really bad condition. The was a damp scent and we had to get it renovated to have some more usable space in our new home. Seif came out for the initial estimate and from the start he was very professional. He listened to our design suggestions first then made suggestions of his own which we ended up using. You could tell that he was treating the space like it was his own. When we started the work, the crew were very clean and neat. They swept up at the end of each day and covered the space they were walking in on the main level. We are so happy with our new basement and thanks again for all the work.

We renovated our 15 year old home. Removed the old carpet stairs and replaced them with hardwood. The house looks so much more modern now. Thanks to everyone that worked hard on this project!

I'm so happy we went with Newfore to install hardwood floors and tiles in our new house. I wanted to share some close up pictures of the work and you can see how they cut around the water lines in our kitchen. Its so clean even though we won't see this area after the cabinets are installed. It's so reassuring seeing this because it gives us confidence that the rest of their work is done equally well. Thanks Joe, Seif and the rest of the team!

We recently purchased house that needed updating.
The estimator came in, quoted the work and the crew got right to work.
They kept us informed every step of the way and made the process as easy and stress free as possible.
Thanks everyone for the great work!

We hired Seif of Newfore Inc. to turn two bedrooms on main floor into one master bedroom and to remove a load-bearing wall between the kitchen and living room. That wall would require engineered drawings and a permit to complete the work. Step one was to pay the $2500+HST for the drawings which we did right away. Our timing with our project was to start Aug 8 and complete the work by end of Aug- in time for our move in date.

The engineer drawings took weeks to complete and, after a second visit to the house, they were finally in the process to complete. At this point, we were advised it would be one wk for the drawings to be completed and then take them to the city and it would take 2-3 wks for the drawings and permit to be approved. Doing the math, we realized that the work would NOT be completed prior to the 28th of August (our move in date). Furthermore, to our complete shock, Seif would NOT start the bedroom project first to accommodate us in completing that part of the project prior to the 28th. Seif advised that he wouldn't split up the project and that we would have to wait until the permit and approval was back from the city to do the complete project and both walls!!

Newfore did NOT deliver on the work nor timing of our request to tear down a bedroom wall and a living room wall. We had a one month gap and between homes to do the work we needed to in our new home. Here we were, 8 days before moving in and the project was at least two weeks away from starting. If Seif had had any sense of urgency to moving the project along AND completed our bedroom wall dismantle prior to the kitchen wall coming down at a later date, we would have been fine. Instead, he stuck to his very non-accomodating plan of doing all the work AFTER we move in. Funny part is he said "we will cover up all the furniture because there will ba a lot of dust". Imagine your bedroom furniture covered with demolition and sanding occuring all around it for days on end! Where do we sleep during this process?

On August 20th, Seif cancelled our contract. Our family was in awe. We were left hanging after spending extra money taking a bridge loan from the bank to have the work completed prior to moving in and to be hit with that?? The most shocking part to this is that Seif then turned to us advising that the engineer drawings were actually $4700+HST and not the originally quoted and contracted price of $2500+HST. Why? Because he said the lower price was based on Newfore doing the entire project. He's the one that pulled the contract so why would I pay more at this point? This was absolutely absurd! He was demanding the payment variance ASAP. At no time did we sign off on this added amount nor did we agree to it.

On Aug 22, Seif wrote in an email: "If we do not receive payment by EOD today, the drawings will be considered invalid tomorrow morning at 8:30AM and the city will not be processing your building permit application. The drawings will be revalidated once payment is made."
Under the advisement of our lawyer, we are taking this to the Better Business Bureau. This is a greasy move and one that is disrespectful and uncalled for. We paid for those drawings and for him to say that he has a lot of pull with the city and was going to use it to get them to NOT accept them for us to continue our project? There are no words to describe how we are feeling right now. We have a call into the city to discuss this.

We are now out of pocket for costs incurred: change of moving date fee and lawyer's fees.

As per Seif, we no longer have valid engineered drawings. We are supposed to move in next week! Our family is at a loss over what has transpired and, what should be a happy time moving into our new home, has been a very disturbing experience for us.

SAVE YOURSELF THE TIME, TROUBLE AND MONEY and find yourself a RELIABLE, TRUST-WORTHY AND PROFESSIONAL contractor.

We renovated our master bedroom, bathroom and walk-in closet. The results really speak for themselves. Stunning workmanship and excellent finishing recommendations. Thanks to Zak and his crew for their beautiful work.
