Sam from Toronto

We first hired Emerald City Design in March 2012 to completely gut and renovate our main floor bathroom. We were extremely pleased with the quality of workmanship and have gone on to hire ECD to complete a master bathroom facelift, and a full renovation of our basement and basement bathroom. ECD always offer great suggestions and design solutions, and have an in-depth knowledge of all facets of construction and design. They also have a solid team of licensed professionals to call in for assistance when required. For example, mould and dry rot were discovered during our basement renovation and they promptly brought in an engineer on a Sunday to make sure temporary supports were sufficient and to find permanent solutions for the issues. They are very thorough in fixing what is behind the walls but equally meticulous with the finished aesthetics. We are very picky clients and we were extremely impressed by their tile work, carpentry for custom closets, mouldings, and installation of flooring. We have worked with tilers recommended by tile stores in our previous home, and Chris and Mike's work was far superior. We've also had flooring and drywall installed before with other contractors, and again, ECD's work was far superior. Our basement and bathrooms receive compliments from everyone who see them. It should also be noted that Mike and Chris and their employees are all extremely professional, friendly people. During our renovation projects, I had a baby and the team would always try to work as quietly as possible and reserve louder projects for when the baby was not sleeping. It made such a difference to us to have a team that was sensitive to our needs as a family, and who also cleaned up after themselves every day, making living through the renovation so much easier. As with most renovations, our projects took longer than we had anticipated, but this is often the case with renovation in older homes. Also, Mike and Chris do all the work themselves and do not subcontract. This can make for a slightly longer timeline than going with a larger company, but the quality of work and accountability is well worth it. We also had some budget overages, but these arose due to problems found behind the walls. When we added work to the renovations, Mike and Chris were very fair regarding how much they charged for add ons. As mentioned previously, we have now hired ECD for three separate renovations and we would not hesitate to hire them again or recommend them to anyone.

We are very happy with Good Looking Homes' service and the quality of workmanship. Liam was easy to reach and responded to my emails promptly. The work was scheduled quickly and happened with minimal disruption to our home. Our deck was covered with years of grime and I am happily surprised by how clean Liam and his crew were able to get it. They also did a terrific job on our flagstone. We would highly recommend Good Looking Homes for your exterior home maintenance.
