We used Ideal Direct for the interior of our home. It was a fully gutted job and we could not be happier. A couple of years later we decided to landscape and renovate our entire backyard. This was not a small task. Our yard is a steep hill from nearly the back of the lot to the back of the house. Our yard is huge (80s home huge lots). The entire backyard had nothing done to it except a tiny cement slab for a table that barely fit. Ideal Direct made us the oasis we have always wanted. A garden at the top of our hill now extends the length of the back wall. This was an engineering feat to say the least. A retaining wall over 5 feet made of 300lb blocks now lines our back yard with a giant vegetable garden built to our exact desires. That is not all. A substantial patio was added which is covered by a gigantic yet beautiful covered outdoor space including a custom designed shed attached. There is pot lights inside and out of the space. This includes a sidewalk around the whole structure. Honestly I can not explain it well enough for you to understand so see the pictures. Back to Eddie. He is by far the most understanding and patient contractor I have ever dealt with. He ensures that every aspect of the job is perfected. He works with your budget and stretches every dollar to the max to get you the best bang for your buck. His team works unbelievably hard and are the greatest workers around. I honestly say after doing the interior of my home, I was glad we chose Ideal Direct and Eddie to complete our project. I looked around but he was the best price for the best quality and I highly recommend him. Like I said check out the pictures. Amazing.

Here are some pictures of the lovely work that Ideal Direct Home Improvements did on our basement. We are more than thrilled at the results, as the workmanship is amazing. The entire cost of the project was a little over 60k and this is based on the fact that this was a total gut job and prior to the renovation we had major water leakage issues had to be dealt with. A great deal for what needed to be done. We dealt directly with the contractor and the communication was amazing, no middle man communication was required. All city inspections passed first time. We could not be any more pleased than we are with the results. Look at the pictures and see for yourself the amazing work that was done. I highly recommend Ideal Direct Home Improvements for your renovation needs.

I looked all over for companies to do the renovation on my 80s home that had not had a single update since the 80s (except some ugly coloured hardwood flooring). I mean this house was a total gut job. New and relocated kitchen, old fireplace removal, new tiles throughout, resurfacing and staining the ugly coloured hardwood, gutting and replacing 3 washrooms, tearing out walls and getting rid of small 80s rooms and making a more open concept main floor as well as constructing new walls with all new electrical and plumbing. The list of jobs went on and on. It was a huge project and Ideal Direct Home Improvements did a 100% excellent job on all of it. I was given a choice throughout various changes, updated daily on progress and given a variety of options for the trades people that the lead organizer used. Advice from the professionals was absolutely phenomenal and non-stop and frankly the work done was beyond my expectations. I had a huge amount of tile put throughout the house and I am telling you I can not find a single uneven spot in the place. It is testament to the care that was put into the renovation of this home. I am so confident in the work that was done that I am now having Ideal Direct Home Improvements finish my basement project as well. I can not recommend this company enough. I am beyond impressed in all regards and if you want to find the best deal out there for your renos and not get hosed by the other "professionals" I say try Ideal Direct Home Improvements. Trades were top notch, Communication was excellent, and everything was done to my specifications and satisfaction. Give them a try you will not be disappointed in the slightest.
