Builders in North Salem, NS

“Pat and his crew did a major renovation, including a two level addition, on our 50 year+ brick home. He kept us informed throughout of unexpected developments and their consequences, including costs, and offered helpful advice on the ways to address them. His crew was conscientious, respectful and cleaned up to allow us to live in the home through the bulk of the construction. Pat liaised effectively with kitchen installers and others needed throughout the project. His team's work was of consistent high quality. Since completing the first renovation we have hired Pat again for two additional projects - a renovation of our basement bedroom and bathroom, and the installation of a new fence. All of these projects have been completed beyond our expectations. I have no hesitation in highly recommending Pat and his team.”

“I live in an older home and completed the first half of a large renovation that included lots of nasty work - removing old solarium, plumbing, electrical....complete bathroom renovation, built-in cabinets, moldings, painting, plaster repair, fixtures.......They did a great job! Easy to work with/communicate with. They were honest and detail oriented. They made lots of great suggestions and shared ideas based on experience. They have become my "go to guys" for my small jobs and I will be using them again for my next large project.”

“Great company to deal with. A little slow in getting started because of this year's demand for construction but when they commenced it was only a few days and our 12 x 24 garage was complete with dormer, garage door, mandoor and window. Would highly recommend Steve and his fine crew.”

“Here at the Moulding Warehouse we have had the pleasure of working with many contractors, building companies, and residential clients throughout the years. Cresco is one of our clients we supply moulding to, and we are proud of the beautiful rooms Cresco is able to transform with our product. They are known for their high class homes, such as the Abidali Residence, and the QEII Lottery Homes. They have beautiful workmanship, and are able to make your vision a reality.”

“Very detailed in all communication, both renovation and new construction. Excellent understanding of needs of aging clients. Offered suggestions and alternatives. Estimated costs were accurate. Definitely recommend this contractor.”

“Highmark Custom Home Builders (owned and operated by Mark Manuel) built a custom home for us about a year ago. Mark exceeded every one of our expectations and we strongly recommend his services to anyone wanting a beautiful, well built home. From the very beginning, we knew we were in good hands with Mark. Even before we had designed our home, Mark accompanied us to vacant lots and offered his advice regarding the suitability of each lot for various types of homes. He was always punctual, prepared and patient, answering all of our questions even before we had committed to choosing him. When we finally purchased our lot, Mark assisted us throughout the entire design process. It became very quickly apparent to us that Mark is incredibly knowledgeable and takes great pride in his work. He encouraged us to design the home that we wanted to live in, always willing to offer his insight and advice but always supportive of our own vision. While negotiating our building contract, Mark met with us on numerous occasions – including in his own beautiful home – to ensure that he clearly understood our expectations and desires. Through this extensive communication, he was able to provide us with realistic estimates and allowances so that our final bill was just as we expected it would be. Communicating with Mark is easy because he is extremely personable. He is friendly, honest, open, sincere, often funny and extremely likeable. Through the building process, we gained not just a beautiful home but a friend. Mark and his family will always be welcome in our home. Despite all of the warnings we heard from friends and family about the stressful process of home building, we can honestly reflect on a process that was not only stress-free but also fun. The process was stress-free because Mark treated our home as if it was his own. Mark is a perfectionist, often making “repairs” and improvements that we didn’t even ask for. Mark’s perfectionism is clearly evident in his work. Every person who has passed through our home – including contractors and woodworkers – have remarked at the quality of Mark’s work. Every surface is finished impeccably. Looking at each and every corner of our home, there is no doubt that Mark takes extreme pride in his work. That pride is well warranted as we can honestly say that we have never seen a home more beautiful than the one Mark built for us. Mark promptly responded to every phone call and every email. If he didn’t know the answer to our question, which was rare, he was always quick to find out. He also demonstrated incredible patience throughout the entire process – even when we badgered him relentlessly with question after question, or changed our minds for the tenth time. Mark always responded with a smile and helpful advice. Words cannot truly express how grateful we are to Mark or how happy we are to recommend him to anyone thinking of building. With Mark, we have no doubt that you will receive the expert, personalized service that we received from an absolutely wonderful person.”

“We have had the pleasure of supplying moulding and doors to Premiere Contracting & Remodeling. They do a beautiful job of skilfully transforming homes in a timely, and professional manner. Their trim work is immaculate, and detailed in design. They are great at what they do, and are great people to work with.”

“We hired Floran Lambie's firm to renovate our kitchen. I can't say enough good things about Floran and his crew. They did a wonderful job - we completely love our beautiful new kitchen. Floran was so lovely to work with: He has a quiet, respectful demeanour and is completely honest. He was true to his estimate for the job. When we made changes to the plans, he ensured we understood the financial impact of those changes. He listened to our ideas and designed a kitchen that met our needs and addressed our concerns. He offered good advice: we followed his advice on several issues and he was absolutely correct. Floran started our job exactly when promised and he completed the work in a reasonable amount of time, given some additional issues addressed. There were no delays in completing that inevitable final list of small items. Floran employs good and skilled tradespeople who were polite and respectful of both our property and our privacy. A kitchen renovation is quite an invasive project and Floran did everything possible to restrict the impact on us. We trust Floran and look forward to working with him again for our next project. We definitely recommend his firm for any renovation project.”

“I have had two homes built by Pinehurst Homes and the quality of service and workmanship has been exceptional in both cases. In particular, I have dealt with Todd Ching and he has taken the time to listen to our ideas and concerns, kept us informed of progress and advised us if a decision needed to be made. He is honest and can be trusted which was very important to us when building our dream home. Our first home experience was so positive that we jumped at the chance to build another house with Todd. We were not disappointed and I am sure you won't be either.”

“I had the “Walk Through Tub Insert” install in my bathtub, and I love it. It is so much safer for my mother to step into the tub for a shower, and the health care workers love it too. I purchased the “Quick Cap”, so the tub can be used for a bath within seconds. It is the best of both worlds. I am thrilled with both the product and service.”
