Double T Contracting Inc.

I have hired Double T Contracting Inc. to do a number of projects at my Cabbagetown home and I would recommend Taras and his team without reservation or qualification. The Double T team is skilled, professional, and attentive to detail.

In late 2013, Double T gutted a dilapidated washroom on the 2nd floor of my home. After doing so, they levelled the very crooked floor, reframed and insulated the walls, wired in new electrical and radiant floor heating, updated the plumbing, custom built a large shower, put in a retro-looking toilet and sink, and installed black and white tiling to give the room a desired Art Deco look. Although Taras and his crew had to work in a small space, their work transformed the area into a comfortable and inviting room.

The excellent work completed by Double T on the bathroom in late 2013, however, was outdone when the team installed a new IKEA kitchen in early 2015. Once again, the entire room was gutted to the brick, reframed, insulated thermally and acoustically, rewired, drywalled, and painted. New plumbing was also put into place. The back wall to the kitchen was also removed and structurally reinforced to add the mud room at the back end of the house to the kitchen. The results were stunning: drawers and cabinets from floor to the 9 ft. high ceiling, an L-shaped granite countertop, funky backsplash, large stainless sink and counter next to the south window, roomy pantry, new fridge with French doors, and traditional hardwood flooring. Numerous LED pot lights, retro diner pendant lights, and hidden lighting under the glassed cupboards, provides different options that I never had previously. My only complaint in the entire renovation process was directed not at Double T but at IKEA, which was repeatedly out of stock for certain cabinetry items, a problem which was eventually resolved.

During the bathroom and kitchen renovations, I worked closely with Taras to discuss general concepts and features, including my desire for a retro look. And owing to the experience, craftsmanship, and skills of the Double T team, the two rooms quickly took shape with amazing results.
