Double T Contracting Inc.

We count ourselves very lucky to have found Taras, and that he had an opening to take our project on.
We bought a 1980s house that was partially updated, but the parts that weren't updated... really needed some attention.
 
Our timeline was tight, from when purchased the house to when we moved in - and he came through. We ran into some things along the way that ended up going beyond the initial scope of the contract. Not only did he handle things in stride, but when necessary he had other trades in to handle things in a timely fashion too.  
 
It ended up being new floors throughout. All bathrooms redone, basement was technically finished but needed a lot of fixing/updating. Lots of misc fixes throughout. Really, there's little that Taras didn't end up fixing atleast a little in some way. 
 
I can't say I had as much interaction with his team as my wife did, but she assures me all of his guys were courteous and careful.

Overall we're extremely happy with the work. High quality, efficient, no-hassle, on budget, above-and-beyond. Even on a personal level, he seems like a genuinely good guy, and so we whole-heartedly recommend Double T contracting.

We couldn't be more satisfied with Double T Contracting's work! Taras and his team are highly skilled, professional, polite and trustworthy.
They were a pleasure to work with and they went above and beyond to meet our needs. Our house is completely transformed, full of natural light and the finishes are amazing.
When you work with Double T Contracting, they take care of everything. Taras was able to work with our Interior Designer, handle appliances and materials delivery, coordinate a team of professionals. Every morning we would have a brief chat with him to discuss the game plan for the day, make the necessary decisions and we would go to work worry-free. The project went smoothly, on time and on budget! We really enjoyed chatting with Taras to get his input on the project. He is very knowledgeable and always finds a solution to home renovation challenges.
We were most impressed by the team's superior attention to details and craftsmanship. They would work extra hours just to finish something and make it perfect. They are also extremely good at keeping the house livable, keeping the level of dust to a minimum, even building a little fence to prevent our cat from going downstairs!
The last day, the whole team made sure that the house was fully cleaned and welcoming. We were sad to see them go!

We already have recommended Double T Contracting to friends and would definitely hire them again!

Taras and his team just finished our renovation on our house and we can't say enough about how incredible he is to work with. No one can believe how seamless the renovation was and how happy we were with all aspects, and this was in no small part because of Taras. For context, the scope of our project was a full main floor gut of a 120 year old Leslieville Victorian semi.

We found Taras through Homestars, and met with him a few times before deciding. We got a good feeling from him but it was seeing his relationship and speaking with a former client that sealed the deal for us. I would recommend doing the same.

As for the project, he wrapped up ahead of the schedule he promised, right on budget, and the workmanship far surpassed our expectations. I'm a very detail oriented person, and Taras, Terry and Mark would re-do things that I could see no problem with because they take such great pride in a perfect finished product. We had some very tricky aspects because of the age of our house, but they were always motivated by the challenge and never ever complained. They put a substantial amount of extra work and materials in to make sure our house was safe and the finishes were perfect, and there was never any fuss made about extra cost.

Taras only does one job at a time, which means he is there in person, all day, every day. This is incredibly valuable for 2 reasons. It gave us great peace of mind knowing he would be there when any other trades or delivery people came through. He really took care of the house for us like it was his own. The other benefit is that he wants to finish the project on time as much as you do. He's very experienced so you can put stock in any timelines he gives you.

Finally, and probably most importantly, Taras, Terry and Mark are some of the nicest guys I have ever met. They are extremely patient, honest, and genuine. I'm sure you'll be as thrilled as we were with the entire process and the finished product if you work with Double T.

Taras and his team transformed our house into a home. I cannot express how amazing they were in their craftsmanship, attention to detail, their ability to get things done and their professionalism. Our first floor went from 3 rooms to open concept, our hardwood floors upgraded and our bathroom and kitchen renovated to fit a beautiful, modern esthetic. I would not hesitate to go with Double T again for future renos or to recommend them to anyone in search of a GC. Taras is your consummate perfectionist and strives for excellence. He puts his customers first, providing guidance and expertise on decisions, and always in the best interest of you and your family. I am certain he will help to meet your vision just as he met ours.

Taras and his team just finished a spectacular reno on my bathroom, laundry room, and bedroom. The bathroom is truly jaw-dropping. The workmanship is flawless, and all of his team is a pleasure to deal with - professional, considerate, and highly skilled.

Taras is one of the most professional people I have dealt with - clearly explains things, design choices, and delivers his work on time and on budget. He clearly takes great pride in all his work -- and is easy to work with. And will go the extra mile to make sure that the work is exceptional. An in older homes that can be challenging, but he makes it all work. I really wanted exposed brick in the bathroom - and he figured out how to make it beautiful and durable. I almost don't want to write this review - as I want to work again with him - and I don't want him to get too busy :)

We hired Double T contracting to completely gut and renovate our main bathroom, and are so glad we did. Taras and his crew were professional and friendly, arriving when they said they would every day, and the project finished at the schedule and budget we agreed on. Taras was helpful in giving advice on materials and layout, and even came back over 2 months later to install a custom mirror I finally managed to order. I would not hesitate to recommend his services to anyone who has need of a contractor that is honest and a pleasure to work with!

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.

Taras and his guys did a fabulous job on our kitchen, turned out exactly as we had envisaged and they were a pleasure to work with.

Taras and Terry are meticulous in their workmanship and skill set. You could not ask for a better contractor. Extremely professional and caring. We used them for two main bathroom reno's the last being in November of 2015. Quality of service is exceptional. Called twice to make sure that we were happy with their work. They helped make all the decisions easy for the homeowner and gave valuable insight to any concerns that we might have. Would recommend them and would use them again. 100% satisfied with this company.

We hired Taras and his guys for another kitchen reno in our new house which we purchased in June 2015. We had used his company for a kitchen reno in our old house less than a year earlier and were VERY happy with the results, so it was a simple decision to hire him again. Scope of work was gutting the existing kitchen, moving walls to open up the space, installing a kitchen island, new cupboards, new granite counters etc . The results were fantastic and Taras and his team were a pleasure to work with (again!). We love our new kitchen and would definitely use his team again for future renos , as well as recommend him to anyone who asks.
