Grand Building And Contracting

Grand Building did a great job all the way from the initial estimate, helping firm up out ideas, material selection and actual build.
Communication was very good all the way through, and great craftsmanship.

We were very pleased with our front porch Reno from start to finish with Grand Building. The planning and timing were in line with our wishes. Their expertise assisted our decision making as well. We would definitely recommend this company to others.

We used Grand Building to renovate three of our bathrooms plus the adjoining spaces. We were really happy with how everything turned out! On top of that, we were pleased with the experience - it was stress-free and on schedule. Adam was great at communicating the status and the schedule each week. Ben and Wade and the trades were pleasant to deal with and respectful of our space. I would not hesitate to use them again or recommend them to others.

Adam, Ben and the team at Grand Building did a great job on our main bathroom renovation. They completed the project on time and on budget, and the quality of workmanship was excellent.

The work team was punctual, and they kept the site clean and laid our protective carpet to ensure no damage to floors.

I would highly recommend them for any household renovation.

From the very beginning we were pleased with the prompt service and communication with Grand Building, which included the initial design & recommendations, but it also continued throughout with updates on schedule and progress.  The various specialty crews were all very friendly, professional and did quality work.  

In short, Grand Building provided reliable quality work at a competitive cost and maintained the schedule from the original estimate.  We will definitely keep them in mind for future projects.

From the time we bought our house we had always planned to enclose up our carport into a garage one day. This year we finally decided to put our plans into action. Our house, which was built in 1962, was also looking tired and needing some major attention. We started looking for contractors and talked to quite a few. Somehow none seemed a good match to our needs until we came to Grand Building & Contracting. We spoke to Alex who came across to us as a very knowledgeable, experienced and solid professional. He explained in detail the process and structure of the garage he planned to build for us. Most of all, we find that what set Alex apart from the other contractors we spoke to, was the enthusiasm and passion he brought along as he presented to us his proposed design. He truly enjoyed what he was doing, listened to us and worked very hard to suggest designs that would bring out the best effect for our house. He was truly committed to give us our dream house. Once the job started, it got better. There was nothing we could complain about. Every day, Alex or one of his sons, Adam or Jason would visit the site to check on the work being done. All three of them consistently kept us informed of the work in progress. If we ever had a question or wanted to discuss something, Alex, who was our usual contact person, was always one phone call away. He responded quickly to phone calls, texts and emails. When talking to him, we really felt that he was giving us his 100% attention and was always very respectful to our requests. All three of them, Alex, Adam and Jason were excellent at communicating the order of work, and were friendly and courteous. We had done renovations before, but we had never enjoyed such peace of mind as working with Grand Building and Contracting. They are truly a God-send. What a blessing for us to have hired them to do our renovation work. Throughout the process, we know that we were in good, capable hands. Alex, Adam and Jason really put us at ease about the renovation and were there every step of the way. They monitored the work very closely. We felt that our job truly mattered to them. Trades were lined up very carefully and we never had to wait for the next step. The brothers, Adam and Jason worked very hard to add extra features to accentuate the design, transforming our house from being plain to elegant. The garage was solidly constructed, stone and stucco work was first-rate, and the porch and walkway were very tastefully built. Many neighbours came to compliment and admire Grand’s work of art and top-notch, solid construction.
Special mention must be made about the tradesmen they hired. They were all very experienced, highly skilled, pleasant and courteous. They worked conscientiously, cleaned up the place at the end of each day, and always took away their garbage at the end of the job. It was such a pleasure working with each and every one of them.
The final result of their well-coordinated teamwork was breathtaking and our house is truly the envy of the neighborhood now! Walkers would stop by our curbside smiling and nodding approvingly. Grand’s flyers which they placed next to their sign board on our lawn were completely sold out in our neighborhood!
We cannot say enough how wonderful our experience was, working with Grand Building & Contracting. They are truly a hallmark for communication, organization, timeliness, design, quality and details. Last but not least Grand’s professional integrity is not just good or excellent but exemplary! They strive to give you nothing less than their best and will stop at nothing to make you happy with the end result. So to Adam, Jason, Alex and all your tradesmen, thank you very much for such a beautiful house you have magically re-constructed for us. Your hard work, dedication and passion will stay with us every time we enjoy our beautiful home. The project turned out better than expectations. Adam, thank you so much for the extra job you did for us out of your own expense. The newly painted door frame looks so right and is the finishing touch to a most beautiful work you have done for us.
We most highly recommend Grand Building & Constructing to anyone who is planning to renovate their house. You will enjoy both the process and the end result. Great company!

Adam and all of his crew were very easy to deal with and produced excellent work, surpassing my expectations. They came in on budget and ahead of schedule. My wife and I were extremely pleased with everything. I definitely would recommend this company to anyone.

We are so happy with our new garage! The old one was over 70 years old and had to go. Our property boundaries are a little unusual due to a private alley and the inspector was very difficult which delayed the permit. Adam had the patience of a saint, going back to the city multiple times and ultimately he got the permit approved the way we wanted it. Once that was done, the project proceeded quickly. Each team was great from the teardown, the pouring of the concrete, framers and the roofers. They left the area clean each night, were considerate to the neighbours and most importantly did great work. The project was done on budget and it looks perfect. We couldn't be happier and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Grand Building.

I engaged Grand Building on a Design/Permit/Build basis in December of 2020, recognizing the lead time requirement to obtain the necessary approvals.

A preliminary budget was established with an 'opt-out' agreement after permits were issued, should the project not proceed for any reason. The costs of engineering and permit issue, and a nominal fee for Grand Building, was agreed to for this 'preconstruction' phase.

Using my own design concept, Grand Building engaged an Architect and Engineer to complete the required permit drawings. When the permit was issued and final design details were established, a final budget was agreed to and a contact was signed. Grand Building was extremely upfront and forthcoming in all negotiations of cost and construction management approach.

The project commenced in June of this year, and, with the challenges of material and labor supply, and the extraordinary challenge of a very unique project (see photos), was completed in late August.

I am a retired construction professional, having spent more than 40 years
in the business at all levels, from working with tools to executive level with a major GTA contractor. It was important for me to build trust with a potential contactor for a life changing project for my wife, myself, friends and family. From initial meetings with Adam and Alex, my wife and I were extremely confident in their approach, integrity and family oriented history.

They did NOT disappoint! The trades that Adam promoted to our project were exactly what was required. Dealing with massive wood structural elements and the detail required in finishing the masonry and finished carpentry, electrical, etc., was very demanding and accomplished in a high quality and very courteous and respectful manner, qualities that exemplify Grand Building's mission.

We have recommended Grand Building to our family and neighbors, and have absolutely no hesitation in recommending them for any challenging project.

Two Thumbs up!!

The father and son duo of Alex and Adam are superb to work with. They are professional and on top of everything. The project came in better than our expectation, and the trades that Alex and Adam brought in are one of the best that we've worked with. The carpenter, electrician, masonry, and exterior finishing teams were all very pleasant to work with.

Our old garage is now breathing a new life that will last for lifetimes. The before and after photos speak for themselves.
