Green Maple Home Renovations

I interviewed a total of 5 contracting companies who all received excellent reviews from HomeStars for our basement renovation. I decided on Green Maple Renovations not only because of the reasonable price, but mainly because I had a good feeling about Ariel, the owner. He was the only contractor who identified that we had asbestos in our basement that needed removal. He also identified issues with finishing a cold room (my request) and risk of mold growth; whereas the other interviewed contractors did not mention. Ariel was also very responsive via email/text/phone to any questions, concerns that I had. I felt that he really had our best interest in mind and wanted to do things the right way. Ariel and his team including Andre and Alberto are so hard working, arriving every morning around 8-8:30am to get as much work done(sometimes working 10-12 hour days). They cleaned up at the end of each day and tried to minimize dust as much as possible. They even went above and beyond to fix issues in the basement which weren't included in the contract: few water pipes, creating a water trap for drain, mounting tv bracket and electric fireplace, install shelves and counter above laundry machines. His Master Electrician Laureano was just as reliable and professional and did additional electrical work in our house. The only issue I had was that some of the finishes (i.e. painting, some tiling/grouting, staining/painting of the stairs) were slightly messy. After letting them know of my concerns, Ariel did return within 2 weeks of finishing the basement (final payments were made) to fix some of those issues and I'm waiting for him to return again to touch up some painting. We are so happy with our basement and the beautiful living space created. I have already recommended Green Maple Renovations to many friends and co-workers and wouldn't hesitate to contact them again for any home renovation need.
