M & D Buildings

M&D Buildings are a fantastic team to work with.

From the very beginning we sought to work with a contractor that would be a partner in our project. Mike from M&D was a partner. He guided us from the estimation stages with our designer of our renovation project all the way to electrical inspection completion. He was able to sort out some minor challenges along the way and always with a fair cost assessment. M&D estimates were accurate and extras were pointed out through the project that added value. But once a cost estimate was provided and agreed to, they never came back. You could rely on the estimate and the work to be done.
Mike and Andre others at M&D was always accesible via phone, text and on site when required to review, inspect and discuss changes. The quality of M&D work is very good. In fact best I have seen done in my home. From pot lights plumbing, smoothing ceilings, minor structural work, dry wall repair and install, painting, hardwood flooring, new door insulation, bathroom install, tiling, we had it all done by M&D and all very good quality. A few minor mistakes that were repaired quickly and with 0 question. I do mean minor, no one is perfect, but they fixed it fast! Service and quality is their priority and they stick to it.
M&D showed up every day to do their work. This is not a crew that starts a project and leaves you high and dry for 1-2 weeks or with 1 guy working for 5 days on his own. Not a Mikey Mouse crew! The real deal. Top notch tools, and trades.

Mike and I had a schedule agreed upon before hand and they did everything they could to stick with it. Even the occasional Saturday work to keep my family move in date on track. M&D team are all skilled tradesmen. They know what they are doing and I said before, very little to know errors, and VERY Clean. I would inspect my home project each night and I would always find one of their team members vacuuming up and cleaning up as much as they could collect. I love the fact they looked at my home as my family home and not a work site.

I check a number of quotes from other contractors and some were very expensive and some were cheaper but what sold me in dealing with Mike was his care and attention at the beginning. He pointed out things that actually ended up de-scoping work, to help us lower the risk of our project and cost. Some firms out there were willing to rip my house apart for a dollar, Mike didn’t look at the buck he could bill but our vision and plan. I knew after dealing with Mike on a first few meetings he had our interests at heart along with his business. Together we made decisions and worked though schedule changes that although minor, Mike always made sure we could make up time and we did.

My project was a complete gut of the 1st floor of my home. Everything! M&D did my flooring, gutted my kitchen, some walls were removed, installed new hardwood floors, new doors, baseboards, smoothed my ceilings, installed 36 new pot lights, prepared my kitchen for a new kitchen install (with electrical and plumbing) gutted and installed my new bathroom including tiling sanded and painted my stairs, painted ceilings, walls, did wall paper in one of my walls. They did it all. We couldn’t be happier with the outcome. I even called Mike up for a small item post project and he came by to help. No problem he said.

I tell people the best you can do for any home renovation project is 3 things:
1. Know your scope and plan, plan and plan again. The more you know what you want the less mystery on cost and schedule. Get a designer and a home engineer to inspect your place to remove doubts.
2. Get all your materials ahead of time. This is in the home owners control and prevents any delays due to missing materials (floors, doors, bathrooms etc..)
3. Pick a solid contractor, and hope for the best
Well I feel i was very lucky and hope was on my side. The reviews for M&D buildings are true. These guys are the real deal.
