Main floor Reno in East York

Dule, Dan and their team completely gutted my entire main floor and opened up and modernized the layout, added a great new walk out to back and new windows. They were fast, very skilled and knowledgeable, and most of all.....honest and fair priced. There were no surprises. They were also very clean, which is great when you’re living through a renovation.

Very happy with the result. 100% I’ll use them again and would recommend to anyone.

Second floor addition to Bungalow

I used Modular to add a second floor to our bungalow. The experience was very positive. Modular offered a positive alternative to most other general contractors we spoke to:
1. They are honest and realistic - They do a good job about setting expectations.
2. Patient and no pressure - in our case, we took a long time to make decisions, and they worked with our timeline.
3. They work quickly - They are organized, and make sure the work is done as quickly as realistically.
4. Clean - They do a good job making sure the site is clean and free of clutter where and when possible.

I would not hesitate to recommend them.

Short and sweet!
Thank you very much for pointing all the right things that people are looking for when hiring the contractor for their renovations.
We are doing the best we can to explain to people what can and cannot be expected during the whole process of the renovation. At the first meeting when rough estimate is made we might "kill" a lot of expectations that were based on the wishes, magazine clippings and talk with friends. It is unfortunate but necessary to present the real figures before the project starts. If the client decide to work with our designers and architects, the final quote shouldn't deviate much from the original estimate, since the designer will know what was requested and discussed at the original meeting, hence no surprises when the job starts.
Over twenty years in construction we learned what the clients are looking for and what they do expect from us. It is easy to do the good job when you are appreciated and when you work for good people.
Thank you once again from all of us at Modular.

Great builder, amazing people.

It has been an absolute pleasure working with Modular Home Additions. We met them 2 years ago as we were looking for a contractor to do an addition on our Beaches bungalow. After many frustrating meetings, our first meeting with Modular was refreshing. They gave us ballpark numbers on the spot, no pressure, full honesty. I asked for examples of homes they had done and without blinking they handed me a list full of homes in my area.

Every step of the way they have been transparent, efficient and just an absolute pleasure to deal with. They don't cut corners and are meticulous about their work. When they did demolition they tarped my house every day and swept my driveway.

They are a no excuses organization, they expect excellent work from their employees and always made it right if we wanted changes.

Ultimately and most importantly, they are good people. We had difficulties with the city and other trades not connected to them and they came out and helped us. They didn't have to, but they did because that's the kind of people they are.

We are so happy with their work that when our neighbour decided to do the same work we told them they had to go with Modular and they did. We can't wait to watch the work start next door.

First I would like to thank you for posting such a nice review of Modular. As we mentioned in our replies to our clients so many times, transparency is one of the key ingredients in dealing with such an expensive and important thing as a renovation. Trusting the strangers with your home and hard earned money is unnerving and in order to gain the trust we have to be open and straightforward with our clients. We do not see the other way of sustaining the reputation that we build. Twenty one year of building dreams for our clients, over a thousand homes, had to teach us something. Your and many other reviews are confirming that we in fact learned to respect and appreciate our clients and the trust they invest in us.
Thank you again from all of us at Modular.

Bungalow to 3-story home

Modular built us a great home and were good to work with. Things we appreciated about working with them:
- high quality work
- realistic timelines
- clear pricing structure with minimal variances (and did everything possible at their end to minimize cost changes to us when one of their suppliers had to change)
- quick to take responsibility for and fix any error that was found
- flexibility in tweaking plans as needed (e.g. adding an inset phone charging shelf in one wall)
They have a good system and are reliable to work with. We have recommended them to friends who are considering building up.

Thank you very much for pointing out the things that are most important for all homeowners that are contemplating the renovation. Quality, realistic timelines, clear and accurate budgeting, responsibility, and reliability.
The system that Modular has developed throughout the years is derived from experience with clients and learning what are the most important things to them. It is our goal to have as many happy clients as possible.
Thank you from all of us.

Second Storey Addition

When looking for contractors to build our second storey addition, we met with a few contractors who quoted us with sky-rocket prices and very long timelines. We decided to go with Modular for 3 reasons: 1) Their cost estimates are very detailed and transparent, 2) their timeline durations were reasonable with 4-6 months in construction in addition to the whole permit process and 3) our family could continue to live in the home during renovation, which was very important for us.

From the beginning, we worked with Bole who provided us a detailed cost estimate for each phase of work. I appreciated how they broke down their work into phases and explained each line item to me. I can't say enough about this process because no other contractor we dealt with, was this transparent about everything. This really helped us with the decision making process, because we knew were we could make adjustments when trying to stay within our budget.

Modular took care of the all the surveys, permits and inspections required. This is another reason to go with Modular because they support your project from end-to-end; no need to deal with separate architects or planners or dealing with the City.

Throughout the project, we worked with Rahele to cost out and select all our finishes. Rahele was great to work with and very patient with my endless amount of questions and she would personally walk me through all her calculations. During construction, when things would come up, which was expected given the age of our home, Modular was very open about the additional costs and Rahele would create change orders to our original contract. There were never unexpected costs or charges, because these change orders would need to be approved by us as the homeowners before that work was completed.

Our permit process began in late 2019/early 2020 and construction began in July 2020. The second storey was completed and our family was able to move into the second storey by October 2020. In only 4 months, Modular gave us a new home! Main floor renovations continued as we moved into the second floor and that was completed in another 2 months. Their original estimate of 4-6 months was correct …. When does a contractor's original estimates ever hold true?? In Modular's case, they held true to their word.

Modular has different crews for the different phases of work, so we worked closely with Beli, Dejan and Dule. The team is made up of experienced professionals and we always felt safe in their hands, knowing they would complete excellent workmanship and provide good advice. The crews were always hardworking, arriving early every day and working non-stop throughout the day. The teams were reliable and would be there when they said they would.

All of our neighbours were impressed with the speed of construction and how much we were able to accomplish in 6 months, given everything going on with COVID. We already have a couple neighbours who are getting estimates from Modular because we cannot say enough good things about the team. Thank you Modular!

Thank you very much for such a detailed and long :-) review of the whole process that we together went through. In Modular, everything is done to make the renovations as easy as possible for our clients. Different department, different people and skills, however, with the same goal. Making our clients as happy as we possibly can. It's not just because we are good people (and we are:-) but because we know that only than we, as a company, can sustain the status and number of projects that we need to stay in business for many years to come.
Open, fair, professional, courteous and friendly are some of the things that we believe are important in dealing with people that vested their trust in us.
Thank you again from all of us at Modular for a great review and yet again highest score for the work we done!

2nd Story Addition and Main Floor Reno

We interviewed 3 contractors for the reno, and chose Modular. 2 of the contractors threw out high level estimates without much backup to the estimates, but Modular's costing template is open book and activity based; some items are based on sq footage, some linear foot, how many pot lights, type of windows etc, it's a very detailed agreement, and as an accountant I appreciate. I would probably say that was the most important factor to making my final decision. They also have a pretty cool web portal with WBS, milestone achievements and a forum to record all our conversations (everything on paper for both parties to make sure communication is completely open, aligned and not forgotten with a phone conversation or a bunch of emails).

We added 2/3 of our main floor footprint in the second level, adding 2 bedrooms, walk through closet and new bathroom. This required new furnace, a/c, plumbing and hvac. On the main floor we replaced the floors, the kitchen, one bathroom, and repainted the walls.

The roof demo, new 2nd story walls and roof was very quick, shingles, stucco and eaves followed shortly after. I have a shared drive way and the contractors were courteous to my neighbour. The project manager was quick to respond if anything came up, and remained professional throughout the process. The reno was mostly done the week before covid lock down, their cleaning crew came through and made the house very clean, which was nice for us to start moving our furniture back in. There were a few small follow up issues (as there always are), Modular was very good with communication through covid lock down, and everything was resolved.

I liked everyone I worked with at Modular, the workmanship was excellent and we're very happy with our new home. Thank you!

THIRD IN THREE DAYS!
It makes us ecstatic to get reviews like this, one after the other. They are reaffirming our belief that honesty, professionalism, and a sincere desire to do the best we can for our clients always pay off. Keeping the communication open, laying down all the information necessary for clients to see in order to understand the process is something that will keep us in the business for years to come.

Sincere Thank you

2nd floor and side addition!

We are thrilled with our amazing house renovated by Modular that looks and feels completely new! We built a second story and small side addition onto a 50s bungalow and now have the space for everything we want. Working with Modular was a great experience. Right from the beginning, they were clear about the process that we would go through and the potential bumps along the way having to do with City permitting and what we could expect in terms of the timeline.

Despite this being a crazy time to be renovating a house, in the middle of the pandemic, Modular did everything that they could to stay on track and avoid delays. In the end, the house was done in the exact amount of time as expected!

Along the way, many of the trades people that we met all had positive things to say about Modular, and we experienced that as well. We found them to be honest and trust-worthy, always trying to make us happy at every stage of the project. The trades people were friendly, efficient, knowledgeable, and we are so happy with all of the pieces of the final product. It was so exciting to see the house come together piece by piece!

Thank you to everyone at Modular for all of your work on our house! We are so glad that we did it!!

Two high marks in two days!
It must be that we are doing something right:-)
Thank you for iterating the fact that our approach to projects is very clear from the beginning. It is imperative for us to inform our clients, from the beginning, what to expect, the process, and what issues may arise during the renovation.
Happy client, a happy outcome! It is our intention to keep it that way. Thank you for a high mark and sincere review.

Thank you from all of us in Modular

Second Story Addition & Basement Walkout

We decided to build an addition on the front of our existing backsplit home. When we originally purchased the home, we already had this idea in mind. We were doing some plumbing work for our house and used HomeStars. Since we had very good service based on the reviews, we decided to searched for a contractor to potentially help us build the addition.

Modular was one of first companies that we contacted and had a good relationship right away. What I was impressed with was that they could give me a very good overall estimate of what we would need to spend to get our addition completed. Our home was built in the 60's and you never know what you will find until you start. Well this house was unique and Modular treated our entire project this way....Undertaking such a large build would have been overwhelming if it had not been for Modular. From the initial design to the city permits to the color for the exterior, Modular was working with our family to build something that we would love for years to come. Early on in the process we had a family member pass away and Modular was very understanding in halting things for a brief while until we were ready. They also clearly outlined the entire process and we could make choices along the way to improve the design or just save some money. If you do not have the time to worry about all the little and big things that a project like this entails, then Modular is the right company for you. They treat you like family and I would love to do another build with them again!

I can not tell you the amount of strangers/neighbors that walk by the house on a daily basis and comment on how good the house looks. They can not believe the transformation......

Thank you Bole, Evelyn, Admir, Luciano (Master Construction Designer), Beli, Dmitry (RIP), Dejan and of course "The Boss" Dule! You have been great help throughout this huge process and the expertise that comes with using your company is unparalleled.

God Bless, Nat :)

Second Story Addition

Modular Homes went above and beyond our expectations building our forever home. From design to building the structure, modular was professional, quick and reliable. Even with the circumstances of the global pandemic, they always stayed on task, committed and very driven to deliver on the results. They transformed our 60s 2 bedroom home into a 5 bedroom oasis. They were extremely knowledgeable and creative tailoring our home to the needs of our growing family. Special thanks goes out to Dule, Beli, Milan, Rick, Srdjan and team for all their hard work and collaboration on making this project so successful! I would use Modular homes again and recommend them without reservation.
