Modular Home Additions Inc.

Modular did an excellent job on our second storey addition. They were always available for all of our questions and turned what could have been a nightmare process into one that ran very smoothly and on budget. We've already recommended them to many of our friends who have commented on how much they like what has been done to our home. Thank you so much to the whole Modular Team for making this experience a positive one.

here are many reviews and recommendations for Modular, but none speak louder than a repeat customer.
Modular has completed to our satisfaction 2 major renovations over the past 5 years. Our first reno was a rear addition (main, 2nd and basement) in Lyton Park, including replacing all windows and doors. Part of their task was to seamlessly transitioning the original house with the new addition, of which they succeeded. Right down to matching and refinishing the hardwood and stuccoing the entire house. 
 
More recently we completely gutted and opened up a home in Lawrence Park, that Modular worked on in  conjunction with our desinger and architect.
We decided to go with Modular for our second major job because of three things we learned from our 1st reno.  
1. They are quick and stick to timelines
2. Their prices are very competitive (I quoted almost every aspect of the job) and
3. Most importantly, to quote my wife, Vadja is a very honourable man.

Everything is up front and costs are true as quoted. I believe it's unreasonable to expect a major reno to go smoothly from start to finish, with Modular any issues or problems that came up were addressed quickly without question.

Modular does a great job and doesn't change the price depending on the neighbourhood you live. 

I would recommend Modular to anyone.  Especially if you have tight timelines and want to stick to a budget. 

I would also advise, with any contractor you go with, to be involved every single step of the way and if you don't understand or are unsure of anything, keep asking questions until it's 100% clear.

Modular built a second storey addition on our beaches bungalow during the summer of 2009. Even though a city strike threatened to delay our project, Modular worked hard to navigate this difficulty and do everything in their power to keep our project on time. Our friends and neighbours could not believe how quickly (and how beautifully) our home was completed.

Our little bungalow was in it's original state on Monday morning and was transformed to a two storey dwelling complete with windows and shingles by Friday - this was amazing, especially considering that due to power lines and a steep, difficult property, the build was on site. We were so impressed by the huge team of workers sent out by Modular - and even better, the workers were absolutely polite and hard-working - one of my neighbours commented particularly on this. Ziggy was a wonderful leader for his team!

In terms of cost, there were no big surprised. Modular held true to the original quote and even credited us a couple of times when things cost less than predicted. We were amazed! Dmitry was totally professional and a pleasure to deal with as a property manager. He was always available by phone and responded immediately to questions and concerns. When we had a misunderstanding about the window trim (I came home and saw something different than what I had expected), Dmitry said that he wanted to "make it right for us". He has all the siding from the house removed so that the windows could be done again! This was done quickly and with no additional cost to us - we were pleasantly surprised.

In terms of the finished product, we are so thrilled. Our home is truly beautiful - it is our dream home. Modular built in so many architectural details - a huge custom window in the master, cedar shakes on the second floor and a huge covered porch. We are constantly complimented on our home by neighbours. No one can believe it is the same house as before! When I look at the house, I feel so lucky that it is mine - I never thought I could have such a beautiful home for the reasonable price we paid!

I cannot recommend Modular highly enough!!

We had a typical 2 storey house with a 1 storey double garage and a family room behind on the side. We hired Modular Homes to remove the roof from the garage and family room, and add a 700 sqft second storey addition. The house went from 1500 to 2200 sqft. The addition consisted of a 20x20 master bedroom, a 10x14 master bath and a 10x14 home office. The addition was more complicated than normal because we wanted to maintain the height of the cathedral ceiling in the family room, the addition had all steep slope cathdral ceilings and we wanted additional rigid insulation on the outside to increase the insulation value to be 50% over code etc.

My wife and I come from builder families and we were very impressed that our specialized requirements were not a problem. Modular was familiar with the products and our reasons and was very accomodating and reasonably priced.

They told us that due to our complicated design that it would take 5 days instead of the normal 3 days that they advertise. They started on schedule and were done in 5 days as they planned.

We were very impressed how personable and hardworking the crews were. Nothing seemed to be an issue.. The framing inspection had zero flaws and the inspector seemed impressed with the attention to detail and the added blocking and bracing hat was installed.

The project came in underbudget by $750.00 because the didn't have to use a second dumpster since they were able to recycle some of the old 2x6s for knee walls and bracing. They also replaced some of the existing siding and evestrough on the main part of the at no charge because it would look better and it would match better.

The site was always very clean.. Our neighbours are thrilled with how quickly and cleanly the project went up.(they tend to be very fussy) We had alot of people ask who the contractors were..

The Modular team as a whole was outstanding. They were able to provide better options to our initial design that ultimately turned out to be more functional to our family in the long run.

we were doing a 2nd storey addition and gutting the main floor as well. We chose to go with modular b/c of the ability to build off site and then put frame up relatively quickly. Unfortunately, due to a electrical hydro wire they were not able to utizlize the crane and thus had to build on site. We orginally were a little put off with this when we heard but they stressed they would have old roof off and new addition and roof up and shingled w/n about a week, which they did. The guys who worked on the exterior framing worked extremely hard to get the job done quickly but properly. They always had a lot of guys working and worked long hours.
We also had a timeline with a new baby arriving soon, so were on a bit of a deadline with the inside work. They did a great job inside as well and finished before our son was born.
The only real glitch in the whole project was when a project manager went on holidays. His replacement never came to the site to see what needed to be done but rather only communicated via email which led to quite a few misunderstandings, some improper billing and some bad feelings. This was all corrected however in the end. Overall, with the scope of the job, it was very well done. We are constantly getting compliments from people in the neighborhood on the look of the house.

The service we received from Modular was exceptional. They managed the entire process and addressed any concerns immediately and always to our satisfaction. They proved themselves to be competent, employing skilled labour at a reasonable cost. I highly recommend them.

We really wanted to take this opportunity to write to you all and express our heartfelt appreciation for all the superb work that Modular has contributed towards making our dream house a reality.

From the outset, we were so impressed with the professionalism, high standards and excellent quality of work from all of the trades with whom we have had the pleasure to meet during the course of the 2nd storey addition to our bungalow.

Furthermore, the actual time it took from demolition to livability was, in our opinion, a real speed record due mainly to the fact that Modular managed to keep a constant, well-timed battery of work crews working continuously without much downtime at all. We especially appreciated the many kindnesses and excellent advice that they had shown us throughout the entire process.
Since our knowledge and previous experience with home renovations was limited, to say the least, it was comforting to know that any concerns that we may have had were addressed with care and attention.

So, a huge thank you to Dule, Vadja, Beli, Ziggy, Dimitri, Dragana, Chale, Bogdan, Vince, Scott, Pam and Maja and everyone else at Modular who contributed in making our renovation an easy experience. We will always be grateful.

Sincerely,

Jeff & Pam

Like a lot of people we got quotes and shopped around before signing with Modular.In the beginning there was some delays with the design process and all, but this was one of those odd times where a new person just started at Modular and training was involved. Then there was the nogotiation piece with the city and yes of course..holidays.Our project did started later than predicted but once the permits were in place, I have to admit their crew was exceptional. We had to built on-site and they got the exterior up pretty much as promised. I give those guys a lot of credit because some days it was either really cold or raining or snowing, but they got the shell up as scheduled.The interior part is a bit slow but I think this relates back to getting subs coming in to do the job and working around holiday schedules..etc. I felt they did a good job in communicating price including changes from the beginning of the project. We always had our calls returned and an explaination to our questions. We are still in final phase of the project so some touch ups and issues to complete..I will keep you all posted on the overall impression..Hopefully this will be in a couple of weeks.

We had to build on-site because of wires and space, and within 15 days, the roof was off, the new structure was on, new roof on and windows in. The upfront planning period conducted by Dmitry was outstanding - he was highly knowledgeable, well organized and patient, and knew how to sequence my decision-making effectively. The big work, led by Ziggy, was exceptional and very hard work with a huge team. I had nasty neighbours that Modular navigated with confidence, showing their experience with every kind of personality. The interior work and finishing was led by Dule, also very effective and responsive, with loads of experience. The workers were without fail all very easy to work with, polite, and took pride in their work. The end product is gorgeous - very fine work; all functioning well.
