Multiple Project Renovation

Our multiple project reno with Norseman was completed about a month ago and we are beyond thrilled with the results! We hired them to completely renovate our kitchen, 2 bathrooms, build a new elevated back deck, and enclose our front porch and incorporate it into our indoor living space. The entire team of Norseman staff and trades people were fantastic from beginning to end! Always on time, always available to answer questions, respectful of our budget and high quality work. Our project manager, David, stepped in half way through our reno, as our previous PM had to leave for personal reasons. David took over seamlessly, and with such professionalism. He knew every aspect of our projects and was able to direct all the trades without interruption. He was diligent in checking on our house daily and making sure everything was running smoothly. He always answered all of our messages quickly, enthusiastically, and in detail. His many years of experience was obvious and was so appreciated! A special shout out also goes to Kevin (Vice-President), who was also at our weekly meetings. Always reassuring and kept everything on track. Our project was finished in the EXACT timeframe that was promised! We are absolutely in love with our beautiful new custom kitchen, new designer bathrooms, new elevated back deck, and new front room (previously the front porch)! Thank you David, Kevin and all of the Norseman team for making our old house into our new dream home! We give them 5 stars all the way!

Basement Reno

Working with Norseman on our basement renovation has been a pleasure. During the initial planning stages, Vanessa met with us multiple times to understand what we were looking for and made suggestions to keep the project within our budget. Once construction started, Ijeh, the project manager was our main contact. Ijeh, kept things moving along consistently and much of the project was finished ahead of schedule. We had to move out for a period of time as there was no heat or water, and Ijeh worked extremely hard to ensure the house was safe for us to move back into at the same time our rental contract was up. Ijeh provided regular updates via the Buildertrend app and phone calls. He offered solutions when unexpected challenges came up. We are very pleased with our new space, which includes a new concrete slab, new combi boiler, updated plumbing and electrical, relocated washroom, family room and fully equipped laundry area. We very much appreciate Norseman's approach of doing things right and ensuring all relevant building standards are met. We highly recommend Norseman and plan to work with them for future updates to our home.

I am so happy with my new basement and front porch! The Norseman crew dealt with a lot of challenges with my job and kept me up to date all the way through. They were able to meet all their deadlines . The basement was gutted, waterproofed, new HVAC, furnace, hotwater heater, cold storage under porch, bathroom, laundry room , utility room, bedroom plus the front porch, new bay windows and front siding. I highly recommend them .

Whole home reno

We had a great experience with our renovations and would recommend Norseman for any project. The key to the success of project was the PM they assigned, Ijeh, he kept things organized and running on time, and made sure all of the trades showed up when they were supposed to. On top of that all of the Norseman employees who came on site were professional respectful and did great work.

New Home Construction

Norseman came in to help me finish my new home construction that another contractor started. It was a complicated project but the Norseman team helped me navigate through it right to the end. Special shout out to Ijeh for ensuring I was always kept in the loop!

extension - main and second floor

Norseman was by far the nicest company we contacted for a quote. They worked very hard to stay within our budget, even when costs were uncertain due to covid. They took care of everything, drawings, city approvals and structural engineer. It only got better from there. Once the permits were issues we were assigned to a project manager (Rob)- He was amazing! We were told we would need to be out of the house for 4 months originally but he managed to have us out for only 5 weeks. He listened to every concern and fixed a lot of small things in the house as he went along - our house is 100 years old so there was a lot of little things that needed updating. Everything has been above and beyond, it was done really fast but great quality work and every worker on the site treated our house with care. Dropped by twice a day to see the work and never once was the house empty, trades were always working. He (Rob) managed to come in UNDER budget. It is a dream come true to have the extra space and bathroom and we were very lucky to find both Norseman and be assigned to such caring people throughout the process. Everyone from the architect to project manager was responsive, detailed and caring. The project manager (Rob) even listened to my kids and made sure we were home for Halloween and Christmas, it meant so much to my family. We count ourselves so lucky that we ended up with Norseman.

Home Reno

We engaged Norseman for a significant home renovation (basement and main floor kitchen and family room bump out) starting in 2021. The first phase met a number of challenges with our home that could have been more effectively managed.
Once we got Kevin (owner) involved, he quickly got us a new Project Manager (Mo) who completely changed the narrative. Things went very well after Mo took over. He is courteous, skilled and communicative. He meets deadlines and problem solves. Mo was the MVP of our renovation! Kevin also stayed involved, having weekly meetings with us and Mo which were very helpful.
We are very happy with the results and quality of the reno.

Basement Renovation

We hired Norseman to do a full gut-reno of our basement including electrical upgrade, heat pump installation and 2 gas fireplaces. We had previously used them for a smaller basement renovation at our last house and we were happy with their service so we hired them again without hesitation. Both times we had Greg as project manager.

Overall, we were very happy with the work which was done. We lived in the house during the renovation. The workers were professional and respectful to our family. Greg was on site daily and quick to respond to e-mails when not around. In the end we got an excellent new basement which we will love for years.

Our only complaint was timing. The project took much longer to complete then we were told. This is likely in part due to COVID, but better communication about the delays would have been appreciated. Delays aside, the job was completed to our satisfaction and right on budget. Would use again.

Elinor Renovation

We hired Norseman to design and manage a full renovation and rear addition and could not be happier with the result. Doing a renovation throughout COVID presented many challenges (supply chain, delays in permitting etc.), but I can honestly say Norseman was not one of them. They met with us weekly to review the project and every other day we would receive photos and updates via their cloud based project management tool (builder trend). Our project manager was Rob, who was great! Rob on several occasions went above and beyond to make sure our house was taken care of. Kevin was also great and even when we ran into bumps, they came with solutions not excuses. Overall, we would definitely recommend them and likely work with them again in the future.
