Basement Renovation

After a lot of research, we hired Norseman for a complete basement renovation in our home. The project took place over the bulk of the summer and beginning of fall and we could not be happier with the result. The quality of the work is top notch, with high-quality material and diligent attention to detail. The aspect that impressed us the most was our project manager Greg. He kept up frequent and thorough communication throughout the project and was very patient with us when we made changes/additions to the original scope of work. Furthermore, he provided suggestions throughout the project that we were very happy with and always went out of his way to ensure that things were done the right way. Throughout the renovation, Greg and his team were polite, punctual and left everything as clean as possible at the end of each day. We would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking to do a renovation and should the circumstances arise we would definitely use them again in the future.

Kitchen Reno

An amazing experience! Norseman surpassed my expectations. I had previous problems with other contractors not delivering on their promises. So, I was skeptical at first but Norseman delivered exemplary service and under the estimated budget. During the reno they found some problem areas when they gutted the kitchen. Norseman was so helpful in offering me inexpensive solutions to help solve the issues quickly. The whole experience left me feeling like they really cared about their clients and were proud of their work. My new kitchen looks amazing and my family loves it! I normally don't give glowing reviews but these guys earned it!

kitchen, & basement renovation

I was recommended to Norseman from a family friend for a renovation for my home by the beaches, I dealt directly with Mr. Kris Potts & he delivered on every promise throughout my renovation. I must have called him three times a day during this project & it was a pleasure dealing with him everytime. I definitely pass my recommendation to use Norseman for any of your renovation needs, thank you guys.

Basement Reno

After doing lots of research we decided on Norseman to do our basement renovation (extended bathroom, floors, and stairs). Our project manager Greg was very professional - he sent email updates through every step and also offered great design advice. Andrei did a lot of the work and he's very skilled. Everything was left as clean as possible at the end of each day and they were always available to discuss the work, changes, etc. We are planning to use Norseman again to do some renos to the upstairs and wouldn't hesitate to recommend them! So if you are willing to pay for quality work and want trustworthy people in your home, then Norseman is for you!

Main floor and front porch renovation

Our semi-detached house was built in 1913 and a 3-story detached extension was added 40 years ago, so the place was badly in need of a complete overhaul. The first company’s quote came in very high so we kept looking. A large home in the area was being renovated and it looked amazing. That’s how Keith and I found out about Norseman Construction and hired them to renovate our main floor and front porch.

We chose to live in the house during the renovation. It was a bit tricky with all the construction dust and living without a kitchen, but it was very rewarding to come home every day to see the progress, as well as the problems. Repairs and renos from previous owners had disastrous results like rotted joists in the basement from a slow leak due to nailing through the roof liner. Under the main floor wood beam ceiling was a tile ceiling and under that was a lath and plaster ceiling.

Thankfully the project manager Greg, and construction supervisor Andrei are highly skilled, hard working and know how to do things right. Really nice guys by the way, and very helpful by steering us away from bad design choices. Greg suggested we go with tile in the kitchen rather than hardwood throughout that I had asked for – I realize now what a mistake that would have been! Greg, Andrei and their team transformed our dark and dingy home into a modern, sleek and light filled space. The front porch is no longer an embarrassment and the main floor is now a wow. Our friends and family can't believe it's the same place! We could not be happier with the results and would definitely recommend Norseman Construction to others. Our only regret is that we didn’t renovate the 2nd floor at the same time!

Main floor renovation

We are very happy with Norseman!

Our main floor was a distaster. Norseman was a pleasure to work with from start to finish.

Josh, sales team, was full of helpful ideas.

Dave, PM, was great at communicating with us though our entire project.

What more can we say? We recommend
Norseman and will use them again.

Basement Renovation

The project involved a total basement renovation, including a laundry room, full bathroom, living room and built-in storage. The job started on time and came in exactly on budget. Our lead contractor, Greg, was excellent to deal with. He sent daily e-mails with updates and photographs of the job. He was quick to respond to all of our questions and concerns. All of my interactions with the company were very professional. These guys are pros.

Rear Addition

Our project involved expansion of our 2 storey detached, 2 bedroom 1 bathroom home, to a 3 bedroom, 2.5 bathroom home via a rear extension.

We provided the plans and permits to Norseman that we had completed independently, and they provided the construction from foundation to completion.

Working with Norseman was a very good experience, the two concerns that everyone undergoing a renovation project has were not an issue - Norseman came in on budget and on time.
The people that we worked with during the project were great. They were all very kind and helpful. Thomas was very helpful in preparing the contract and ensuring that we considered all points that we wanted included and omitted. From there we worked primarily with Kevin and Robert as our project managers, and they saw us through the project. They were both very professional, knowledgeable and available to address any concerns that we had regarding the project.

Going through a renovation project is inevitably stressful, however we found Norseman to have done a great job of mitigating that stress wherever possible.

There are obviously too many facets of the project to go into every detail for a review here, but we are happy with our completed home.

One concern we did have with our experience was that at times there was a slight lack of attention to detail, things that were not done as carefully or properly as we would have liked. That being said, when brought to Robert or Kevin's attention, they were generally pretty quick about rectifying it.

On the opposite end of the spectrum, Robert and Kevin and the crews were great about working with us to help our paper and ink dream become a physical reality. Specifically, there were a couple of design changes that they suggested regarding the upstairs bathroom design and the basement bathroom/laundry location that turned out to be hugely positive adjustments.

Finally, a couple of big thanks to Kevin and Kris for taking the time at the end of the project to come by for a debrief at our home. It was much appreciated. It sounds as though the company is moving forward and working to address areas where we had concerns.

Also a big thanks to the guys from the demo/framing/general construction crew. They were great - I don't want to give all of their names without permission, but they were so helpful above and beyond what they were required to do (ie helping me erect the tree protection fence, adjusting the position of a door that was located incorrectly in the plans, helping me move finishing materials inside when they were delivered to site etc).

Overall a very good experience, we give Norseman an 8.5/10.

Thank you!
