full interior renovation

Found Sam through HomeStars and really glad I did. Sam and his crew did an amazing job and set the bar for contract work. Doing renovations of any kind can be stressful but Sam was on top of everything and had a crew to handle any situation. He brought great ideas, a focus on customer service and ensured his team delivered on our vision. We're super pleased with his work and couldn't be happier. I would absolutely use Amista again as they delivered on-time, on budget, and with a real focus on us being happy.

Kitchen Renovation and 2nd Floor Renovation

Sam and his crew at Amista Homes were fantastic to work with. Sam was enthusiastic about the project and is a true visionary when it comes to reconfiguring space and design to be both functional and aesthetically beautiful. We engaged in a kitchen renovation and a full gut job of our second floor while living in the basement with our two young children. Sam was diligent in working with a structural engineer and licensed professionals to get the job done safely, to code, and in a timely manner. His direct crew, designer, and sub-contractors were all a pleasure to work with. They were respectful, tidy and accommodating. We did go over our planned budget, however these were choices we made or unforeseen issues and options were communicated with us as they emerged through the demolition and re-building process. Overall, Sam demonstrated passion, pride and integrity in his management of the project, which truly reflects in the finished results. We would definitely work with Amista Homes again and would recommend this company to others who are looking to make their spaces brighter, more functional and beautiful.

Bungalow Reno

We hired Amista Homes to do a complete main floor renovation in our bungalow. The overall look and feel of our newly renovated house is warm and inviting! When people come to our home, they all comment on how beautiful it looks. Throughout the reno, Sam remained calm no matter what minor set backs he faced.

During our renovation, we had some issues with the electrical, plumbing and flooring sub-contractors.

The plumber cut through a joist, which is against code. When Sam was informed, he sent a more experienced plumber under the supervision of an engineer, to make the necessary repair.

The flooring contractor covered up a heat vent with the cover in place and we did not realize until 6 months later when we were looking at old photos. When Sam was informed, he sent the flooring contractor the next day to fix this error.

The initial plumber who did the work in our house make several careless mistakes. He dragged a new toilet across the floor and scratched new flooring. He also dripped plumbers glue and put a few small holes in our new floor.

We enjoyed working with Sam. He stands by his work and will come back to fix mistakes. However, we suggest he supervise his trades more closely to avoid careless mistakes in the future.

Whole Home Transformation!

This was my first experience with renovation and i couldnt be happier with how everything came through, and it wouldnt have been possible without Sams expertise and skills! I bought a 30+ year old 700sq 1 bedroom condo that hadnt been retouched since it was built back in the days..! The place was so outdated, dingy, musty, out of style, and justold and gross. My wish was to turn it into a palace like place! I called over 50 reno contractors in the city. And of all, Amista Homes stood out the most by far! While every other contractor replied to my inquiry over emails or by leaving a voice message on my phone, Sam was the only person to send me a message over WhatsApp. As a millennial i appreciated this so much, and made the conversation 1000 times easier! He also sent me videos and pictures of his previous work and i loved the style of work he did. Also, while others gave me an estimate of the cost without looking at my room, Sam was one of the few that said he needed to assess the room first before accurately estimating the cost, which i think is a much more professional approach. Amista Homes gets another high point for offering a personal interior designer at no added cost! I had the joy of working with a highly skilled home interior designer, Rhonda, who took me shopping around the city for floor tiles, marble countertops, backsplash, sinks, toilets, and so much more! She understood exactly the style I was going for and used her experience to guide me in making the right decisions. Every step of the way, Sam and Rhonda were extremely helpful, heavily invested in making every little wish of mine come true, and absolutely went above and beyond! As with any renovation, we encountered numerous challenges along the way mainly related to building structural limitations and supply issue, yet each and every time, Sam made the impossible possible. Working with Sam and Rhonda, you could just TELL and FEEL they wanted the best outcome for your dream renovation! Extremely hard working, humble, dedicated, caring, and professional! The end result of my room was more than what I could ever wish for! It was exactly what I wanted and MORE! I honestly couldnt be happier living in this new home that I now call my Palace! Its simply gorgeous, and full of unique personalized touches that wouldnt have been possible with another reno company. Amista Homes truly poured 100% of their skills and effort, guiding me through decisions, and always keeping me in the loop with their impeccable communication! If a good company is 10/10, Amista Homes is 1000/10! Honestly couldnt recommend enough! Thank you for literally making my impossible dreams come true!

Beaches update


We are so delighted with the work San and his team completed on our house. We completely gutted the main floor, took a wall down for an open-concept space, redid some of the upstairs, including a brand new bathroom. As well as adding a new powder room in the basement.
They turned an old, worn-down house into something that could be in a catalogue. The custom touches, the farmhouse accents and overall look are stunning.
The Amista crew is extremely hard-working and provided a lot of creativity to the project. San brought many great ideas to enhance our floor plans, especially in the kitchen and the bathroom. He was always looking for ways to maximize the space.
Downstairs, we were just looking for a small powder room in the basement to give us a second bathroom the finished product is way, way beyond the expectations we had for it at projects beginning.
Our new fireplace, mantle and beam, along with a brand-new island have brought new life to what was a stagnant, out-of-date main floor.
We were so impressed with how much work they put into the project, and the care in making sure its the way we wanted it. And they finished right on time.
Our new bathroom upstairs feels like it has twice as much space as before. And a shower that San put a lot of time into making perfect.
Everyone was polite and considerate, and very helpful in answering numerous questions.
The project went way smoother than we could have imagined.
Going with Amista was the best decision we made, and are so pleased with the result!
