From March-October 2019, Natanael and his team from NPC did extensive renovations in our late-19th Century house in the Cabbagetown area of Toronto. Specifically, they involved the front-half of the 2nd floor (reconfiguring+updating our dressing-room & office), & the complete renovation of our 3rd floor, transforming it from a guest suite into a sunroom & our new master suite. This also included the replacement of the original narrow staircase between the 2nd & 3rd floors with a wider, more contemporary styled one. Although we had interviews & quotes from 2 other contractors for this project, we went with Natanael for 3 principal reasons: 1) We found him to be the most personable, 2) His quote was in the middle price-range, & 3) & perhaps most importantly, he had renovated our neighbours’ house several years before & they raved about Natanael & his team: their high-standards, skill level & quality of work, keeping to the expected work-completion timeline, & Natanael’s responsiveness to unexpected challenges & issues/problems. As other clients have mentioned in their reviews, Natanael also brings his keen ability to anticipate design or configuration problems, & offer more practical suggestions & adjustments to the plans of a designer or architect. Several unexpected structural issues were encountered, relating to the age of our house, but due to his extensive experience, Natanael was able to successfully address them, though this did delay the completion date by more than a month. Generally, communication from Natanael on who would be working on what, on a day-by-day or weekly basis, was very good. Any time things need clarification, Natanael was consistently timely in responding. In summary, we would highly endorse using the services of NPC Building&Renovations Ltd, & in fact have recommended Natanael to several of our good friends who’ve been searching for an excellent, high-quality, reliable & professional renovation team.
