    kitchen & washroom remodelling

    Hello all! Well After having multiple contracting companies give us quotes for our main floor washroom and kitchen my wife and i felt most confident in giving the contract to the Lifetime team, they took the time to give us various layouts for us to review free of charge which was like a breath of fresh air after the previous contractors required deposits for renderings. they were very pleasant, professional and knowledgeable. They were a real delight to work with we'll definitely be working with them again i would highly recommend giving A Lifetime contracting a call if you were looking to have work done to your home.

    Answer from pro:

    Thanks for the positive reviews guys. We gained friends as well as exemplary customers. Looking forward to working for you again and hoping that you will recommend us to your family and friends for their home renovation needs. It has been a pleasure getting to know you.

    Bsmt reno

    Lifetime was a very professional and efficient renovations company and was a pleasure to work with. The timeline for the reno was met with only 2 minor delay as is expected in most renovations. We were quite pleased and satisfied with their performance and wouldn't hesitate to use or recommend them again

    Washrrom Renovation

    Please check the Better Business Bureau website before engaging this contractor. They are not an accredited BBB company even though their website say they are. The owner and trades are no longer the same. Terminated our contract with them due to many issues with how long it was taking to complete a 30 Sq. Ft. powder room and substandard quality. We ended up having to pay another contractor to finish the job and fix the deficiencies they left behind. We provided most of the materials and on top of that ended up buying new vanity as they damaged this item beyond repair. Their website is misleading as most of the reviews were based on projects completed by the previous team under the former owner.

    Answer from pro:

    We had a project manager by the name Bruce who was handling their project but the project went on for too long and we fired him. When this home owner found out they were very upset. Hard to understand. They waited for weeks just to raise some kind of action from Bruce but got very upset when we took two days to organise. Every small delay became too big and their patience grew thin. Eventually they cancelled the contract. Contractors beware!

    Same Day Install - Awesome

    Lifetime has done work for us before and we were pleased with it. This time they went above and beyond. Emailed them hoping they could do an urgent job. Got back to me right away and a few hours later the installer was at our house getting the job done. Very reasonable rate and job was well done.

    Answer from pro:

    Thank you for the positive review. It is always a pleasure working for good home owners.

    BEWARE of Lifetime Contractor - Toronto

    Beware of this Toronto contractor. They feature the former owners name, awards and her position in the industry to portray credibility but the new owner has absolutely zero integrity when it comes to standing behind the faulty work they did for us. Lifetime Contractor did not even respond in a timely way when this former owner contacted them multiple times to look at and fix the significant leak in the multi-level deck that they installed. When the new owner, after months of calls from me finally agreed to come to the site, he looked at the issue, took pictures and gave his word that he would have it fixed quickly and to our satisfaction. NO one ever showed up and the work was never completed.

    Answer from pro:

    Bruce Bingham our Sales Manager visited the site more than once and arranged for Alpine Roofing to assess the cause of problem. There was only a trickle at the height of rainy season. However, we are now planning to implement the suggestions made by Alpine Rrofing. This home owner knows the previous owner personally and is very displeased that she sold her company. He knows the contact info of previous owner and we do not. We take care of our customers to the best of our ability but this incident reeks of something else. Contractors beware.

    Complete reno

    This company did my kitchen, living room, crown moulding and floors. This company performed several jobs for me in my previous home including floors, kitchen, crown mouldings, windows, roof, etc. I can't remember where I found this company but I've used them several times. Please note this company has changed ownership since I used them. I also hired used this company to do a complete gut reno on my father's house in Leslieville. This company has changed ownership since I used them so please keep that in mind. Sort of expensive, but very, very good. The same team has been working for this company for years, they must be doing something right. They are all great guys. Excellent work!

    Answer from pro:

    Hello Patricia Thank you for the positive reviews. You are right. The ownership has changed as previous owner Sandra Baldwin has retired and decided to do her things. Most of the employees are still with us and I believe our carpenters perform quality work and the owner only provides direction. If the employees are not skilled then management skill will not produce the quality workmanship. we are still committed to top quality workmanship in whatever work undertake. We shall be honoured to work for you in future.

    kitchen, bathroom and closet

    Two years ago I hired this company to do a bathroom renovation for me. I researched three companies but liked Lifetime the best. I liked them so much the first time, I hired them a second time and they did my kitchen, a pantry, two piece bathroom and a closet. This reno was expensive but well worth it. They told me each day when they were going to be there and showed up at that time. They were quick and were done when they said they would be. Very very good. They took out the floor and put a sheet down so I wouldn't fall. They really take good care of you. They cleaned up and left everything perfect. They told me 6-12 months and if anything gets a scratch on it in the bathroom to call them back and they would fix it! When my neighbour came over to see the renos, she said she wants them to do her house as well! They are excellent!!!

    Answer from pro:

    Hello Mary. Thank you for the positive reviews. Our prices are not always lowest but our quality of workmanship is second to none. In order to produce the top quality our carpenters, who have been with us for over 10 years each, have to be well looked after. We are confident of the work we do that our standard warranty for labour and material is for 24 months. We shall be honoured to work for you again in future.

    Kitchen and Bathroom Renovation

    When the time came to upgrade my home I went to the Home Show to get some referrals. After interviewing several companies I decided to go with Lifetime as they provided the most information and were prompt to respond to my questions. We used Lifetimes services to renovate my kitchen and two bathrooms. I am very pleased with the overall work. Lifetime was very professional and cleaned up every day before they left. They also made sure to abide by my buildings codes to book in advance to use the elevator and took as well as take the proper precautions for the garbage. I have rated Lifetime 10/10 and have already referred them to someone!

    Answer from pro:

    Thank you for your comments Jack. We at lifetime value our customers opinion and if these are positive it shows that we are doing our job right. Thank you for the referral.
