    2 Bathrooms and a closet

    Nathaniel JR was the lead for my project which included a new powder room, second floor bathroom gut and a new closet under the stairs. Being our first major renovation with a contractor we were a little scared to give the control to someone else. We received 7 quotes and went with P&P for many reasons including: they use modern materials like spray foam insulation and Kerdi & Ditra, were priced fairly, gave a very professional quote, a professional was used for each trade and we felt very conformable with Nathaniel. I can’t say enough good things about Nathaniel and his team. They showed up at or before 8am, left late and cleaned up daily to minimize the impact on our day to day life. Nathaniel made some great suggestions for the design and kept us informed every step along the way. They finished on schedule / on budget and we are more than happy with the final outcome. We will definitely be calling Nathaniel for all our future renovations.

    hardwood flooring, stairs, banister, trim, doors, painting

    Natanael and his team did an excellent job installing new hardwood flooring, treads on the stairs, a new banister, new baseboards and new doors throughout our house. They also primed and painted all the rooms. Each job was completed by a professional and experienced specialist. Each expert took great pride in their part of our project. The jobs were well coordinated and the entire project was completed ahead of schedule. I rave about Natanael to all my friends and family that are looking for any type of home renovation. The advice we received was always professional, within our budget, and with our family’s best interests in mind. When I added small changes to the original project Natanael was flexible, understanding, and took care of every detail. Camillo painted our entire house, ceilings included. He researched the proper primer to use because our home smelled of cigarette smoke, which took care of the smell and the staining on the ceilings. Camillo was very receptive to feedback and treated my home like it was his own. He showed great pride in his work. Overall we are thrilled with the work the team completed. Their price was fair and competitive. The detailed job quote I received before the project began was referred to throughout the job, any extra requests were quoted on site. Natanael treats each home as if it is his own and his staff are truly excellent.

    Whole Home Renovation

    We hired P&P Renovations to do a complete remodel of the main floor and top floor or our home and we’re so glad that we did. They did an excellent job and we are so impressed by their craftsmanship and professionalism. From mid-June to mid-August 2012 Nataneal and his crew essentially gutted our house and redid it from top to bottom. They re-wired the electrical and replaced the plumbing throughout the entire house. They re-laid the subflooring and fixed joists to ensure that the house was sound and secure. They removed walls to create an open plan on the main floor and to enlarge the bathroom and bedrooms upstairs. They installed a brand new kitchen and brand new bathroom. They constructed a new laundry area. They put in new ceilings and pot-lights. They laid hardwood throughout both levels of the house and replaced the staircase to match the new flooring. They replaced all doors including the front door and some windows. They organized for new ducting and returns to be installed throughout the house and had a new furnace and air conditioner installed. They installed all of our new appliances. They painted the entire inside of the house. Nataneal and his crew went above and beyond to see the job done to our liking and to provide assistance wherever possible. We were given expert advice at all times. Often they thought about, and would suggest things, that would make our home more beautiful or functional which we had never even considered even though this meant more work for them to do at no extra charge to us. Nataneal and his crew took their work very seriously to the point of being true perfectionists which allowed for a great deal of peace of mind on our end—something which is often rare when renovating. They were always available to discuss our ideas or to answer any questions that we had. Each and every member of the crew: the builders, electrician, plumber, HVAC installer, painter, etc., and especially Nataneal himself were engaging people who clearly took pride in their work, and were genuinely interested in providing us with quality service. We interviewed a number of contractors prior to going with P&P and we decided on P&P for several reasons. They had received excellent reviews, and were eager for us to see some of the work that they had done. In fact Nataneal invited us into his own home to see his bathrooms and kitchen to give us an idea of what could be done in our home. We were also impressed by their fair prices and their homeowner-friendly payment schedule. They set a deadline that allowed for the house to be finished promptly (even given the degree of work that needed to be done). They stuck to that deadline and never made us worry that things would run beyond the agreed upon move-in date. We did not know at the time we employed P&P, but we were delighted to discover, that Nataneal has connections with a vast array of businesses. We were able to source our hardwood floors, quartz countertops, tiling, and much more, through connections of his for prices that it would be impossible for us to have found on our own. A year from now we intend to underpin our basement and completely re-do the basement level of our house complete with a large bathroom. We will definitely be getting P&P to do this work for us, and indeed we will be getting them to do any home renovations that we require in the future. You will not regret hiring P&P to do work on your home, and we cannot recommend them highly enough.

    Basement Renovation

    I hired P&P to finish my basement after reading all of the positive reviews on HomeStars. I can honestly say these guys live up to all of the great reviews on this site. They helped us with some really great design ideas before the project started. We are extremely satisfied with the work that the team has done for us. Our project manager, Mauricio, completed the job with the highest level of professionalism and attention to detail. He communicated progress with us every day and kept us calm when he discovered our main sewer line under the basement was plugged with tree roots. He was able to replace the pipe at a very reasonable cost and get the project right back on schedule within a few days. At the end of the project, Mauricio touched up any small imperfections in the basement and cleaned up everything including the main floor where the materials were brought in every day. I highly recommend P&P, and I will be using them again. Our 2 small children love their new basement!!

Thank you very much!!, our team spent really good time in your place, thank you for your attention and kindness. See you then on the next project, Many thanks, Natanael and his crew

    Renovations throughout home, including new bathroom, pot lights, doors and trim

    We were pleased to hire P&P for the second time to make improvements throughout our house. This time, Natanael and crew, installed insulation and pot lights throughout our top floor and basement, redid a full bathroom and office,and installed new doors and trim throughout. Similar to our previous experience, we are very happy with the attention to detail P&P provides, the extra work they put into correcting found anomalies (existing bad plumbing and electrical, etc) and respecting our budget constraints. We will hire them again in the future.

    Basement Reno

    A lot easier than I expected it to be. Renovations were finished in a reasonable amount of time and I never had any problems with the men who came over to work on the reno. They were very kind, helpful and informative. All questions I had were answered and they worked within the guidelines I had given them. Found them through the homestars site and am very glad I came across them. A+ experience!

    Basement Reno

    I had my basement done by P & P back in April 2012, so this review is a little late. I was not going to submit a review for reasons I will not get into but finally decided to, so here it is. Found P&P on Homestars.com and was impressed by the favourable reviews. First met with Natanael's son and eventually signed on after meeting Natanael himself. He seemed professional and knowledgeable so I decided to take a chance and hire him. I met the subcontractor he hired for the job the same day. I realize many contractors subcontract work out but I was still not too happy about this. In the end my instincts were right. Long story (sort of) short, I had several incidences with the subcontractor and one serious one that had me so irate I called Natanael and told him I wanted the subcontractor off the job. Natanael accepted and came in to finish the reno. I explained my situation, he understood and began to work. I showed him several things I was unhappy with and left him to work. I returned not more than 1/2 hr. later to talk to Natanael and he is now upset and begins to show me his list of about 10 things he found to be below his standards and vowed to correct them. He did and then some. He went all out to try and please me and for the most part did. I was very satisfied by him and his team's effort and work. I would have given a 10/10 but my experience with the subcontractor takes away a perfect score. I would recommend P & P to anyone and in fact already have. Thanks to Natanael and his team for going above and beyond!

    Answer from pro:

    Hi T: Thank you very much for your comments, we really appreciate your review, and that you finally has decided to write your experience working with us, again I really apologize for the incidences with the subcontracted company, honestly as I told you I was very surprised because that company has worked with us for many years with good results so I was also very upset and unhappy with the results in your place and I really apologize for that, it is good for me to hear that you were happy and satisfied with the final results and with our effort and work to correct the problems. Thank you very very much for your understanding and good communication, you were very nice and kind, also we thank you for your referrals, Many thanks!!!, Natanael and his crew.

    Complete Basement Renovation

    I hired P & P Renovations to finish my basement and I couldn't be happier with my choice. From the start I was impressed with their level of professionalism. Natanael provided a detailed estimate and all pertinent documentation within a week of his visit. I decided to choose P & P based on the reviews and the estimate, which was competitive. Natanael's son Natico was in charge of the renovation and was able to direct the project smoothly from start to finish. He brought in a team of workers, each of whom specialized in a specific trade (i.e. plumbing, tiling, framing, painting, etc). Observing the progress day-to-day, it quickly became clear that each member of the team took great pride in their work. They demonstrated great skill through the high quality of their work and the attention to detail. I would consider myself a very difficult and demanding client, but Natico was able to meet all my demands. He actually went beyond what was required of him by completing work not outlined in the contract at no extra charge. I would highly recommend P & P Renovations. Thanks for the great work! Mario

    Bathroom renovations

    P&P Renovations built a bathroom from scratch for us in our basement and renovated our upstairs bathroom. I can't say enough positive things about them. First, the guys doing the work were very respectful, friendly and professional. Second, the work was done on time and within our discussed budget, despite a few inevitable surprises hiding in our 100 year-old house. And most importantly, the end result is two rooms that we love. I highly recommend this company and look forward to working with them again.

    Answer from pro:

    Thank you very much Tina for your lovely comments, it was a pleasure to work for you, I am so glad you consider P & P Renovations for your future renovation projects, that is the best reward we can get from our customers, Enjoy your beautiful bathrooms!!!, all the best, Natanael and his crew.

    Basement Renovation

    With a couple of young kids we decided to have our basement finished to give us some much needed additional space. We had contacted 8 different contractors in total and found P&P Renovations to be knowledgeable, kind and provided an accurate quote that was well detailed and fairly priced. We had a great on-site crew that did their best as to not interfere with our hectic schedules - with two kids at times I am sure we made more noise than them! They were clean, plastic was placed over the basement doorway, drop sheets were put down every day and things were left in a reasonably tidy manner. Everyone was kind and didn't mind answering any questions we had. We are very happy and pleased with the finished product; it is exactly how we had envisioned it to turn out. Thanks P&P – job well done!

    Answer from pro:

    Thank you very much for your comments!!! It was a pleasure to work for you, you are very nice persons, so kind, and we appreciate the open communication, your kids are very lovely. Enjoy your basement!!! Thank you very much, Natanael and his crew.
