    Wall Removal and Ceiling Replacement

    It was time to renovate the old kitchen but we also wanted to open up the walls to create a modern open floor concept to the living room and add an island. I knew the walls were load bearing and could not trust just anyone working on our home, so I looked for a reputable company with expertise and experience. I researched Aldo and their competency was evident from the photos of their previous works, so I called Alex for an assessment. Alex impressed me with his knowledge and professionalism. He not only explained in detail the scope of work required but also helped me to understand other factors of the project I hadn't considered such as he state of the ceiling afterwards and electrical work required. He conceptualized the project from start to end down to the minute details with too many to lists. Alex dedicated to our project from start to finish. He handled all communications with the city to secure our permit and kept us informed throughout the entire process. He kept his attention to every details to ensure the highest quality of workmanship and the results were more than satisfying. We are thrilled to see our new main floor with a gorgeous brand new ceiling, and modern puck lights. It literally feels like a new house. Thank you very much Alex and to your amazing team. We strongly recommend Aldo Structural for any projects on your home.

    Load bearing wall Removal

    Alex was great to work, very professional and did a great job. There were some complexities to the job, which he worked with his engineer to figure out the most economic method to fix. He was also great at communicating with ourselves and the city.

    Answer from pro:

    Thanks Holly. It was interesting dealing with the municipality in times of Covid-19 realities. Glad to see you are all set now to finish the renovation safe and sound.

    Structural Renovation - Removal of all interior load bearing walls.

    This was a job 5 years in the making. From the moment my wife and I purchased our home, we knew that we would want to renovate our main floor to provide us with an open concept layout. The only question was... who can do the work in a safe, professional timely, cost effective manner within the parameters set by the Ontario Building Code? Enter ALDO Structural. Alex from ALDO was a pleasure to deal with from the start! He was available to meet soon after we made contact, and was able to assess our job quickly. Working with a trusted structural engineer, Alex successfully applied for a building permit with the City of Toronto and shortly thereafter commenced work. Houses of a certain age in Toronto come with all manner of issues, Alex and team were able to analyse and address each problem as it arose in a timely fashion, walking us through all of the options available to us, and identifying all steps required to re mediate in each case. From our perspective, ALDO was able to work minor miracles, especially as related to moving around enormous steel and LVL beams in a fairly tight home, though it was clear that it was all in a day's work for the team. In the end our project passed city inspection with flying colours, and we are set up for success in the balance of our renovation. We are thrilled with the quality of the work completed! We would happily recommend ALDO Structural to anybody looking to complete any size of structural renovation on their property. You are in solid hands with ALDO!

    Main level load bearing wall removal

    Prior to embarking upon this extensive project we knew we wanted to connect with someone who was extremely knowledgeable, experienced and reliable. We had a few quotes however, as soon as we met Alex, we knew we had found someone we felt confident in. He was very patient and took the time to explain everything to us in detail. He always expressed the importance of ensuring the work is done with codes and permits in mind, following all the proper protocols. He honoured his time-line with expertise. We could not be happier with our experience with Alex and the completed project. Would HIGHLY recommend!!

    Answer from pro:

    Thank you Ashely for relying on our approach, and give us the opportunity to prepare for you the structural drawings, building permit and implementation as well as 3rd party liability insurance certificate. It was a pleasure working with you as well and good luck with the rest of the project.

    Remove load bearing wall.

    Many construction projects don't go as planned, especially with some surprises hidden in a 65 year old house. Alex quickly made the necessary adjustments and he and the crew worked overtime to finish the project by the designated completion date. No complaints, no additional charges and a solid piece of work. He took the time to explain every aspect of the project and even gave some constructive advice on how to proceed with my further renovation. I am very happy with the work and highly recommend Aldo Structural. Quality work and very pleasant to deal with.

    Answer from pro:

    Thanks for the kind words. It was a pleasure working with you and it's my responsibility to make sure you'll be safe in the new structural layout.

    Structural Work

    Alex and his team did an excellent job removing two load bearing walls at out property. I've dealt with a lot of contractors and vendors both personally and professionally and very few of them can measure up to Alex. He was efficient, on time, and on point through the entire project, starting with permit acquisition. Given his careful planning, the actual work (demolition, beam post install) took less than a week. Despite the pace, Alex took the time to provide a detailed report at the end of each day and was sure to highlight and explain all of the major key considerations. Would highly recommend Alex and would definately work with him again.

    Answer from pro:

    Thanks! it was a pleasure working with you as well. please enjoy the new layout, with the maximum degree of safety!

    Removal of 2 structural walls

    We wanted to open up the space in our newly purchased home. This meant the removal of 2 load bearing walls, and the installation of beams, to go from 3 rooms to a single, open concept space. We did our research and found Aldo Structural on Home Stars. Alex from Aldo visited the site and provided expert advice. We moved forward with Aldo and were immediately impressed with Alex and his team. Aldo provided end to end service, including drawings and permit application. They were efficient, professional, and extremely knowledgeable. Alex was friendly, personable and always willing to answer any questions. Aldo Structural finished the job on time and on budget and the results are simply amazing. Everyone who sees Aldo's work, including other contractors and trades people, are simply amazed at the results and compliment Aldo's high quality work. If you need structural walls to be removed, call Aldo. I wholeheartedly recommend them. You definitely won't be disappointed.

    Answer from pro:

    thanks Peter. please enjoy the (structural) safety and strenght of your new home as well as the benefits of the easier open space interactions.
