    Roof

    Sandra and her team at A Lifetime Contractor were a pleasure to deal with from start to finish. They were reliable, trustworthy, understanding and professional. The job was well executed and the roofers worked for 8 hours plus a day under extreme heat to stick to the timelines presented when the job was quoted. I highly recommend their service to friends and family. They were fairly priced and kept their word. Great work Lifetime!

    Front Addition

    We have a very old house which had an unheated, enclosed porch in a dilapidated state. We engaged A. Lifetime Contractor to fix it and after discussions decided the best course of action would be to demolish the porch and rebuild, including residing the entire front façade. After many adventures wending our way through the City Hall bureaucracy, jumping through the many hoops and obstacles they put in our way, we got our permits (with no small thanks for the guidance and patience of Natalie and Antonella) and began the renovation. When dealing with a hundred year old house things are never straight forward and as demolition of the old porch moved along we discovered several major structural problems including rotten sill plates, joists and a missing supporting wall in the basement that had been removed by a previous owner. As these problems cropped up Sandra and her team came up with solutions, gave us a cost estimate and a breakdown of the work involved and, once they had the go ahead, fixed them with speed and efficiency. People in the neighbourhood would regularly comment on how impressed they were by the professionalism and dedication the whole team showed through rain and shine. A special mention goes to Scott, the site manager, who is an extremely hard working and pleasant person. He respected our home and neighbourhood, ensuring site was kept clean, safe and organized throughout the project. Although the final cost of the project was much more than we had originally planned, it was not surprising considering the amount of extra work that needed to be done and we can honestly say the house is much better for it. We continue to get compliments from the neighbours. Everyone who worked on the renovation displayed expertise and professionalism: Scott who did the lion’s share of the work; Hector who did the detail work on the floor and doors; Graz who put on the beautiful Hardie Board siding and Stefan who did the lovely tile over the heated floor.

    Interior Painting

    On two separate occasions, I have had the opportunity to experience the excellent workmanship of Lifetime Contractor. And I can now say that it was a pleasure on both occasions. From the initial appointments, all commitments and schedules were met and the work was completed in a most professional and efficient manner. Sandra Baldwin has a knowledgeable and skilled team that not only work well together, but are extremely careful, do a thorough clean-up, and assure your total satisfaction before departing. As well, Sandra is in contact regarding progress, and personally follows up. I highly recommend the services of Sandra and her team at Lifetime!

    Exterior Waterproofing

    In 2010, we realized that we would need waterproofing done to our older house (1930). As recommended, we asked for and received 3 quotations. By far, the most professional approach was by Sandra Baldwin from Lifetime Contractor. We selected her company, and that was the best move that we could have made. The time selected was the end of July. It ended up being a sweltering heat-wave, very tight quarters, and one very difficult neighbour. Sandra handled all of these trials and tribulations in a very commendable manner. I also run a business, and I was impressed with her demeanor throughout the whole job. Because of the heat and limited access, the job took a little longer than anticipated. However, her workmen were exemplary. Every night the work area was covered, so it did not look like we were living in a constuction zone. Clean, neat, considerate, very professional. For sure, if I needed any other work done, I would not even ask for other quotations, just go with Lifetime Contractor. Reputable, reliable, I would not hesitate to recommend them!

    Front Facade; window replacements

    I am delighted to recommend your work to anyone. Last summer, you took my outdated house frontage and gave it street presence and made it saleable. And it was a practical, smart and reasonable cosmetic design. It changed the house. And then there were the two emergencies, the broken stone step and the rotten deck boards, all emergencies, done in a matter of days. You can be counted on--dependable, reasonable, reliable, nice to do business with.

    Bathroom/Basement/Garden & Deck

    "Lifetime" says it all, We had the pleasure of employing the skills of Lifetime Renovations crew for several projects over the past few years, the first being our basement, where they installed a beautiful and functional bathroom, which included a wonderful heated floor. An adjoining family room was re dry walled , painted and new carpet installed, as we own an older home this was no easy task, but it looks amazing. After the great work inside we asked Lifetime back to work their magic on our garden. Not exactly sure what we had in mind for the garden, but with the help of the imaginative design team, we ended up with a fantastic red cedar deck, complete with wrought iron railing, wood and natural stone steps, a unique rock garden completed by a surrounding cobblestone wall. We had many complements from friends and neighbours on the great work and would not hesitate to recommend Lifetime Renovations to anyone who wanted something special. The Lifetime team, including office staff, were courteous, punctual, helpful and very tidy on the job site. Again they come highly recommended.

    Bathroom repair and ceiling drywalling and also retaining wall repair

    I found A. Lifetime Contractors to be very professional, helpful and trustworthy. Hector was able to fix plumbing issues that 3 repairman from other companies could not. Had I gone with A. Lifetime to begin with I think I could have saved a lot of time , money and aggravation.. I also used A. Lifetime Contractors several years tago to redo my house's retaining wall. Although the company is not the cheapest, I have always been very satisfied with the work done and the service provided.

    Kitchen Backsplash

    Nice personal touch by their employee Vaughn. He took the time to help us pick out a suitable tile explaining the pros and cons of each one. His knowledge and experience were obvious as he quickly educated us on the various products and made our decision easy. The job was finished on time and he took great pains to communicate to us the steps he took throughout to ensure that we would be happy with the final appearance. We will be using them again and will be sure to ask for Vaughn as he truly did them proud with a professional effort from start to finish.
