    additional room

    We went to Modular as we read about them in the newspaper. They are a bait and switch company, or were in our case. They left gaps in the contract to take advantage of, did not keep their word, their timing and played games with us from the get go. We stopped all work with them and got (some of) our money back rather than continue to deal with them. Buyer beware please.

    Answer from pro:

    We would like to thank you for your insight. As well, we would like to apologize for not meeting your expectations. Unfortunately, our initial estimates are not based on actual drawings but on the information given by the client. Once the design, driven only by customer’s wishes, has been created, the quote will be revised and will not necessarily match the initial quote given. We are surprised with your review stating that you are unhappy, even though we returned remainder of your initial nonrefundable deposit, despite the fact that by the contract we didn’t have any legal obligations to do so. However your review is going to show that we are a real company that is trying to meet our customer’s expectations, however we regret to say that it is not always possible.

    added a 2nd storey, 2 baths & 3 bedrooms

    We worked with Modular because we liked the idea that our additon would be built off site and that we could stay in our home during the renovation. From the begining we found Modular excellent to work with.If we had problems or issues they were willing to discuss and work out the kinks in a timely fashion. Even today,two years later they have sent their workmen back to deal with certain problems that have arisen. They always return phone calls in a timely fashion, and make sure to follow up afterwards.It would have been amazing if everything was just right in the 1st place, but with the large scope of our project this just wouldn't have been realistic. So the fact that they are always willing to listen and to correct mistakes speaks volumes to the kind of people and integrity that is the core of this company. We just love our larger and much improved home. Thank you Modular.

    2nd storey addition + main floor renovation

    "Our family has had a great experience with Modular Home Additions. We live in a nice Etobicoke neighbourhood, close to good schools, but with a growing family, and really couldn’t afford to move to a bigger house without leaving the area. Modular helped us plan, design and build a spacious second level and renovate our existing main floor. Modular really provides a personal approach - you get to know most of the Modular team and they are available and helpful on a regular basis. Issues will arise in any major renovation and Vadja, Dule, Dragana and the Modular team have always stayed in touch and made themselves available to solve everything with us. The best part was that the main "shell" of the house was build off-site in a factory and only took just over 3 days to assemble on-site. This saved time and was very affordable as we moved down to the basement during contruction. The whole house was basically completed between November 22 07 and now. Feel free to check it out at 17 Lloyd Manor Road, Etobicoke."

    2nd storey addition

    My husband and I had the most horrible experience with this company. The company advised us that we needed to have a feasibility study done on the soil which they charged us for in amount of $2,120.00. After we paid for the test the results came back satifactory, the company sent us an e-mail to advise that they cannot proceed with the second storey. There was no explanation given, once we called for an explanation we were told that it is because we have trees in the ward and hydro poles. This is a precaution to other home owners who can fall into the same trap. We approached the company for a refund but of course they have so decent business practice nor any sense of what decent customer service is all about as they would have advised us of these factors prior to taking our money for the feasibility test. I guess this is just another one of the many schemes that companies play by to make easy and dirty money

    As much as our clients are entitled to chose their builder, we are entitled to chose our clients

    Install addition

    Experience was good if you want to be able to live in your house during the reno. No hotel or calling on friends for a place to live. Very clean, good crew, made everything in 3 days as promised and advertised.

    2nd story addition

    This is a slick organization. They have very expensive marketing materials, and their sales staff lull you into believing your project will be completed on time, on budget and to your satisfaction. That is far from the truth. The budget estimates they provide are not realistic, and you will never be able to build for what they tell you unless you use recyled materials and low end fixtures (i.e. they told me I would be able to buy and install all fixters for 2.5 bathrooms for $5,000). Although they provide the exterior shell and indicate that you can use any contractor (i.e. theirs or one of your own) - after an exhaustive search, I discovered that I could not find a contractor that would work on Modular Home Additions. So I was forced to use a Modular contractor. He eventually abandoned the job and we were forced to find independent contractors to complete their work. You need to keep an eye on Modular. They try to take short cuts, and if there is a problem, I advise you to hire an independent inspector. The owners use bullying tactics to back you into their solution. I believe we made a mistake in selecting Modular. Don't make the same mistake

    Home Additions

    The lines were terrible. Phone calls were not returned. I never knew who I was dealing with at each stage of the project. They caused damage to fixtures and my house. The project was delayed by 3 months.
