We would have given a 10+ rating if that was possible. We had seen Modular's work in the neighborhood and were immediately struck by the look of the homes being constructed and the speed at which the work underway was finished. Once our plans were in place detailed cost estimates were provided and aside from changes we made the budget remained as quoted. Although we were told the project would take 6 months Modular was able to substantially complete in 5 and the results were better than we could have imagined! Our thanks to everyone at Modular - Dule, Vadja, Beli, Dmitry, Dejan, Pamela (forgive us if have missed a few). A better, more responsive, service oriented group would be hard to imagine. Every individual working on our job was absolutely committed to meeting our needs and the end result speaks for itself. We would without hesitation and reservation recommend Modular to anyone considering a home renovation. We couldn't be happier! Linda and Andy

When we first met with Modular they made us feel comfortable with the huge project we were about to take on. Once we signed the contracts most of the project went according to plan. There were a couple of minor issues that caused some delay in construction but that is to be expected with such a large project. Other than the small hiccups the work they did was great, and in the few places where it wasn’t, they happily fixed it at their cost. Their financial staff were patient and understanding when it came to going through invoices piece by piece and their admin staff were very helpful when it came to me double checking with the City on certain things like tree protection (which is a City run program that they will do for free under certain conditions - call them to verify) and curb protection details. They are busy with several projects so sometimes you just have to keep on them if you haven't heard from them in a while but they do respond every time and do not just disappear or become impossible to get a hold of, once the work is done - which is what we expected when we hired them.

After hearing so many great recommendations about Modular Home, we decided to hire Modular Home to do major renovation of our split-level house which is located in Etobicoke. We are extremely happy with the company. What a great job and pleasant experience. Dule ,Beli and rest of the team are an absolute pleasure to work with; They managed the entire process. The budget estimate was very realistic. They addressed any concerns we had immediately and everything was done on time. Renovation includes following: The entire main floor, higher level with bedrooms, lower level and basement get new interior walls, new drywall, new hardwood floor, new doors, new windows, casing, new baseboards, decorative moldings, stairs, new luxury kitchen and baths, new electrical installation everywhere.... They proved themselves to be very professional, honest and competent. We would highly recommend Modular Home for any renovation work or addition. Thanks to the whole team again. Pedja

After doing some research, we decided to work with Modular on our second floor addition, due to the speed that they could complete the work. At my job, I work daily with contractors and subcontractors, and I have to say the entire Modular team were easy to work with. Our old roof was removed in 2 days, and due to rain, there was a slight delay in bringing the house up, but it was quite an event when Modular showed up on our street mid-October with all the pieces of the house, and had everything up by early afternoon. We have gotten several compliments from our neighbors on the quality and speed of the work completed. I am in particular impressed with the stone work, which completely changed the curb appeal of our house. Most of their subcontractors were top-notch, polite, and answered our questions. I believe the substantial completion of the addition wad done in about 5 weeks. Meanwhile, I have seen other home additions that have been covered in tarps for months without any visible progress. There was a slight delay in the permit procedure, which added a slight delay to our project, and also, some of their sub-contractors are kept too busy running from site to site, which again, caused some delays. However, overall we had an excellent experience with Modular and would recommend them for this type of work.

It took us a long time to make the decision to add onto our house but finally we did and chose modular to complete the structural work on our Reno. We ran into delays with some trees on our property and we had to change the plans a few times. So it took us a long time to get started and I think the company was just as frustrated as we were! That is the one area we could have used more guidance from modular but it was a complicated situation with trees and property lines. In the end, once things got going, things were on time for the build and exceeded our expectations on quality. We chose to do a lot of the finishings on our own and we really appreciated that they allowed for that. The best thing about modular was their use of basecamp and being able to have a visual of the budget all broken down. They were also very prompt at responding to issues: We had plumbing issues once we moved back in and their response time to everything was really quick. Their staff was friendly and professional and actually listened to our ideas. They allowed for the changes we made as we went along without making an issue of anything and did not charge us an arm and a leg to make our desired changes. We still have a few fine details to be completed at this point but overall we have been very pleased. Obviously, a Reno of this magnitude is stressful and there were some hard moments for everyone involved as we have a young family and had strict timelines. With a young family, two working parents and a project this large there were of course times that we were disorganized...but modular worked well with us and got us to our goal. I would recommend modular, particularly for people who like using the computer and technology in their day to day and who have busy lives as modular tries to make the process easy on clients.

I used Modular for the exterior and structural work for a complete redo of my post WW2 1.5 storey home. Modular provided the following major services: design and drawings for complete house, engineering and soil testing for project feasibility, removal of old loft floor and complete gutting of inside of rest of house, erection of new second floor, including all structural elements, installation of windows and exterior doors, roofing, whole exterior stucco and stone work plus eaves, fascia, etc, and installation of a completely new HVAC system. I used a different contractor for the rest of the work (interior framing, plumbing, electrical, finishing, etc). The cost noted above was approximately what I paid Modular and excludes the inside work done by my second GC. I really enjoyed working with Modular. Rick, the architect they used, met with me and really understood my ideas for what I wanted the house to look like on completion. There was very little revision needed to the initial plans he crafted. Modular arranged for the permits, responded to city questions on the plans and then work commenced in the spring of 2012 at the promised time. Beli was my primary project manager and I worked mainly with Dmitry on contract matters, including selection of materials, etc. Both were extremely helpful and responsive to my several requests. I was pretty hands on when it came to the project and it never appeared that this was bothersome to the guys. I found them quite good at dealing with inevitable issues that arose. Virtually all of their trades were highly professional and timely too (the stone mason was a bit slow, but his work was terrific). Pam handled billings and related items and was also a pleasure to deal with. Modular's contract management is also easy to follow and understand. They provide a detailed itemized contract and then as you make changes (as I did), easy to understand change orders were issued. Communicating is easy too with Basecamp (the project management web service they used), in addition to traditional phone and email. Work was done on time, within budget, passed all inspections by the city, and provided a good base for the next GC to come in to complete the interior work. I found them organized, punctual and easy to deal with. Overall, I am very pleased with the results. Thanks to Rick, Dmitry, Beli, Dule, Pam, and the whole crew!

I have strongly recommended this company. Their administration is efficient & helpful (they actually answer the phone in person!) & their Basecamp system is a very useful tool. Their work is professional, on time, on budget. Their suggestions were most appropriate and I was very pleased with the outcome. They were always willing of execute additional requests. Their ability to work with the client made for very positive experience. Experience counts!

I am pleased and impressed by MODULAR's service. Their contractors were professional, courteous and worked diligently based on our schedule and needs. They went above and beyond in making my wife and I happy. And I would recommend them to anyone looking for professional 'by-the-book' contractors.

We initially contracted Modular to add an in-law suite to our raised bungalow when our project came to a screeching halt. You see, we found our ideal family home after we hired Modular and purchased it over the course of a weekend so we no longer needed the addition to our home. We thought for sure we would lose the deposit that we had already paid to Modular. However Vadja and Dule were very understanding of our situation and offered to give back our full deposit since we no longer needed an addition. We were so impressed with their service, care and understanding that we asked them to act as our general contractor to renovate our new home. Dule and his team worked magic to transform the mudroom and workshop on the ground floor of our new home into an in-law suite that included a bedroom with ensuite bath, sitting area and family room with an additional 3-piece bath. The project finished on-time and on-budget! My mother-in-law loves her suite and enjoys her large bedroom with a sitting area and ensuite bath. She enjoys entertaining family in her family room where she can look outside into the backyard. Thanks Modular for making our renovation a pleasant experience that we won't forget. Thanks for making us (... and my mother-in-law) happy. We gladly recommend Modular (and their sub-contractors) without hesitation for your renovation needs.

We hired Modular Home Additions to add a second storey onto our bungalow. We first talked to Modular seven years ago but determined we needed to save more money before proceeding. When we were finally ready, we were pleased to see they were still in business and thriving. We checked not only the references they gave us but knocked on the doors of a few houses in our area that we knew were done by Modular. One homeowner who I cold-called used Modular almost a decade ago, and she even invited me in to see the work for myself. Still, I was a little reluctant about how things would go since we would be living in the basement (with a toddler in tow) during the whole construction period. Would it really be as straightforward as they claimed? I also work from home, so would have no break from the chaos. Modular didn’t disappoint. They did an amazing job of protecting our living space from dust and debris and always cleaned up afterwards. You couldn’t ask for a more dedicated, upbeat crew. Rain, snow or shine, they were at our place for 7:30 a.m. and worked hard all day. They were polite and would chat with us but not to the point of intrusiveness. Beli was our project manager and I was impressed by his meticulous attention to detail. He would show up on site every day and be able to tell us, with accuracy, what would be completed that day and in the days/weeks ahead. Dmitry is the master of organization, always making sure. We also opted to use Modular for all the interior work of the second storey and the main floor. Using Modular’s contacts for interior work (plumbers, electricians, painters, masonry work, HVAC, carpenters, etc.) will add a bit more to your cost but it also ensured the work would get done in a timely fashion. Modular also manages the entire process. So, if the electrician doesn’t show up or does shoddy work, you aren’t stuck. The onus is on Modular to find someone else. We could have hired our own sub-contractors but just didn’t have the time or desire to organize everyone. As with any construction project, issues will crop up. But Modular always worked hard to come up with solutions to satisfy us and would also offer suggestions of how we could stay on budget. Modular will set up a personal website for you so you’ll see how your project is progressing. It’s a great way for you to communicate with your project manager and other staff and have a written record of everything. I found I never had to wait more than an hour or two for a response on the site but for must-know-now concerns or questions, you could always get a hold of your PM or another member of Modular’s team by cell. Modular ranks high when it comes to delivering a completed, high-quality project on time. Hands down, these guys are the best in the business at providing a detailed quote of what things cost. The price was exactly what we thought, no surprises. If you do make changes to your plan, you fill up a change request form and it’s added to your budget. Thanks to Modular’s entire team for making our vision of our new home come true. Special thanks to Beli, Dule, Dule (carpenter), Dmitry, Pamela, Dan and Bole.
