Review from Good Times Review left on 9 Feb 2021Rating: 5 out of 5We hired Sosna to renovate our kitchen, bathrooms and to remove structural walls, paint, new electrical outlets and fixtures, and plumbing , remove popcorn ceilings etc. They are a class act from start to finish. Their designer Olga is extremely talented and a pleasure to deal with. They protect your property from the renovation process as if it is their own putting up plastic walls and runners to limit the impact of the work on other parts of your home. The staff including Andrei Leo Jacob and the others not only know how to do their job great but are great people. Minor corrections are attended by the next business day. The job is done right by a contractor who always shows up and the work product is magazine/ showroom quality. We will miss them like family/friends being in our home during the process.Review from Tom Rogers Tom Rogers
Review left on 27 Jan 2021Rating: 5 out of 5Shower stall issue
Part of the protective seal on the new shower door had come away. Not an urgent issue, but I called the owner of the company who did the original renovation over a year before. Got a call right away from his installer, who arranged - in these difficult times (very busy for contractors too) - to do the repair at his earliest convenience. He went out of his way (geographically) to do a 15 minute job. Although the issue came to light outside of the warranty period, the work was gratis. Great people make a great company...and it starts at the top.Answer from pro:
Hi Tom, thank you for your kind words!

Review left on 9 Nov 2020Rating: 5 out of 5Mysterious Leak
Once again Andrei and his SOSNA crew improved our house and our lives. They have created new rooms for us in the past, this time they repaired some faulty original construction, that has caused leaks in our kitchen ceiling over the past 25 years. The obvious cause of a water stained kitchen ceiling would be a leak from outside. We have had our extended kitchen roof repaired three or four times - but every few years the water stains were back. Andrei’s keen eye suspected a different problem. First he had us hire a heat-escaping engineer/photographer who confirmed Andrei’s suspicion. The original builder had not insulated the metal beam that supported the second floor where our kitchen extension roof ends. This allowed the beam to get very cold in bad winters and cause condensation to drip onto our kitchen ceiling. His polite and efficient crew came in one morning, covered the floor from the front door through to our kitchen and draped sheer plastic sheets along the working corridor. At night when the work was done for the day, we would lift and tape up the plastic sheets to make doorways to our kitchen cabinets and family room. The main floor looked a sultan’s tent. One thing that was up in the air was whether or not we would have to paint the kitchen ceiling where the drywall was removed to install spray-in insulation foam, or if Leo, our congenial site foreman, could match the paint to the rest of the kitchen ceiling saving us from having to paint the whole of the main floor ceiling. Leo matched it and Andrei happily lowered the estimate. How unusual for a contractor to lower costs after their work. But it is not surprising if you deal with an honest contractor like SOSNA. Andrei, to you and your crew - thank you again. We look forward to working with you on more of our home improvement projects. Jack and MarshaAnswer from pro:

I just have to write to say how pleased I am with your services, which you already know :). We have known each other for about seven years now and each and every time I have spoken or emailed about anything to anyone I have dealt with, it has always been the most pleasant of experiences. As recently as yesterday, Vitaly was here to do some small adjustments/touch ups and, of course, he's as pleasant as ever, and did a great job. Both Brian and I feel very lucky that we found you when we were looking to do our first renovation. A huge thank you to you and your team, which with your leadership, has just over and over again proven excellence.Answer from pro:
Thank you for your business and continuing support Rosalie!

It was like greeting an old friend when he came today! As I have said before, it is a pleasure dealing with your company. You stand behind your work. If there is something to be fixed, it is attended to rapidly and with care and proficiency. It makes us as customers feel we spent our money wisely when we chose your company to do our renovations.

Review left on 15 May 2020Rating: 5 out of 5Mississauga Open Concept Main Floor
We were introduced to Sonsa by a close friend, who had just finished his Toronto townhouse renovation. We had just bought a house in Mississauga that had the original floor-plan - completely separate living room, dining room, kitchen, and the smallest powder room ever built. Our designer Anna was great to work with, as she has a similar aesthetic as us, and knew how to execute the bold and modern design elements we were looking for. The most impressive and unique part of the renovation was how they reconfigured the front entry to make the power room larger. They switched the front door and the sidelight, and built the sidelight into the bathroom as a window, which almost doubled the square footage of the bathroom. We're really happy with how everything turned out, and can't wait to have them back for future projects!Answer from pro:

Review left on 9 Feb 2018Rating: 5 out of 5Bathroom Renovation
After extensive research, I hired Sosna Inc to renovate my second floor bathrooms and walk-in closet. Due to the fact that I have a very tight timeline, I need to find a company who is not only excellent in workmanship, but also with a good track record of sticking to the schedules. Now that the project has completed, I am thrilled to say that Sosna Inc delivered everything that I have expected and more! During the very first meeting with Andrei, I was impressed that he listened to our pain points and advised us to REALLY focus on what we actually need with the limited space we have. During the design phase, our designer Olga really showed her commitment and dedication to making sure we have a functional layout, and that every inch of our limited space is made to good use. This is the first time that I have ever used a designer, and the modified layout is so clever that I could never thought about that myself. This alone is already worth every penny. Olga made numerous trips to my house to discuss all the plans and finishes down to the very last details, including the color of the grout, so we know there will be no surprise as everything is on the drawing. Our project lead Victor is a gem. He is on site every day from 7:00 am. He is courteous, organized, and keeps the site clean before he leaves for the day. On rare occasion that he needed to be late, he always let me know in advance, so that I am prepared. I really appreciate it as this shows he really respect people's time. My family and I live in the house during the renovation, but we don't feel stressed, because firstly the dust is kept at minimal, secondly, we could see progress every day. Roman the project manager came to my house every Thursday morning to check on the progress and to collect my feedback. All other trades used by Sosna are all very polite and very efficient. Thanks to Sosna Inc, our family now have two beautiful bathrooms, and one roomy closet to enjoy for many years to come. Thank you Sosna Inc for making our dream come true!Answer from pro:

We were referred to Andrei and his team through a friend who had already worked with Sosna. From the first contact, Andrei was very informative and took the time to understand what we wanted to change and why. We needed to remove a non-load bearing wall to create one larger room from 2 smaller rooms, remove an existing closet, build a new custom closet, install new flooring and completely redo a full bathroom and a half bathroom. While the quote was a bit higher than the others we got, the planning process Sosna uses to stay on time and on budget, as well as their quality materials/workmanship made our decision easy. We had the pleasure of working with Olena on the design, she made multiple trips downtown to accommodate seeing us in person and talk about options. She also brought samples of materials for us to see and suggested stores for us to check out when looking for certain items. The drawings she created were really helpful and we planned things out. Once the design was complete, we were very pleased to meet and work with Viktor who was on-site on a daily basis. Viktor's work is very clean and precise, he definitely takes pride in what he does and it shows. We were away from home for much of the work but felt very comfortable leaving our place in Viktor's capable hands. We were very pleased with the results of the work, Sosna stayed on budget and actually completed the job a week early! There were no hidden costs and when we did want something extra done, the process to add a change request was very easy. As with any project, some things don't go exactly according to plan but the Sosna team helps to find good solutions and puts the customer first. We've been out of town quite a bit since the work was finished but will be taking our 'after' pictures this summer to add to this review. Thanks again to the Sosna team for their effort and great work!Answer from pro:
Thank you Dan, It was a pleasure working with you! I hope you enjoy your home and our work for years to come.

Review left on 27 Jan 2017Rating: 5 out of 5Bathrooms Renovation
We hired Sosna for two ensuite washrooms remodeling project. It involved removing some existing walls and relocating a walk-in closet. We chose Sosna for their strong technical knowledge and well-established project management process. We are very satisfied with this reno and love the project outcomes. Sosna listened every thought and requirement of us. The sample material and product pictures were brought to our home for review. This saved us many trips and lots of time. During the construction, nearby furniture and floor were well protected. Every day, the team cleaned the site before leaving. The completed job was of high quality. During the project, the team discovered an electrical safety issue left from previous reno. The existing hot tub was not protected by a GFCI breaker. They handled this situation professionally by installing an additional outside electrical box with GFCI breaker. And they didn’t charge extra for this change. Thank you so much! I am very proud to have a good contractor for our project.Answer from pro:
Jim and Helen, Thank you very much for your kind words. It was a pleasure working with you. I hope you and your family will enjoy your new bathrooms for many years to come.
