Etobicoke Kitchen and Main Floor Remodel: A Satisfied Client Testimonial Video

I would probably tell you just to hire Sosna and to trust me but you would probably wonder why uh we met with a couple of contractors and we decided to go with Sosna because Andrei was very detail-oriented and punctual and you can tell that he really cared and ran his company like a corporation he basically told you or gave you an idea what you can expect and the timelines and we really liked that because most of the contractors were just come in you would tell them what you would like to have done and then they would give you a
quote but you really didn’t have an idea of what this entailed like what were you paying for and with Andrei he really gave you like a detailed outline of what you were paying for what the budget covered and you also have a design included as well which is a bonus which is really helpful because a lot of consumers would really have an idea of what we like we have no idea how to put together so all that was our design on this project and she created a beautiful space for us she was able to marry my style with my
husband’s style and she created this beautiful space again they were on time they said they were gonna be done in eight weeks and they were done in eight weeks and I think the longest part was probably picking out the stuff that we wanted because we weren’t sure and you’re second-guessing yourself and Olga really helped and guided in terms of helping you pick out colors and what went with it as she brought samples over so it was a very pleasant experience for us and every time we came home our house
was clean they worked from 7 to 3:30 so you actually had your house to yourself in the evenings and uh there was a lot of communication if they needed someone to come in later they would ask if it was okay uh so we really liked that they just didn’t have guys showing up if we weren’t expecting them so we’re really happy with Sosna we’re definitely gonna hire them to do our basement so yeah I hope you choose Sosna cuz we’re actually quite happy with them and this is so you get thank you [Music]

Unparalleled Attention to Detail

Sosna stands out in the crowded field of home renovation contractors. The client chose Sosna because of Andrei’s detail-oriented approach and corporate-level organization. Unlike other contractors who simply provided quotes, Andrei offered a comprehensive outline of the project, including timelines and a detailed breakdown of the budget. This level of transparency gave the client a clear understanding of what they were paying for and what to expect throughout the renovation process.

Expert Design Integration

One of the key benefits highlighted was the inclusion of design services. Olga, the designer, skillfully merged the styles of both homeowners to create a beautiful, cohesive space. Her expertise was particularly valuable in guiding the clients through the selection process, bringing samples and helping with color choices. This collaborative approach ensured that the final result not only met but exceeded the clients’ expectations.

Professional Execution and Communication

Sosna’s professionalism shone through in their execution of the project. They completed the renovation within the promised 8-week timeframe, maintaining a clean work environment throughout. The team worked from 7 AM to 3:30 PM, allowing the homeowners to enjoy their evenings in peace. Communication was a priority, with the team always seeking permission before scheduling any unexpected visits. This considerate approach, combined with their efficiency and quality work, left the clients so satisfied that they plan to hire Sosna for future projects, including their basement renovation.

Your renovation journey should be exciting, not stressful. Thanks to our detailed planning and skilled tradespeople, there are no surprises at the end—just pure joy. Our clients are often overwhelmed with happiness during the final walkthrough, and we’ve even witnessed a few happy tears! Many tell us they actually enjoyed the renovation process and will miss our team! 

Even after your renovation is complete, our commitment to your satisfaction continues. We offer a 2-year warranty on all our work and take it very seriously. Every non-urgent warranty request is addressed within two business days. This ensures that any issues are resolved quickly and efficiently so you can continue to enjoy your beautiful new space without a worry in the world.

Our clients often return to us for future projects because they know we’re there for them long after the job is done. We love hearing from them, even if it’s just for a minor repair—it’s a chance to show you how much we care. 

We aim to “wow” you with our service so you’ll confidently recommend us to your friends, family, and colleagues.

We understand how hard it can be to find reliable help for small jobs, so we go the extra mile for our clients. While we don’t offer these services to the general public, we’ll gladly help you with anything your home needs, even after the warranty expires—whether it’s mounting a picture or fixing a leaky faucet. 

Our goal is for you to enjoy the process, love the result, and have complete peace of mind knowing we’re just a phone call away.

Five years after we remodeled her Thornhill home, one of our wonderful clients told us, “Every day, I come home from work, and I can’t believe this is my house!”  That’s the feeling we strive for with every project.

We want you to feel that same joy and pride in your home now and for years to come.

Quote

Estimating renovation projects inherently involves some guesswork, but we take steps to minimize it as much as possible. Here’s how:

Crystal-clear Design Drawings: Our meticulous drawings go beyond basic sketches and floor plans. They include precise measurements, elevations, sections, and details with specifications for materials and finishes and clear layouts for plumbing, electrical, and mechanical systems. This level of detail allows us to calculate material quantities and labor hours more accurately.

Upfront Material & Fixture Selection: We work with you to select all materials and fixtures – tiles, flooring, cabinets, countertops, accessories down to the door knobs on your cabinetry – before finalizing the quote. This eliminates the need to estimate costs based on allowances, reducing the potential for surprises later.

Thorough Inspections: Before finalizing the quote, we thoroughly inspect your home’s structure, plumbing and HVAC systems, and electrical wiring. This uncovers potential unseen issues that could impact the project scope, cost, and design. By identifying these issues upfront, we can factor them into the quote, avoiding unexpected cost overruns during construction.

Only after we complete all the above-mentioned steps do we provide a fixed-price quote that we guarantee will not change during construction.

Design

It all starts with a simple, no-pressure conversation – a phone call or Zoom chat. We believe in finding the right fit for both of us. Not every project or homeowner is the right fit for every contractor, and not every house is feasible to renovate. We want to quickly understand your vision, budget, and priorities, and see if we can add value to your project. If not, we’ll happily refer you to a company that might be a better match. If it seems like a good fit, we’ll schedule a free in-home consultation to discuss your project in more detail. This is our opportunity to exchange ideas, share our expertise, and offer honest advice on how best to bring your vision to life.

Consult

As the saying goes, “An hour of planning can save you 10 hours of doing.”  We take this philosophy to heart at Sosna. Our designers and construction experts collaborate and work closely with you to create highly detailed plans and renderings, leaving no detail to chance.  We meticulously consider every element of your project, from layout and materials to lighting and fixtures. 

Our designers educate you on the pros and cons of every element or fixture, helping you make the right decisions.

This upfront investment in planning ensures a smooth and seamless renovation experience, free of surprises and last-minute changes.
