29 Questions Homeowners should ask
to avoid common mistakes when selecting a renovator
You’ve spent decades building a life in Maple, and you aren’t leaving now. But your kitchen is outdated and frustrating. We design and build stress-free, custom kitchens for homeowners ready to finally create their forever space. Let’s talk.
You’ve likely heard the contractor horror stories: budgets doubling overnight, strangers tracking mud through the house, and projects dragging on for months. Homeowners in Maple choose SOSNA because they want the exact opposite. We are a dedicated design-build partner for those who crave a structured, predictable, and transparent experience.
We sit down with you to truly understand your daily hurdles. Then, we deliver a meticulous plan, a guaranteed completion date, and a fixed-price contract before a single hammer swings. We absorb the stress of the renovation, so you can simply enjoy the transformation of your home.
Your home’s rhythm has likely shifted since you first moved in. Perhaps the house is a little quieter now, or maybe you’re hosting large family gatherings instead of prepping quick school lunches. We don’t just update finishes; we rethink how your space operates. We listen to your specific frustrations and design a functional layout that effortlessly supports this new, exciting phase of your life in Maple.
Sometimes, a fresh coat of paint simply won't fix a fundamentally awkward layout. When it’s time to take your kitchen right down to the studs, the thought of the ensuing chaos can be paralyzing. We remove that burden entirely. From moving plumbing and knocking down walls to managing the final coat of paint, our team handles the entire overhaul under one roof. We handle the heavy lifting so you don't have to live in a messy, disorganized construction zone.
Bending down to rummage through a dark, unorganized corner cabinet shouldn't be part of your daily routine. We design beautiful, custom-built cabinetry tailored to exactly what you need to store, putting your essentials right at your fingertips. We pair this smart storage with layered lighting, ensuring your counters are perfectly illuminated for meal prep, reading recipes, or simply enjoying a quiet moment at the end of the day.
Walking into a massive design showroom can instantly trigger decision fatigue. There are just too many options. Our designers act as your personal guides, helping you cut through the clutter. We'll help you select elegant, low-maintenance materials like durable quartz or gorgeous granite that offer the luxurious look you want, without requiring hours of scrubbing to keep them looking pristine.
Modern kitchen technology is meant to make your life easier, not force you to memorize a complicated user manual. Whether it’s integrating whisper-quiet range hoods, touchless faucets, or intuitive lighting controls, we carefully select and install smart features that seamlessly blend into your daily routine. We handle the technical side so you can simply enjoy the convenience.
Your kitchen floor is the hardest-working surface in your home. It needs to be incredibly durable, easy to clean, and safe underfoot, yet still look stunning. We help you choose the perfect foundational materials that stand up to daily life while feeling warm and inviting. Combined with expertly placed ambient lighting, we ensure your kitchen feels like a cozy retreat from morning to night.
You want a space which feels uniquely yours, completely free from fleeting design trends that will look dated in five years. We know it can be incredibly hard to visualize how different finishes will come together. That's why our design team creates realistic 3D renderings of your future Maple kitchen. You get to virtually walk through your new space and tweak every detail until it feels perfect.
Inviting a team into your sanctuary is a big deal. You deserve a renovation partner who respects your home as much as you do. Here is what we promise:

I have just completed a total condo renovation with Sosna and am so very impressed with the whole experience and the finished product. From exceptional project management, innovative creative design, proactive problem solving, effective communication and attention to detail, Sosna delivered and exceeded my expectations. When searching for my renovation contractor, I did my homework and wanted a reliable & reputable company who would deliver my home back to me on time & on budget - Sosna delivered and, at times, overdelivered. I cannot thank Andrei & team, especially Leo, Roman, Gus, Daniel L, Daniel M, Olga & Rosie. You are all truly exceptionally talented, kind, considerate professionals that I was honoured to meet and work with. Wishing you all the best!Posted on Catherine SmithTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Working with Sosna on our home renovation (Kitchen and main floor renovation) was an incredible experience! Our designer Camila really brought our dreams to live and helped us maximize and vastly improve our space. The construction crew were unbelievably meticulous, dependable and pleasant to work with. I would whole heartedly and strongly recommend working with Sosna for any renovation that may be required in your home.Posted on Luke CarrTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We have loved our home for the last 10 years, but it was time to make some much-needed changes. The layout wasn't maximizing the space, and we found ourselves in one of those 'love it or list it' dilemmas. After researching and meeting with a few renovation companies, we chose to go ahead with Sosna. Their process resonated with us, and we felt they were trustworthy, honest, and reliable. All of that continued to be true through the process and we witnessed their strong commitment to the project and timelines. Starting with the design phase, we had weekly connects with the designers (Chantal and Daniel) that were fun and stress-free. They understood our style and we felt engaged and heard through the process. Our project was fairly big, involving a new kitchen, laundry room, master bath, and adding a new bedroom in our open-to-above great room. Roman and Vitali oversaw the construction phase, keeping us informed along the way. The house was kept tidy and very clean for a project of this size. They were very respectful of our property and the neighborhood. During construction, some minor adjustments were needed to the original plans. However, the team handled these with careful consideration and thoughtful decision-making. They were present on-site daily, often putting in extra hours to stay on track. The quality of their workmanship and attention to detail were impeccable. The results speak for themselves – we couldn't be happier. Sosna's expertise and knowledge shine through in the incredible outcome. Our home feels rejuvenated, reflecting our style and needs, perfectly!Posted on Patrick LuceroTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. After a thorough search and meetings with several general contractors, we selected Sosna for our recent main floor renovation and we had an extremely positive reno experience, right from the first introductory meeting. Care, commitment and courtesy characterized our interaction with each team member, from office staff to site crew and tradesmen and company owner. Indeed, Sosna is a general contractor you can count on to manage the whole process well and deliver great quality workmanship on time and on budget. Our project consisted in renovating the main floor and creating an open concept by removing a structural wall. We lived in the house and worked from home during the 3 months construction period. The team was very punctual and ensured disturbances were kept to a minimum, keeping us updated on what is going to happen next day and overall status. Everyone coming to the job site showed respect and care for us and for our entire property. The work area was separated with plastic walls from the rest of the house and floor protections were laid out to reduce construction debris and dust; the job site was always thoroughly cleaned at the end of the day. The designer, Olga, really understood who we are and what we want to achieve, putting together the design and documenting every detail. We loved that she gave us her honest opinion on our wants, and that she balanced our budget with the quality of selected materials. Her design made every inch of our kitchen beautiful and most importantly, very functional! Gus (site lead) and Davit (site supervisor) were the best you could ask for: skillful, meticulous, finding creative solutions and finishing the smallest details to perfection. They closely worked with every assigned crew member and trade person to ensure the level of workmanship and attention to detail was kept at the highest level. Gus was happy to share with us better ways to maintain our house and the newly introduced finishes. We became so close and appreciated his experience so much that he was the first to call, one late Friday evening, about a heater pipe burst, not related to the reno. Gus answered our call and kindly walked us though the temporary mending process, then arranged for the additional work to be done by the plumber ASAP. We saw first-hand the care and pride he put in his work, and the patience with us; we will be forever thankful. Roman (project manager) visited the site often and intervened as needed to ensure the few issues that came up during construction were quickly resolved to our satisfaction. Even though we were in the final days of detailing when we mentioned we weren't 100% in love with the way the mudroom sink looked, Roman and Gus discussed an alternate solution and moved the sink (less than 1”!) and redid the back wall. It looks perfect! We’ve been enjoying our “new” 80s house for little over 2 months and we love it each day more and more. We highly recommend Sosna to anyone who might want to remodel their home.Posted on Simona Duka-KispalTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The team at Sosna transformed our house with skill and efficiency. They really took time to understand our needs and are very attentive to details. Although the price is above market average, the services and quality of work worth every penny. As busy working professionals, we only made occasional visit to the contraction site. The team was always on schedule and actively communicated with us during the construction. The outcome is amazing. Special thanks to Chantal, Daniel, Leo and Gus, they truly make this a smooth experience.Posted on J CaiTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We just want to add to our first review from 2019.@Johnny Cai It has been over 4 years since our renovation! We were so happy with it then and are still loving it now. It was a great experience working with Sonsa. We recently had an issue with our kitchen sink. We reach out to Andrei and within 24 hours someone was at our house to fix it. The level of service is above and beyond. The commitment to their customers is outstanding. We recommend Sosna to all our friends and family! Thank you Tracey & JohnPosted on tracey caivanoTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. In 2022, my wife and I decided to finally take the plug and totally renovate our home. Sosna was the fourth company we met with and I can honestly say "save the best for last", is referring to Adrei and his amazing team. To this day my wife and I couldn't be happier with the transformation of our home, and with the relationship we gained with Andrei and his team. Everyone who walked into our home during the renovation were professional and very respectful of our home. We would like to especially thank, Chantal (Designer), Loe ( project manager) and Sergiy (supervisor) you guys truly made the renovation a wonderful experience. Andrei thank you again, and your wonderful team.Posted on Perry ChristopoulosTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I wish to say first that I rarely give anyone a 5 star rating. In this case we have used Sosna Inc. to design and renovate our master bedroom bathroom; and ended up with a perfect result. Not only is it beautiful to look at; but cost stayed within budget. I also want to add that the individuals who worked on the project were easy to talk to. They responded well if you asked them to something different/extra. It was magical how they left for the day, and made sure that everything was cleaned up (as if no one had worked there. I can assure you that on any future projects, I will gladly use Sosna again.Posted on Marv WainbergTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Sosna renovated my kitchen and bathrooms a few years ago and my experience was the best. I recommended a friend who also decided to hire them for the renovations in their house. Not only Sosna gave me a voucher for the Keg but they also gave me a handyman for the day. Boris came and helped me fix a lot of things around the house. Boris is the best handyman ever. Once you hire Sosna services you become part of their family. Thank you Sosna for making me a happy customer and member of your family!Posted on Paulina RoitmanTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. 6 years later and our renovation still looks awesome! I've referred multiple friends to speak with Andrei and his team and feel confident in the Sosna team to deliver the highest quality. If we had to do it again, we'd sign up with Sosna in a heartbeat. Keep it up!Posted on B P
