A Client’s Journey to Modern Living: Etobicoke Main Floor Home Renovation Testimonial Video

[Music] when we decided to get a home renovation project started uh the the design entail that we had a lot of walls in our home we had a formal living formal dining which we were not using as much and the home was not very functional so we really wanted a more open concept modern design of our home and that’s when we started looking for some contractors to come and help us with this design that’s when we met a lot of designers and construction companies and saw snatch stood out right from the start as soon as Andrei walked in
we could see the level and time commitment that he put in he put he came for a couple of hours spent and went through each and every detail of the home and what exactly is the thing that we required and what he suggested we should be doing and the level of detail right from the first meeting versus the other contractor stands out for anyone who takes a meeting with Andrei yeah so just everything came together so smoothly and quite happy with that yeah and the sixth and the best part about the design process is the six
weeks that we spend with the designer everything is sorted signed for and once the construction starts we get a binder which we can refer to and the rest of the construction process is very easy takes out all the headaches because everything is very crystal clear that binder is your language between what we want and what the the contractor will be building the other thing we we were looking for Aurora was pregnant uh six months into the project and the number two most important thing for us after the the design of the home was
obviously getting it done on time and on budget and time was by far our number one priority once the design was finalized we were absolutely amazed that the fact that they could uh finish the project in exactly the time they stayed in fact a few days earlier yeah and exactly on budget so like if there’s anything you’re looking for in a contractor it’s good quality craftsmanship deliver on time deliver on budget and they care about your project those are the four things that Sosna cares about the most
and delivers to utmost satisfaction so i think we would highly recommend Sosna very happy yeah definitely definitely recommend it [Music]

From Traditional to Modern Open Concept Design

Our clients approached Sosna with a clear vision: to transform their traditional, compartmentalized home into a modern, open-concept space. The original layout, featuring a formal living and dining room that were rarely used, no longer suited their lifestyle. After meeting with several contractors, Sosna stood out due to our detailed and personalized approach. Andrei, our owner, dedicated hours to understanding their needs and provided insightful suggestions right from the first meeting. This attention to detail set us apart from other contractors and laid the foundation for a successful project.

Smooth Design and Construction Process

The design phase was thorough yet efficient, taking six weeks to finalize every detail. Our clients were provided with a comprehensive binder that served as a roadmap for the construction process, ensuring clarity and ease as the project moved forward. With a baby on the way, time was a critical factor for the family. We committed to completing the renovation within the agreed timeline, and we delivered, even finishing a few days ahead of schedule. The project was also completed within the established budget, eliminating any financial surprises and reinforcing our commitment to transparency.

Commitment to Quality and Client Satisfaction

The clients were highly impressed with the quality of craftsmanship and the professionalism of the Sosna team. We pride ourselves on delivering projects that are not only on time and on budget but also exceed our clients’ expectations in terms of quality and care. Our dedication to these core principles earned us a glowing recommendation from the clients, who were thrilled with their new, functional, and stylish home. This project highlights Sosna’s commitment to transforming spaces with precision and care.

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.

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.
