Etobicoke Home Renovation: A Decade of Trust with Sosna Inc. Testimonial Video

[Music] my name is Joan Hamilton I’m the owner of an older home in South Etobicoke actually was built in 1922 and my building relationships with the Sosna Inc. team began almost 10 years ago when we had a flood in our basement just to give you a little bit of history first of all it was the basement that we had renovated and then we were so pleased with that that we had our upstairs we done and then a bathroom upstairs and then the main floor and the kitchen and on and on until most recently a two-story addition at the
back of the house and throughout all these renovations that have happened over the last 10 years and mostly in the last couple years I have to say that the Sosna Inc team not just a contractor you can count on but really a contractor you can trust and I’d say that about each and every one of them on the team I particularly mentioned the designer Olga who has had amazing ideas and has given me great advice the same way the workmanship of each of the team members has been truly phenomenal as we went through so much from as I say flood to
renovating a kitchen one of the most difficult pieces to a two-story addition it’s all been wonderful in each and every time I can only say that this is truly a company and a team that you can count on there are always times when there are surprises in renovation and I mean it was grateful that Andrei and his team would give me a scope and sequence of the projects that was very detailed and he’d try and anticipate well there might be a problem with this sanding of this floor you know it is rather old who
might have to replace it in which case maybe cost you more but in every case I’d have to say he kept to his timeline he kept to the scope and sequence there if there were surprises they were taken care of and if there were any kind of deficiencies that I was on how be about each and every one of those smallest details was taken care of without any hesitation that I would say from your basement to the the top of your house this is a company a contractor that you can truly not just count on but you can trust they not just
do good work but they actually walk the talk and you can count on that

Joan Hamilton, the owner of a 1922 home in South Etobicoke, has entrusted Sosna with multiple renovation projects over the past decade. What began with a basement renovation following a flood has evolved into a long-term relationship, with Sosna handling everything from an upstairs remodel to a two-story addition at the back of the house. Joan’s confidence in our team grew with each project, as we consistently delivered not only high-quality workmanship but also the reliability and trustworthiness she sought in a contractor.

Expertise and Attention to Detail

Throughout the various projects, Sosna demonstrated expertise in handling both the expected and the unexpected challenges of renovating an older home. Designer Olga was instrumental in bringing fresh ideas and sound advice to each phase, ensuring that the renovations met Joan’s vision while maintaining the character of the historic home. The careful planning and anticipation of potential issues, like the sanding of old floors, allowed us to address surprises efficiently without disrupting the overall timeline or budget.

From the initial scope and sequence provided by Andrei to the meticulous attention to even the smallest details, every aspect of the renovations was handled with professionalism and care.

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.
