my name is Akhil Kareem and like many other homeowners my wife and I over the last couple of years debated whether or not we wanted to move out of our existing house and into another house the bigger house as the kids were growing up or choose to renovate our existing place and after a lot of debates back and forth we decided to renovate the place the next step was then to decide who we were going to use as a contractor to renovate the place our house being our biggest investment we wanted to make sure that we selected the right partner
to renovate the house because it was a significant investment that we were going to make to renovate the house we looked at about probably five to six contractors who my wife and I met we went over there detailed proposals on how they suggested we renovate the house we did our reference checks and then we finally settled on Sosna. [Music] had the choice of picking you know whatever finishes we wanted as long as we stayed within the scope for the budget that we had outlined at the very beginning and and then the process began
once the scoping was done the finishes were selected the construction began we were given a timeline for the construction of project we decided out of convenience to move out of the house because we’re getting the entire house renovated and and throughout the process they kept us engaged we kept coming back to visit the house on a weekly basis to see the progress that was been made [Music] but Sosna kept their word as far as the timeline was concerned as far as the budget was concerned and at the end of
the day we were extremely pleased with the outcome of the renovation project you know if I had to do this all over again I wouldn’t make any any any changes I’d you know I’d both the same process once again and probably make the same decisions that we made over the over the several months that this project took and so you know we have no hesitation in recommending Sosna now as a reputable reliable contractor to work with the quality of their work speaks for itself thank you [Music]

Choosing the Right Partner for a Major Renovation

When Akhil Kareem and his wife decided to renovate their entire Richmond Hill home, it was a significant decision. After debating whether to move to a larger house or update their current one, they opted for renovation and carefully selected a contractor. They met with five to six different contractors, scrutinizing their proposals and checking references before ultimately choosing Sosna. The Kareems wanted a reliable partner for this substantial investment, and our reputation for quality and trustworthiness made us the clear choice.

A Well-Managed Process from Start to Finish

The renovation process with Sosna was well-organized and transparent. After scoping out the project and selecting the finishes, construction began on a clear timeline. The Kareems chose to move out of their home for convenience, given the scale of the renovation. Despite not being on-site daily, they were kept informed and engaged throughout the project with regular updates and weekly visits. Our team ensured that the renovation stayed within the agreed timeline and budget, fulfilling all promises made during the initial discussions.

Satisfaction and Confidence in the Final Result

Upon completion, the Kareems were extremely pleased with the results of their whole-house renovation. The project met all their expectations, and they expressed complete satisfaction with the process and outcome. Akhil noted that he would not change anything if he had to do it all over again, reaffirming the confidence he had in choosing Sosna. The Kareems now recommend Sosna without hesitation, praising the quality of work and reliability that made their renovation experience a success.

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.
