Sosna Creates a Dream Kitchen: Turning Forever Home into Functional Haven Testimonial Video

[Music] hi we’ve been uh living in this house for about 10 years uh i think almost from probably Tony you would agree i think from the moment we walked in here we knew this was going to be our forever home and it was great but we live here with our two sons and two dogs as our son started getting older and bigger we started to feel like our kitchen especially in particular was small felt like it was getting smaller i know the walls didn’t move but it was it felt smaller we couldn’t open our kit our um
fridge all the way so we decided you know what it was time to do uh renovation to see if we could open up the space we called around uh talked to a number of different companies but i think we have to say that from the moment we connected with uh the people at Sosna they were amazing called us back right away i think dealing with Andrei when he first arrived here to talk to us was a different experience he took the time to explain things took the time to to talk about you know what he thought the cost would be what he thought the whole
project would cost and about his process he took the time to instill in us that there was a process that we would follow so we would be informed the entire time there wouldn’t be a time when we would be wondering what’s happening and that’s really what happened throughout the entire process we knew where we were within the process which was super important for us and i think also i would probably add we lived here during the renovation and i’d have to say you know we came here every evening and the house was clean they
vacuumed every day they cordoned off the section of the house that wasn’t being renovated so we were able to actually come home at the end of the day and live our lives so i think the disturbance to us and our family was minimal and i think we really appreciated that and really importantly for us too was the schedule like tony mentioned and the time so they told us it was going to take a certain amount of time and honestly it took right to that day it was perfect they were out of here on the final day we had our house back it was
clean and Camila worked well with us i mean the design that she came up with was not actually what we had first envisioned for the place for the for the space she came up with a much better design looking at the space and how we would actually use the space which to me showed a certain vision of not just construction but of how people live which was extremely important to us because our lifestyle now is actually better than we even imagined it would be oh absolutely yeah 100 we actually use the space the way it was envisioned on the
paper and i know you know sometimes people do renovations and you end up with a certain space but you don’t use it in that way or it just doesn’t work perfectly for your family but i think for us um you know we use our peninsula the way it was envisioned we’ve got a dining room table still and you know tony has his little baking center so for us it was really i think just like tony said just pretty much life-changing for us so and we’re really happy with the way things turned out it was really a fantastic experience for
us it was our first time doing a big reno this size and we would definitely um work with Sosna again and um are planning to in fact so for our second floor so we look forward to that in the future thank you to the entire Sosna team it was a great experience and we look forward to working with you again in the future thanks so much you

Renovate

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.
