Custom Home Services in Barrie, ON

“We worked with Kaegan on the addition of a year round sunroom for our home. He was very knowledeable and using my sketches drew up working plans to help us navigate the complexities of the building code, and produced a great design with which to obtain building quotes etc. He helped us realize the vision we had for our home and we would definitely recommend hiring him! Our next project may be a kitchen reno including the removal of a wall. Rick Crouch and Sandy Raymer”

“July 2016 Our house is now several years complete. As I walk thorugh the house, I'm grateful that Phil was able to work with us. It's amazing how the little touches that he suggested throughout the house enhances our living experience. Instead of using the main hallway, the kids love the passage way to each other's bedrooms. The kitchen you designed for us is practical, spacious, and loved! Really looking forward to working with you again on another project. If you are looking for someone who will put your vision on paper, I HIHGLY recommend Phil and his team. Update January 26,2013 We are now about 5-6 months into the actual construction. It has been interesting to see Phil's design take shape. We have made very few adjustments to the actual design. In our numerous discussions of how to place the house, Phil has done a great job. We will have incredible amounts of sunlight flowing through the main living areas of the house during the day-ESPECIALLY during the winter months. At night, the bedrooms will be nicely sheltered by the winds that at times blow very briskly across the property. Great Job! These are the fine details that Phil was able to capture for us, which we didn't even think about. I know that Phil had told us about the ceiling details during the design stage and for a non artistic person it was difficult for me to envision. Having seen it framed and how it fits with the arches through the hallway, and how at the end of the hallway, it is framed by a window that offers an incredible view, I have to say- I am truly impressed by Phil's attention to details. Thnx Phil! We worked with Phil recently. Phil was able to effectively listen to our needs/wishes and put our ideas into a design that we are very happy with. In terms of time, Phil and Matt were readily available for help and advice, often outside of "normal" work hours. They were willing to help in providing us with information about other trades that will help us achieve our goals. We have also shown the design to several builders for planning and logistics purposes and the general feedback has been that the design is coherent and well thought out. We will certainly call on Phil and Mat to do future work. It was a fabulous work relationship and I would highly recommend them to my friends and family. Thanks Guys! Note: If I could give a 4.8 on Houzz, I would certainly do so but unfortunately, I can only give 4 or 5 stars. They are not perfect, but pretty darn close.”

“Our Garden suite looks amazing, Justin's Studio was easy to deal with, professional and informative. We are onto our second project with him and his team!”

“We hired Sketch Design Build to design our home. We were very satisfied with the firm's work. The plan were well thought out and they delivered on their timelines. Matt's customer service was also top notch. We highly recommend this firm!”

“I recently worked on a design build project with Marco. The exterior and interior design layouts he came up with were great. I was very happy that he achieved maximum functionality, a layout that flows and overall beautiful exterior design. All without the need to go to committee of adjustment. This shortened our build time and saved us money. Definitely will work with him on future projects.”

“We engaged Lindy Consulting to provide some plans to renovate the 3rd floor of our house which was an unused portion of our house which contained two bedrooms and which we were using as additional storage space. Our plan was to move our master bedroom to this space and add a full washroom. We met with Steven and Annette to discuss our ideas and how we envisaged the space and our estimated budget. They came back to us the following week with some preliminary sketches that impressed us. We then gave them the mandate to prepare full drawings and once approved by us, they managed the project from completing the drawings, getting them approved, and seeing the project through to completion. We were quite hands-on in the decision making but they truly took ownership of the project and had our best interests in mind throughout. Although we ended up spending more than we budgeted (which was as a result of our decision to upgrade bathroom appliances, flooring etc.), we are really pleased with the final result.”

“I have worked on a few projects with Cassie at Bird Architecture. She is great to work with and creative to finding different ways to overcome design challenges on the projects we've done. She is always there to the end to make sure the project gets completed.”

“We were looking for a company that could provide superior design and building permit drawings quickly, accurately and competitively. We requested quotes from many companies, but Memar was the only company that matched all three of our criteria (Reasonable rates, quick turn around, professional knowledge). All in all we were very, very happy with the product and the service. Our permits were acquired without problems and they helped us along the way during interior design and constrcution. Thanks!”

“Jon Goulding produces exceptional designs and has overseen projects for myself and my clients. He created a charming front garden for my century home in Yorkville, creatively camouflaging a gas meter and air conditioner as raised planters. Conversely, Jon has designed and overseen extensive renovations for my clients, including an 8ft deep basement excavation which added a significant gain in equity of their home. Jon is my first call for matters of design and for permit advice for my clients.”

“Bailey Designs did an excellent job on building my new home. From start to finish which took about 2.5 years to build the beautiful 6000 sq ft custom home, Bailey Designs was a pleasure to work with, very attentive and great on details. I'm very very satisfied with their service and would highly recommend them to anyone.”
