By far the best general contractor I have ever worked

Norseman Construction is by far the best general contractor I have ever worked with. Our project manager, Mohammad, was fantastic, communicating at every stage of our major interior renovation. He was a pleasure to work with, as was Tim and his crew of skilled builders. I had an excellent experience and would not hesitate to recommend them.

What an absolute pleasure working with Norseman!

We had the pleasure of working with Norseman Construction on a major renovation project for our home, and we cannot say enough good things about their team (Dave our PM, Kevin and Kris). From start to finish, they were professional, efficient, and truly dedicated to bringing our vision to life. The attention to detail and quality of craftsmanship was evident in every aspect of the project. The team at Norseman took the time to understand exactly what we wanted, and they went above and beyond to make sure every little detail was perfect. From the design phase to the finishing touches, they were meticulous in their work, and the results speak for themselves. Not only was the craftsmanship top-notch, but the customer service we have received was exceptional. The team at Norseman was always available to answer any questions or address any concerns we had, and they made sure we were kept in the loop every step of the way. Their communication and transparency throughout the project made the entire process smooth and stress-free. In the end, the transformation of our home was beyond what we could have imagined. Norseman truly exceeded our expectations, and we are thrilled with the final result. We would highly recommend Norseman Construction to anyone looking for a reliable and skilled builder. Their passion for their work, commitment to customer satisfaction, and ability to bring visions to life make them a standout choice for any construction project. Thank you, Norseman, for making our dream home a reality.

Very happy with the final product and would use Norseman again.

We used Norseman for an interior renovation and had a positive experience. Our project manager was Mohamed and he made himself available at all hours to answer questions and make suggestions. The project was on time and Mohamed, Kevin and team were able to accommodate our timeline for moving back into our home. Overall we are very happy with the final product and would use Norseman again.

We finished the renovation with Norseman and could not be happier with the result.

We finished the renovation with Norseman and could not be happier with the result. Doing a renovation throughout COVID presented many challenges (supply chain, delays in permitting etc.), but I can honestly say Norseman was not one of them. They met with us weekly to review the project and every other day we would receive photos and updates via their cloud based project management tool (builder tr...
