We've been fortunate to work with a lot of amazing people.
Here's what they had to say.
Always Informed Every Step Of The Way!
We recently worked with Norseman to build a custom multi-generational home, and we couldn't be more pleased with the experience. From start to finish, they demonstrated exceptional professionalism and expertise. Dave (our project manager), stood out as an honest, trustworthy, and highly effective communicator. His attention to detail was evident throughout the project, and he always made sure we were informed and comfortable with each step of the process. Both Dave and Kevin were incredibly organized, which helped keep the project on track and running smoothly. One of the aspects we appreciated most was how well the budget was managed. Norseman respected the financial plan we had set, and most overages were due to our own choices for upgrades. It was clear they worked hard to ensure we stayed within our desired range while still delivering a high-quality build. Building a multi-generational home came with its own set of complexities, but Norseman navigated them seamlessly. Their ability to handle inspections, permits, and all the regulatory details with expertise gave us peace of mind. Overall, our experience with Norseman was outstanding. If you're looking for a reliable, detail-oriented builder who respects your budget and communicates every step of the way, we highly recommend Norseman.
Very happy with the results, and impressed all round with Norseman!
I recently had my garage renovated by Norseman Construction. Project manager Robert was excellent to work with - friendly, professional, knowledgeable and diligent about keeping the project on schedule. All the trades Norseman brought in to work on the project were also very professional. Had a great experience during the design phase as well, working with Bryan and Shahid. Very happy with the results, and impressed all round with Norseman, thanks!
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 trend). Our project manager was Rob, who was great! Rob on several occasions went above and beyond to make sure…
Mo worked with my wife and I to take care of all the details and even completed the project ahead of time.
We worked with Norseman to complete an entire house Renovation. We went with them because they were local to our home in East York and were an established Design/Build Firm. Shahid assisted us with designing and building our new home thru all the permitting process with the city and then Mohammad took over from there. He worked with my wife and I to take care of all the details and even completed the project ahead of time. Thanks for all the work Mo.
Top 5 reasons why I’m really happy that we chose Norseman for our home renovation.
1. They completed our job 1 month ahead of schedule! No, really, they did! Who says that these days? 2. They assigned us a dedicated PM. Mohammad was always available, providing updates, and thoughtful in his decision making. I felt he treated the home with care, as if it was his own. 3. They have a fantastic Interior Designer. Ghalib got the style we were going for, and was there to recommend on the things you’d expect like paint colour, flooring and light fixtures. But he was also there for important decisions like floor transitions, tile layout, and pot light placement. 4. Various neighbours commented how friendly, and tidy the Norseman crew was. 5. They have an app that gets updated throughout the week with progress, and pictures. We could see the progress and were not left wondering what work was completed and scheduled. Highly recommend! Thanks Norseman team!
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.
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.
They Are The Pros!
Norseman are pros. Project was managed from planning, blueprints and the contract down to the full renovation of our basement and the clean up. Everything was scheduled no surprises. Photos and updates provided daily and weekly meetings to make sure everything was as we wanted. Any challenges were met with solution in a timely manner. Look no further then this team. Any reno we require in the future Norseman will be our first call.
Norseman has been a great company to work with.
They are staffed with a professional and knowledgeable team of project managers and construction specialists who were happy to assist with my home renovation. I was very pleased with their level of communication through regular weekly meetings and updates through the BuilderTrend platform. They were efficient with not only deadlines but also budgets, keeping the project on schedule while maintaining cost effectiveness. I had the pleasure of working with Ezad as my project manager. He was empathic to any issues that came up during construction and was enthusiastic to help solve them. He would promptly respond to any questions and concerns I had over email, text messages, and phone calls, including in the evenings and on the weekends. I am happy to have chosen Norseman to help me with my renovation and would highly recommend them.
From the beginning he was fantastic
We started with some minor hiccups but Kris Potts stepped in and dealt with them accordingly. We were then introduced to their architect Shahid who was absolutely phenomenal. Any time we had a question he made himself available. He was so great to work with. Our project was underpinning, new kitchen, main floor bathroom addition and new bathroom to the 2nd floor. Before our reno was about to get started we were introduced to our Project Manager - Robert Hansen. From the beginning he was fantastic. Took care of all our needs. He's very practical. Made some suggestions that we'd never even think of and even helped us come in under budget. The trades people he brought in were also great. It was like working with a friend. He was a pleasure to work with. Thank you Norseman, Shahid and Rob.
Thank you Norseman and Robert. We couldn't be happier.
We hired Norseman to extend our home on both floors. Norseman was to do the extension to drywall/rough-in, and we would do all our own finishings. The original plan was being out of our home 3-4 months, most likely home in January of 2023. Norseman and our contractor went well above and beyond accomplishing all they promised and more. When our Project Manager stepped in at the start, he understood how important it was for us to be out of the house as little as possible, and possibly be home for Christmas. HE DELIVERED. Not only were we only out of the house for 6 weeks (of the originally planned 16), we were home for Christmas. They organized and scheduled everyone on time, and when a promise was made to complete parts of work by a specific time, they were done, and done well. PS. Rob is still checking in on us, making sure our deficiencies are taken care of as planned, helping us with some tips and hints on our DIY finishings. Our house is starting to look like home again.
Easy To Work With And Very Helpful!
The Norseman team was very helpful in helping us reconfigure our small kitchen in an old house and a very deep, but not very functional closet. Essentially, the project turned into a renovation of most of the main floor. We would not have fared half as well without the support of our project manager, Mo. Even when we hit some road blocks, Mo was able to find solutions and keep things moving along. He was always in communication with us and alleviated the stress we might have felt under different conditions. Highly recommend Mo and the Norseman team.
Highly Recommend! 5/5!
We hired Norseman Construction to completely gut and renovate our house. It was the best decision we ever made! From the very start their team was dedicated to making our dream home a reality. They took care of every detail, including permits, design, and construction. Norseman’s in-house interior designer, Ghalib, was instrumental to conceptualizing our vision. His design changed the footprint and layout of the kitchen, making it much more functional. The project managers assigned to our renovation: Robert Hansen and Alison Carby, immediately put us at ease. They were professional, personable, and very knowledgeable. Robert and Alison proved to be the “dream team”! They guided us through the renovation process and made it stress free. Their dedication to our project was exemplary. Robert made sure that our vision was executed and on budget and Alison kept the project on schedule. Their construction knowledge proved to be invaluable, especially when renovating an 80 year old house. When faced with challenges, Alison was very proactive and tackled problems in a quick and timely fashion. The trades played an integral part of our renovation. Their craftsmanship and attention to detail surpassed all our expectations. The Norseman team treated our house like it was their own home. The trust we had with the Norseman team made our renovation seamless. I highly recommend Norseman. Thank you, Norseman for making our dreams come true!
What a transformation the Norseman team has achieved!
We recently wrapped up the renovation of our century old house in East York with the help of Norseman. What a transformation the Norseman team has achieved! Among many things we would give kudos to the team, it boils down to the care they dedicated to our half a mil project (which presumably is not a high profit project for the company), the transparency in the costing and the effective communications. For context, we gutted the house and added extensions in the back to create open concept living / kitchen space and turn 2 bed + 1 bath to 3 bed + 2 bath on the second floor. David Wagner, our project manager, played a pivotal role during the 7-month constructions . He coordinated the quality work from all the trades and the timeline so efficiently so that we were able to move back to the house ahead of schedule. Let alone all the change management in between, which can easily go sideways when dealing with an old house requiring custom solutions here and there plus a tight budget. Kevin Potts, the president of the company, steers the project in such meaningful ways so that we felt thoroughly engaged for decision making with all the implications explained including the cost but not overwhelmed since we don't have any previous renovation experience. Last but not least, communications have been very efficient to create mutual trust, from the drawing stage till the hanging of our new house sign. Weekly touch points, daily refreshed builder trend app, email/text and call keep us updated on the progress and problem solving (it feels amazing to be able to sleep like a baby knowing the project is in good hands you trust). Their efforts paid off with the outcome of the project above and beyond our expectations! We are a happy and satisfied client of Norseman therefore highly recommend their service and expertise if you have the need.
