Our family is incredibly grateful to MyHouse Design/Build Team for the renovations in 2023 that have transformed our home. The project included updates to our kitchen, bathroom, laundry room, family room, and the great room. They also replaced our outdated 1970s furnace with a high-efficiency gas furnace and a tankless hot water system. Additionally, they initiated necessary roof repairs, replaced the home’s drainage system, and insulated the house to make it comfortable and energy-efficient. Before we even purchased our home, Brent, our project consultant, went above and beyond to help us select the right property. He accompanied us to multiple open houses, inspecting each one to help us avoid high-risk investments. His guidance was invaluable in ensuring that we found a home that could support our renovation vision. Once we had the property, MyHouse began with a comprehensive inspection. They highlighted that the longevity of the home would depend on critical factors like structural integrity, plumbing, drainage, and roofing. To ensure every detail was addressed, they brought in experts from various trades to identify and schedule necessary repairs. Their careful planning extended to sequencing the work, so the project moved efficiently without unnecessary back-and-forth. Corley, our designer and initial project manager, was a guiding force throughout the renovation. She kept us within budget and skillfully suggested alternatives when our ideas began to exceed our financial plans. Corley understood our vision and style perfectly, finding materials and solutions that met our expectations without compromising on quality. Her attention to detail and commitment to both style and cost-effectiveness truly set her apart. The founder and general manager, Graeme, ran a business that truly offered a one-stop-shop experience. His team had every resource needed to make a renovation successful. They provided liaisons to handle permits with the city, architects and engineers to ensure structural integrity in major modifications (like when we removed walls and posts to open up the great room), and a full range of trades—from plumbers and electricians to carpenters. It was seamless and comprehensive. Of course, the true test of a renovation project is when complications and delays arise. Partway through construction, there was a change in project manager, and Chris took over from Corley. Although we initially worried about the transition, Chris and his construction manager, Justin, handled it seamlessly. They navigated unexpected challenges, such as increases in labor and material costs post-COVID, and executed the project brilliantly despite these hurdles. Brent, Corley, Graeme, Chris, Justin, and the entire MyHouse team turned our house into a space perfectly suited to our family’s needs, whether for entertaining or for our teenagers to study and hang out. We would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a team that combines professionalism, creativity, and genuine care for their clients. Thank you again, MyHouse Design/Build Team, for making our vision a reality!
My House Design/Build Team did our stunning main floor renovation, which included a complete transformation of our kitchen, dining area, mudroom, storage room, and office. We frequently receive compliments from visitors about the beauty of our home. We were highly impressed with their discovery process, project planning, and estimating. Each step was meticulously detailed, instilling confidence as we prepared for the extensive renovation ahead. Kat, our designer, was not only talented but also fun to work with; she provided creative solutions to our spatial challenges and took the time to understand our style, ultimately delivering an aesthetic that perfectly reflected our preferences in terms of colours, materials, and accessories. One of the most impressive aspects of working with My House Design/Build Team was the budgeting process. Every detail was accounted for, and we were pleasantly surprised to find that we came in under budget, thanks to their careful planning and transparent communication.
Our project involved a full-scale renovation of our home's envelope, which included the installation of new windows and doors, upgrades to both interior and exterior lighting, a modern master ensuite, the installation of an HVAC system, and the refinishing of our hardwood floors. Every phase of the renovation was executed with precision, skill, and great care, resulting in a home that not only meets, but surpasses, our expectations. Graeme Huguet, the founder and owner of My House Design, played a pivotal role in making this entire process seamless. His dedication, patience, and genuine concern for our vision were evident at every step. Graeme took the time to listen carefully to our ideas and made sure that every detail was attended to with the utmost attention. We are deeply grateful to the entire My House Design/Build Team for their exceptional expertise, hard work, and dedication in helping us bring our dream home to life. The transformation--complete with stunning south-facing picture windows and unobstructed views--has truly turned our home into a peaceful retreat.
