They were very eager to please and had some great suggestions on materials. Also, if any issues, questions or concerns came up, they were very happy to fix and resolve the situation. We had a very positive experience and they did a fantastic job on our basement." > Source: Anonymous (5.0, via HomeStars) > "I talked to Start renovation to renew my bathroom, which was repaired 20 years ago. They offered me very good options. They also helped me choose tile and vanity models in an organized manner. They delivered the job in a period of 4 weeks. They treat my house very meticulously and keep their work areas clean every day. It is truly admirable that they took such a wonderful bath at the end. Thank you Start renovation and team." > Source: Anonymous (5.0, via HomeStars) > "I did a lot of research on bathroom renovations. I wanted to make my bathroom more comfortable. I saw Start Renovation on Home stars and looked at customer reviews. Actually, I was undecided because the number of repairmen is very large and it is difficult to find the right person. Vugar first came and listened to my requests and 2 days later he gave me a price quote and detailed explanation. and they started working after the contract. They gave me the bathroom of my dreams in 21 days. I am really happy. From now on, I will recommend you to myself and to those around me for repairs. Thanks Start Renovation." > Source: Anonymous (5.0, via HomeStars) ## Trades Architect, Basement conversion specialist, Bathroom Fitter, Bricklayer / mason, Carpenter, Fencing Contractors, Flooring Contractors, General Contractors, Handyman, Hvac Contractors, Interior designer, Kitchen Fitter, Plasterer, Plumber, Tiler ## See their work _Portfolio and gallery links this business publishes.

Electrical, gas and plumbing are licensed trades almost everywhere (for example ESA for electrical and TSSA for gas in Ontario), so check your provincial regulator that the contractor is certified for the work before you hire. - A construction lien is a real risk: in every province an unpaid subcontractor or supplier can register a lien against your home even if you already paid the main contractor. Hold back the statutory amount (commonly around 10%) and get signed lien waivers as you pay. - Ask to see a portfolio of completed work like yours, plus recent references you can contact. - Check the credentials and registrations that matter for this work, and that they are current. - Get a written, itemized quote with scope, assumptions and a staged payment schedule. ## Contact - Phone: (437) 245-8585 - Website: https://startrenovation.ca --- Source: MyTrustedTraders, https://ca.mytrustedtraders.com/traders/start-renovation Real public evidence only: every figure traces to its named source.
