Ashton Renovations

We hired Mark to renovate our kitchen. Mark was very helpful in making suggestions for products and directing us to the appropriate retail locations. He also returned our calls promptly. We are extremely happy with the finished product and would use Ashton Renovations again if needed.

Thanks to HomeStars we were introduced to Mark Ashton and his team. We had heard and read of some horror stories out there but we're happy to say that Mark is the real deal.

His team did an amazing job with our recent kitchen project. His team was clean, punctual and did quality work. He's also got a deep list of trusted sub trades that work with the same efficiency that he does. Everything came in within budget and we're very happy with the end result.

We will defiantly be using his services again for our next home flip.

Thank you!

We worked on a kitchen a few years ago with Mark Ashton and were extremely impressed. So when it came time to landscape our backyard and put in a stone patio there were no questions about who we would call. And Mark and his team did another outstanding job. They worked with us to schedule the project and brought some great ideas to the table – including how we could maximize our budget and how we could landscape the backyard to create a comfortable and usable space. As with our first project, Mark's team kept to the timelines, kept our home clean and tidy and kept us informed throughout the project. We had lots of opportunity to give input and they had excellent suggestions along the way. What impressed us – in addition to Mark's excellent communication skills and site management – is that his company can handle a variety of projects – inside and outside the home. We are already planning a third renovation to our home and are planning to work with Mark again.

The most important thing to know about Mark is the importance he places on a perfect finished product. While some renovators will finish to 95%, collect their cash and go, Mark will identify punch list items that even the homeowner did not think about to ensure full satisfaction.
I was happy to find Ashton because my needs were not of a complete reno because my kitchen was mostly done. I had a series of punchlist items; I needed new flooring in my kitchen and foyer as well as lighting upgrades and a solution to save some space and get my microwave up above the stove. This was a challenge because I had a bulkhead at the top of the cupboards leaving only so much room. Ashton was able to efficiently contract out a number of different trades and complete all areas of the updates with a good final product.
My kitchen floor was builder's quality ceramic and I was unsure how to update it because chipping out the ceramic would be expensive and possibly damaging to my cabinetry. Mark suggested cork to lay over the ceramic. I can't say how happy I am with the cork. He navigates around cupboards and was able to install under appliances to create a finished look as if it was the original flooring. For the microwave, he gave me several options for cabinetry with different cost levels. I chose a midrange solution with a custom 8 inch cabinet that molds around the oven vent to salvage some storage and create aesthetic appeal.
Mark is an easy going guy who does all he can to adapt to the needs of his clients and their preferred way to work. I'd be happy to recommend him to a friend who is looking for a professional and clean looking finish to their job.

Wonderfully pleased with all aspects of reno - communication, timeliness, cost, and all personnel. Mark completed all work beyond our expectations. We hope to be able to work with him again, soon.

We highly recommend Mark and his team for their professionalism, punctuality, quality and full concept service. They provided an accurate estimate for our bathroom that worked within our budget (No surprises!). We also were particularly pleased with their full service from the design of the bathroom, to recommending & purchasing the materials, and finally installing the entire bathroom in a timely and well orchestrated manner. Mark was extremely informative and approachable.

We were skeptical consumers because of previous experiences with unpredictable contractors. We are very happy with our bathroom. Mark Ashton will be returning shortly to renovate another bathroom and our kitchen.

We are extremely pleased with our renovation project. Mark and his team did a fabulous job on our bathroom and kitchen so we expanded the project to include the family room too. Mark was very professional and provided us with a detailed, written contract. Where appropriate he steered us towards cost-effective alternatives which kept us on budget without sacrificing quality. He was very proactive in keeping us informed on the progress of our projects. (Mark was very easy to reach by phone - we never had to chase him.) The team kept the job site amaizinglyclean and were always professional. We would highly recommend Ashton Renovations and would certainly use them again.

We cannot say enough good things about Mark Ashton, of Ashton Renovations. Not only did he steer us away from un-necessary expenses during our renovation, he also was very helpful in finding cost effective solutions to problems which developed during the renovation process – especially when renovation a 90 year old house. Mark came in on budget and the final product speaks for itself. Please have a look at our completed bathroom – Ashton Renovations turned it from one of our least favorite rooms in our house to our most favorite. Renovations are never an enjoyable experience, but Ashton Renovations made it bearable –

My kitchen renovation is wonderful, it is such a pleasure to be in the kitchen. Mark was always helpful, he always responded when I need information or help. Mark was great to work with. He cares about the work he does and that everything is done right. His ideas such as wallcolour and backsplash were wonderful. I look forward to having him do some more work for me. The people working with him , and the electrical plumbing and granite people were great. F.H.

We are very happy with the rennovations. Mark is excellent at providing guidance on design ideas and cost effective decisions on material and component selections. He followed through on all promises and held subcontractors accountable. Ron and his brother does excellent carpentry.
