AGM Renovations

AGM Basements are the standard by which we would judge all other contractors. They were fast, always on site when they said they would be and they finished on time. Every worker was polite, conscientious, professional, and so happy to please us. We truly were their first concern- that the basement be beautiful and that we would enjoy it. There were NO horror stories here, only the MOST helpful team of workers I have ever encountered. You will NOT be disappointed if you hire them.

I had over a half dozen companies and independent contractors come to my place to give me a quote for my basement renovation (main area, a 3 piece washroom, room and storage area). My project ended recently on time and I have to say AGM fulfilled everything I required. The main advantage of working with AGM is everything is done with them from start to finish, from the concept; design, workmanship, and even final clean up.

The entire staff is extremely proficient and focus on customer service. I had a lot of questions at the start of the project, and was very involved in asking questions with every tradesman that I came across. Each and every person understood this and took the time to answer my questions both technically if I understood what they were doing, to breaking things down in plain language so that I could understand. They treated my house and time with respect and made it a point to check in with me or my family to ensure we were comfortable. Even with a lock box outside, they made it a point to ring the bell and knock before coming in, just in case I was still home when they arrived. It is a small thing to some people, but one of the many things that is appreciated when you are living thru a big project. The experience each person has is very evident. Everyone went out of their way to be courteous, efficient and transparent in what they do. Each person that came was skilled in the particular thing that they did.

My project was very complex, as I had a lot of big visions and an extremely tight budget. The entire team understood this and gave me excellent professional guidance as to where to spend my money and where to save. This was extremely helpful, and appreciated as now that the project is complete. I had some changes when the project was in full swing, and they were very clear on how much it would cost and what the benefit and opportunity of the change would be. Again, this is extremely appreciated and now that the project is done, I can see how everything they said made sense.

The materials used was as promised and far superior to builder grade materials. I personally researched and asked about materials being used prior to start and they lived up to that. The workmanship is excellent and of a very high standard. The project manager made sure he was available when I needed him. The designer was able to recognize when she came to my house the type of paint I used upstairs (just by looking at it) and gave me a suitable compliment to quality in my basement, which was very impressive. The salesman was knowledgeable, patient and detail oriented, often pointing out things which helped save money and make excellent use of the space. Ultimately from start to finish, everyone exceeded my expectations.

From a consumer point of view, my suggestion is to make sure to be available (by phone, email or in person) for the first few days of construction. As with any major project, a lot of little questions and opportunities come up. The employees want to make sure that you are satisfied with the project and want to get it right the first time. Making yourself available during that time will ensure that you avoid settling on anything. I am very happy that I had someone at home during the start of the project to answer all the questions (first 2 or 3 days). With that said, the company was very trust worthy and kept the work area clear of any debris to the best of their ability. They were also very quick to pick up any debris outside and did so several times during the project.

The entire team did everything to ensure that my project came in on time and with excellent quality. For peace of mind, everything is written in the contract, and they provide an excellent 2 year warrantee. Overall I had an positive experience with AGM and recommend them.

I have to take a moment to recognize AGM for the fantastic work they did in finishing our basement and for their professionalism and commitment throughout the process.
I am notoriously hard to please and by nature I am always skeptical that service providers can live up to their commitments. From the beginning I was certain that my basement would not be finished on time and that my costs would magically increase once work started.
To my complete shock I could not have been more wrong. The team at AGM met every milestone in our timeline, the price they quoted did not change and they actually finished the job early! From our interactions with the sales team, design center (a special call out to Alene who was just fantastic) to the onsite crew everyone was extremely responsive, qualified and focused on quality.
We could not be more happy with the results and I have not stopped talking to friends and neighbors about how pleased we have been with our entire experience! I would highly recommend AGM for anyone who is considering having their basement finished – there prices are competitive, their quality is exceptional and they run their business professionally by honoring commitments and ensuring that the homeowner is kept up to date on all aspects of the project!

I read the reviews on HomeStars and did some research and brought them in for an estimate. They were very easy to talk to right from the beginning as this was my first time ever doing a project like this and I was very nervous. This was a full 2 bedroom basement apartment. I loved the fact they handled everything from start to finish. They stayed to their estimate right from the beginning and we were able to add extras when we saw the final design.
The work was excellent and loved the materials they used for finishing. They employed all the trades and knew what was needed to meet code. I only had to watch and enjoy the process. My neighbours who reviewed their work after each stage were nothing but complimentary.
Also found all the workers so polite and hard working. Very dedicated to making sure that I was happy with their efforts.
I would highly recommend AGM to anyone. They made a very stressful process a happy experience for my family.

This company was very well organized, hard working and ensured that they got the job to the customer's satisfaction. I would highly recommend this company for basement renovations. The plumbers were especially considerate and very professional, as well as the men that worked on the flooring.

I got put in touch with AGM Renovations through a referral and I am happy I did! From the initial consultation, I knew it was going to be a positive experience. He was a true professional and knowledgeable, reassuring me that AGM was the way to go. Overall, I was mostly impressed by the quality and efficiency of the work. The project was completed in a timely manner, without compromising the quality. Definitely recommend!!

We used AGM Renovations to complete our Basement Renovation project. They were recommended to us by a friend and we were impressed with AGM right from the start. Ivan with his professional presentation, Lana with her design expertise and Alex with the Project Management. They have a great team of tradespeople that are very professional and very friendly. Everyone showed the utmost respect for our home during the whole process and they completed our basement on time as initially stated. We would not hesitate to recommend AGM to our family and friends.
We want to thank Ivan, Lana, Alex and all the tradespeople for a job well done.

We were looking to get our basement finished and found them through a google search. They were quick, on time, and the cheapest contractor we could find to do the job.
