Goldenfinger Renovation & Contracting Ltd.

Best contractors ever. We renovated our ensuite bathroom and our main bathroom at the same time. David and his wife were very professional from start to finish. They were detail oriented, extremely polite, and efficient. They covered the furniture with plastic and continually cleaned the worksite as they progressed. We had no problems communicating with them despite the language differences. They started on time, worked 6 days a week and finished the job a little ahead of schedule. They were delightful to deal with and we were extremely pleased with their work. We now have 2 beautiful bathrooms. We highly recommend Goldenfinger.

Goldenfinger did our basement renovation back in February and March of 2022. After requesting quotes from a number of contractors, we had a good feeling about David and Wei Wei. The pricing was competitive with other smaller contractors, but we gravitated towards Goldenfinger because of their flexibility with products (we wanted to self-supply quite a few things) and that they seemed genuinely interested in taking on our project and didn't just treat us like a quick quotation job.

We appreciated that David took all of our concerns and questions seriously. I am an extremely picky person so I probably pointed a lot of things that the average home-owner would not have cared much about. But David never disregarded or ignored any of our requests and really took the effort to address all of our items.

The work was delayed a few weeks from their original estimate, but luckily we were flexible and it wasn't an issue. The delays were partly because we added new scope throughout the project, some elements had to be remediated, and just general scheduling issues with more than one project which is to be expected. We didn't want David to rush through things and preferred that he take his time.

I think the key aspect of this review is to convey the level of integrity and honesty that David has. We have a custom shower with Mosaic tile base in our bathroom. After the first Mosaic tile was laid down, I had some issues with the consistency of the grout line gaps because it was a black tile with white grout. After discussing with David, he agreed to remove the tile and have it redone. The second install was much better and we were happy with it.

About a week later, David informed me that he realized when the drainage piping was installed for the shower, that the p-trap was never inserted. While he was applying silicone sealant on the second install, he noticed a sewage smell coming out of the drain. David had an extra worker helping out with some of the plumbing work early on in the project but realized that his workmanship was not up to par. Unfortunately, the drainage piping was already installed and he didn't realize it was missing the p-trap.

Without hesitation, David told me that the shower base would have to be taken out a second time to reinstall the drain pipe, repour the slab, and a third install of the Mosaic tile base. This was all done at their own cost, of course, but it really showed us David's personal nature and commitment to his clients. This was very near the end of the project, so it was a very inconvenient delay especially for Goldenfinger to have to redo this work. Although we were disappointed with the news, we appreciated that David had our best interests in mind and made sure we were not going to be left with a substandard product.

Ultimately, we are extremely pleased with the end product and would not hesitate to have Goldenfinger do future work at our home (kitchen reno is up next!). We highly recommend David and his team to any other prospective homeowners looking for a respectful, honest and skillful team to tackle their home renovations.

Side note: communication with Wei Wei was great. We don't speak Mandarin, but I was amazed at how well we were able to communicate with David via translation apps on our phones.

We had Goldenfinger revamp our main bathroom and our powder room, as well as re-grout our ensuite shower. We were very pleased with the workmanship and the final results. Communication with David was not a problem as he had a translation app on his phone that seemed to work well. David and his assistant were very flexible in fixing up whatever was pointed out to them. They were very professional and finished the work within the quoted timeframe. We would definitely recommend them.

Our real estate agent, who has been in the business for 20 years recommended Goldenfinger (David) to do our bathroom renovation for our home before listing it. David's work was excellent and very reasonably priced and we were very impressed and also grateful for our real estate agent's recommendation. We had no doubt that if we needed renovation work in the future, we would engage David to do the work. The opportunity came when we moved to our new home. Both upstairs bathrooms and the powder room were badly in need of complete teardown and complete renovations. We were fortunate that David could squeeze us in and did another execellent job for us over a 4 week period. He worked 6 days each week and brought in assistance when necessary. My wife was very particular about what she wanted the bathrooms to look like, so we bought some items ourselves and David installed them for us. While he was here, we identified additional work and David readily agreed to do the additional work for us. We asked him to re-tile the laundry room floor and install a new laundry tub; add ceiling potlights in the master bedroom and family room; and add a vanity and new toilet in the basement bathroom. We were very pleased with every aspect of his work. He also cleaned up every evening so there was no mess left behing for us to deal with. He was very pleasant to work with and very accommodating. There was no problem that he couldn't solve. We highly recommend David and Goldenfinger for our renovations. We will definitely hire him again!

David did a thorough renovation in my basement and in a timely manner. Workmanship was immaculate and all garbage was taken care of. Very polite and accommodating.

David's team did a great job in finishing my basement. Everything was completed as expected, he took the time to make sure the crew has done a good job on everything. When small defects are found, he took care of it immediately. He even took the time to repair a malfunctioning switch on my main floor. Great price for the quality work.

Absolutely loved the work completed. We will definitely use them again for our next renovation. The team were TIMELY, reliable, kind, clean and respectful. The number one focus is customer satisfaction. Théy told us the project would be complete in 14 days and it was as promised. Everything was as promised. It was a pleasure having them in our home, our family felt safe at all times- very kind people and very respectful of your property.

The 20 year old ensuite bathroom in our home required updating. After meeting with several contractors, a friend recommended Goldenfinger Renovation and Contracting.

Certainly glad they did as the workmanship and finished product created by Goldenfinger is stunning. Very pleased with the result and the meticulous effort that was put into the final product.

The project was completed in the time frame committed to, no delay with material and the work site was cleaned up at the end of each day.

Would not hesitate having Goldenfinger complete future projects in our home or recommending them to others who are considering a home project big or small.

Our 16 years old kitchen and bathrooms needed a new facelift for a modernize look.
After reviewing and getting quotes from several contractors on homestars, we chose GoldenFinger Renovation. David and Shirley completed the bathrooms and kitchen, in 4 weeks. Communication was never a problem, even though we do not speak Chinese. They are both hard working, meticulously paying attention to every details. Floor was taped, cleaned every afternoon before going home. Our family have been very impressed with the craftsmanship of David.
Shirley is indeed a very strong woman and not afraid to lift toilets, sinks, bathtubs, cabinets....
Thank you again David, Shirley and Wei Wei( liaison) for the wonderful task of transforming our new living space.
I would without any hesitation 100% recommend Goldenfinger Renovation for all your interior jobs. I have attached before and after pictures of the wonderful and excellent job David and Shirley performed.

By far our best experience with renos! Our basement was fully renovated (drywall, flooring, bathrooms, stairs, etc) in four weeks. This husband and wife team went above and beyond for us in so many ways.

They were friendly, honest and hardworking, most days starting at 9AM and finishing at 7PM, and working Saturdays. We felt safe even with the pandemic because they wore masks while in our home (we didn't ask them to do this). And they are considerate, keeping everything clean and tidy. When they arrived they immediately taped up our floors, and at the end of every day, the bathroom was clean, cardboard on the floors wiped down, and work areas tidied up.

They are knowledgeable. During the initial walk through, they asked if we were having problems with the kitchen drain. Turns out the homebuilder didn't install the pipes at a proper angle which was causing our drain to get clogged. After they repositioned the pipes, our drain now works perfectly. Their work is also clean and meticulous, and they demonstrate a good attention to detail.

We also appreciated how accommodating they were, coming back a week after the project to install light fixtures that arrived late. And language was never an issue. We do not speak mandarin but we were able to communicate with their son (who is also a pleasure to work with!) or by using google translate if we needed to.

We cannot emphasize enough how great they were and how positive our experience was. It truly was a pleasure working with them and we highly recommend them for any renovation project you have.
