Aldo Structural Contracting

My original wooden support columns were rotting and needed replacement. I reached out to Aldo structural who came in and replaced the wooden support columns with structural steel columns.
Alex, the owner, was very professional and did an amazing job. The final result is what I wanted and the service overall was amazing. In addition to replacing the columns Alex provided the engineered drawings to go with it.
I would highly recommend Alex for this type of work.

I contacted Alex about a renovation I was in the middle of, the Reno plans were pre designed. Demolition was done. The engineer who did the design plan made a massive error in which way the floor beams ran. When I contacted alex to see if he could install these beams he said no problem and had his engineer fix our drawings to make it possible for our walls to still disappear, completed the job within our budget as well. There is a very sold built steel beam structure on the main floor to the basement! Impressive work for sure and would highly recommend Alex and his crew for any structure repairs or modifications!

I have an attic that I wanted to convert into a master bedroom with a bathroom. Not knowing if it was even possible, I instructed Aldo to come and give me there advice/opinion on there project. They did an incredibly thorough job of inspecting the attic and provided me with an invaluable wealth of information concerning the job. I asked all the questions I wanted, some of which were not even structural engineer related. They above and beyond, and would recommend them.

My wife and i bought a year ago an investment property. We didnt expect the market to change. But we decided to renovate it regardless, thinking long term. We wanted to make the house the most attractive in the neighbourhood, for when the market will recover. After talking to various contractors, we decided to hire Aldo Structural. One of the factors that convinced us was the fact that they do an ''all inclusive package'', from structural engineering drawings to implementation. We knew exactly how it will look like in the end, how long the project will take and how much it will cost us. In the end it was exactly that: project delivered on time, on budget and above our expectations. Im an engineer myself (aeronautical) and came to appreciate their level of expertise. Our project was very complex (5 beams for over 4000lb total, various steel posts, footings) and seeing them at work, we are confident that the higher project complexity is the better suited to their skill set becomes. They made recommendations for other contractors and we finished the renovation successfully. We couldnt have been more happy.

My wife and I wanted to create an open space concept for our main floor. We wanted a larger space for our new kitchen, and to be able to see our kids play in the other side of the room. After getting multiple quotes from other contractors, we ended up going with Aldo Structural. We are extremely happy with the outcome and how the whole process was handled: they told us from the very start what will be done, how it will be done and what outcome to expect. They also recommended other contractors (kitchen manufacturer and windows) which we are now in the process of using. We are very satisfied with the outcome. Aldo Structural is a very reliable contracting team and we will strongly recommend them to our friends and family for their future projects.

My husband and I underwent a major structural home renovation this past summer. When we first started, we had no idea where to begin and decided to use Homestars to search for a general contractor. This is where we found Alex. Not only was Alex professional, punctual and friendly, he is efficient and is filled with an abundance of knowledge, skill and judgement concerning his trade. Alex guided our reconstruction process with relative ease and was happy to share his knowledge and expertise with us when we had questions! Because my husband and I decided to take on specific project management aspects of the renovation ourselves, Alex worked with us as we brought in various other contractors to get the project completed. Alex always made himself available and ensured we knew when he would or wouldnt be onsite. He was also very upfront with scope, cost and project timelines which, ensured that my husband and I stayed on track. I am so grateful that we chose Alex! Thank you for everything, Alex!!!

Contacted Alex for walls removal on the main floor, creating an open concept kitchen-living room layout. Alex was offering structural drawings as part of his services which was very convenient as I didnt have to look for a structural engineer specializing in residential buildings myself. Structural drawings were received in a couple of days, signed by the engineer which allowed us to proceed with implementing bearing walls removal. Alex and Philip came on time every day and conducted work in a professional and neat manner, observing safety and high execution standards. Support steel beams were installed in literally one day once delivered by the manufacturer. Alex also did all the correspondence with the city on my behalf, including obtaining the city permit and passing inspection. In conclusion, I will definitely recommend Alex and Philip for your structural project. Adhering to high performance standards and uncompromising work quality set them apart from any other structural contractors in the GTA area. If you need the project done professionally and in a timely matter Alex and Philip are the guys to contact.

The Aldo team did an outstanding job replacing the beam supporting a 100 year old house, involving removing the existing support pillar and installing a new support post and footing in order to increase the usable space and properly support and level the floor above. This project also involved sistering a joist and installing a lintel above the cold room and was completed within a week.

It was clear from the start Alex knows his business inside and out and takes pride in completing work the right way. What sets him apart: expertly navigating the permit process, open and timely communication, always being punctual, working with the engineer to develop the initial plans and handle any surprises along the way, obtaining custom made steel components with exceptional turnaround time from the vendor, and even going above and beyond with a few additional improvements I hadn't initially even asked for!

Aldo completed the work on schedule and as priced. Even when an unexpected problem happened, they were able to resolve it quickly and continue the work. I would highly recommend Aldo.

We needed some major structural changes done in our 100 year old house to make it our dream home, and the Aldo team brought us a big step forward towards that goal! The scope of our project included replacing existing columns and beams in the basement, relocating the basement stairs, removal of two load bearing walls on the main floor, and opening up the rear wall for a new patio door.
During the initial consultations, we found the team to be very knowledgeable, with extensive experience dealing with hidden pitfalls in older homes like ours. That gave us the confidence to engage Aldo to proceed with the work, and we are so glad we did! Due to the age of the house, we encountered many unforeseen challenges and surprises along the way, but the Aldo team helped us navigate through them each time. Through-out the project, the team worked tirelessly within very tight constrains while still being mindful of the bigger picture and end product. Alex and Philip, thank you for all your hard work! It did not go unnoticed!
