Aldo Structural Contracting

Throughout our renovation, I have not yet met anyone as committed as Alex and he sets the standard for a 10/10 review. Alex presented us with multiple options, was completely transparent about costs and made a few visits to our home before the project started to ensure we captured every detail and we were completely comfortable with the plan.

We had some slight changes that were necessary onsite once walls and ceilings opened up and Alex's communication was impeccable. He ensured I understood every aspect of the project and was an absolute professional. Alex's team was respectful, courteous and so far on the project, the Aldo crew has been the only one to leave the jobsite clean every day.

When we one day move to our next home, my first call will be to Alex, he was an absolute pleasure to work with.

As soon as we purchased the house we knew we will want to get rid of a couple wall to make it more open-concept.

I called a couple companies that I found here on HomeStars, and Aldo was the last one I called. As soon as I got in touch with him and we had our first meeting I knew that I don't need to call anyone else for this.

Alex came by and won us over instantly. Not only does he know the technical parts but he was able to guide the conversations based on our needs as a family in the future. He helped us realize that we wanted something more in some areas and maybe less in others and definitely helped us shape the entire scope and direction of the renovation and we are very thankful for that. He was patient with us, gave us time and space to understand how and where he will execute the work and was able to explain it from start to finish.

Once the final decision was made, the contract was signed and he started the drawings and permits process. Even in these difficult times where delays are pretty much the norm, he was able to get the permits approved in record time.
The work was executed with clockwork precision, the crew was amazing and Alex always explained what is happening now, what are the next steps and when things will get done, and he's always been exactly true to the estimates.

When challenges arose, as they always do, Alex always provided a couple of options and a recommendation - I really appreciated that about working with Alex.

As for the price, he will openly tell you he is not the cheapest but don't believe it :). When you factor in the quality of the work, the hassle-free engineer drawing, permit, revision process, the city inspection, the speed and the overall peace of mind when you see those big beefy metal beams supporting your house, there is no other company that will match Aldo.

Thank you for laying the grounds for the next portion of the renovation and setting us up for a great future in our new home!

Alex and his crew are true professionals. I’m a contractor in the Oakville and Burlington area and we have used aldo structural on a few jobs now and couldn’t be more happy. Not only are our clients thrilled, we are too. His professionalism is bar none. We bring him into our jobs right from the beginning and go over the desired outcome then Alex and his team work diligently to provide engineered drawings for permit submission and execute the structural work in an amazingly efficient manner. I can’t wait to work with them on the next project

While renovating the main floor of our house, a new long beam was installed to hold the whole roof over the kitchen/living area. It was necessary in order to demolish two old kitchen walls and make the whole space completely open and more modern.
Aldo Structural Contracting did an amazing job, better than we could have hoped for. It was not an easy project, to make sure the whole roof will be hold safe after removing old walls that were holding it.
The team approached it very seriously, making sure all safety measures are in place and no risks are taken. The work was done very processional, clean, in a timely manner and worry free for us as customers.
We very much appreciate the effort, commitment and quality of your work.
Thank you Aldo Structural Contracting! Looking forward to working with you again!

Alex was great to work with. The job turned out exactly how i wanted it to. Will be willing to work with alex again on another project.

Once we decided to take on our first major renovation, including knocking down two load bearing walls for an open concept main floor, we were nervous. We knew we had to find someone we could trust to help execute our vision.
After days of research Alex at Aldo Structural was the first contractor we called. He came over and was very patient with us and took the time to walk us through all of the details involved in the job from beginning to end and answered all of our questions – there were A LOT. He made us feel comfortable and really showed us he knew what he was doing. We learned a lot about what we were getting ourselves into from Alex but we wanted to do our due diligence and meet with other contractors before we committed, which Alex himself recommended.
We did just that and quickly realized that Alex does structural work on a daily basis versus other folks who sort of, sometimes, ran into structural work that they outsourced to others as part of bigger jobs. These other contractors were unable to explain the details behind how they would implement & execute the project like Alex did. After meeting with a few of these we quickly called Alex back with deposit in hand!
The work commenced on the agreed upon time and proceeded as Alex laid out. Work was completed on time, there were no surprises that Alex and team were unable to overcome, and within the budget we initially agreed to. There were some nuances to our project as we are in a semi-detached with a party wall and we could not plan everything to the last detail until we started, however, Alex communicated this at the beginning and had a contingency plan for all of the possibilities.
We ended up removing the two load bearing walls, putting in 2 steel I beams (1 packed to carry additional load weighing at ~900lbs), 2x metal posts, 1 concrete pillar, and reinforcing a steel beam in the basement to carry the weight of the post above.
The framework inspection went off without a hitch. The inspector commented on how well the job was executed and the overall professionalism of the work.
I give Aldo Structural & Alex an 11/10 and would recommend him and his crew for any structural work!

Alex and his team worked diligently on the project and provided first class quality and customer service. They will walk you through the process and give regular updates as the project progresses. All the appropriate paperwork was provided without hesitation. I would hire them again on the next project and recommended his services to my friends.

Alex and his team came through again. This is the second major project that My wife and I hired Alex to perform. Once again we couldn't be more happier with the quality of work. We opened up our basement and and had to install 2 iron support beams. From beginning to end Alex was there. He assisted in the design and took care of dealing with the engineer as well as obtaining permits on my behalf. When it came to perform the job his team were precise, thorough and clean. Alex even made suggestions that we're in our best interest, one of them even costing him more money on material which he absorbed.

Alex and team thanks again for coming through. We will definitely be in touch for a third project with you. Thank You

Our project consisted of various repairs and structural changes to our cottage. It was a long list accumulated over many years. Unfortunately all local contractors were giving us astronomical estimates with availability over 8-12 months ahead.
Then family friends recommend Alex and his crew. We had a preliminary consultation and appeared very clear his attention to detail and process oriented approach, excellent communication skills and scope of work description. Although the project was far away from their typical service area, we were very happy they accepted to take it as a work-vacation opportunity. The craftsmanship was simply spectacular. Their correctness, work ethic and dedication was very clear: they built to last a lifetime. Even all our neighbors said repeatedly that no other local contractor would have done a better job. Being a doctor myself, I expect my patients to trust my professional advice while I did the same with Aldo's recommendations. It paid off and we are looking forward to having them coming over annually to do small maintenance work, while enjoying a well deserved work-vacation at our cottage.
We were very happy with the results and definitely recommend Aldo Structural for future projects.

It was time to renovate the old kitchen but we also wanted to open up the walls to create a modern open floor concept to the living room and add an island. I knew the walls were load bearing and could not trust just anyone working on our home, so I looked for a reputable company with expertise and experience. I researched Aldo and their competency was evident from the photos of their previous works, so I called Alex for an assessment. Alex impressed me with his knowledge and professionalism. He not only explained in detail the scope of work required but also helped me to understand other factors of the project I hadn't considered such as he state of the ceiling afterwards and electrical work required. He conceptualized the project from start to end down to the minute details with too many to lists. Alex dedicated to our project from start to finish. He handled all communications with the city to secure our permit and kept us informed throughout the entire process. He kept his attention to every details to ensure the highest quality of workmanship and the results were more than satisfying. We are thrilled to see our new main floor with a gorgeous brand new ceiling, and modern puck lights. It literally feels like a new house. Thank you very much Alex and to your amazing team. We strongly recommend Aldo Structural for any projects on your home.
