Arama Renos

From the initial visit to produce the quote and the in between support prior to starting the a renovation, Arama Renos was professional. Had some deadlines they had to meet for the demolition and they got it done in ample time. The workmanship was excellent in the rebuild and we are loving the finished product. Can wait for the next project to get them in again.

We bought a house last year in July and it needed a good amount of work: unfinished basement, 3 overdue bathrooms and a kitchen. Me and my wife working from home and 2 kids. We needed to move in end of October 2023, so we started asking around for a decent contractor and Abe's name was thrown out there by one of our friends who had him renovate their house in 2021. They were pretty happy with the work, so we decided to have him look at the project and provide some details and a quote. We ended up hiring his services and it was a great experience from the amazing help with sourcing for materials to execution and then finish. Super happy with the communication and the great ideas. We love the outcome, and those benches in the showers are definitely game changers!!! Basement now looks AMAZING and kids spending most of their time downstairs. Abe recommended noise proofing and i must say it really made a difference.
Highly recommend Arama Renos

We highly recommend Arama Renos. We own an old bungalow and have hired their services to renovate our whole main floor. They did such a great job and we like how thorough they were with the details pre and post finishing. He kept us in the loop always. We love our kitchen and bathroom, what a great upgrade! These guys are knowledgeable, friendly and trustworthy. We'd hire them again at a heart beat! Thanks again Abe and team!

Very pleased with the detail and professionalism from Abe and Mark. The basement is now the focal point of our home, where everyone wants to hang out. In the short time it's been completed, we've hosted so many games night.

Thank you Abe and Arama Renos for helping us expand our living space, and making our home enjoyable again

Did every thing in the kitchen from tiles to the ceiling and the lights Profesional work is done .
Thank you Reno .

Exceptional work and attention to detail. Very professional and accommodated my schedule. Couldnt have asked for a better contractor. Ive recommended him to friends and I will continue to recommend him as I was so pleased with his work and professionalism.

We hired Arama Renos to renovate our main floor and i must say we're glad we decided to go with them. Abe was on top of things and very pleasant to talk to. The advice he gave on several fronts turned out on point, he managed to stay on budget and delivered in a timely manner. We're pretty pleased with the finishing. Overall we're very happy with the outcome and we're definitely hiring them to to do our second floor next year.

Our laundry/mud room has been transformed! It is now a clean, modern and attractive space. Arama Renovations did an amazing job. Abe and his sub contractors were helpful, flexible and offered excellent design suggestions. The work was completed on a reasonable timeline and communication was clear and accurate. Although not inexpensive, pricing was fair and competitive. We are happy customers!

He was clean efficient and did the work as discussed. Very knowledgeable and honest. I highly recommend working with him.

From the moment I requested a quote through Homestars, things were already looking up. Abe replied within less than half an hour that he was interested in the job and he came over a few days later. He listened to our needs and wants, made some suggestions, and, just as importantly, wasn't shy about telling us that something just wouldn't work or make sense in our situation. This frank discussion would be the first of many, and immediately showed 2 important things: that he takes even the small-to-medium size jobs just as seriously as the big ones and that he was very pleasant to talk to.

The job itself wasn't supposed to be anything special: replacing a vinyl floor with tiles, swapping an old hardwood floor with a new one, re-doing a small powder room, taking down old kitchen cabinets and replacing them with better ones along with a new small corner counter, plus a variety of small touch-ups to improve the main floor of this 50-year-old condo townhouse. A quote was written, updated after a couple of chats, an approximate start date was set, we purchased the flooring material to be used (after running it by Abe to make sure it would work out), and then we waited for our time to arrive, which was supposed to be in the early part of 2022, but some issues came up and Abe was able to swap our job with the one that was scheduled after ours, which helped greatly. Numerous other phone and email discussions took place during the waiting period to confirm the kitchen cabinets style and that everything was still on schedule.

When the time finally came for the work to start, Abe came over one last time a few days before to confirm everything and have that last walkthrough. Of course, before you can have the construction you need to have the demolition. For two days, Abe along with his right-hand man, Marc, and Miguel ripped out everything that had to go, and this is when a few interesting discoveries about the way one of the big-name builders built homes back in the 70s came to light. After the demolition, Abe and Marc prepared the floors for their makeover. This step required a lot of work to overcome the shoddy construction work by the aforementioned builder and sections of the sub-floor needed to be replaced altogether. While everything turned out great with the renovations, the tile work is where Abe really showed his dedication to getting the job done right. Uneven joists and crooked walls meant that he had to take extra care to make the floor as even and straight as possible.

The subcontractor Abe uses to install the hardwood floors was next and did a great (and VERY fast) job. The same can be said about the cabinet-maker who built and installed the new cabinets in the kitchen. Over the course of a couple of weeks, the Awesome Duo then took care of the rest of the work, including the baseboards and trims. Another awesome aspect of Abe's work ethic and willingness to help is the many, small requests that we dropped on him over the course of the renovations. The toilet in the basement even started leaking and Abe didn't hesitate to look at it, let me know that it was a goner and replaced it even though it wasn't part of the scheduled work. He even went to Home Depot with me to pick up the new toilet and bring it home in his van, along with the bathroom vanity. Anything to help us out, he was willing to do.

And so 3 weeks after the start of the demolition, the work was done. Abe even reached out to some of his contacts at our request and scheduled a full house cleaning with some cleaners he knows.

Throughout the entirety of the renovations, we never felt nervous about how the work was coming along, we had a blast interacting with Abe and Marc (Miguel was only present for the demolition but was also fun to chat with) and we are ALMOST sad (almost) that it had to end so soon. Abe even brought us lunch on his last day. We have already discussed our next renovations and I won't even look elsewhere. Abe has my business for anything and everything else we need done. Hire him for your next renovations, you will NOT be disappointed.
