BGallant Homes Ltd. built our gorgeous home, and we couldn't have been happier with the personalized attention, detail, communication - and post-build follow-ups that we have received. This is a top-notch builder, who prides himself on the use of high quality building materials, attention to all aspects of design detail, plus solid relationships with trades and contractors. Our relationship with Byron Gallant has been one of trust, integrity, and sincere follow-through on all matters concerning the building of our home. We are grateful for his sincerity and commitment to quality.

This builder built a deck for us on a large home. The quality was fine, but we found their pricing to be misleading (considerable variation from quote to finished product, despite no issues or changes in plans). We would not recommend this builder to anyone.

Im the biggest sceptic when it comes to builders . This was a complete turn around for me ,on time ,on budget and a pleasure to work with .And I got a rebate ! as they didn't quite come in on time .Seriously a rebate ! If thats not honesty and ethics I dont know what else could be
Had three major projects completed by Gallant ,all with same results .Perfect. Attention to detail ,every time . Will now use Gallant ongoing in the future . I don't have to worry about a thing .Everything is looked after ,and they are great to deal with .

We hired B.Gallant to do a renovation on our 1953 rancher. Ken, Steve and the whole crew, including all the trades were very professional, prompt, easy to work with and did an incredible job. The site was always cleaned after the day's work, the workers were all very respectful of us and our cat! as we "lived" in the house during renos. We certainly would not hesitate to recommend B.Gallant to others, because we would hire them again should the need arise.

My sister had her ensuite done beautifully by B.Gallant and so we decided to call them for ours. We were just planning to renovate our ensuite initially but decided to do our kitchen and powder room as well and into the laundry room. Ken, our project manager, showed up early everyday to let us know what was scheduled for that day. He and the tradespeople working on our house were professional, courteous and obviously very skilled. The renovations were completed in good time and we are so pleased with the the result. We would definitely call them again if we wanted anything else done. We highly
