Shawn Sider and the team at Sider Bros. do extraordinary work. They finished our basement and remodeled our kitchen and living room, and we could not be more pleased with the experience and the finished product. Their attention to detail and craftsmanship is without peer. Apart from the work they perform themselves, they have terrific relationships with an array of talented and dependable suppliers and tradespeople. We would recommend them without hesitation and intend to use them for our next home improvement project.

Shawn Sider patiently guided me through the process of building my home. He is committed to delivering exceptional quality and gives careful consideration to every aspect of the project. Shawn is meticulous and genuinely cares that the customer is satisfied with the outcome. The same attention to detail is evident in work completed by Sider Bros. employees on site and in their woodworking shop, which produced all my cabinetry and interior trim. Throughout the build, it became apparent Sider Bros. is so highly reputable as a custom home builder for good reason. I look forward to many years in the

We worked with Shawn Sider and everyone in the Sider Bros team on a major renovation of our 90-year-old cottage. All of the repairs and updates were completed meticulously to every inch of the house, inside and out. What sets Sider Bros apart, however, was their ability to ensure the changes were in keeping with the character and history of the house. At every stage, Sider Bros understood and championed this project with extraordinary craftsmanship, professionalism, and creativity from concept and design, to implementation and completion. We spent a lot of time working together, and we would

We are very pleased with Sider Brothers extensive restoration of our Victorian lake house. There were many unique construction challenges associated with the restoration and Shawn always came up with excellent solutions. Several different crews worked on the project and they have all been very pleasant, efficient, flexible, and honest. When working inside the house, they were very considerate.
Sider Brothers' work is always very high quality and we would highly recommend them.

35 Years ago Lorry and I purchased a summer home on the Canadian Lakeshore. It was a 70 year old home that was indeed a "Fixer upper". At that time we decided to start a renovation and our architect suggested we contact Sider Brothers. Carlton and Leonard soon came on board as our contractors. I remember Carlton often bringing his youngest son Shawn, to assist his him and his brother Wayne tin helping us with normal maintenance on our lawn. In over 35 years the Sider Brothers have been the only contractor we have ever used. Besides our own home, they have built our pool, pool house, our son's house

We had our home built by Sider Bros. and moved in Nov of 16. Shawn and his crew are great to work with, both as a client and contractor. Class act all the way. Attention to detail and quality of service are the cornerstones of their business. You will not be disappointed. Thank you Shawn. Rob and Samantha Booth.
