Specializing in critical home integrity solutions, we address dry rot, beam replacements, and foundation issues using engineered methods. Our team identifies warning signs like leaning walls or rotted joists, implementing permanent fixes that ensure safety and compliance. With partnerships for engineering assessments and permit coordination, we handle complex structural challenges while maintaining transparency throughout the process.
Bathroom Renovations
From minor updates to complete overhauls, our bathroom renovations combine functionality with modern design. We specialize in heated flooring, custom showers, and accessibility modifications while preserving historical elements when requested. Clients receive detailed guidance on material selection and layout optimization to maximize space efficiency and long-term value.

Offering full kitchen transformations including cabinetry upgrades, countertop installations, and layout reconfigurations. Our process begins with lifestyle assessment to determine optimal workflow and storage solutions. We integrate energy-efficient appliances and durable materials while maintaining budget alignment through phased implementation options.

Drew and his team did an amazing work in one of our bathrooms that was quite old. They are reliable, sympathic, discreet and more importantly they are really professional.
Jan is very helpful and she always makes sure to communicate with her clients which is really appreciable. Thank you so much for the great job! Our son is really happy with his new bathtub. I recommend them without hesitation.

I contacted Gord May Construction to get a quote on repairing the window trim at the front of my house which had rotted due to weather and age. The response time from Jan was amazing (within an hour - on a Sunday!!!). Drew was able to provide a quick quote and start date which resulted in far less weather damage to my house. The final outcome was amazing and looks great. I have no problems recommending this team and will definitely share their company with friends and neighbours. A great experience.

I can not say enough regarding how fantastic my experience with Gordmay was. Their work is perfection and their communication goes above and beyond. The crew was a dream to have at my house everyday and Jan in the office was great at sending me status reports and keeping me up to date. I love my porch and I would work with them again in a heart beat. There aren't many companies like this one out there.

Gordmay came highly recommended to us by our friend who is an extreme researcher and does her due diligence! Weve since hired Drew and Jan for several projects for our 100+ year-old house and multi-year reno, all of varying complexities, including serious structural work. Gordmays team has always been very professional, friendly, and pragmatic. We especially appreciate that Drew never over-scopes the work to be done they respect our budget, while keeping our familys safety forefront. In a world of poor quality and craftsmanship, these guys take obvious pride in their trade and

Gord May Construction just completed a full main floor reno on our house. If you're considering hiring them for any job, big or small, don't hesitate. Just do it! We've had several contractors do work on our house over the years and Jan and Drew have been the best by far. Ours was an extensive reno and Drew handled everything with extreme expertise and a smile. Jan is organizer extraordinaire, always knowing which trades would be here, how long they would take, and going above and beyond, doing the little things that truly take the stress and worry out of a reno. At the end of every day our house
