We were scared. We had a major project to do on our home and our biggest fear was to end up on Holmes on Homes with a reno disaster. Amsted quashed all those fears, kept us in the loop, included us in all details, were incredibly professional, knowledgeable and innovative. They did a fantastic job! Special shout out to Guy (Master Project Manager) Steve, Bryce, Kevin and Chris. You guys are the best!My house is dreamy now. Love it!

I can't say enough good things about Amsted. We are incredibly happy with our new kitchen and windows. They, and all their partner contractors, were very professional. They stayed on track and on budget. And if anything wasn't perfect, they made it so. I would highly recommend them.

Years ago when we were living in Ottawa, we had a major crisis. Carpenter Ants had invaded our home in the Glebe due to rotting wood in our old sun room. Our timelines were tight since we were moving and renting our home out to tenants for two years. Amsted looked at the job immediately and reconstructed the rotting wood joists, redid the floors… and walls, and then completed all the finishing work including painting. The job was not only done quickly but at a very reasonable cost. I cannot say enough about this experience and how it gave me incredible piece of mind. Thanks once again Steve
