A remodelled or renovated home by a contractor in st. catharines, ontario

Remodel vs. Renovation. What’s the Difference?

“Hey honey, we should definitely do a remodel!” he says. “Okay!” You respond. But then you stare off into space, thinking about that tv show you watched last night. And then you think… “But I thought it was called a renovation???”

Ha! This would not be the first time this has happened. And why? To tell you the truth, I don’t know. Maybe the term “renovation” has been over used on HGTV and “remodel” was tossed to the side because it sounded less sexy. Maybe it’s a Canadian thing. Who knows.

5 Benefits of Renovating Your Home in 2023

Moving into a new home can be stressful. Arguably, it’s actually one of the most stressful life events that we can go through. So, given the world economic climate at the moment, it’s no surprise that more and more homeowners are remaining in their homes as opposed to buying a new property.

“Steve is an amazing contractor. I have gone through several previous renovations and I can honestly say that Steve is the best I have ever worked with. He is meticulous in his attention to detail, innovative in his problem solving, and just a delight to work with. He did a very large bathroom renovation for me and I am thrilled with the result. He and his crew were hardworking and respectful of my property and my time. Most of all, Steve kept me informed and updated on a daily basis and he responded quickly to any questions or issues. I highly recommend SteveBuilt Inc. and will definitely be using them again.”

Steve provided a detailed, line-item cost estimate on the work scope, was very respectful of my budget and offered innovative design and material options to adhere to the budget, even as COVID pricing escalated. Steve has clearly established a service and quality standard that is exceptional, and his employees and subcontractors are aware of and respect this expectation. The SteveBuilt employees are respectful, extremely organized, meticulous in attention to detail, take ownership of any challenges and accomplish work scope as quickly as possible, including ensuring that their subcontractors’ have been set up for success. I Without hesitation, I would recommend SteveBuilt for major renovations.

We chose SteveBuilt to do our main floor renovation and are extremely pleased with our decision. The project started on time and followed the schedule set out by Steve perfectly. The contractors Steve used for the job were great, the interior designer he helped us choose was amazing, lead hand Rob and his crew were outstanding, and the constant updates from Amber all kept the project on track. We are so pleased with the look and quality of the end result, we would not hesitate to use Stevebuilt if we took on another project.

We highly recommend Steve and his amazing team of skilled, talented professionals. These guys are so reliable and trustworthy. Communications by Steve and Amber (admin) are above and beyond expectations. This team works like a well oiled machine. We never once had to be concerned if the job was getting done. It was amazing to watch the progression. Our thanks to Rob who lead our project and Dave. Our Reno., was completed on the day Steve had projected. This was all done in the midst of Covid. Which makes it even more impressive. We're very happy with the outcome.

I met with Steve from SteveBuilt after doing some research online. After meeting with Steve and discussing what I wanted to do, I went ahead and booked in my project. Although my house is small, I still wanted attention to detail and quality work. We had a great experience with SteveBuilt. Steve and his crew, (Dave and Rob were our main on site carpenters ) were great, very professional and paid attention to daily details of the job. The guys kept the jobsite as clean as possible, which was imperative with 3 dogs coming home each night. Amber was amazing through the whole thing, answering all my questions at all times, never leaving me guessing or questioning anything as things moved forward. We remodeled our main floor, took down a load bearing wall to open things up, installed a beautiful new kitchen, installed new flooring throughout and added a new welcoming front porch to the house. We are extremely happy with how everything turned out. I would highly recommend them!
Jamie & Pat HendricksKeswick St.
We are very satisfied with the project that Steve completed at our house. The addition of a patio and overhead permanent roof was perfectly designed to match the existing architecture of our home. He completed everything that we wanted and also gave us some ideas that we appreciated. Everything went smoothly and on budget from the beginning to the end. Thanks for answering all of our questions and being so patient with us. We have received many compliments from our family and friends. We would definitely recommend SteveBuilt.

From the initial application stage with Amber, first meeting with Steve, and drafting of plans with architect Glen C., we were confident our mudroom/laundry room addition, plus shed, would meet our expectations. A fully itemized estimate gave a clear picture as to costs associated. Any budget adjustments for client requested add ons and changes were promptly presented for approval. We were treated with fairness and consideration throughout the entirety of the project. Starting with the first day of site prep, to the final touches - the SteveBuilt crew has been a pleasure to work with. They are a hardworking group, with an attention to detail, and pride in doing the job right. They have your back and your best interests in mind. A special shout out to Steve and Dave M. in this regard! Any unexpected obstacles are dealt with head on. The client feels that the team cares, because they do. Steve surrounds himself with stellar staff and loyal subcontractors. We have no hesitation in recommending SteveBuilt.

I can't say enough about Steve and his crews. Their workmanship has exceeded my expectations. They could see my vision and made it comes to life. The site was cleaned every night... inside and out. Even our neighbours commented on their work ethic! Rob, the site manager, was a dream to work with. He became my sound board, my designer. I would ask his advice on everything before making a decision. I could trust his experience, and he was always bang on. The whole team treated my home as if it was theirs. My family and I couldn't have been in better hands. I will miss not seeing them everyday.

We had some major renovations done in our home. Steve was knowledgeable, patient and generous with his time. Every member of the SteveBuilt team has been professional and skilled in what they do. We are very pleased with the final results and are confident that they will stand behind their work.
