MODE Contracting & Basement Renovations - Edmonton

After checking multiple different contractors, Ryan was the one who gave us the best feeling that the basement suite would be done right. Ryan was talkative and give us a fairly good idea of what to expect with the entire process. He helped us out with design and gave us a cost estimate that we thought was fair. Mode Contracting got all the necessary permits and when Shaun and his crew arrived they worked quickly and efficiently to tear the basement apart so that they could rebuild our envisioned basement suite. The guys worked hard, and were meticulous in their work. Pays to have some knowledge and hard work. Mode went above and beyond on a couple things that we wanted for the upstairs which really helped us out. Apart from being very courteous and hard working, I genuinely felt that they were in it to help our vision (or lack their of) come to life. We had some small issues with timing the install of the windows (a combination of our fault and the window contractors fault) but beyond that I didn't have any problems at all. Throughout the entire process, Shaun and Ryan were in constant communication with us so we knew what was going on every step of the way. The basement suite turned out great and we already have plans to hire them for an upstairs bathroom and eventually a kitchen.

I found MODE online and based on positive reviews hired them to finish the basement of our half duplex in Summerside. They were exactly what we needed - professional, affordable, reliable & accommodating. Ryan, Shaun, Martina, Mike and all the rest of the MODE team did a wonderful job. On time and on budget!

Mode completed a basement renovation for us in Feb 2022. They were fantastic to work with. We were impressed with their professionalism, quality of work and how nice they were to work with. . We are happy with our basement. Highly recommend.

At the beginning of summer we had our basement developed by Mode Contracting. I got three different quotes from various recommended contractors and was most impressed with Ryan at Mode Contracting. Ryan was the only one of the three contractors who really listened to what I was wanting in the downstairs space, which was a bit of a challenge because of the placement of the windows, furnace, support beams and bathroom rough-ins. Ryan and Sean (who are the business partners) have a really hired a great team. I am a shift worker and was at home sleeping during most of the renovations. What really impressed me was that Ryan asked the workers (Mike and Jon who were fantastic) that if at all possible to do the really loud stuff like jack hammering after 3pm so I could get enough sleep! If anyone at my work is planning on doing renovations I have been telling them about Mode Contracting and their consideration for shift workers. During the 7 weeks they worked on our house there was not a day that someone wasn't working downstairs. Mike and Jon, who were here doing a good portion of the basement were amazing, they were easy to talk to and would answer my questions if any came up. The basement was finished on time with all the appropriate permits. Our family is so happy with the basement, the finishing is amazing, and our guests love the space we finally have for them.

We had our basement fully finished by Mode and couldn’t be happier. From the initial visit and quote by Ryan to all of the trades who worked on our basement, everyone was professional and did top quality work. We would highly recommend Mode to anyone doing a basement development.

Amazing work! They went above and beyond to give us the perfect basement. High quality finishings and they paid attention to every detail. Really friendly staff and very responsive.

We contracted MODE for a total condo renovation - a relatively big project touching every part of our place. Flooring, counters, cabinets, railings, ceiling, plumbing, fixtures, and some minor structural changes on top. They delivered everything on time and on budget, which was very impressive considering the entire project happened during the pandemic, and supply chain problems were starting to kick in near the end. Right from the beginning they were straight forward with us, letting us know some of our ideas were probably impractical, but quickly offering up alternatives. They also asked far more questions than other contractors we talked to, talked about their business process and timelines, and were generally open and transparent about everything right off the bat. They had us meet directly with their suppliers across town to pick out every little piece we needed, and everyone we dealt with was extremely helpful, knowledgeable, and more than willing to answer our questions. We moved out to give them full access to our condo unit, and fourteen weeks later, we had a brand new place. They were quick to alert us to any issues throughout the process (the building is only from the 1980s, but still old enough there were some surprises of course), and gave us updates (or encouraged us to just pop in) whenever we needed. Their team, and all the trades they brought in, were friendly and helpful, and everyone did a fabulous job. We asked a lot of questions and they were very patient with all of our inquiries, though obviously it is hard to get a firm answer sometimes with multiple groups all involved in some decisions along the way. We'd definitely recommend MODE for any projects - big or small - you come across. They were amazing at every step and we would happily use them again if we ever needed more work done in our place.

We had MODE renovate our basement in a 1962 bungalow. They were amazing to work with. Martina emails back so quickly and all the persons who entered our home were polite and professional. When we needed to make adjustments to the schedule they were incredibly accommodating. We made a few changes along the way (tankless hot water, sub floor, flooring etc.) And they were incredibly easy going. We'd definitely hire them again, our basement looks awesome!
