We hired this company to do redo our kitchen. They did a great job. We’d recommend them

Going through a huge renovation is a very stressful process but we found that Ridgestone Homes guided us through every step with dedication, commitment, and patience which helped immensely. Very happy that we chose to partner up with Ridgestone Homes in remodeling our home. Appreciate your quick responses and helpful design ideas. We now have a new main floor with a dream showcase kitchen and a new remodeled second floor that we have always envisioned. Thank you for making it a reality.

We've now had a chance to settle into our brand new looking home and still find the results amazing. You and your team, at Ridgestone Homes, did a wonderful job remodeling our home. Sam was great and kept us informed whenever he came across something that was not planned for. We appreciate your quick response to unforeseen circumstances and how you personally dealt with each hiccup. Your personal handling of each situation was very reassuring. You and your team's design ideas were very helpful and the attention paid to details was outstanding. The final results are impressive. Our experience with Ridgestone Homes was a pleasure and will be pleased to recommend you and your team to others.

If you’re reading a review looking for a red flag on hiring (or working with) Ridgestone, this is it. We started work with Ernesto and truly believed he was a kind, grandfatherly type man. He seemed knowledgeable and made us feel comfortable. Things proceeded this way (or so we thought) until well into our extensive addition project. What we now know is that Ernesto (& Rosemary) are highly disorganized and unfortunately, highly unethical. There were countless things that came to light once we were living back in our house. Work was very delayed, so we were living there through much of it. Subcontractors complained endlessly and many said they weren’t willing to work for him again for countless, disappointing reasons. We learned that he had flooded our basement and lied about it, something we didn’t really believe until we found inches of water and mold in bins of our things. The Ministry of Labour was called by a neighbour because they witnessed unsafe work practices and the representative from the MOL blatantly called out Ernesto for lying about it. Things went missing from our house and were never returned. Extensive damage was caused across the house (in areas that were not intended to be worked on) and they were either never fixed or we had to pay significantly for it. For both homeowners and subcontractors, be wary that they did not pay one of their large subcontractors. This progressed until the subcontractor was forced to hire a lawyer and threaten a lien on our house (look into how the Construction Act of Ontario works - homeowners are responsible for the debts of your contractors). Eventually Ernesto agreed to have us pay the amount owing to the subcontractor, but it took lots of stress and difficulty. Lastly, over a year later we learned that they never sent the final details to the city to close the permit. In exchange for sending this, they are now “adjusting” our bill to be $5k (even though we’ve been paid in full for over a year… and in reality, the debacle with lawyers and the subcontractor caused us to lose more money beyond what we owed). Evidently this seems intentional and a last ditch cash grab when they think we’re backed into a corner. Overall - the project went far over budget, well over time. The work was average, but in many cases a struggle to get things done right. Regardless, you want a contractor that you can trust. If you’re looking for a reason to look elsewhere, let this be it.

We would like to express our sincere appreciation for the outstanding job you and your Ridgestone team did on our recent renovation. We found everyone to be committed, giving us the perfect renovation we were looking for. Our home now looks like a photo right out of a magazine. I know our renovation was not easy, our home had its unique revelations, but you and your team handled each task in a professional manner. I appreciate your attention to details and will without a doubt I will be delighted to recommend you to all our friends and family. I have the kitchen I always wanted and a main floor that I am happy to showcase, while my son has the basement he always wanted. Our home now has everything we wanted. Excellent Job. Sincerely, Sandro & Nella
