Customer Reviews

Here are some reviews from their clients:

“Thank you Harmony Basements for the outstanding job with our basement. From the get-go, the team were total professionals. They showed up on time and got straight to work, always keeping me in the loop and making sure I was happy with the progress. They took the time to listen to my ideas and concerns, and either incorporated my ideas or suggested better ones in the final design. We are happy with the end result and I’d definitely recommend your services to anyone looking to renovate their home.”

“We moved into a new house during the pandemic that had an unfinished basement.  It was a difficult time but Harmony Basements managed to turn it into a wonderful legal basement apartment as quickly as possible. Every part of it is done perfectly. From the lovely flooring, the gorgeous stone wall and fireplace, to the beautiful kitchen and bathroom with glass shower and tiling.  All was done with safety in mind even down to the foundation check and we passed inspection with flying colours.  I am now enjoying living in my very own private apartment !”

Established 10 years ago, CSG Renovation has become an in-demand name in residential and commercial renovations in the Greater Toronto Area. It comes as no surprise considering the consistent quality of its renovations.

It’s worth noting that CSG is a full-range renovation contractor that goes beyond remodelling basements. It has a fully licensed and insured team that can do kitchen renovations, bathroom renovations, roof repairs, plumbing services, and electrical works.

Whether you want to turn your basement into a new workstation or a home theatre, CSG will know exactly what to do. In fact, it’s even successfully remodelled basements into home gyms, laundry rooms, and even wine cellars.

Aside from home renovations, CSG sells a wide collection of renovation materials such as double-paned windows, waterproof walls, and bathroom fixtures. We think that hiring it as your contractor is like hitting two birds with one stone.

There are various financing options open to all customers as well, which is great news for those who don’t have enough cash on hand. We’re not sure about the interest rates, though.

Customer Reviews

CSG Renovation has earned a perfect 5 out 5 rating on Google Reviews. Here’s what past customers had to say:

“After seeing the quality of their work at a friend’s home, where Zeev and his crew finished a basement, we decided to hire them for our basement renovation. We are extremely happy with the quality of their work. Everything Zeev promised he would do, he did. The job was completed on time, four weeks to the day, from start to finish.  All of his tradespeople were respectful and courteous and very professional.  Zeev is a problem solver and was able to help us incorporate an existing electric fireplace into our completed space. He worked with us in choosing finishing touches and his recommendations were informative and helpful. If you are looking for a contractor for your home renovation we would definitely recommend CSG Renovations. They offer quality, affordability and reliability.” -David Torquia

“I needed a modern bathroom for our master suite. CSG surprised me with a custom design, incorporating all our ideas into their plan. The new toilet and bathtub that they installed are so easy to use and quite efficient. Everything is modern and well laid-out. They worked within the agreed time and were flexible enough to go with our schedule. I appreciate their creative choice of materials and attention to detail. Thanks for the good work.” -Andrew Pounds

If your main goal is to increase the value of your property, then you should definitely check out Alfa Design. It’s a renovation contractor that’s helped multiple Toronto residents add thousands of dollars to the price of their residential spaces.

The thing about Alfa Design is it’s not as popular as the other contractors in our list, but it’s not to be underestimated. Despite its small team, it managed to work on renovation and remodelling projects of different scales, big and small.

Speaking of its team, Alfa Design takes pride in its skilled and experienced remodeling experts who know their way around 3D modelling and computer-aided design software.

We’re particularly impressed with its attention to detail and eye for design, which is a trait that every homeowner looks for in a renovation contractor. Its designers know which wallpapers and furniture will go well with the interiors of your basement.

The only qualm we have with Alfa Design is we’re not sure how long its warranties last. If they don’t last years, then that may end up becoming a huge inconvenience for you.

“Simply the best!! Ali and Mehdi are very kind and knowledgeable people. They helped us remodel our basement and we couldn’t be happier! Nice and honest people, it was a pleasure to work with them! I strongly recommend them to anyone who would like to improve the value of their home.” -Anis Heirani

“I am very satisfied with Alfa Design. I had a terrible experience with my 2 previous contractors and I was running out of time because I needed to move to my condo ASAP. Without Mahdí and Ali’s work, I would be lost. They worked very fast and with very high-quality standards. Every time there was a problem, they stepped in to suggest solutions. They are really committed to delivering something that will make you happy. Most contractors don’t do it. They do.” -Marcelo Gagliano

SERVICES	Basement renovation, basement finishing, basement walkouts, bathroom renovation, and kitchen renovation

ADDRESS	906 Magnetic Dr, North York, ON M3J 2C4, Canada

Penguin Basements has been renovating and finishing basements in Toronto for more than a decade now. It’s a recognized member of Renomark™, which proves a lot about the quality of its renovation services.

Aside from the guarantee of high-quality renovation, being a member of Renomark™ means there’s a minimum two-year warranty and a minimum liability of $2 million on all renovations.

Renovation accidents are something that every homeowner is afraid of, but with Penguin Basement, there are safety standards in place to make sure that every worker is safe. There’s also workplace liability insurance to legally protect customers from damages.

The thing we like most about Penguin Basement is that it can turn your old, decaying basement into a place of entertainment or productivity. Basically, it treats every basement like a blank canvas and it will paint whatever the imagination of a homeowner is.

Unlike with other contractors, its sales team doesn’t exist solely to sweet talk all potential customers. Every single sales representative is trained in building codes, design, and estimation.

In most cases, its sales team can provide homeowners with a quotation on the spot, with no hidden charges or surprise fees later on.

Finally, Penguin Basement offers financing options to make it easier for homeowners to pay for their renovation. Top of this off, the interest rate is as low as it can get. 

Customer Reviews

Dennis Foot posted this feedback on Facebook:

”We recently used Penguin Basements to finish our basement in Newmarket, Ontario. We had seen their sign around town, and figured we should inquire about their service and finishing system. We did inquire with some other companies as well, but found Penguins’ presentation made the most sense for us. We are pleased to say that everything — from the first response of our inquiry, to the finished product — has been very seamless and actually quite enjoyable.“

Another customer named Todd shared his experience on HomeStars:

”I always had concerns about which company to use to finish my basement. Penguin Basements put me at ease, from the salesperson Dan who brought a floorplan that I would never have considered, to Vince, the project manager, who kept me well informed and made sure the project was done to the highest of standards. There were no real surprises along the way, and they made sure we were happy every step. Fantastic Job.”
