Accolades
We've received some of the most highly-regarded awards in the home remodelling and construction industry. See what our clients and industry partners have to say.
Paul, Matt, Claire and Natalie were absolutely all amazing people. Just exceptional professionals. 100% on communication, problem resolution, the design and project management team.
Krista & Steven
We were extremely satisfied with the way the whole team supported us throughout the build. We felt that Men At Work met our expectations quite well. Our design team was amazing and worked so well with us throughout the project. They were always available for a quick consultation even for the smallest details.
Ian & Kris
When you hire a company like Men At Work, you have very high expectations. They are at the upper echelon of Design and Build companies in the GTA and when you return home, ones expectations are very high. Some management on this front could improve to ensure that the client clearly understands what they are walking into.
Noelle & Adrian
Long after our project has been completed, we are so happy with the renovation of our apartment. The Men at Work team is the best!
Christian & Julie
The process was very organized from the beginning to the end. They were professional and courteous at every step of the journey. They honoured the timeline that was set out from the start. They were always communicative and there were established channels in which to voice questions or concerns. A very good system supported with the on-line details that were helpful.
Rob & Anne
I am most satisfied that everything worked out great. Communication was effective, and the entire team was organized and professional.
Vlad & Livia
We were impressed by the level of detail in the initial budget... The end result is a fantastic house which our family will enjoy for years.

Timely communication throughout the process was so integral to the project running smoothly. He was and is always accessible...
Sean & Nicole
From start to finish we were thoroughly impressed not only with the planning and construction, but the follow up. We've been back in our home since July and if any small issues pop up (like a faulty led strip), the Men At Work crew respond immediately and correct the problem with no additional cost or hassle. We would absolutely use Men At Work again, perhaps in our next home.
Shauna
Not only are we pleased with the finished product, but also with the professional way you and your workmen carried out the renovation.

We are thrilled with the finished project and have been extremely satisfied with the whole team’s professionalism, responsiveness, and competence - particularly from our project manager, site manager, designer, and architect. They were highly communicative and collaborative throughout the process and we are really thrilled with the final product.
Carly S & Matt M
We recently completed a whole home renovation with Men at Work. Throughout the eight months of planning and one year of construction with Men at Work, their service and quality of work exceeded our expectations. From the start to the end of the project, everyone involved was incredible. We visited the site at least once a week and our project manager, John, and site manager, Omar, are both exceptional at what they do. They are a great team, knowledgeable, open communication, personable, responsive, and always kept us up-to-date with the progress.
The project was on-budget; they detailed the pros, cons, and recommended solutions. We decided to spend the extra money so that they could bring our dream home to life! The estimated construction timeline for our project was one year and they right on time.
When our home was delivered, punch list items were addressed within 3 days. Their after-sales services has been impressive; they are responsive and promptly followed up on any outstanding items.
Thank you Men at Work for transforming our house to our dream home!
Anthony and Alvina
When I think of MAW and the team, I think of a company that really cares. They want to execute the vision you and they have developed. They are there for you every step of the way and if there are any issues, they will find a solution. The company and people are professional and go the extra mile to ensure you are happy. Also once the job is done, they don't just leave. They've come back to touch things up. Overall we had a wonderful experience, and that is why we used them twice.
Bhavesh Joshi
I was very lucky to have MENATWORK fix and almost rebuild my basement of my 75 year-old-house. From project initiation, design and engineering development, permit and project management, carpentry and accounting services, their in-house team showed me a high level of professionalism. The trades they selected are also the best of all - very knowledgeable and efficient. My basement is now compliant with the modern day building code - safe, moisture and flooding proof, energy efficient and most importantly a very beautiful design. Their project management system included project progress, billing summary, change orders and even credit refund all in details. Everything has been documented, no hidden agenda. Honestly the costs was not cheap BUT for all those professional services, high quality materials and workmanship, more than 100 persons involved in a basement project, everything is compliant with updated codes and by-laws, their charges is in fact very reasonable in this level. Highly recommended.
