Customer Reviews

Robert P

We were very lucky to work with Jeremy and his team at Conestogo. Right from the start when we came with a design in hand, Jeremy walked us through every detail to discuss our options and make recommendations for the quotation. The high level of professionalism and consultation continued at every step of the way. The level of craftmanship in the build by his crew and contractors was excellent. Everyone was polite and focused on the work. The site was well organized and kept clean to the extent that all the neighbours were impressed. I would recommend Conestgo to anyone looking to build a custom home and want nothing but the best.

We have used Conestogo for 2 projects, a new cottage build and most recently a new house build. We genuinely appreciated the quality of workmanship and the incredible work ethic of the team. Additionally our favourite thing about working with Jeremy and his crew was their commitment to designing and building a space for us that we loved. There were no shortage of great plans and creative ideas from every person who worked on our projects. No detail was overlooked. Their expertise and experience made this team a dream to work with and there isn’t anyone else we would choose!!

We can not say enough good things about the experience of building a custom home with Conestogo Carpenters. From design to completion, we had a wonderful experience. Hardworking, respectful people and quality work. Shawn went above and beyond from start to finish. He was organized and had all sub-trades scheduled on time to complete the project faster than anticipated without sacrificing the workmanship. Always easy to contact and willing to discuss any changes to ensure we got the house of our dreams. The onsite crew was always friendly and a pleasure to be around. If you are looking for a custom home, or any renovation, use this company - you won’t be disappointed!
