Recent reviews highlight clear and timely communication from quote through completion. Customers frequently mention careful prep, tidy work areas, and punctual crews. Many note crisp lines and consistent finishes across large interior projects and accent walls. Pricing is described as straightforward and not the cheapest, with value reflected in the workmanship.

Thushan Abeysekera on Szent - Ivany and Sons

I converted my unfinished basement to a 2 bed 1 bath apartment with the help from Szent - Ivany and Sons.
I got quotes from multiple companies and selected Szent - Ivany and Sons because of the level of details they included in the quote as well as clear and straightforward communication.
Communication is important in any project but it was critical for me as I was not on the site.

As for the price, they were not the cheapest and they were not the most expensive either. I thought the pricing was about right.

Since the build was done in compliance with all city and other codes, there were multiple challenges along the way including adding extra firewalls, reorient furnace, etc. They were super flexible with all the changes that were required by city inspectors as well as my own asks to change things along the way. They handled requesting all permits and coordinating with inspectors for inspections.

They say they consider all projects as working on their own properties and I believe this is quite true. They suggested multiple improvements along the way to improve functionality, cut cost, improve aesthetics, and maximize space, most of which I approved, which drastically improved the final product.

I am glad that I selected Szent - Ivany and Sons for the project and would not hesitate to get their services for any future projects or recommend them for anyone looking to complete any construction project.

The Szent-Ivany crew is amazing! They were punctual and immediately got to work on pairing a very large house. Their attention to detail showed in every room and the finished result looks fantastic! They kept spaces clean throughout the project and left things spotless upon completion. They were courteous, professional and always available whenever I had a question. Also they were helpful with decisions that made the final product even better. I would gladly hire them again and recommend them without hesitation.

Angela O'Neill on Szent - Ivany and Sons

We hired Szent-Ivany and Sons Contractors to finish our basement, and we couldn’t be happier with the results. From start to finish, their team was professional, friendly, and incredibly easy to work with. They truly took the time to understand our vision and helped bring it to life with thoughtful suggestions and creative ideas that enhanced the overall design.

One of the things that impressed us most was their ability to solve problems quickly and efficiently as they arose—always keeping us in the loop and offering smart, effective solutions. The carpentry and woodwork were absolutely top-notch, with a level of detail and craftsmanship that really sets them apart.

Communication was excellent throughout the project—The team were always responsive, clear, and kept everything running on schedule. It was such a relief to work with a crew that respected both our time and our home.

We’re beyond thrilled with our new basement, and we would wholeheartedly recommend Szent-Ivany and Sons to anyone looking for quality work, integrity, and a team that truly cares about their craft.

Great experience from start to finish. The armour stone design compliments our deck while adding incredible lakeside appeal. I highly recommend the team at Szent-Ivany and Sons for any landscaping needs.

Had the pleasure of hiring Chris and Jonah for my apartment accent walls. I went with a very dark grey and was so impressed with the painting and no mistakes, they did a fabulous job. They made the walls pop and no mess they did an amazing job! Would recommend them anytime as they do phenomenal work and are very professional and reasonably priced.
