Customers praise clear communication and capable, courteous trades, and describe projects as well managed from planning through completion.

We are currently working with Island Builders doing much needed upgrades to our home. We chose Island Builders because of two major renovation projects completed by our friends and our daughter. After completion both home owners felt they couldn’t have chosen more wisely. Island Builders gave us the confidence to move forward. The trades who come to your home provide quality product and excellent service. The owner, Dave, is the first word with his vast expertise of building, almost daily communication about progress and the final word on the finishing. Our renovation is amazing. We love all the changes and know we will be calling them for any further upgrades.

Joy Student

We had the good fortune to hire Dave Novak of Island Builders to do a major repair. Our woodframe double glazed windows had slow leaked and damaged the envelope of our house. Dave laid out a plan within our budget and time frame to address the damage, replace the windows and install a rain screened envelope with new siding to replace old asbestos contaminated shingles. Dave is a great communicator, attentive to all details and throughout we knew our project was in good, trustworthy hands. His crew were competent, consistently hard working, careful and courteous. Dave also integrated a last minute addition of ours- a heat pump and electrical power upgrade- into the main project. He followed up in 6 and 12 months after the project. We could not be more satisfied, and pleased to recommend his company.

This is very rare for me to say, but I wish I could give 6 stars. Dave and his Island Builders team worked with us from design to 100% completion on a beautiful master suite addition to our Victoria character home. We were not very experienced with building or renos, and Dave patiently helped us through every step of the way. He and his team wisely purchased materials well in advance to avoid unexpected cost increases or supply chain issues. The carpenters and tradespeople were high caliber, friendly and respectful. Every single one of our questions were answered promptly and completely. Completion date was almost exactly as promised (and was only held up by us). We strongly recommend Island Builders for any reno or new build! Debbie and Mike

Island Builders were very easy to work with from start to finish. They provided a site manager who was a good communicator and kept the site clean at the end of each day. The owner communicated immediately about any questions or issues. The subtrades provided excellent work and returned if there were any small details missed or needed fixing. Even now, one and a half years later, I received immediate attention for a small granite chip. We highly recommend this company.
