Harwood Design Builders

Words cannot express our sheer delight and gratitude for the masterpiece Harwood Design Builders created in our home. Our new kitchen is nothing short of a dream realized. Their craftsmanship and attention to detail have resulted in a breathtaking space where we're already making memories. We were constantly impressed by their employees' skill, diligence, and positive attitudes. The extra care and time their crew put in truly went above and beyond. We're hard pressed to come up with a single complaint - it's five stars all the way. They really poured their heart and soul into our project. We would not hesitate to work with them again on other projects and recommend them to our friends and family.

In May 2021, after much research, we went to Harwood Design Builders to help us add a large room to the back of our house. We chose Harwood because their reputation is excellent and they give back to their community. Their business model is well conceived and very transparent. We always knew where our money was going and if there were any problems, we were informed in a timely fashion. The pre-build planning was not rushed and we feel that this attention to detail before the build contributed greatly to the success of our project. Despite the difficulties associated with COVID supply and demand backups, we enjoyed the experience. The room was finished in the spring of 2022 and we love it. Our greatest wish was that the addition would not look like an after-thought and Harwood indeed gave us a room that belongs on the house. Bravo! The Harwood team to a man and to a woman is very able and extremely customer friendly. We always felt that our concerns were heard and our wishes were accommodated. The design process was a pleasure and the actual build was just as stressless. At the end of each workday, our house was left neat and clean. Since we continued to live in the house during the work, this practice was extremely important to us. The subcontractors employed by Harwood are just as accomplished as the Harwood team. They were polite and hardworking whenever they were in our home. We thank Harwood for their hard work and willingness to translate our vision into a sunny and welcoming ...love it, love it, love it ... reality. We heartily recommend Harwood Design Builders.

I could not recommend Wayne Sage and the fantastic crew at Harwood Design Builders more. They worked some miracles in our FULL scale renovation/remodel/addition of a 1969 Japanese Mid Century home. We turned it to a modern version of Mid Century with heavy nod to the bones and styling the initial designers meant for the home to be. This project was a big one with A LOT of space added and completely turned around that required a lot of restructuring and design. The quality and the responsiveness to our sometimes overly demanding/regularly changing ideas was professional and appreciated through every step. They were on time and on budget much to our delighted surprise (with our ever changing list of wants/needs). Who could ask for more. You need anything for your home, new or renovation, call them, consult with them, don't pass them by as I assure you, you will not regret it.

I've been the independently contracted photographer for Harwood Builders for fifteen years now. The Harwood team is made up of the best craftsman and creative designers, as is shown in the beautiful projects that they've produced over the years. But a lot of what makes Harwood so great is in the things you can't see - high quality construction and attention to the smallest of details. When I photograph a Harwood home I only have to level my tripod once, and then proceed with all of the photos - that means that the floors are completely level throughout the home; not something that's common among builders. Wayne is friendly and approachable as I've witnessed in the friendship he has with his clients once a project is finished. I'd highly recommend using Harwood for your remodel or new home build!

There is some advantage to writing a review 15 months after completion of a project. It allows some introspection on the experience and gives time to settle into the new space before evaluating it. We engaged Harwood Design Builders in the spring of 2017 to develop our basement. Laney Stewart, Harwood’s Interior Designer, took our initial concept and developed it into a very functional and attractive space. She was excellent to work with. Construction began in July 2017. We learned very quickly that Harwood is a very well run company with excellent staff. James Friesen, Project Manager, Lui Tavares, Site Manager who did most of the construction, and Devon Buchholts who made sure all supplies were in place and on time. All were delightful to work with and did an excellent job. The sub-trades were also excellent. A special thanks to Lui Tavares for doing such an outstanding job, and being part of our home for nearly three months. Wayne provided detailed, itemized billing every month so that we knew what was being purchased and how it matched to the original budget. His accounting made us feel very comfortable with the costs and progress. The movie title “Build It and They Will Come” is true. Since the lower level (basement) was completed we have had numerous visitors stay with us and had several family events. All have commented on how beautiful, comfortable and functional the space is. We would highly recommend Wayne Sage and Harwood Builders. They made our construction project a pleasure and delivered on beautiful new space.
