"Amazing. Clear and frequent communication. On time and on-budget. We had our exterior and plumbing replaced, some framing replaced/repaired, kitchen redone, and first floor adapted to be multi-generational / senior-friendly. Big shout out to Keith, Dave, Sylvie and Robin. We were well taken care of every step of the way by the whole team. Thank you to all :)"⁠

We hired Amsted for a complete renovation of our home, and we couldn’t be more thrilled with the final results! From start to finish, the team exceeded our expectations in every way. If you’re looking for a reliable, skilled, and professional renovation team, we highly recommend Amsted. They turned our outdated house into the home of our dreams, and we are beyond happy with the results!
Luis & Lindsay View Project
Amsted was by far the right choice. Their communication, professionalism, and quality of work surpassed our expectations., and left us with a beautifully remodelled main floor, including kitchen, foyer, dining room and living room. While they are more expensive than other design-build firms, the fact that the whole experience was seamless made it absolutely worth it. Highly recommend!
Zoe L. View Project
As beautiful and painless as a renovation project can be. Our entire first floor was completely modernized on time and slightly under budget - what else can we say? The Amsted crew was very responsive to any issues during the project. The design team helped us create a plan which is both functional and beautiful to our tastes with the main focus being to improve the kitchen.

When it came time to choose a contractor for the repairs, we didn't hesitate to lobby for Amsted Design Build. They had already proven themselves to be trustworthy, professional, and deeply committed to our well-being. We were thrilled when they agreed to take on the project, and they did an outstanding job on both the roof repairs and the interior reconstruction.
Helena & Edward C. View Project
Our new living room is wonderful. The whole family including the dog have spent more time enjoying the room than in the past. The fireplace and accent wall/shelves are fabulous. Exactly what I had envisioned for the space. We also had our main bathroom redone. It feels like a spa with all the new features.
Lee J. View Project
We built a custom home with Amsted, and were blown away by the care, dedication, and expertise of the whole team. We LOVED that [Amsted] was a one-stop shop for design and build. We made a great choice, and our house build was an incredible adventure we will never forget. We couldn't be happier, and we couldn't recommend Amsted more highly.
Courtney S. View Project
This was our third renovation with Amsted, and we have always been pleased with the end results. The design team is excellent, and makes all the decisions much easier, and the final product is of excellent quality! We are very happy with our newly renovated kitchen and main floor!
Kathie G. View Project
To me, Amsted is all about engaging good people and following proven processes. The result is a beautiful kitchen renovation. When I recover, I will be calling again on Amsted!
Linda P. View Project
[...] What stays with me most is that everyone at Amsted and all their trade partners really cared about the quality of work that was done and worked to ensure that I was entirely happy with the end result. All of the team members were quickly responsive to questions or suggestions. The completed project is beyond my expectations. Amsted made what could have been a very stressful undertaking a smooth, collaborative process and I now have the beautiful, functional home I dreamed I would have.

Unlock Your Home’s Potential with an Additional Dwelling Unit

With housing affordability becoming an increasing concern for countless Canadians, the government is stepping up with innovative solutions to ensure that everyone has access to a home they can afford. Beginning January 2025, homeowners can take advantage of the federal Secondary Suites Program, offering up to $40,000 in low-interest loans. This initiative empowers homeowners to create an additional dwelling unit, boosting property value and addressing housing shortages.
