WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING
OUR GOOGLE REVIEWS
We contacted Meraki General Contracting to help us build a new deck. These guy's were fantastic to deal with right from the start. From helping us plan and come up with ideas for the new build, to the guy's working promptly and on schedule and to the final finished product. We are extremely happy with the project and would recommend this company for anyone looking for any kind of construction or renovation. Thank you Jay and Ken!

Thank you for the great review and the recommendation! It was a pleasure working with you both on your deck project. 
Meraki general contractors did an ensuite bathroom Reno for us. We are extremely happy with the results. Jason and Ken were collaborative throughout the process and responsive to any questions or concerns we had.
They were always pleasant, helpful and supportive during the process. Very competent, we highly recommend Meraki. We would work with them again. Thanks Jason and Ken.

Thanks Tracy! It was a pleasure working with you as well. We appreciate the review and recommendation. 
Meraki General Contracting transformed my home into a masterpiece that exceeded my expectations. From the initial consultation, their quoting process stood out for its professionalism, transparency, and meticulous attention to detail. Not only did they deliver within budget, but they also managed to make what could have been a stressful renovation into a remarkably smooth experience.
Ken, Jason, and their exceptional team of tradespeople demonstrated outstanding craftsmanship, reliability, and attention to detail throughout the project. Their communication was consistently clear, and their work ethic was impeccable.
What truly sets Meraki apart is their ability to combine professional expertise with personalized service. I wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone considering a home renovation, they're hands down the absolute best in the business!
Thank you for everything!! =)

Thank you Mariam for the fantastic review and recommendation! It was a pleasure to work with you on your main floor renovation project, the final product looked amazing! I hope you're enjoying your new space.Thanks again!

Thanks Alex! It's been a pleasure working with you as well. See you on the next one! 
Work was excellent...exactly as discussed. Meraki redid an upstairs bathroom and reworked a basement laundry/bathroom space. There was regular communication with the team. The work was done on time and and on budget. The referrals for materials - and the people recommended to help - were perfect. The work area was cleaned every night - making the space liveable while the work was being completed. I would definitely recommend Meraki.

Thanks Cory! It's always a pleasure working with professionals like yourself! 
We had our kitchen entirely redone. Meraki were responsible for the demolishing and the finishing: everything but the kitchen cabinets. Meraki's work was excellent, very professional. Whenever there was a glitch, the issues were resolved quickly and efficiently. We have nothing but good words to say about Meraki General Contracting and would not hesitate to use their services again.

Thank you for the great review and taking the time to write about your renovation experience. It was great working with you both! 
Meraki General Contracting recently completed a full renovation of our master bathroom ensuite. Right from the beginning and throughout, Jason and Ken were professional, responsive and offered great suggestions and ideas to truly make our vision come to life. Aaron, our subcontractor, was absolutely incredible - his attention to detail blew us away and he was so awesome to work with. We are completely in love with our new bathroom! It looks like something out of a home magazine!
Renovations can be so stressful, but Meraki really made it a wonderful experience. We would hire them again in a heart beat (and will in the future!) and will continue to sing their praises to family, friends and neighbours looking for help with their renovations. Thank you so much again guys!

Thanks you for the fantastic Review and recommendation! It was a pleasure working with you both on this project! 
We completed a renovation project this spring with Meraki that consisted of remodeling/renovating part of our main floor. From the start, we were impressed by their punctuality, responsiveness and professionalism. Nothing was paid before the work actually began and it was paid in stages during the construction process. At all points during the renovation, Ken and Jason made themselves available to answer questions/concerns. Everybody that came to work in the house always acted professionally and with care.
At the end of the process (which was completed in a reasonable time frame), we were very satisfied with the results. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend Meraki to anyone and to work with them again on our future projects. Thank you Ken, Jason and the team!

Thank you Anne-Marie! We appreciate you taking the time to review us. We hope you are enjoying your new office space. It was a pleasure working with you both. 
Amazing experience with Ken & Jason and their team (ie: Marco). Both of them were fantastic to work with. All the questions during the quotes process were answered in a timely manner. Very flexible and easy to get in contact with. Ken is professional and responsive with customer service and was always giving updates daily. Once the project started, Jason was available for questions and worries, as well as suggesting options when something didn't fit right. There was someone always at the house daily, making sure they did the work that day, and finished on time.
We couldn't be happier with the results of the kitchen, pantry, 2 bathrooms, and a power room or my experience with Meraki general contracting. Would recommend them to anyone and everyone!!
It was about an 8 week project, and was done in 2 stages, as we wanted to be back living in the house as soon as possible. Meraki delivered on time and made sure to keep on budget. We paid in stages as sections were completed.
See before and after of our kitchen and bathrooms remodel!

Thanks for the fantastic review and the recommendation! It was a pleasure to working with you through the entire process! Hope to see you again soon! 
Meraki General Contracting was great to work with. Easy to get along with, open to discuss ideas, they were here when they said they would be. The job was completed on time and on budget. We are very pleased with the work they did. We would not hesitate to recommend them for your next project.
We interviewed three General contractors and Meraki appealed to us the most. They are very professional, all of their sub trades are amazing. We are so happy with our renovation. It is gorgeous. I highly recommend them.
We used Meraki to update our bathroom. I would use them again on a heartbeat.
They were on time daily and very pleasant to work with. Any problems or changes that arose were addressed immediately and they provided great options to remedy the issue.

We recently used Meraki for an on suite bathroom renovation. The results were more than we could have hoped for! The quality of the work was outstanding , the subcontractors polite efficient and clean! Jason and Ken kept the lines of communication open and clear every step of the way, even if there were slight delays outside of their control.They also went above and beyond to help when we were having an issue with our granite countertop (not one of their subs). I found their quote was very reasonable and I would highly recommend them for any remodelling needs.
We recently had our ensuite bathroom completely gutted and remodeled and we cannot say enough amazing things about Meraki and the team of Jason, Ken and Marco. The workmanship is excellent and we are extremely happy with the finished product. Jason and Ken were easy to get ahold of and quick with knowledgeable responses. They were friendly to talk to, personable, professional and involved in the whole reno process from design to completion. The work was completed on time and on budget and with as little disturbances to our family as possible. We highly recommend Meraki's services and we look forward to working with them again on our next renovation.
