“I am an architect who lives in Toronto, and I’ve worked with a number of contractors on professional projects and on personal projects - my house in Riverdale.  I was very pleased with Emerald City Design’s work on my house and will call them again for future projects.  Their approach to the work at hand is very holistic.  You might present them with a discrete problem, but they’ll thoughtfully consider the larger context and ensure that the decisions that are made will lead to a result that is built to last.  Their craftsmanship is very precise and considered, but their quotes are competitive.  They offer real value.  They’re also great, respectful guys to have in your home.”  Julie B., Riverdale

“Chris and Mike are a couple of autodidact polymaths who know an incredible amount about design and renovation. They were an invaluable resource, and were heavily involved in all aspects of the design. Moreover, they were consummate problem-solvers, who employed their impressively diverse skill-sets to maximize the space and visual impact. With their fine attention to detail, admirable professionalism, and devotion to quality, I felt comfortable leaving this project in their capable hands. With my busy schedule, it was a great relief to have such intelligent and skilled individuals on the job making so many of the key decisions. This is a totally unique duo. You won't find another company with such deep knowledge of architecture, design, history, aesthetics, building, renovation, and space. I can't recommend Emerald City Design highly enough.”  Dr. Mar, Toronto

“These guys were recommended by a friend, and they came in and with a few well-crafted renovations really improved the look of my condo. They were pleasant, fun, and had good ideas to guide the changes I wanted to make. I also felt that they were honest and volunteered ideas about cheaper options / materials that I did not know about. I trusted them fully, and as I was travelling when the renovations were made, they even came back months later to finish up a couple touches. My point: I'll be getting them to upgrade my bathroom later this year.”  Megan, Grange neighbourhood

"I have been extremely impressed with the work done by Emerald City. I have had 2 separate jobs done by this company and both times they have been completed in time and budget. Chris and Mike demonstrated exceptional experience enabling them to provide practical and aesthetical suggestions enhancing the final work. They have always been reasonable, respectful and kept the work area very clean both during and after a days work. I will definitely use them again for future work and highly recommend them to friends and family."  Anita, Toronto

"We recommend Emerald City Designs without reservation. This is our fourth house so we have been through renovations large and small and our experience with Mike and Chris was among the best. They were able to make design suggestions that have really worked for us, the work was good quality and they were very pleasant to deal with. In particular the construction knowledge and thought they brought to our job was tremendous. Punctual, on price and respectful of our home and family. We look forward to hiring them again when our next project takes shape."  Chris, Toronto

"The guys were fantastic. Courteous, tidy, professional, and did wonderful work. They have come back to make sure everything is exactly how we want it, too. We would, and have, recommend them to anyone needing a general contractor."  Timmi, Toronto
