“Our newly-purchased century home needed a complete gut and rebuild -- both interior and some exterior -- before our family could take possession. This huge job meant we were nervous about everything, from making the millions of design decisions to paying all the bills. We couldn't have been more fortunate. Tom Cumming and his SevernWoods crew are the "dream team" of building contractors! We can't enthuse enough about how smoothly the project ran. Everything from their professionalism, attention to detail, "on the spot" creative problem solving, charming personalities, project completion timing, and the resulting quality of work combined to make this renovation a truly pleasant experience. We would recommend SevernWoods Construction without hesitation.”

“Our second floor addition never would have been possible without the contribution our contractor, SevernWoods, made in the planning stages. They were absolutely wonderful to work with during the entire project. So much so, that we asked them to do extra work, like new windows in the old part of the house, adding more insulation to our attic, increasing the weatherproofing in our garage and more. They were there every day, and on time. The workmen were pleasant, competent and absolutely reliable. We recommend this company wholeheartedly and wouldn't hesitate to hire them for any future project.”

“Our family is absolutely thrilled with the two story renovation and deck Tom and his crew did on our home this summer. The quality of workmanship is spectacular. Every single element is finished beautifully - we have had numerous compliments on the trim work alone!
At least as important to us as the finished product was the actual process. Tom was professional every step of the way – from the initial quote, to the end of the project. He had excellent input into our architect’s plans and dealt with unexpected setbacks (like a missing foundation) with ease. As our family is headed by two working parents, it was very important to us that our contractor was on top of everything and was able to make decisions and liaise with the architect and outside suppliers without a tonne of involvement on our part – and Tom fit the bill perfectly. Everything arrived on time and the work was done when we were told it would be done. It was a virtually hassle free experience for us.
The SevernWoods crew itself went well beyond professional! The house and exterior were spotless every night when we returned home from work and our neighbours were amazed at how polite and accommodating they were; from sweeping up our common passageway on a daily basis to delivering wine as a thank you for backyard access.
Overall, we cannot say enough about SevernWoods. We would recommend Tom and his team in a heartbeat!”

“Tom and his crew did a terrific job. We had committed to an ambitious renovation to gut and add to our 1920s North Toronto home. Tom dedicated a crew to our project and created a timeline that he stuck to. The addition was seamlessly integrated with our existing house to create a contemporary design that is open concept with long spans, no bulkheads and a wall of windows and doors overlooking our backyard. SevernWoods rose to the challenge and delivered on time and within budget. It was a pleasure dealing with Tom and his team.”
