Home Guru Inc.

HomeGuru was great to work with--the online system was an easy way to communicate with people and we're so pleased with the results.

We felt very lucky to work with such a great company! The owners Aaron and Justin, and Ian our project manager assigned to our renovation were nothing short from professional, honest, patient and friendly. A quality that stood out to us was they all had high integrity. They valued doing things right, with high quality and standards to their work and work ethic. If something wasn't done properly, to their standard, or any other issue that came up, it was addressed asap and corrected/resolved. I took on the job of being our designer, thus had a relatively steep learning curve. They were outstanding with their patience and time that was required to help guide and tell me what was needed. We also loved working with their flooring/staircase supplier/contractor and one of their kitchen company's they recommended to be a good fit for us. We LOVE our new home and are very happy. Highly recommend Home Guru :)

Aaron, Justin and Ian were fantastic. We had a small(ish) project to redo a bathroom. In the planning stage they proposed excellent suggestions to enhance our original ideas. They worked with us upfront to set all expectations so there were no surprises as the project went along. As issues arose (as they always do!) they communicated them clearly and handled them promptly and professionally (and fairly). Great quality of work - we're thrilled with the end result. Happy to work with them anytime.

At a high level, our project consisted in - a kitchen remodel - removal of a load bearing wall - changing a rear window into a french door - redoing the flooring throughout the main floor. We selected Home Guru after meeting with 5 different contractors and we are very happy with our selection. Aaron and Justin are honest, hard-working, dependable and professional. Our site manager, Ian, was also great to work with. They guided us throughout the whole project, made great recommendations when we were unsure about our options. The project overall went very well. Within the timelines that were discussed originally and within budget that was agreed to. The site was kept clean. They use an application that helps manage communication with everyone (CoConstruct) and for me that was actually a great way to have all communications and information in one place. It made exchanges quick and everyone was in the loop at the same time. I would definitely use them again for renovations in our house and have no problem recommending them to anyone who is looking to do renovations in their home. Thank you Home Guru for giving us a great experience with our home renovation.

It was a pleasure working with Home Guru Inc. They respected the work schedule and worked collaboratively with us to address our concerns as they arise. They are very professional and delivered a quality job. We are not giving a 5 stars just because they forgot in the estimation to include a major line item, and we ended up with a 26% over budget. We would highly recommend Home Guru Inc. Agnes & Athanase

We have worked with Home Guru twice now on two major renovations to our 4000 sq ft home. Aaron and Adam and Justin are running a seriously professional operation. The planning and attention to detail that goes into each project, I believe is a key factor to the success of their work. They offer a very user friendly online system which will keep you informed of their progress and show you exactly where money is being spent. They are very knowledgeable, they're there when you need them and they stand by their work. If you're thinking of building a custom home or doing a large renovation, these are the people you've been looking for. Give them a call and they will work with you to make your vision a reality, and they'll make it a great experience along the way.

Aaron and Justin are knowledable professionals who won't steer you wrong. Even with zero experience working with contractors I had a gut feeling upon meeting the gurus that they would be the ones to help me bring my long held dream to reality. My home is now beautiful, functional, and customized to suit my less than average size. I've settled into my new space for about a week now and continue to marvel at how great everything turned out. Logistically, the project was on budget with no hidden costs or surprises and went smoothly even with a couple of COVID delays. As a testament to their relationships with their trade partners they were able to call in alternative providers to minimize any project disruptions. The completion actually ended up on my birthday so now each year I will have two things to celebrate! In the brief but intense relationship formed during the project, communication is definitely key. The app they use was great at keeping track of all the details and timings of the project. For general messaging there might have been some kinks as written words were misinterpreted or misunderstood. We had our moments certainly but it is without hesitation that I recommend Aaron and Justin. For most of my life I've been told to only reach and settle for good enough, in this instance I wanted the best and found it with Home Guru. I entrusted them with my renovation dreams and if you are lucky enough to work with them they will help you realize yours too.

We highly recommend Home Guru! Justin, Aaron and team are true professionals with incredible knowledge, experience and know-how to get the job done right! This was our first major renovation on this 100+ year old house and there was a lot to worry about. However, we felt confident from the start that we were in good hands with Home Guru and indeed we were right! They met every challenge with an elegant solution that fit well within our budget. How they estimate is brilliant! It allowed us to select quality options for all finishings, fixtures, etc., with room to spare! It enabled allowances for the unforeseen increases in project scope, and also, as it turned out, for our non-urgent fix ups, long overdue. We were so grateful for a budget that allowed this! All the additional items added to the project scope were possible within our budget because of how the original estimate was done. They finished our basement and completely redid our kitchen, which we love!! Our kitchen is stunning and our favourite room now! Wall repair in the entryway, up the staircase and the second floor hallway (an additional scope item) has transformed that space to be so fresh and bright! Communication and budget tracking in the app throughout the project was also brilliant and provided much peace of mind. We could see in real time where our budget was at, with every invoice, expense and change-order upload. We could make spending decisions with confidence. All the trades they work with are respectful, professional and very knowledgeable - just like them! Thank you Justin, Aaron, Ian and Adam for a brilliant job well done!

We were planning a complete renovation of the main floor of our single family house and we contacted about 15 companies. We found Home Guru on Houzz and were immediately impressed with Justin and Aaron. We signed an agreement in early September 2021 and quickly agreed scope, schedule and budget – and Justin and Aaron guided us through the item selection process and the various decisions to be made. Work commenced ahead of schedule in late October and the job was finished ahead of schedule and on budget in only 2 months despite the many supply chain challenges and various additions to the scope – and Justin and Aaron were super responsive and provided guidance throughout. I am recommending Home Guru to all my friends and family and will use them again if we need to do another renovation.

Aaron and Justin were willing to work with us right from the beginning make our kitchen renovation ideas from no more than a few sketches. They kept to their overall timeline and were transparent and built a good relationship with skilled and respectful tradespeople. It made the overall renovation process relatively pain free.

Home Guru has been a fantastic partner and has never failed to provide the team here at Bin There Dump That a fantastic experience when it comes to working on projects together. Providing bins to their job sites has always been done in a timely fashion thanks to Home Guru's excellent coordination and communication. We look forward to many more bin deliveries to your job sites. Sydney McCutcheon (Bin There Dump That GTA)

Aaron was great at the pitch. He came, priced us. He met the timing goals and was quite helpful. Once installed, it was crooked and uneven and did not address this concern. He said it basically is to much work to fix. I have had many friends ask me who did the work on my new home with the kitchen he installed. I would not recommend. I have now hired someone to fix this and it has costed me additional money. Which after the amount I spent on the original. Is not a good price after all. And a headache not worth it.

We worked with Home Guru on a renovation of our townhouse. We had two sets of closet doors installed, we had carpeting replaced with engineered hardwood, and we had carpet removed and wood clad over three sets of stairs. We are very happy with the end product. Everything looks great and is good quality. Will definitely work with Home Guru again.

Completed a shingle replacement on house and garage. Very communicative, especially since weather was unpredictable and project had to be rescheduled a few times. Estimate was accurate. Friendly, amenable to requests, made sure to return ASAP when some small parts of the job needed additional attention. Made helpful recommendations regarding possible existing problems created by previous roofers/homeowners so that we knew to anticipate any additional costs, though fortunately problems did not happen after all.

We HIGHLY recommend Home Guru. They just finished our backyard oasis and we couldn't be happier! The deck they planned is beautiful and expertly built. They have a team who clearly takes pride in their work and always look for the best way to do things. We are so excited to entertain in our new backyard! We would definitely use them again and recommend then to everyone.

We just finished a full-basement renovation and couldn't be happier with the results. The attention to detail was amazing and all the crew coming in and out through the project were great to work with. Aaron and Justin kept us informed of the processes along the way and quickly answered the many questions we had through the process. Would totally recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable and friendly crew for renovations!

Home Guru team are absolutely great! Extremely professional, attentive and went above and beyond to make sure we were satisfied. They remodelled two of our bathrooms and the kitchen bar. We were absolutely very impressed. Aaron and Justin were so great and helpful. They helped us pick out the tiles, fixtures, plumbing and made recommendations for suppliers. All the work was done with as little mess and inconvenience to us as possible. Whatever issues we may have had, they were few and minor, were immediately resolved. Every bit of their work met or exceeded our expectations. I wholeheartedly recommend Home Guru with no reservations.

Justin and Aaron recently oversaw the installing of a sump pump, drainage system, and repairs of structural damage in the basement, including new doors that had to be special ordered for a tiny basement entrance. Justin and Aaron, and all the trades people who worked on the house at different times, were knowledgeable, efficient, respectful and tidy. The project was completed within budget, and on time -- there were no surprises. When, as the project was under way, I considered making some changes, they were flexible and helpful in providing quotes fast as well as useful information to consider. Any time I had questions, they responded within hours or sooner, whether by text, phone, email, or dropping by if needed. I particularly appreciated how knowledgeable they are and how readily they shared that knowledge in plain language, to help me make the most informed decisions. Everything they say and do makes sense. I am grateful for the process and the final product!

We hired the Gurus to renovate our master bathroom. The end result exceeded our expectation as the quality of delivery was near perfection. The difference can truly seen when care is taken with methodical planning and craftsmanship. There isn’t a single person who’s seen our completed project and hasn’t said “your bathroom should be featured in a magazine” Our project was a true partnership with the Gurus as opposed to a typical hire a contractor and “hope for the best”. We recommend Home Gurus without hesitation.

We just had our kitchen completely renovated by Home Guru and they did a fantastic job! Justin, Aaron, and their team were extremely professional, knowledgeable, and very polite. We had the kitchen gutted, removed a wall, and had new floors, cabinets, and countertops put in. They kept us on budget and within our timeline and communicated with us the entire way. We would highly recommend Home Guru to anyone looking to renovate their home.

We had a bathroom completely renovated, new floors installed throughout and laundry moved to the second floor. Very impressed with the quality of work and ability to meet my budget and needs as promised. Friendly, professional and super knowledgeable!

Home Guru just completed a full bathroom renovation in our downtown condo. We love the finished product!. Working with Justin and Aaron was a pleasure. They were professional and accessible at all times. They helped us when necessary make the best decisions possible regarding our project. They stayed within the parameters of their estimate and there were no hidden costs. The various trades they employed to do the specialized work were to a man, and woman, excellent at their specific skills and always pleasant to have around. The crew kept our furnishings and flooring damage free by covering everything, blocking off rooms where they could and keeping heavy tarps on the floors. Each evening everything was put back into place and swept clean. The result is a beautiful new bathroom with great workmanship that we will enjoy for many years to come.

Home Guru did a fabulous job on our bathroom. The bathroom had to be taken right back to the studs and re-built. Home Guru did the design and the full renovation. Justin and Aaron stayed on top of the job. They were on site or in communication regularly. All their workmen and subcontractors were professional, friendly and did a great job. They always left the site clean at the end of the day (which wasn't easy to do in our small house) and they handled all the surprises that are inevitable once you start tearing into walls in an old downtown Toronto house. I would happily recommend Home Guru to anyone planning a home renovation. They are fantastic!

We were very anxious about our kitchen reno; we were going from an 80s kitchen to the new world. Aaron and his team was fantastic. They consulted and guided us all the way. On time and on budget with very little disruption. Thank you all Keena and Paresh

We had a great experience with the Home Guru Team. They were professional, respectful, flexible and got the job done in the time line they said it would be done. We get compliments on our space everyday. We had a vision of what we wanted the space to look like and we are thrilled to say that it came out even better then we expected. Thank you so much Aaron, Justin and the Home Guru team for a job well done. It was a pleasure working with you.

Justin and Aaron are amazing individuals who take pride in their work. They value their customers and take care of them from start to finish. At Home Guru they work with the highest level of professionalism and achieve beautiful work for their clients. We love working alongside Home Guru for their projects and we look forward to many more.

If you are searching for a home renovator who you can trust, really trust, which is a rarity, I would strongly recommend using The Home Guru. Aaron and Justin are honest, hard-working and extremely intuitive, a value really important in home renovation when unexpected events arise. If you are reading this, you have no reason to look elsewhere for a home renovation company. You will be treated with respect, integrity, honesty and with top notch workmanship.

I have referred Home Guru to many client's and they all have been very thankful. Home Guru provides my clients with peace of mind during a time which could otherwise be stressful. Thank you guys for taking such good care of The Graff Girls clients.

I had an extensive renovation that requires a very tight budget for a very large space and I had 6 weeks to complete it. Home Guru came through in clutch.

The Gurus were great from the start. Showed up on time and were thorough in gathering all the information needed to create a comprehensive estimate that barely changed when it came time to pay the bill. This was a nice change from our last contractor that did work for us and the estimate almost doubled when it came time to bill. Once everything was agreed on, they showed up and immediately got to work. The only delay was waiting on the new cabinets to come in, which was the manufacturers issue. They have a carpenter that works for them that is absolutely excellent and he played a big role in our overall satisfaction. I will be recommuthem to friends and family. Very happy with the work . Finished product looks great.

Home Guru Inc are my heroes! They did what most people would say is impossible: my reno was on budget, on time, and successful all around. My needs were diverse and they accepted the challenge. My basement was waterproofed, remodelled, drain replaced, sump pump... as well as porch railing replaced and detached garage re-roofed and re-enforced. I had never done a reno and I'm a single woman - but their crew were polite, professional and not at all condescending. I highly recommend Home Guru Inc!

We originally approached Aaron and Justin about doing a kitchen and bathroom reno at our 100-year old house. From the first moment I contacted them, they were incredibly responsive to all of my questions (which were many!). Leading up to the signing of our renovation contract, it never took more than a few hours for them to get back to me with any question, and that trend continued on throughout the entire renovation. As we had an older home, of course the kitchen and bathroom renovation mushroomed into a much larger project, but Aaron and Justin were consummate professionals throughout the entire process. Our budget and timeline barely increased from what they originally quoted us for, and they were very faithful to stick as best they could to the original budget we discussed. We had regular updates on how things were going, what they were costing, and regular invoices for installment payments. Originally the project was supposed to go on for 6 weeks, but by my estimation came in at about 8 weeks all told - which is insanely fast, considering we added HVAC work, subfloor repairs, and an entire second floor to our renovation scope. They regularly worked on weekends and late into the evening to get our project done as soon as possible. We were able to live in our home for most of the renovation solely because of how clean, neat, and respectful they and all their subcontractors were of our space. I would work with them again in a heartbeat. I think this was probably the least stressful renovation in the history of the world, as they just made everything so easy. Our home is completely gorgeous now, all thanks to their hard work and design suggestions. If you're thinking about renovating anything, call them today!

The project was managed to my total satisfaction, from design to actual completion, in less than the originally planned schedule. The tradesmen were high quality, punctual, respectul and above all - excellent professional workers. It has been indeed a privilege to work with Aaron Zon and his team and I can wholeheartedly recommend Home Guru - will definitely use them myself for any future projects. Keep up the good work.

Home Guru was a pleasure to work with. They completed a renovation of our living/dining room and installed custom cabinets within the quoted time and price. Justin and Aaron were attentive and responsive and the quality of their work was excellent. I would recommend Home Guru without hesitation.

Working with Home Guru to replace our front porch was great. They were professional, friendly and efficient. The process and results exceeded my expectations. I would highly recommend them!

Home Guru was possibly the best contractor experience we've ever had. They were timely; their estimate was accurate; communication and updates were super helpful; everyone on their team was pleasant to work with; and, the quality of the work was excellent.

As you can well image having a kitchen renovation is very scary. We had our kitchen completely renovated in March 2018 It was a complete breeze with Aaron and Justin of Home Guru. The renovation did not go over budget. It was completed right on schedule. Aaron and Justin were a pleasure to work with and had wonderful ideas. I had a bulk head removed and wondered where I would put everything that was in it. But Aaron created kitchen cabinets that would accommodate all that I owned. I would high recommend Aaron and Justin for any home renovation. I can hardly wait for our next project. Ian & Janice James, Pickering, Ontario.

I have worked with Home Guru on a number of projects over the last couple years. They are tirelessly professional and an absolute pleasure to be around. Every hiccup is met with a can do attitude and they stand behind their work. I have recommended them to clients looking for contractors and will continue to do so.

As a plumber I have worked with many contractors. The gurus are by far my favourite contractor to work for. They are extremely professional from beginning to end. My work goes smooth because they always have everything prepped and ready for me. I have been working for them for a while, and I have never gone more than 48 hours without getting paid. It's always a pleasure working for them.

If what you need is a fast professional service from home automation kitchen and bathroom renovation, new deck or fence these guys are the right guys. With a team of supporting professionals to handle every part of the project. The Guru Team has a eye on detail that sets them apart from other contractors and I highly recommend anyone to consult with GURU Inc. for your next renovation.

Aaron and Justin took care of my kitchen renovation. From our first conversation over the phone, they offered excellent customer service by giving me an overview of the process. They both came for a first visit, took measurement, listened to what I'd like and offered great feedback, and shared their product selection. They provided me with a plan and quote within one week. Aaron has just been fantastic, great with communication by responding to my questions in a timely manner, patient as this was my first reno and very knowledgeable. His team was also very respectful and met the timelines. Now my kitchen is done and exactly how I had envisioned it! Thanks to Aaron and Justin! It's been pleasant experience and I'd use Home Guru again.

I hired Aaron & Justin to install custom built-in cabinetry in my living room. The job involved removal of an old chunky mantel, replacing it with marble, cleaning the fireplace and installing a blower to make it more functional, installing new speaker system, as well as floor to ceiling, wall-to-wall custom cabinets. They were very fair and reasonably priced, honest and hard working. Aaron was my main contact and he was a pleasure to work with, always courteous, responsive and addressing any concerns/questions I had through the process. Justin is a whiz with anything "techie" related, I knew I could trust him with the installation of the new speakers, and remounting of the tv, etc. The cabinets turned out exactly as I had hoped, and I'm so happy with the finished product! I would absolutely recommend Home Gurus to anyone looking for cabinetry in their home.

I am very happy with the kitchen that was installed by Home Guru. The attention to detail and pride of workmanship truly separates this company from others.

Home Guru knows their stuff. The team, Aaron and Justin rock! They showed up on time and within a week of putting my request in. Helped me with my challenges and provided me with some great solutions. I have a control 4 system that was driving me nuts and Justin made it easy for me to navigate. Thanks guys.

I used Home Guru to build my backyard fence. They completed the large job in 4 short days, and it turned out beautifully! The design was exactly as planned, they showed meticulous attention to detail, and my yard was left in great shape! I highly recommend them!

We hired Aaron and Justin from the Houzz website after reading the reviews . The professional, suggestions and patience was exactly what we where looking for in a contractor. The kitchen Reno was completed on time and the job site was always clean at the end of each day. I have suggested them to neighbours on the street and would suggestion them to anyone that is looking for a contractors. The bonuses was they are really nice guys

We have used Home Guru several times now and I would not use anyone else! They are by far the most reliable and dependable company we have ever dealt with. They take such pride in their work and are client focused - working so hard to ensure the job is done exceptionally well. They are also creative and think outside the box and indulge our unusual request (ie a special dog gate). Everyone we have dealt with at Home Guru has been professional, trustworthy and extremely capable. We are thrilled that we found a company like Howm Guru and can't wait for our next project!

Very professional and courteous. They started the job the day they said they would and finished in good time. There were no hidden charges and they did a fantastic job! I would highly recommend Home Guru Inc.

Aaron did a great job on our kitchen and living room. We were kept apprised of the progress at all time. Very nice to work with.

These guys were exactly what we needed to build and install new bedroom closet spaces. They provided knowledgeable insights and options based on our stated needs, and they stayed on budget. They were also on time and accommodating to our busy schedules.

Aaron and Justin help me with my condo kitchen that was 18 years old. They came up with some great suggestions - and help solve my storage problems. They were great at keep me informed on the status of the project - and were prompt and professional - on time and budget I appreciated the quick communication whenever i had a question.

From the first day we contacted Home Guru, they were responsive, highly competent, and reliable. Our project was a new build and they took the time to work with us to design a home automation system that fit both our needs and budget. Their installation skills, foresight, and troubleshooting are top-notch. Their level of service is fantastic and these guys really take pride in their work. In the months following the completion of the project, they have remained as responsive and reliable as the first day, which is a testament to the pride they take in their work. We carry pretty high standards and it's very hard to find companies that provide the level of personalized service that Home Guru does! We would definitely recommend Home Guru to anyone looking for any level of home automation.

Great new kitchen! Home Guru fully managed the project. I didn't have to do a thing. Cupboards were manufactured within 3 weeks of picking them and one week to install the entire kitchen. It looks awesome! Great style, storage and workmanship

Normally, I'm reluctant to give anyone a 5-star rating since there's always something that could have been done better, but I'm going out on a limb for Aaron and Justin for their creativity. We had an annoying vent running up through our kitchen, which was eating up valuable space in our kitchen. The guys managed to find a really smart work around that covered it up and gave us extra counter space and cupboards. We got a great looking kitchen customized to our unique space at a fair price. They didn't push a bunch of useless upgrades on us and got the job done on-time and on-budget. What truly impressed me was the customer service after they completed the job... our soap dispenser was leaking and the guys sent us a replacement days after I called to notify them of the issue. Pros: - Creative design - Professional / friendly service - On-time and on-budget Cons: - None on this job

We really enjoyed working with Aaron and Justin of Home Guru Inc. on our kitchen renovation and are thrilled with the results! They helped us to make our space more open, modern and functional. They listened to what we wanted and helped us work out the details of how to get there. As with any renovation, especially one where you are opening up and taking down walls, there were some surprises and setbacks, but Aaron and Justin worked diligently to help us attain our goals and try to stay within our budget. The thing we appreciated most about Home Guru was that we felt they were trustworthy and were always trying to do things in our best interest. We were never worried that they were trying to rip us off, cut corners, or give us the run around. They were reachable and easy to communicate with. One of their areas of expertise is in "smart" home automation, which we decided to incorporate into our reno. We adore the programmed lighting that adds to the mood of our space. Our favourite elements would be the in-ceiling speakers that we've added to the kitchen, living room, bedroom and backyard. We can now play or stream music all over house depending on our location and mood. Music is a big part of our lives and has become a part of our children's lives as well. Our new open-concept kitchen has improved the flow of our house and the overall feeling of the space. The kitchen looks beautiful and the cabinets and countertops are of high quality. We would highly recommend Home Guru to all our family and friends!!
