Whole House Renovation

"Ashton Renovations did a complete renovation of our house. This was our first home renovation and we found Ashton Renovations through the internet. Naturally, we were very nervous in committing such a large project to a total stranger, but Mark's professional experience and genuine character was evident. Thankfully, Mark Ashton has not only performed excellent work, but he also gave us a genuinely happy experience.
Mark's expertise was much appreciated in making our environmentally friendly linoleum flooring with a drycore subfloor for our low height basement. We are very happy with the look, warmth, and how easy it is to clean. Ashton Renovations did an excellent job of installing the custom kitchen sink where we had trouble with two other contractors. We are also very happy with Mark's suggestion of creating an open window to the hall, which brings in a lot of natural light. We relied on Mark extensively in the design of our home and also in choosing the right materials. Ashton Renovations did a great job in the renovation from start to finish."

Ashton Renovations Did Another Great Job
"We contracted Ashton Renovations to completely redo our ensuite bathroom. This was the second time that Mark and his team did renovation work for us. Once again, Ashton Renovations carried out exceptional work. They were on time, cost conscious, and very professional. Working with Mark, and the end product, once again exceeded our expectations!”

Our kitchen is now the nicest room in the house
"We had really let our old kitchen go and knew it needed a complete renovation. When Mark first saw it, he smiled and said, "well, there's nothing to save here". As the project got underway we uncovered a few surprises that often come with renovating a 100 year old house. The worst being one of the exterior walls of the kitchen was completely rotten and needed to be replaced. Mark and Ron took it in stride and made us feel comfortable knowing they had the experience to handle the situation. Renovating is no fun but whenever problems were encountered, Mark was reassuring and we never felt overwhelmed. The end result is a kitchen we are proud of.
I made it clear upfront that I was all about the details, and the fit and finish is excellent. Throughout the process, every supplier from the electrician to the plumber to the floor refinisher showed up on time and were pleasant to deal with. We have 2 dogs and this kind of scheduling was extremely helpful. And this speaks to the number one reason why we can recommend Ashton Renovations and that's communication. Every phone call was answered by Mark (I don't ever remember getting voicemail), every email was returned the same day, and every question and concern was dealt with promptly. In the world of contracting, this is rare if not unheard of."

Ashton Renovations Delivers!
"We hired Ashton Renovations to undertake a complete renovation of our kitchen in our 90 year old home. This work involved removing the entire existing kitchen and rebuilding a new kitchen from the floor up. Extensive work was undertaken including removal of a structural wall, re-routing of plumbing, electrical and duct work, removal of asbestos and installation of new cabinets, flooring, lighting and built-in appliances.
We were extremely impressed with Mark Ashton. Mark is a thoughtful and kind person and an expert communicator. He provided us with a detailed quote for labour and supplies and focused our attention on the key issues involved in the renovation. He was able to reassure us about the project we were undertaking immediately. Mark was transparent with us about the potential issues we would encounter in undertaking an extensive renovation of a kitchen in an older home. And he was reassuring throughout the project; Mark and his team were proactive and presented mitigation strategies for our consideration whenever we encountered issues. Mark brought with him expert sub-contractors and a professional and courteous team. You could tell that everyone associated with his company did their job well and was willing to go the extra mile to deliver an excellent product. His team kept our home clean and livable despite the extensive nature of the project. Mark delivered an exceptional kitchen and stayed on budget. He made many suggestions about products we were considering from flooring to cabinets to new doors. Many of his suggestions focused on how we could make our home more environmentally friendly. Towards the end of our project Mark went beyond the call of duty and coordinated all aspects of our work with our cabinet and counter top installers.
We are more than pleased with the results, we have a charming open concept kitchen that has completed our home - and are already planning a new project with Ashton Renovations. We strongly recommend Ashton Renovations to other homeowners considering new kitchens."

Mark Ashton and Crew bring in another fantastic project
Mark and his crew built out of the nothing of a raw unfinished section of the basement a home for our new midnight blue front loading washer and dryer, creating my dream of a VanGogh inspired laundry room with sunflower yellow walls (you can see the print of VanGogh's "Irises" hanging in the picture). Despite my frequent additions to the project, as I realized it would look better if we were able to block off the view of the unfinished area that housed the furnace, and build in a door to close off the storage room, and add a shelf here and a tile floor instead of linoleum, and other numerous small and big additions, Mark brought us in pretty close to time and budget. It is an astoundingly beautiful room, and I don't think I exaggerate when I say that, as I listen to the reaction of friends when they view it for the first time. I now make it a point to go down to the basement at least once a day, whether or not I'm doing laundry, and if I'm ever feeling low, I know exactly where to go to cheer myself up.
The best thing about Mark and his crew, especially for a neatnik like me, is that at the end of every work day, the work area is left neat and tidy, and on Friday afternoons, you would not know anyone had been working there, despite the fact that this involved major renovation work. Mark also shows such attention to seemingly small detail. Because the tiles we used for the floor are square, he went out and found the most beautiful little square drain cover for the round basement floor drain in the laundry area. It is partially covered by the washer and dryer but I make a point of looking at it each time I do laundry. It exemplifies to me the care that Mark takes with every aspect of his work.

Green Alternatives
“Mark and his team were great to work with on our bathroom renovation. I particularly liked the way Mark suggested 'green' alternatives where they existed. We are very happy with the finished product.”

Ashton is tops!
"We bought our first home just over a year ago and never did we think we would buy one that required such extensive renovations, but we did, and we found ourselves looking for a contractor when I came across Mark Ashton's website. After our first meeting, we knew he was the contractor for us. He was very professional and asked questions we had never even considered. The scope of our project started out rather small but grew extensively once we began tearing down walls (we all know what these old houses can be like!). Mark, Ron & Rob were always willing to go the extra mile and consistently offered up alternatives to save on time and budget. In the end, we are in a home that we love and will continue to call Mark and his crew back to complete other projects for us in the future."

Easy Renovation
“Ashton Renovations recently completed a kitchen renovation on my 90 year old bungalow. They did a great job. Completed the job on time; stayed within my budget; gave excellent advice; started the job on schedule; were easy to reach; took great efforts to minimize the disruption to the rest of the house. If a renovation can be called easy, then this one was.”

Success each time from Ashton Renovations
"Ashton Renovations has completed two projects for us. The first was a portico replacement. The fine quality carpentry and attention to detail convinced us to have Ashton Renovations back to gut and completely replace a main bathroom in our 60 year old home. All work was completed with expert design and material recommendations. The work entailed complete removal of fixtures and walls and flooring, the installation of a whirlpool tub with elaborate shower and tap fittings along with custom made cabinetry and custom radiant heated ceramic flooring. Work was completed within a set time and the project space and surrounding areas were carefully prepared and protected against wear and damage. We recommend Ashton Renovations for high quality results."

Mark Ashton and his expert crew make it right!
"There is a popular renovator on television that urges contractors to: "Make it right!" Mark Ashton of Ashton Renovations and his expert crew do more than make it right - they make it on time, they make it professionally and they make it on budget.

If you are searching for a reliable contractor whose word is his bond, than we urge you to look no further than Ashton Renovations. Mark is, without doubt, the finest contractor we have ever employed. And when we need more work to be done on our home - big or small - Ashton Renovations will do it."

Ashton Renovations were great
“Mark's own team was extremely reliable, never failed to arrive when promised, ensured we understood each step of the process and were a pleasure to have in our home. Mark Ashton was conscientious and ensured that even supplier delays were dealt with in a professional and speedy manner - often suggesting alternative suppliers of bathroom hardware to ensure there were no untoward delays.”

Condo Renovation
"I was the (unfortunate) victim of an unscrupulous contractor. They commenced renovations on my condominium in the summer of 2007. I was unhappy with their work from the outset and we had a number of disagreements regarding the quality of work during the months of September and October. Then in mid October the contractor stormed out of my home and told me to get 'someone else' to finish the work.
I called a number of (contractors) to determine what sort of recourse I could take and none of their recommendations were satisfactory to me.
When Mark Ashton came to give me his quote I was extremely impressed. Not only did he agree with me regarding the poor quality of the original contractor's work, he carefully made suggestions that would ensure that I wouldn't continue to 'bleed money' on this project. I am not only completely satisfied with the work that Mark Ashton is doing for me, he has been the only ray of sunshine in this horrible mess."

Mark Ashton and Crew were magnificent!
"Mark Ashton and his crew came to install a stair railing we had ordered from Montreal. It was an incredibly complex piece and took three days to install. We were impressed with Mark's and his crew's ability to figure out what was clearly a very difficult piece of installation with very sketchy instructions. During the installation, we were amazed at the crew's quiet work - we almost forgot they were there, and at their clean and tidy workspace. They were prepared to remove everything at the end of each day, but we insisted they feel free to leave things. Each night they left a neat and tidy row of all their tools and equipment. Our son was starting a career in carpentry and they were helpful talking to him about what they were doing. The finished railing is just astounding."
