Project Description
Location: Danforth Semi detached
Surface Area: 2000 Square Feet
Year Completed: 2019
Duration: 5 months
This couple just recently had a second child and had NO room, NO closets, an old kitchen and these two horrible support posts on the main floor that made it impossible for any furniture to be properly placed. We discussed many options, keeping the budget in the forefront, but a two story rear addition was the only option .
Since we’ve been building and designing our own projects for many years, space planning has become one of our specialties. Even the smallest spaces can be utilized and put to good use. This planning was critical in this home. We re-trimmed and painted the three front bedrooms on the second floor and built a large master bedroom with a walk-in closet and master ensuite in the new rear addition.
The re-design of the main floor and elimination of the support posts, allowed for a large kitchen with an island, large kitchen pantry and a spacious living/dining area. the new nine foot double patio doors exit to an spacious outdoor patio with glass railings that our customers love.
Minimal work was completed in the basement since the budget did not allow however, we managed to eliminate that “old” basement feel. We stripped out all the old interior walls adding new insulation and drywall, built a new four piece washroom and new laundry room and renovated the old bedroom and recreation room.
Feel free to contact our customers, let them tell you how happy they are.

We love our new home! We lived in a 1000 square foot bungalow in Etobicoke, and we hired Michelle... and Albert to gut the main floor and add a second story and a garage. Our project was on time (approx 7 months) and on budget, which were our main concerns when choosing our contractor. Considering the challenges that AM faced (such as pandemic related labour and material shortages) they were still able to achieve this impressive timeframe! From framing to finishes, all the trades were wonderful to work with, and the quality / craftsmanship of the work exceeded our expectations. Both Albert and Michelle always strived to make us happy, because they really care about what their clients want. We are now so proud of our home; we would certainly recommend A.M. Pro Builders to anyone considering a major home renovation, they don't disappoint!read more

From the very beginning of the process with Michelle and Albert, it was clear to us that they... genuinely cared about us as people (not just clients), and they cared about their projects. They took the time to learn about the issues with our property, our immediate needs, growing needs and our 'dream-home' wish list. They presented us with a variety of ideas and options and helped us focus in on a design that ticked as many boxes as possible. Throughout the process they answered our questions, guided us with decision making and demonstrated some really creative problem solving (like tunneling through our garage to access the back of the property).The end result maximized the uniqueness of our property, increased the usability of our yard, gave us peace of mind and ultimately transformed our day-to-day living. We can't recommend them highly enough.read more

If you are considering renovating your home, working with Michelle and Albert is the best choice... you can make! When we first made the decision to do a major renovation on our home, we contacted multiple companies but after meeting with Michelle and hearing their inclusive plan and competitive pricing, we knew that AM Pro was the best company for us to move forward with. Unlike the other companies that we met with, AM Pro took care of everything we needed, including architectural drawings and submitting the necessary permits. Michelle was there every step of the way to help design our new home and Albert worked closely with the various workers to execute our plan. Our contract laid out a clear payment plan which made it easy to budget throughout the building process. At first, we were nervous about renovating during COVID-19 and having to choose finishes with many store closures and reduced in person meetings. Michelle was able to help us choose all of our finishes in person and online and we had a group chat for constant communication. Our project was finished on time which is pretty miraculous considering it was done during a pandemic with so many supply shortages. We could not be more thrilled and cannot believe it is the same house. Michelle and Albert are so knowledgeable, detail oriented and will do an amazing job on any project but more importantly, they are kind and truly care about their clients. Thank you so much for renovating our house and building a home for our family!read more

I contacted Albert at AM Pro Builders to help us with our renovation. Turned out the scope was too... small for them. In my phone conversation with Albert he walked me through considerations for choosing the right contractor and followed up with a detailed contract I could use. He was professional and extremely helpful. Should we do a larger renovation in the future, we will contact this company first!read more

We recently did a second floor addition and main floor gut of our home with AM pro. Albert and... Michelle made the renovation so easy and stress free and we are absolutely thrilled with our new home.Albert and Michelle stayed on budget and on time, even despite the co vid pandemic we finished our renovation 2 weeks early!Albert and Michelle are both incredibly attentive to details. They work very hard and expect the best of all their tradespeople. Every aspect of our house was thought out and they made sure to help us create a home where we can live and enjoy watching our children grow up.Any time something unexpected would come up they were on it. They return calls promptly and would have someone at the house the next day to fix whatever needed fixing. They also stand by their work and so, even when an issue arose after we were already moved in, they were quick to send someone out to fix it.Not only are Albert and Michelle good workers, they are also good people. They understand how stressful renovating can be and were kind and empathetic and worked the whole time to make the experience as stress free as possible for us.I would highly recommend AMPro builders for all your renovation and general contractor needs. We love that they helped us turn our house into our forever home 🏡.read more

We contracted AM Pro (Albert & Michelle) to remodel our home. Ours is an old 100+ yr property so... remodelling and building an extension around an old foundation was not easy. The AM Pro team did a good job of following the design and making recommendations along the way to build out exactly the way we wanted. Overall we are very pleased with the end result and would recommend AM Pro for any construction project. Both Albert and Michelle were very professional and easy to work with.I'd like to add, they provide excellent service as well. We had a gas issue over the weekend and both Michelle and Albert stopped by to make sure it was not the appliances or the lines installed in the house. Helped eliminate all possible causes. It turned out to be an issue with the gas company installed meter and regulator. Thank you both!read more

We hired Michelle and Albert to convert our bungalow into a 2 story dream home in 2016. They... exceeded our expectations. Not only was the build completed on time but they also stayed on budget (both which are not that common in the Reno field as I have learned from friends and neighbours undergoing renovations). I would recommend them to anyone planning on doing a renovation as they were both professional, approachable and collaborative with any ideas we had in regards to the home.read more

We worked with Albert and Michelle to renovate our semi in Riverdale in June - December 2018. We... have 2 young children and we had to live in apartment during the renovation, where we gutted the main and basement and put on a 2 story + basement addition. Our biggest worries were budget and timeline. Albert and Michelle delivered on time and on budget. I was really impressed that things stayed on time even with a few minor set backs.Now that we have been living in the home for almost a year we couldn’t be happier with our decision to renovate with AM Pro Builders.read more
