Mike and team are incredible. Very high end finishing touches and solid work all round. They did our entire ground floor on time and on budget. Don't hesitate.Posted on Carl SpitzerTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Mike de Blois brought our designs to life and created a beautiful home for us. He and the team have an attention to detail that is impressive. Our full house renovation in mid town Toronto is now complete and we are very pleased.Posted on cristina popTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Michael is very skilled as a general contractor and has an honest, responsible character. Going through a renovation always has its stressful or overwhelming moments. You want to be in those moments with someone you trust is doing their best, and whose best assures a standard of excellence. This is Michael and his team. Throughout the building of our home, he and his team were wonderful to us as well as our neighbours. They took great care in the price quotations to ensure we scale the project to something we can afford. They matched their quote during post-Covid times, when prices were fluctuating and the market was difficult to predict. They worked with quality materials and did a great job aesthetically as well as functionally in our home. I cannot recommend this team enough. All the best in your renovation.Posted on Chris CurryTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Mike and the entire de Blois Built (“DBB”) Team were our contractor for an extensive full house renovation in Toronto that was completed in July 2024. Like any large and complex construction project it is all about the “Team”. DBB was nothing short of excellent throughout the years leading up to construction start, all the way until completion and thereafter. Their collaborative approach with Architects, Designers, Subtrades, etc., is what truly differentiates them from the crowd as they repeatedly came to the table with effective solutions to any issue that may have arisen. More importantly though, Mike and his team would proactively suggest design or cost-effective alternatives for consideration throughout the life of the project that in hindsight, now living in our house for a year, was true game changer on how small suggestions has produced big benefits and flow for our family’s needs. I would be more than happy to recommend Mike & DBB services to anyone considering a major (or minor) renovation or new build. Regards. Chris CurryPosted on Sarah HendersonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Mike and his de Blois Built team’s skill, craft, attention to detail and design, as well as a solutions based approach not only brought our architect’s plans to life, but also made the experience of renovating our home an enjoyable one. Not to mention, Mike delivers on his promises, is always adding value and is an absolute pleasure to deal with. In fact, his whole team is a pleasure and it’s clear that they enjoy what they do. Thank you Mike and team for all your ideas, attention and hard work. We love our house!!! Sarah & Griff H. Hibou HousePosted on Chris WalcottTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We share this experience from a different perspective than a client, and we were and are very pleased working with de Blois. We are a subcontractor for plumbing mechanical AC irrigation installs and service. We have been in business for over 60 years and worked with many different contractors, those that truly care for their product and provide a great work culture are few and far between. De Blois definitely joins this club of selective contractors.Posted on Christine McNicolTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We couldn't be more pleased with our experience working with Mike and his team. First in 2015 to underpin and renovate our basement. Then in 2021 for a complete renovation and extension on the rest of our home. On both projects, from start to finish, the communication was absolutely incredible, keeping us informed every step of the way. The workmanship was excellent, showcasing the skill and dedication they put into every detail. When it came to budgeting and costs, everything was transparent, with no surprises—just honest, clear information. Mike himself is a standout guy—his attention to detail, kindness, and work ethic are unmatched. He listened to our needs, was attentive to every aspect of the project, and made sure everything was completed on time. We highly recommend Mike and de Blois Built for any project!Posted on SKONA Design IncTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
