I am happy to provide a review for the team at Lumara Homes, who did a full gut and renovation for our older home in Forest Hill, Ontario. I must say, this was an impressive project, and the team did an amazing job from start to finish.

First, let me start with the design process. They provided in-house design services, which included 3D renderings, drawings, and obtaining the necessary city permits. This made the design and planning process very smooth and efficient. The team was very professional, and they took into consideration our ideas and preferences to create a design that suited our tastes and needs.

The renovation was a full gut job, and the crew ensured that everything was done to the highest standard. The guys were very efficient and worked tirelessly to ensure that the project was completed on time. They were also very friendly and pleasant to work with. In fact, they were so easy to work with that we now feel like family!

The finished product was absolutely stunning. The luxury finishes added an extra touch of elegance to the home, and it now feels like a brand new property. The attention to detail was exceptional, and the craftsmanship was of the highest quality. We couldn’t be happier with the final outcome.

Overall, we had an excellent experience working with Lumara!!! Their professionalism, attention to detail, and commitment to delivering a high-quality end result made the entire project stress-free. We highly recommend them to anyone looking for a general contractor who is reliable, efficient, and truly cares about their clients.

Our basement renovation was a project we had been putting off for years. We hired Lumara Homes after receiving a glowing review from friends of ours that had used their services. Quality workmanship and impeccable service is what we received. Their team of professionals executed the entire basement renovation, stripping the entire area down to the foundation walls and rebuilt a gorgeous, sleek, modern space complete with guest bedroom, ensuite bath, media room and bar area. It’s an entertainer’s dream and we couldn’t be happier with the result! It’s definitely our favourite area of the house and we will definitely be hiring Lumara Homes for our next renovation project.

Strongly recommend Lumara Homes for any renovation job you are considering. We renovated 2 full bathrooms and the results were above expectation. Projects were completed on time and within budget. The mess typically encountered with such renovations was kept to a minimum and the construction team was always communicating/updating us every step of the way. Very satisfied.

Frequently Asked Questions

A custom home is the ultimate building experience for someone who has unique preferences for their residence. Building a custom home with a professional home builder allows you to decide every aspect of construction from design, to layout, finishes and materials. Meanwhile, a regular home comes with a standard design and doesn’t come with as many options for materials customization.

Hiring a custom home builder takes the stress out of a major home renovation. Your project manager is your main point of contact. They will handle the construction timeline, tradespeople scheduling, and handling feedback from you during the renovation process. Custom home builders are experienced, creative and unafraid to tackle your most complex desires. They also handle all of your permits and zoning queries from the local authorities.

You should interview at least three custom home builders before you make your choice. Have a list of questions prepared and ensure that you feel good chemistry between you and the contractor because you’ll be working together for an extended time. Always ask for references and make sure that your desired company is fully licensed and insured. Talk about your budget with the contractor and ask how they handle unexpected costs and overages. When you’re ready to start building your custom home, contact Lumara Homes. We’ll be happy to help answer all your questions and start the planning process with you.

The timeline for building custom homes in Toronto depends on factors like size, complexity, weather, labour availability, and construction efficiency. Typically, obtaining permits and completing the home takes 6-8 months. However, construction of a single-family home in Toronto averages 8-12 months. The initial stages include permits, design, and site preparation. Then, the foundation, framing, roofing, plumbing, electrical work, and insulation are completed. Later stages involve interior finishing like painting, flooring, cabinetry, and fixtures. Inspections and adjustments precede project completion. Unforeseen delays due to weather, labour/material shortages, or design changes can prolong the timeline. Winter/fall builds may experience delays due to ice/snow.

Clients have the flexibility to request design changes during the construction process, but it’s important to consider the implications for the project timeline and cost. These changes, known as change orders, require careful consideration:

Feasibility: Feasibility depends on the construction stage and the extent of the proposed changes. Some modifications are easier to accommodate, while others may require significant adjustments or restarting certain phases.

Communication: Timely communication of desired changes to the builder or contractor is crucial for effective planning and minimizing disruptions.

Timeline Impact: Design changes can affect the construction timeline, requiring additional time for planning, rework, or material procurement. Builders assess the impact and provide an updated timeline.

Cost Implications: Changes may impact project costs, including materials, labour, design fees, or even demolition and reconstruction expenses. Discussing cost implications with the builder helps understand the financial impact.

Documentation: Documenting changes through written change orders ensures clarity on modifications, costs, and timeline adjustments, and potentially minimizes any future disputes.

In Toronto, the Tarion Warranty Corporation, authorized by the Ontario government, governs the standard builder’s warranty under the Ontario New Home Warranties Plan Act. This warranty applies to new homes in Toronto and consists of the following components:

  1. One-Year Warranty: Covers workmanship and material defects for the first year after home completion. Includes electrical, plumbing, heating systems, doors, windows, and caulking.
  2. Two-Year Warranty: Covers major systems like plumbing, electrical, and heating, and provides building envelope protection against water penetration.
  3. Seven-Year Warranty: Covers major structural defects, including load-bearing components, ensuring compliance with the Ontario Building Code requirements.

It’s crucial to note that the builder is responsible for addressing warranted issues during the specified warranty periods. Homeowners should directly contact the builder to report concerns or defects covered by the Tarion warranty. Familiarizing oneself with the specific details and limitations of the Tarion warranty is recommended, as they may vary based on circumstances and home type.

We also provide Lumara Home Care, which is a customized service for maintenance, repairs, and add-ons during the construction process. It includes regular inspections, maintenance of various systems like HVAC, plumbing, and electrical, exterior care, and ensuring home security and safety. Learn more about Lumara Home Care here.
