"They Exceeded All Our Expectations"

This is my third project with the Embark Homes Team. Two major condo renovations and the last an outdoor patio restoration. And as always cannot say enough about their team, the quality of the work and the confidence I have that they will get the job done to my satisfaction. Such a relief to have found a team that I really can step away and know the project is in great hands.

"They Exceeded All Our Expectations"

We worked with Embark Homes over a 7 month period to completely renovate our dream home and we could not recommend this company more highly. It's hard to write a review that expresses just how wonderful our experience was. The communication was excellent, clear, and timely. We got regular updates and were involved quickly when any problems or changes occurred. We initially had some set backs on timeline that were not in Embark's control (permits during COVID, etc.) but Embark's timeline estimates were accurate and they worked hard to finish our project within a fairly short timeline for the extent of work. We always felt their urgency in pushing our project toward the finish line. We felt Embark understood us as clients and what our priorities were, which made both budget and design discussions easier. Often, they would present us with a few quotes and could guide us through them so we felt we were getting the best price and quality balance. I felt they negotiated pricing very well and their initial budget was much more cost effective than competing companies we spoke with. We did increase the budget over the project, but this was mostly due to us adding scope to the project since we realized how excellent Embark was and no longer wanted to do anything without them. There were only a few other small, unplanned amendments to the budget that I felt were entirely reasonable and to be expected in such a large project (and which Embark did warn us should be expected so in a sense this was 'planned' for in the budgeting meetings). Embark checked in regularly to make sure we knew where we were financially and would always update us immediately when changes occurred. Josh, our project manager, was simply incredible. He was so attentive to detail and every time we noticed something that was damaged or incorrect he would already have noticed and had a solution in place. Josh is so capable and constantly impressed us. The most surprising part of the process was that it was almost never stressful, and we owe that to Josh. He worked almost too hard and cared for our home as if it was his own. We had such trust in Embark (and Josh) that we honestly just felt lucky to have their guidance, expertise, and care. It was the best decision we made. The final product is stunning are we are so happy in our new home. Thank you to everyone who had a hand in making it so wonderful for us.

"They Exceeded All Our Expectations"

Embark Homes was highly recommended by a colleague who used them for a renovation, and we hired them to build our dream home. The entire process took 12 months, and they did an exceptional job! Josh and his team worked with us from the very beginning, taking our conceptual ideas and delivering everything we asked for and more. They exceeded all of our expectations. The team truly listened to what we wanted and stayed within our budget while bringing our vision to life. Josh had wonderful ideas and was always thinking of ways to make things better and more cost-effective. He is professional, patient, and took the time to understand our needs. We can't say enough about how hard they worked to bring everything together for us. If you're looking for a contractor for new construction or a renovation, Josh and the Embark team are who you want. We can't thank them enough, they went above and beyond what we expected. A big thank you to the Embark team for making our dream home possible!
