I picked Menno S. Martin because I was told by a number of people that they were dependable and did good work. I was also advised by the same people that they were on the expensive side. I was willing to pay the premium for dependability and good workmanship and they delivered. I would definitely recommend them. My renovation was hassle free even in the midst of a pandemic.

Top quality work from from the Menno team and from all of their subcontractors. Excellent communication about the progress of the job: we always knew what to expect. The renovation was completed on budget, and exceeded our highest expectations. We will absolutely use Menno S. Martin for our next renovation.

I would definitely recommend Menno S Martin for any job and have done so on numerous occasions. They have exceeded our expectations in quality, professionalism, flexibility and price.

Menno S. Martin lived up to its reputation as being professional and competent throughout the entire process from planning to implementation. We knew what to expect at each stage of the process, and appreciated their accommodation of our living circumstance during the renovation. All of the staff who worked on the project, especially the two Jeffs, Stuart, Janet and Ron, we found to be responsive to our requests and delivered high quality workmanship in their respective jobs. Thank you. Thank you also to Trudy, office staff who was efficient and helpful. Stephen, the project supervisor was always ready to assist with suggestions during planning and solving unexpected problems that appeared in our 1863 house during the work period. The project was completed close (reasonable) to the estimated time and within the budget we were given, with minor adjustment for unexpected problems.

We have nothing but great things to say about our experience. Not only was the team beyond professional and talented, their personal skills are top notch. We have two young children, and the crew made sure to include them in everything they could. It really made the renovation that much more important to them, and is now such a positive memory. Would recommend to anyone, for any job.

You just can’t match the quality of their craftsmanship and their excellent customer service. We are very happy clients.

I thoroughly enjoyed working with Menno Martin! The project manager found issues in my basement that I wasn't aware of, which were impacting the structural integrity of my home. They made recommendations that made the project run smoother and ensured that all aspects of the project met building code standards. The crew were courteous, professional, and hard working. I look forward to working with Menno Martin on future home renovation projects.

They have a great team that come to your home to look after everything from design, additions and renovations and their plumber and electrian are on site which makes scheduling easier and alot more productive. It’s nice to have someone beside you from start to finish and accomplish what you had in mind without being stressed through the process. Menno S. Martin does put people first and we will continue to put them first on our list of things that need to be done.

We knew Menno S Martin Contracting by reputation. They were our first choice for a basement reno and a new deck. It may cost a little more but the quality of both the material and labour is worth it without question.

We hired Menno S. Martin as we were dropping 2 walls and putting in 26' beams to open up our middle floor. Mark and the whole crew were professional, fantastic, excellent craftsmanship and everyone who came to the house were amazing. Well worth their fee. Quality, Quality, Quality.

Menno S. Martin is an outstanding contractor who not only completes exceptional work (in a very tidy work site), but is great at communicating and understanding your needs. Art checked in with us to see if there was anything they could do to make the renovation easier on us and our lives. They really and truly put people first. I would recommend Menno S. Martin to anyone and would use them in the future.

In every respect, Menno S. Martin exceeded our expectations. Every member of their "team" is extremely knowledgeable, highly skilled, enthusiastic, and creative. Their motto, "putting people first" was evident throughout the entire project.
