We were looking to finish our basement and we were referred to the Melanson team from friends of ours who just had their main floor reno completed. Once we sat down and talked to Jeff, we knew we didnt need to talk to anyone else we had found the right company to tackle our project. He was thoughtful, insightful, and up-front about what we were going to experience, both financially and during the construction process.
Jeff, Leslie-Ann and Phil were fantastic in the design and selection process. They walked us through each stage with amazing patience and expertise. They were able to offer

Melanson Homes and Renovation have lived up to their reputation as a company that listens to their clients from the beginning to the end of the renovation. Jeff, Leslie-Ann, Brad and Phil work collaboratively with their clients to ensure that the vision of the renovation created in the beginning is the one that is finally met. Nothing is a problem, it is simply a matter of figuring it out. Their attention to detail is quite amazing. They have excellent relationships with their trades and that is evident with the professionalism and excellent work from all the installers (cabinets, floor, tile)

Brad, the construction manager, was always there to deal with the little surprises that popped up exactly how they should be handled – quickly and with professionalism – no matter how tired we were of each other by the end of our 10-week renovation. LOL. We also enjoyed the subcontractors they have

We had a great experience with Melanson Homes renovating our house and developing our basement. On recommendation from Morrison Homes ( an award winning home builder), we met with Jeff and his team to start our project. We worked with Phil and Leslie-Ann on the design and selection phase. Given the scope we had, it was very overwhelming, however, with Phil's expertise and Leslie-Ann's attention to details, the design was a reflection of what we want and what our family needs. Then it was under Brad's supervision to turn our old house into a home. While the project had its ups and downs ( due to
