Curated Client Testimonials

We’re honoured to have worked with wonderful homeowners throughout Kingston and surrounding areas. Here are just a few of the heartfelt testimonials we’ve received, in our clients’ own words:

David Lafraniere and Charlene Millett

“We are pleased to be able to provide a recommendation for Trevor Howden and Holleford Homes. When we decided to renovate our home, we reviewed a number of local firms, Holleford came highly recommended and we were very impressed with their proposal and pricing. 

We have absolutely no regrets about our decision to work with Trevor and team. They were able to stay on pace with the project timeline and budget. Trevor kept us informed throughout the project so that we were never left wondering if things were progressing as they should. The quality of their work is impeccable – we could not be more pleased with the finished product.   

If you are looking for a construction firm that provides quality work and exhibits integrity throughout all aspects of operations, you will not be disappointed if you choose Holleford Homes. We recommend the firm without hesitation.  

We would be happy to speak with anyone looking to hire Trevor and his firm. Best wishes for a successful construction project.”

Donna Brown

“Trevor and his crew were wonderful in every way. They were conscientious about everything. If Trevor wasn’t sure of what my preferences would be, he texted photos and detailed explanations of the item that needed to be dealt with. They answered any questions quickly. They did my job (renovating a bathroom and kitchen) in record time and stuck to the given quote. If something happened and they had to take more time due to uneven walls or other surprises, he explained that the cost would be more and how much it would be. When I asked for extra things to be done, he was always accommodating. I would not hesitate to recommended Holleford Homes to anyone, and so glad that I found them!”

“We hired the Holleford Homes crew for a total interior renovation of a 1960’s home. We had never worked with them before but had only heard positive reviews from others. They exceeded my expectations. From our initial meeting where he took notes, asked all the right questions; and ones I had not though about and had this amazing energy and enthusiasm for the project, I knew he would be a great fit. The attention to detail and execution on drywall, tiling, kitchen assembly, ship lap, trim work, door installation and painting was some of the best work I’ve ever seen (and this was not my first renovation). Anyone would be nuts not to pick these guys. I will 100% be using them for anything in the future.”

Tandy Thomas

“Holleford Homes is exceptional. Trevor and his team recently did a large renovation of our house—everything except the basement—and we could not be happier with both the outcome and the process.

First, the workmanship is exceptional. Every single aspect of the renovation was completed with precision, care, and attention to detail. Whether it was a main feature of the renovation (e.g., bathroom tile work) or a minor detail (e.g., casing around vents), the team at Holleford Homes made sure to think through how to make it perfect, and then executed on that plan.

The quality of workmanship includes both Holleford Homes as well as the team of subcontractors that Trevor curated. Notably, if something wasn’t exactly perfect, Trevor would redo the work or come up with a new plan so that it could be perfect. I realize this sounds like it’s too good to be true, but the work really is that good.

Trevor holds his team, and himself to an exceptionally high standard of performance, and does not want to disappoint either his clients or himself. It was a pleasure to see the project unfold.

Second, Trevor’s project management process was outstanding. Every aspect of the job was quoted ahead of time in detail, including any changes that were made either out of necessity or because we wanted to add something new to the project. We were never surprised. Trevor kept us in the loop on every detail and deviation. He was responsive, communicated well, and completed the project on budget and on time.

Third, Trevor’s crew and his subs were a pleasure to be around and work with. We lived in the basement throughout the renovation and interacted with the crew every single day. There was never a day when I wasn’t happy to have them around: they were respectful, thoughtful, tidy, funny, and were welcoming every time me or my dog or my children walked through their work site. They made the entire process painless, and enjoyable.

Finally, in addition to doing impeccable work and managing the project well, Trevor also runs a great company and is an outstanding boss and mentor to his crew. It was clear from the way that he worked with his team and mentored the junior members of his team in particular that he truly cares about the well-being of his employees.

This approach to mentorship and leadership is an important element of why I think his team works so well. His employees are clearly dedicated to his mission of doing outstanding work and supporting the clients, in part because, I believe, Trevor is dedicated to supporting them.”

Stuart Trier

“I can’t say enough good things about Trevor and the amazing crew at Holleford Homes. They turned what could have been a stressful renovation into a smooth and exciting journey.

Right from the start, Trevor impressed us with his clear communication. He broke down the quote in a way that made sense, keeping us in the loop with progress reports that made us feel like part of the team.

And believe it or not, they actually stuck to the timeline they promised!

The workmanship was outstanding. Trevor’s team and the subcontractors he brought in were all top-notch. It’s clear they take pride in what they do, and it shows in every detail of our project. But what really blew us away was how Trevor managed everything. He’s like a conductor, keeping all the moving parts in harmony. No detail was too small for him to handle with care. Seriously, if you’re thinking about a big renovation, do yourself a favour and choose Holleford Homes. Trevor and his crew are true professionals who care about their work and their clients. Check out the amazing transformation they pulled off for us!

Thanks a million, Trevor and team, for making our dream a reality!”
