We have now used Main Renovations for several jobs including a complete renovation involving a large rear addition. Frank and Kathryn were nothing short of awesome…full time renovator / designers, part time counselors, the quality of work was and remains outstanding and 3 year on our house still looks fantastic. Renovating a home is stressful enough, finding the right renovator made our renovation “almost” fun … thanks Zip and Kathryn.

Frank Main is one of the rare gems in the Ottawa reno business. Frank and his team built us a modern two-story addition to our 1920s home, on time and on budget. Throughout the process, Frank’s extensive experience gave us confidence that the job was being done right and was always straight-forward and honest as we worked through details as they came up. If you’re looking for personalized service that doesn’t come with the big builders, Frank and his team were a pleasure to work with and I can’t recommend them enough.

The Main crew is exceptional. There is little in life as stressful as having your home torn apart while you are living in it and in a busy home with young kids and pets this can be especially chaotic.  Frank and his crew are professional, courteous, and treat your home like it is their own.  The attention to detail in their work is next to none.  Every task is carried out with such attention that you know each member of the team takes great pride in what they do.  They keep a clean and tidy work space and do a terrific job cleaning up after themselves.  The Main Renovations team made the home renovation experience a positive one.

It is my immense pleasure to recommend Main Renovations for your next home renovation project. I first hired Frank at Main Renovations in 2009 to remodel our Kitchen, which was badly dated. He gutted it, ran new plumbing, re-positioned the stove and wiring, and installed the new cabinets, crown mouldings, flooring, and etc. I am pleased to report it was completed on time, on budget and with the highest quality craftsmanship. When we decided to enlarge our home for our growing family, it was without hesitation that we again hired Frank and his Team in May 2010. We undertook a 500 sq ft. addition to the back of our home, imagining a summer of chaos. Just the opposite, they blocked off the addition from the rest of the “living†area. Frank even had my 10 year old interested and immersed in the project. He surpassed our expectations with a custom built fireplace mantel as well as custom crown and window/door mouldings. It is without hesitation that I recommend Main renovation for your next project.

We couldn’t be happier with the choice to hire you Frank.  Thank you so much for the fantastic renovation. Your amazing work ethic, calm communication style and superb workmanship were SO appreciated.  We feel so happy to have found someone with so much integrity & knowledge that really cares about our project and even our family. We’ll be sure to recommend you to any of our friends looking to have work done. We’d also like to be sure to mention how glad we were to have Kathryn’s design input, even her simple comment on delineating the room with layout alone made a tremendous difference in how great the space felt.

Thanks again, so very much, to you & your team.

Main Renovations did a major renovation on our house that included a completely new kitchen, family bath and powder room, as well as smaller improvements to virtually every room in the house. They were extremely willing to work with our ideas and to come up with ideas of their own when we were at a loss. Their experience in bringing an old house back to life was evident in their complete absence of panic at every inevitable setback as we opened up the walls and found the problems left over from previous renovations or the original construction. They dealt with everything and were still able to give us exactly what we wanted. We are delighted with our new house, which in spite of its small size is now a joy to live and entertain in.

Reliable. Excellent service and work. I would highly recommend Main Renovations to anyone.

There are many reasons we chose to work with Frank (Main Renovations), but one reason sets working with Frank above the rest.  This is Frank’s ability to adapt to ever-changing schedules and requirements. We recently renovated the kitchen and bathroom in our house, which was built in 1913.  One of the most noted aspects about old houses is that they are always full of surprises. Frank was able to accommodate our changing plans as we discovered additional gotcha’s. Yes the quality of the work is important and Frank and his team delivered in that area. Yes being cost competitive is key and Frank definitely is. Understanding and working with the customer is important and Frank clearly understands and places importance in this area. But as I said, the key for us was Franks’ ability to find viable solutions for every challenge (especially the unexpected ones) while supporting our needs and ensuring that the finished product  reflected our ambitions and goals. We would be glad to work with Frank/Main Renovations again and are confident to recommend him to others.

I highly recommend Main Renovations to anyone who values personalized service coupled with quality work. Thanks again for the amazing work and I look forward to my next project with you.

When faced with building out our new office space (in an older industrial building in Hintonburg) literally from the concrete floors up, Frank/Zip from Main Renovations worked with us on the concepts, plans and build. From word-go, Zip was consultative, realistic and tremendously responsive. He was able to work with us and accommodate our aggressive timelines – and ultimately deliver an amazing new space for our company. We really wanted a garage-like space which would meet our company culture, business focus and startup mentality…so Zip suggested the obvious – “put a garage in the office and make it your conference roomâ€â€¦brilliant! We built out both closed offices and open workspaces, our centrepiece conference room with a glass/aluminum roll down garage door, and centred our thinkspace around a chalkboard wall wrapped with exposed brick. It came together perfectly. Frank’s crew were also great guys – hard workers, reliable and trusted – and they paid great attention to detail. They were always willing to spend some time with me to walk me through progress and confirm design direction. I recommend (and have recommended) Main Renovations to friends and family – they delivered our project on time, on budget and at great quality.

Thanks Zip – we love our new office.

Over the years, I have had work completed by Main Renovations. I will continue to contract my renos with Frank mainly for 3 reasons. The superior quality of the work, his input/advice to ensure I reap the benefits of his experience and finally the personal touches put into the finished product which were not planned but appreciated, all completed within budget.

We have always been very pleased with Main Renovations work. They give us accurate estimates, deliver on what they promised and provide quality workmanship. We’ve used Main Renovations for home renos on two different houses, including two kitchen remodels, an attic addition and four new bathrooms. It’s always a pleasure to work with Frank and his crew.
