ALTAR Construction Inc. is a fully insured, full-service construction/renovation and general contractor company. We serve the GTA and surrounding areas. We do projects of various complexities and scale. We are large enough to serve any customer with distinction, many as exclusive supplier, yet creative enough to meet each of our customer’s unique needs. Each member of our team has been selected for their expertise and understanding of the needs and sensitivities of those we serve. If you or your company is looking for a reliable, professional contractor, do not hesitate to give us a call, or complete the “Request for Quote” button on this webpage and submit to us. We will do whatever we can to earn your trust and your business.
Our mission is to always bring to our projects professionalism, quality, and reliability. We see this mission as a three part process:
We make it a top priority to sit down with our clients to completely map out the project that we are being retained to work on to the smallest detail. If needed, we will refer you to a professional designer, or work with your designer if you already have one. Once we have your vision as to what you want done clearly understood, we will provide you a detailed quote. Upon your acceptance of this quote, we reduce the entire agreement to writing including when progress inspections will be done, and progress payments required. All of these documents will be posted to your personal and confidential account which is accessible only to you and us from our web-page via your unique client number and password. Of course changes to the original plans are quite common. In addition to the original contract, any change requests will be fully quoted, reduced to writing with your signature showing your acceptance of the same, and posted to your client account so you do not have any nasty surprises when the job is complete. Transparency is the hallmark of professionalism, and we believe this process separates us from the competition.
We use only the best craftsman on all of our projects. These people have years of experience in all areas of the construction industry. We also only use licensed trades, and require anyone who works on any of our projects to stand behind their work by providing an unconditional warranty to come back to correct any deficiencies in their work until we, and of course you, are totally satisfied.
At the time of signing of an agreement with you, we will set out a time-line for this work to be completed. We believe that a job well done is not only a job of good quality, but a job that is done within the reasonable time expectations of our clients. Too many times we hear from our clients how the last contractor they had used talked a mean story, but took three times as long to complete the job as was promised, or failed to compete the work at all.
This mission statement is our promise to you. Quality work done in a timely fashion while at all times being totally professional. We believe this is the only way to carry on business, and will stand by this statement throughout whatever project we have been hired to complete.
In 2013 I acted on behalf of a mortgage lender that was forced to take possession of a half-completed townhouse project located at 96 Beaumont Drive, Bracebridge, Ontario. This was a $350,000 contract that required high quality finishing work as these units were being marketed as luxury, waterfront townhomes. Andrew Lenathen was granted the contract, and completed the project on-time and on budget. He also dealt with all requests to deal with issues raised after completion in a timely fashion. I was totally satisfied with Andrew and the work he did for my client.
ALTAR Construction Inc. is the combined initiative of two experienced construction professionals bringing complimentary skills and background to ALTAR. This combination of skills is what we believe distinguishes us from our competition.
Our President is Mike Woods. Mr. Woods brings to the table more than 25 years experience in the “back office“ of construction, including administrative, legal and finance functions. He has extensive experience in dealing with all of these issues, including contract preparation and administration, banking and finance, and government compliance issues. This background gives him a unique perspective on the construction business.
Each of Mr. Woods and Mr. Lenathen make it their personal pledge to our customers to ensure every project undertaken by ALTAR is completed such that our mission statement of quality, reliability and professionalism is met.
As we all know, life is a journey. As with all journeys, we hit bumps in the road. When you do hit a bump in road such as a fire, flood, or other calamity that affects you or your business, you need to get up, dust yourself off, and deal with the issue as quickly and efficiently as possible. This is where ALTAR can assist. We will come to your assistance immediately if the situation dictates. We deal with all of the following offering 24 hour emergency service if needed:
We guarantee that no stone will be left unturned to deal with the emergency in the most timely and efficient manner possible, including interfacing with your insurance company. When disaster strikes, we are the people to call to get your life or your business back to where it was as soon as reasonably possible.
At ALTAR, we provide renovation services for all kinds of situations. The types of renovations we do include:
We believe the key to meeting our mission statement with respect to all of these types of renovations is completely understanding what our clients need. The property manager who needs cosmetic upgrades to one of 200 apartments he or she manages does not need the same quality, and associated expense, that the owner of a million dollar home requires when replacing their kitchen. However each expects the same level of professionalism and reliability.
If you have a job that needs done, done hesitate to call us for an on-site inspection.
