    JANET N.

    “We chose Laurens Wit Construction to do two separate renovations for our home and are very pleased with the results. In the first, Laurens and his team renovated our Master bathroom and Powder room and helped us re-design our Master bedroom, adding a walk-in closet and built-in bookshelves. The work was meticulous and completed on time and on budget. The second reno was to finish our basement and convert part of it into a beautiful gym. Laurens’s extensive experience helped guide us through some changes that greatly improved both the esthetics and the functionality of the space. He definitely goes the extra mile to help complete a project to the client’s satisfaction. It is also refreshing to deal with honest professionals who provide fair pricing and take pride in their work. We would highly recommend Laurens Wit Construction!”

    SHIRLEY H.

    “I had the pleasure of working with Laurens on an addition to a bungalow and a new build. The quality of his craftsmanship made him a sought after builder in the Grey-Bruce area. Every home is warmly unique with beautiful European touches all according to the clients' wishes as he listens to people. I especially enjoy looking at the beautiful windows with their deep sills, the wooden beams and the outside overhangs which were some of his signature touches. A very solid yet creative builder that I would highly recommend.”

    RUSSEL L

    “Still enjoying our recent renovation done by Wit Construction! Yesterday was cold bright day where being inside was an almost must. I spent the day in my 4 season addition with a smile and satisfaction. This was probably one of the best decisions to spend money for practical and enjoyable reasons. It reminded me of how well the renovation experience was and it should be shared. The job came with quality workmanship and a lot of personal and trustworthy advice. We had no surprises and constant communication and clean up daily. I recommend giving them a call for your next project.”
