Catlin Inc. did a great job installing the steel roof on the Barn Swallow structure in Dundas. There were 2 team members on the job site and when the weather degraded, Jay Catlin added a 3rd. team member in order to finish all work on the same day. Lifting and placing steel sheets on a windy and cold day is not an easy task. Everything was cleaned up and removed by the end of the day. I would like to recommend Catlin for their attention to detail and their ability to work safely and on time.

We found Catlin online in 2020 and, after meeting Jay, trusted our gut and hired them for our upstairs renovation. Our first impression was exactly who Jay and his team proved to be over the project - hardworking, honest, easy to work with, and deliver a beautiful and high quality finish. Jay is transparent about timelines, costs and is extremely fair. Any minor setback we did encounter (as happens with any construction project) was met with a complete "make it right" approach ,with the team doing after hour or weekend work, going to bat with subcontractors, whatever was necessary. I would give Jay and the whole Catlin team my whole and unreserved 5 star recommendation. The post-completion follow up is exceptional, and any small issues that came up were dealt with quickly.

I personally am picky with details and probably hard to work with that way. The end product with Catlin is high-end, high-quality, and tailored to small preferences.

We hired Catlin again in 2023 to do our larger, full-home renovation project where they took the rest of our house down to the studs. Having known them now through 2 major renovations and 5 years only adds to my recommendation - Jay, Charlie (designer), Chase, Derek, Taylor, the whole team are amazing to work with and will give you a beautiful home. I should mention that their work also won awards for best renovation, which you really can't beat when you pair it with the people you get to work with.
You will probably walk away with some new friends as well.
Thank you Catlin Inc!

Catlin renovated our entire house in two separate stages. In both projects they kept to the agreed upon schedule and budget, and had great communication on progress through phone, email, and their app. They also provided a detailed cost breakdown throughout the project, and honoured their warranty for a few minor issues. Overall very trustworthy, which unfortunately is rare in the renovation business. Would recommend for anyone looking to renovate their home.

We’ve had the pleasure of working with Catlin on a number of projects over the years, and they continue to set the bar high in the custom home space. Their reputation as a builder is well-earned—rooted in a strong work ethic, thoughtful design, and a true commitment to quality. We’ve supported Catlin on some exciting builds, handling both aluminum and wood siding, and it’s always a great experience. Their team is organized, forward-thinking, and easy to communicate with on-site, which makes our job smoother and more enjoyable. We love working with Catlin and are proud to be a part of their builds.

Catlin Inc. oversaw the renovation of our entire main floor (removal of walls, new kitchen, new fireplace, doors, windows, flooring, painting), a new staircase, new en suite bathroom, a new powder room in our basement, and the move of our laundry room from the main floor to the basement.

Jay Catlin and his team were very reliable and professional through the entire process. We received regular communication on the progress and were asked for our input on preferences wherever possible, which we really appreciated.

No renovation comes without surprises. If he was presented with anything unexpected, Jay brought it to our attention immediately and provided options as to how to move forward.

We can't say enough good things about our experience, and would highly recommend to anyone looking at doing a large scale renovation.

We selected Catlin to add an addition above our garage and completely renovate the exterior of our home in 2019. Their workmanship and professionalism was great. Everything that we had agreed upon was done, and any issues were communicated to us clearly. We never had any problems working with them and would not hesitate to recommend them to others. In fact, we do recommend them whenever anyone complements the house.

Catlin Construction performed a major renovation for us and overall, it was great experience that exceeded all of our expectations. We transformed and modernized an old house with small rooms into an open concept. Our house was completely gutted and rebuilt including supporting beams, new custom kitchen, hardwood flooring, drywall, exterior doors, electrical, plumbing and duct work. Everything went as planned and was on time and on budget. Jay Catlin has a solid background in his field with both the technical know how and people skills required to effectively coordinate large projects like ours. More importantly I know Jay to be reliable and honest … what he tells you, you can trust in with the highest confidence. His team was professional, courteous, and respectful and they kept the work environment clean as possible. If you are considering Catlin Inc. for a project of any size, you should have zero hesitation as there are few around as good and trustworthy as they are.

Working with Jay and his team at Catlin Inc. was enjoyable from start to finish. Their communication, level of professionalism, attention to detail, and care in their craft is best in class. We could not be more thrilled with the finished product of our backyard cabana! Without hesitation, we highly recommend Catlin Inc. for home renovations/builds.
