We were very happy with the work carried out by Darren and his company. The extensive and complex rebuild of our 4 season sunroom was beyond our expectations.
The staff were respectful of our property with attention to detail, timelines and communication.
We would highly recommend them.

We had Duane Erb do a full floor Reno of our kitchen in 2018 and we love it. When it came time to do our upstairs bathroom we knew the choice was obvious. Darren has done a fine job of stepping in to run things along with Steve and their entire crew. Our bathroom was a complete tear down and everything went exactly to plan. The subcontractors are true professionals in all their trades. Reno's can be stressful but we know that everything is being looked after and staying up at night worrying about details is not even a thing we even left for a vacation during the Reno. Richcraft had already picked out all of our tile and grout colour I think I was in and out in five minutes why fix it if it ain't broken. Highly recommend them for any Reno you are planning.

Duane Erb Construction brought into reality with hammer and drill what Debbie Hammer Kitchen Designs put down with ink and paper. Our project was to modify our kitchen and main floor washroom so that we can "age in place". We now have strong, solid cabinets, a zero clearance shower stall, heated floors, French patio doors and best of all, wider doors to accommodate any wheelchair we might need in the future. Amazingly enough, they duplicated our solid oak doors and baseboards. It is hard to tell the difference between the century old doors and trim and the new, wider replacements.
The team at Duane Erb was professional all the time. They stored our old cabinets and appliances in our garage, recycled when they could and protected the rest of our house and floors and outside deck from dust and traffic abuse with plastic barriers and floor protectors. They have good subtrades and knew how to synchronize there presence They cleaned up daily. We are always proud to show off their craftmanship.
Our major grief that it process took so long. We started planning in 2021 through COVID. The contract was signed in 2022 but the reno was not started until April 2024. We do understand that It was a time of supply chain disruption and high demand for contractors.

Duane Erb Construction completed a renovation project for me on my 100 year old house during summer to fall of 2019. From the estimate to completion, they were professional, courteous, and communicated extremely well about every aspect of the project. The work that was done involved a complete kitchen renovation as well as a remodelling of the structure which included the removal of walls and changes/additions of exterior windows and doors. A deck was also built towards the end of the project. There were multiple trades involved including electrical, masonry, plumbing, flooring, and tiling. Darren Erb, the project manager, coordinated the work wonderfully, and there was a schedule provided so that I would know daily who and what was happening. This was extremely well coordinated. Any changes that were needed to the scope of work were discussed and agreed upon, with options clearly laid out for me to make a decision. Jamie the on-site project manager was incredible. He was skilled, hard-working, and delight to have in our home each day. Jamie's craftmanship and attention to detail took the project to a level that exceeded my expectations. Twila did a tremendous job with the painting, matching the new interior finishes perfectly to the existing ones. All of the staff from Duane Erb were polite, kind, and respectful. I highly recommend this company for anyone considering a renovation.

Duane Erb Construction: Darren and Team
Project : main floor renovation (kitchen/dining/great-room)
Completed: October 2023.
It was a 5 month project but from the onset their commitment to detail and high level of quality was evident.
Darren’s knowledge and experience in navigating the world of construction were invaluable. His approachability and willingness to listen made for a great partnership throughout the journey including all the many decisions required. He knows his stuff.
Trevor, our on-site manager was excellent. His ability to trouble shoot and come up with creative ways to solve unexpected challenges was amazing. His attention to detail was second to none. Just a great guy all round.

As we lived on site, the Erb Construction team were very conscientious to keep us informed of arrival times and left at the end of day ensuring the work areas were clean, organized and safe.
It’s been almost a year since completion and we continue to enjoy our new main floor and are well aware of the high level of quality behind the finished product.

If we could sum up a few words to describe Erb Construction, it would be knowledgeable, trustworthy, respectful, resourceful and detail-oriented.
We would not hesitate to engage Darren and his team on our next project.
With much gratitude, Deb and Tim

In 2023 Duane Erb completed extensive renovations to our 30-year old home, including removing a wall to create an open concept main floor with a new kitchen, new powder room, expanded front hall closet, and new flooring. Outside, they built a new pressed concrete patio, new deck, and a new concrete driveway and entranceway. We could not have been happier with their work. Their communication was excellent, and they provided a number of suggestions on how we could make the most of our space. Not only were Duane Erb's employees professional and courteous, everyone of their sub-trades provided exceptional service.

We have used them for 2 kitchen updates and a complex addition. Excellent crew of very talented professionals with great relationships with supporting companies. We always recommend them.

We have had only good experiences working with the folks at Duane Erb Construction over the years. Our most recent project (a kitchen/laundry closet renovation) presented typical but also unexpected reno challenges relating to design, building and electrical obstacles, and the invariable hurdles around coordinating the trades involved in getting the job completed to perfection. At every stage, DEC rose to the occasion, proving their expertise, professionalism, and honesty. They are masters in all aspects of this business. We wouldn't hesitate to call upon DEC again or recommend them to others.
