Galle Construction Inc

We hired Gallé Construction and Design for the renovation of our 3 washrooms, rear windows and doors, as well as our rear deck and loggia. 
We were reluctant to take on a project this size as we’ve heard of so many horror stories of contractors that have left homeowners mid project, misquoted jobs or performed poor workmanship. Our experience with Alessandro and Gallé have put our fears to rest. Not only did Alessandro treat our home like his own, every one of Gallés’ contractors were respectful, on time, courteous and on the top of their game. 
During every stage of the renovation, we were well informed of what was happening, who was coming, and how long it would take. Alessandro was always there to answer any questions, keep an eye on his contractors, lend his expert advice on minor design decisions, and of course, clean up after every visit. 
This was our first experience renovating our home and we feel lucky to have found such a trustworthy and reliable organization as Gallé. They are a family business that really cares about their clients. They believe in executing every project to the highest standard and doing things the right way. They do not cut corners and no detail is too small. 
We highly recommend Gallé for any home project whether it is a new build or renovation and we would gladly hire them again for our next project.

Building our house was a major experience in our lives, and only because of Gallè Construction our house is the one what we imagined to build. We feel extremely lucky we got the referral from our neighbours and were able to see Galle’s incredible work beforehand. We are most grateful to Alessandro who managed this project from the demo to the move-in day, did it during the long Covid19 months and stuck to the budget! There have been so many positive moments but a few stood out. First, Galle team embraced the challenges of working with sustainable techniques and materials, working closely with our architects and engineers, often finding solutions when other professionals could not. Second, Galle’s project coordination was impeccable: from setting realistic timelines and advance reminders to us, homeowners, to taking care of communications with all involved parties, especially our neighbours. Galle led the way by prioritizing the action items so we stuck to the plans and knew the about progress made on weekly basis. Third, we appreciated Galle sharing critical supplier contacts who were also great to work with. Forth, the level of care and quality of work is admirable, and how all custom houses should be built. The house we love would not be standing proudly on our street without Galle Construction! If you are thinking of building a house, you don’t need to look any further: just ask for our contacts and we will be happy to answer to show the end result and answer any questions.

Galle Construction built a 1 story and basement addition and renovated the kitchen in our century-old home in the Wychwood/Casa Loma part of Toronto. We wanted an expansion that would look like it was always a part of the original home, which necessitated extensive woodworking and fine carpentry. I am a pretty meticulous person, and owner Cesar Galle patiently made sure I was satisfied down to the slightest detail. His trades were all craftsmen, and lovely to work with as well. The project was completed on time and on budget. The result transformed our home, looking as wonderful today as it did upon completion 8 years ago.

2 years ago we were in the midst of planning a renovation and planning a wedding. I was prepared for stress! The renovation had a timeline that was nothing short of impossible. We had spent a significant amount of time on drawings and selecting finishes and that worked in our favour. After careful review Galle Construction Inc came back with a quote and a promise that their company could make it happen. And make it happen they did. The site was organized and tidy. I never once felt disappointed when we would do our daily walk through. We have a beautifully renovated home with attention to detail that I could only dream about. They came through for us! The wedding was perfect and so is our home. Two years later I am still pleased by our decision to trust this company! A great big huge thank you to the Galle Construction team. You are truly first class!

We hired Galle to build a new custom home for us, and would strongly recommend them to anyone considering a major construction project. They provided invaluable support and advice during our challenging planning and permit stage, and their construction work was top-notch. All of their sub-contractors were highly skilled and professional. Our neighbours were pleased at how tidy the construction site was kept. Galle gave realistic and accurate estimates for the budget and timeline, and therefore our house was finished on time and within our budget. Communication was excellent throughout the process; our calls and emails were always returned promptly. We have been living in our house for 9 months now. In that time, Galle has been very responsive to rectify a few minor issues that invariably arise with a project this size. Most importantly, we are thrilled with our new house. It is everything we hoped for. Thank you Galle Construction!

Review Galle Construction We’ve all heard nightmare contractor stories: the guy who overpromised and underdelivered, the guy who never came back to finish the last 10% of the job; the guy whose workmanship was so shoddy as to be embarrassing. Those stories make for a very anxious decision as you try choosing someone you hope you can trust to build your house. That’s why it’s a delight to write a review like this and to commend, without any reservation, Galle construction. I did my due diligence in researching contractors, calling referrals for every person we interviewed for the job. Most referrals for other contractors we interviewed were kind but considerably tepid: “Yeah, it was a pretty good experience overall.” But whenever I called a Galle client, the contrast was stark, the enthusiasm of their clients so genuine and palpable. “We LOVE the Galles.” I actually talked with one woman who said she missed them at the end of her project. Having just completed our gut reno with Galle, I perfectly understand the sentiment. It’s a miracle, really, to finish such a gargantuan project, involving a myriad of details and a mountain of money, to emerge on the other side with your respect for your contractor still intact. But that’s how I feel. If I believed in pots of gold, I’d say we fell into one when we discovered Galle. To be specific, their integrity is unimpeachable. They are the kind of contractor who will tell you the truth, whether it’s what you want to hear or not. They don’t undersell a project simply to get your business. They quote a reasonable price for the work, and their numbers are very, very accurate. When there are problems with the project (and there inevitably will be), they communicate honestly but also with confidence. I never felt alarmed when we met an obstacle. I always felt confident that in the hands of Galle, we’d find the best solution. Very importantly, they are always reachable, so communicating with them, throughout the project, is easy. Their invoicing is clear, making it simple to keep the numbers straight. I was also grateful for how much of their design advice I also relied on as I faced decision upon decision. At the end of the day, we have a home we love, a home whose workmanship reveals the care and attentiveness Galle gives to every project they undertake. It’s their workmanship that first sold me on the Galle name, but now I know that the advantages to hiring them are so much more than a solid, beautiful house. They build a relationship of trust with clients that seems almost otherworldly in this day and age. Now I understand why one of the first Galle clients I’d called for a referral admitted they were starting a second project with Galle. For as momentous and time-consuming as building a house is, in collaboration with Galle, you could be convinced to do it all over again.

My wife and I hired Galle Construction Inc. because they are personal friends of ours and because I know and have seen all the many projects the family have built in their years of business. They are true professionals and will guide you in every step of the way. They don't allow anything but perfection and you can definitely see that in all their work. If you have a budget, they will stay within it. If you have a vision, they will execute it. I would highly recommend them and wouldn't shop anywhere else. Thank-you Cesare, Stefano and Alessandro for your tremendous contributions and for helping us realize our dream home.

The Galle family did an absolutely amazing job on our renovation. Our home turned out better than we thought and they were with us - advising, helping, supporting, every step of the way. All details surrounding the costs were always clearly explained and outlined. The budget was detailed and very accurate. The timelines were also very accurate. We were able to trust in the advice and work of Cesar, Alessandro and Stefano. The work they did was all top notch. No detail was missed and I can honestly say there is nothing that I am not completely happy with. Things we weren't able to think of, they did and it made the process that much easier. I spent time interviewing companies prior to selecting Galle for our project and they stood out among the others throughout that process. Very professional but also realistic and down to earth. I would highly recommend them!! Thank you Cesar, Alessandro and Stefano for the wonderful work you did on our home!

My recent renovation was completed on time and on budget. We selected them after doing our research and seeing some of their recent projects which all looked very good. Family run business and the care and detail throughout the project and even once completed was and is great. I have recommended them to other people and would certainly hire them for any future projects. The fellows work with you to get the best results. Thank you to the Galle family.

Let me start by saying this company (family) is fantastic. You will often hear about horror stories people have had when completing a renovation....or at least I had and that can lead to some uneasiness in the period prior to hiring a contractor/builder. I can tell you with complete certainty when you deal with Galle that is not a concern. You will be their top priority and they are able to make anything happen with the best trades you will find (on budget and on time). We've been in our house now for a few months and we still can't believe how well this project came together. We've seen them building/renovating beautiful homes in our neighborhood for over a decade and couldn't be happier with the finished product they built for us. So if you're looking to make an investment in your home (and this is a significant investment) either through a renovation or a rebuild call Galle Construction, your house will be built properly and you will be extremely happy.

It's always a pleasure working with Galle Construction. They are family owned, professional and involved in the project from the beginning to end. As a professional in the industry it is important for me to work with builders that are transparent with their clients and complete the job on time and within the budget. The trades that work for Galle are qualified profesionals who have excellent workmanship. After working with Galle Construction it is evident that they take pride in their homes and it's important that their clients are always happy. I look forward to working with them again.

Too often you hear horror stories and cautionary tales from homeowners when choosing the right builder. After lengthy interviews with popular neighbourhood builders we weren’t entirely convinced with their complicated payment models and unrealistic timelines. Then we stumbled upon Gallé Construction and our first meeting with them was unlike any other. Following an informal conversation about our project Cesare offered an impromptu tour of a home, the owner of which had left in their care while he worked out of town. This spoke volumes of the character and professionalism of the family run business, that long after the home had been built and their business concluded there was still that continuing trust and closeness. Frankly the Gallés were outstanding to work with. We worked with the Gallés to personalize our home and received strategic insight on every finish from cabinetry, flooring and wainscoting to the style of our door hinges. Their recommendations made the selection process enjoyable and seamless. Their focus on quality craftsmanship and meticulous attention to detail reassured us. Even after seeing their prior work our expectations were quite often exceeded. Their timetable and budget were right on the mark. Unlike most, the Gallés remain in close contact even after we moved in and ensured final touch-ups were complete and just right. We are so fortunate to have found and worked with this family who brought our dream home to life.
