I met with several contractors for my kitchen renovation before I decided on Dunbar and Ross. Initially, I thought I couldn't go wrong..I had read decent reviews (though old), I visited the kitchen studio just at Yonge/Lawrence close to where I live, member of the BBB and Humberto (the relatively new owner) seemed nice, at first. Don't be fooled with any of these things. When it came time to... more
Umberto and his team made our kitchen renovation a pleasure. Umberto was eager to please right from the start. He supplied a high quality product at a very competitive price, worked with our construction team effectively, made timely deliveries, and his installation contractors were incredibly precise and easy to have in the house.
We love our new kitchen! It's both functional and beautiful.
It was a fairly small kitchen-17 feet long and 9 feet wide. Humberto did a great job coming up with a design to make best use of the space. I now have lots of counter and cupboard space and room to eat at the counter looking out at the garden. The estimate was very detailed and the work was completed on schedule. I get lots of compliments on my new kitchen and am very happy with it.Brigitte
My husband and I bought an old house and wanted to re-do the kitchen. We asked the previous owners who had done their kitchen because to be an old kitchen, it still looked good and well maintained. However, the style was old fashioned and did not match our home decor. The owners mentioned Dunbar and Ross Kitchen Studio on Yonge st. The owners told us they had re-done their kitchen 20 years ago... more
Our experience with the installation of a new kitchen through Dunbar and Ross was first class. Humberto’s design achieved exactly what we wanted, did so with style, and reflected a high attention to detail. Excellent craftsmanship by the installers ensured the end product looked wonderful, and the quality of the cabinets has exceeded our expectations. While we encountered the usual... more

They started strong but finished weak. David's self-proclaimed attention to detail was lacking - it was clear once we rejected a couple of his ideas (we also accepted some good ones) he lost interest. For example, we asked repeatedly for specific deesign solutions for telephone placement, platter storage, recycle and garbage storage. He ignored these requests. He gave our contractor a hard time... more
We purchased a kitchen from Norma priced at $50,000. A few months ago we required warranty service from Dunbar & Ross as parts of the kitchen began falling apart. When we called Norma for support she was very cold, crude, and uninterested. She ordered the parts we needed but said that they will only give us the part and installation is up to us because their installer is too busy. When the... more
Dunbar & Ross renovated our kitchen in March 2007. First, David came up with a brilliant design idea that involved the creation of a peninsula and the closing off of a window that only overlooked our neighbors' garbage pails. He also came up with two decorating schemes (so we wouldn't be totally overwhelmed by choice) and asked us to trust him as far as colors, knobs, tiles, etc., and guess... more
A good company gets the work done on budget, on time and as promised. But a great company handles the glitches that come along, quickly and responsibly without making it the clients problem. Dunbar and Ross is a great company. David designed our stunning kitchen which faces the street in a downtown Toronto neighbourhood. Norma made it happen with her exceptional scheduling abilities and... more
My fabulous new kitchen was just completed by Dunbar and Ross. David and Norma designed and renovated a kitchen for me in a previous house and, as before, this project was on time, on budget and handled expertly and professionally. They helped me though my many indecisions and uncertainties to achieve a truly beautiful end result. I would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone considering... more
I have had Dunbar and Ross renovate or build five bathrooms and 2 kitchens. Needless to say, I am a totally satisfied customer. There were no glitches from the initial consultation to the finished product. I was provided with great design concepts, good workmanship and quality, excellent trades (some of whom vaccuumed daily before leaving),and on budget and on time projects. The professionalism... more
Dunbar and Ross has just finished my kitchen renovation (on time and on budget!!) and my experience dealing with Norma and David and all their subcontractors has been excellent. Compared to two other major renos in other parts of my house, with other contractors, I found Dunbar and Ross professional, easy to deal with and easy to reach during the reno. All the subtrades showed up when they... more
As a result of my experience with Dunbar & Ross, I cannot recommend their services. My partner and I didn't have a horrible time with them, but given the scope of the job and its price tag, I expected much more professionalism. In one particularly frustrating instance where the same error occurred twice, the proprietor never apologized for the multi-week delay and in fact, made it clear that... more
The folks at Dunbar&Ross made our first, large kitchen renovation (Hogg's Hollow) such a pleasant and successful experience, we didn't consider asking for bids for our second Toronto kitchen reno (a more compact, Cabbagetown house) a couple of years later. The design work was creative in both instances, there were no unexpected delays, the various craftsmen were proficient, and there were no... more
David is an expert kitchen/bathroom designer, and as this was our first time we had to go through this process, we fully relied on David's advice and expertise. We very much enjoyed the design process as David kept us focused and ensured he understood what our needs were. The end result is a beautiful kitchen and bathroom that exceeded our expectations. Not only is the kitchen/bathroom... more
Dunbar and Ross recently renovated our kitchen and powder room and were an outstanding company to deal with. They took care of everything from designing the kitchen, providing the materials, arranging for the various trades and closely monitoring the progress of the renovation. David spent time with us discussing our wish list and his design was innovative and met our individual needs. Norma's... more
I had Dunbar & Ross Limited do a kitchen renovation for me that was quiet extensive. The entire project was a positive experience. They told me exactly what to expect in terms of timing and, I must say, they were exactly to the day.All their trades people were a pleasure to have in my home. They looked after absolutely everything, from start to finish (even selecting the colours for the walls)I... more
Dunbar & Ross designed our new kitchen and supplied and installed the cabinetry to our total satisfaction. They rose to the challenge to design a kosher kitchen with two distinct areas in a limited space with great flow and style. The cabinets are beautiful and well made.
The kitchen was installed on the day agreed upon. Their innovative design abilities, prompt service and professionalism...
