Start your project

From the moment we met the Black Rock Team, we knew we were in good hands. We've never seen an estimate like the one Ashley put together before. It was detailed and broken down for each portion of the project, so we knew exactly where every cent was going. Ashley and Thomas were constantly in communication with us, and they kept our build on track. Building our home was the biggest thing we have ever done, and we were nervous since there's so many horror stories out there. Ashley is trying to chnge the way people look at builders, and she's definitely done an A+ job. Thank you Black Rock! We are so thrilled with our forever home. 

Ashley, Thank you for the fantastic job you & your team did on our basement renovations. We’re extremely pleased with the work. You & your team were very professional, reliable and easy to work with from start to finish (even with all my annoying texts & phone calls — haha). The new space looks amazing! Amelia is so happy & loves her new room. We truly appreciate your hard work and will gladly recommend you to others. Thanks again, Chantal, Doug, Amelia & Daisy

We had the pleasure of working with Black Rock on a recent remodel of our tiny, main floor bathroom and were thrilled with the results. The workmanship overseen by the team was stellar and the communication with Ashley was clear, timely and professional. They took all my design ideas into consideration and when things didn't work out for various logistical reasons, they offered stylish and practical solutions. They were able to change our outdated and cramped bathroom into a room we love - and all on budget! I really can't say enough good things about the Black Rock team. My only worry now is that they get too busy to help me with my next project :)

We purchased an older home with tons of potential last year, and knew we wanted to do a major renovation. Finding a contractor and designer you can trust is hard at the best of times, but during the height of the market in 2022, we were even more concerned. From our very first meeting with Ashley and the team, to a 4-month top-to-bottom renovation of what is now our dream home,- we are so grateful to have found two outstanding and committed professionals and the amazing Blackrock Developments team that brought our dream to life. An amazing and skilled group that we have already recommended to many family and friends!
