Testimonials

“During the renovation, my wife was pregnant, and HPR was considerate enough to do all the cutting and sanding outside to reduce noise and dust buildup for the baby. They even offered to look after our pets on the day of the birth, which was heartwarming. Working with HPR was an amazing experience”

— Thierry, The Glebe.

“Working with Heller Phillips Renovation has been an absolute delight from start to finish. As an engineer, I have collaborated with various contractors over the years, but my experience with HPR stands out as exceptional. The professionalism and camaraderie are unmatched, making every project enjoyable and stress-free.”

— Phil, HPR Contractor (Engineer).

“Our experience with Heller Phillips was exceptional. In a major renovation involving significant work on all three floors of our home, they were on time, on budget, and always professional. Whenever we had a question or decision to make, they were supportive and offered excellent advice and ideas. We couldn’t be happier with the end result. They were genuinely a joy to have in our home.

If you’re looking for a contractor, you can’t do better than Heller Phillips.”

— Alison & Jon, Centretown

“The final outcome exceeded our expectations. Compliments on the quality of work keep pouring in. People are surprised to learn that our project was completed within the scope, budget, and schedule – a rarity in the industry. Without hesitation, we recommend Heller Phillips Renovations. Their commitment to scope, schedule, and budget is remarkable, and their integrity is unquestionable.”

— Tanya & Simon, The Glebe.

“When we bought our older home, we knew we wanted to renovate the kitchen, but neither of us had experience with major renovations. It can be intimidating, especially when so many family members, friends, and TV shows focus on the challenges and unexpected issues.

We’re happy to say our experience with Heller Phillips was exactly the opposite — easy, smooth, and problem-free. Richard, Trevor, and Ryan were great to work with. The project was finished exactly when expected, within budget, and the outcome is spectacular. We all love our new kitchen and can see the quality and care that went into it.”

— Cassie & Brent, Centretown.

“We recommend Heller Phillips. Their project management is impressive, which allows them to stay organized. Working with the team was a great experience; they were professional, friendly, and attentive to detail. We couldn't be happier with the results.”

— Lucinda, Old Ottawa South.

“Heller Phillips delivered an outstanding renovation experience. From the very beginning, the team was responsive, professional, and kept our project on schedule and on budget.

The scope of work was significant: they built a terrific new kitchen in our 1910 home that perfectly matches its original character, refinished the hardwood floors, painted throughout, installed new interior doors, updated the bathrooms, and added all-new lighting and electrical fixtures.

The quality of the workmanship is exceptional. Richard, Trevor, Ryan — and their subcontractors — were a pleasure to work with, making the entire process smooth and stress-free.

We absolutely love the result. Our old home has never looked or felt better.”

— R. Allan, Old Ottawa East.

“I wholeheartedly recommend Heller Phillips to anyone seeking a top-notch renovation experience. The peace of mind and white-glove treatment they provide are worth every penny. I had zero stress throughout the process and attribute that to their exceptional work and care for the quality they deliver.”

— Debra, Old Ottawa South.

“We turned to Heller-Phillips Renovations for a complete kitchen renovation in 2024. This kind of project is inherently stressful and disruptive, but Richard, Trevor, and Ryan worked hard to minimize our time without a working kitchen and contain the mess during demolition and re-build. We really appreciated the detailed cost and schedule information provided at the start, as well as their ability to adapt to changes — not uncommon in an older house! Also appreciated was their willingness for us to be involved as active participants.

The team was thoughtful, detail-oriented, and above all, always a pleasure to interact with.”

— Chris, Old Ottawa South.

The Heller Phillips Difference

“Having worked with other contractors, HPR's approach is in a league of its own. Unlike previous experiences with other contractors, HPR stayed faithful to their promises, delivered on time, and adhered to the budget. Whenever there were any issues, they promptly addressed them, ensuring everything was completed to our satisfaction.”

— Alex, The Glebe.
