Black Pearls delivered a high quality, great design house as promised. I highly value their communication, transparency, and work ethics.I realized early on communication is very important. I went into the custom building knowing nothing, had so many questions and anxieties; I can not stress enough how relieved I was being able to communicate clearly and timely. No matter how strange or silly my inquiries were, all were answered within hours with respect.I trust Black Pearls to work in best interest of the customers. All costs were transparent and easily identifiable. For every major expanse, Black Pearls sought out few quotes; measured their costs, qualities and schedules; I was able to make an informed decision.Perhaps, most important aspect about Black Pearls is they have a genuine passion to do a good job. They spent extra time, made sure the final outcome made sense. In many occasions, it’d have been easy for Black Pearls to let me do what I insisted, but they explained, even if it meant extra work for the same cost, I was saved from making obvious mistakes in hind sight.Thanks Black Pearls. I recommend fully to anyone. Building through the covid era, they kept my sanity in check; I could not have done with anyone else.

After interviewing quite a few designers and builders, we decided to go with Blackpearl, a custom home builder we found online, because we felt the good vibe with them from the start. They are a young, professional, and passionate group. We feel very lucky and happy that we worked with them to build our beautiful new home!We worked with Vince, Sean and Sina throughout the process, and all of them were pleasant to work with because they care about their clients and take pride of their work. They overcame the difficulties working on a narrow lot in the city and gained good reputation among our neighbours. They brought in reliable trades to deliver good quality work on time even in the pandemic time. After 14 months of work, we moved into our new home and we are now enjoying it.Another plus point is that we worked with Coral Architecture Studio to design our new home. The architect Soodeh did a great job to create a very customized home for us. As her partner, Blackpearl provided a lot of construction related consultation during the designing process even before they got the job, which is greatly appreciated!We would like to specially thank Vince, our project manager, who had to deal with us day in and day out for over a year. He was patient, friendly and caring! Thank you, Vince!Overall, we highly recommend Blackpearl Custom Homes to everybody who wants to build their dream home and have a good experience!

Black Pearl (specifically Sina) was fantastic to work with during our Bloor West home renovation. The project was quite a daunting one, but Sina guided us through the entire process and we couldn’t be happier with the final result. We would definitely recommend Black Pearl and Sina to anyone looking to do a large renovation or new build.

We selected Black Pearl for the complete renovation of our house (all 3 levels) as they impressed us the most during our extensive interview process given their detailed knowledge of the entire process. From the start of the project until completion (a year later) we had a really productive relationship with them and felt like part of the team. They were genuine, honest and most of all really cared about making sure all our concerns were addresses and that we were satisfied with each stage in the process. All the trades used during our project were of really high quality and delivered on time and on budget. I would highly recommend using Black Pearl for any home renovation/building project.

I spent two years trying to find a reputable builder to help me renovate my East York home. Vince and Sean were a great team to work with. They brought in reliable subs and completed the job on time and on budget. The results were exactly what I was looking for. They have transformed my home into a space my special needs son and I can now live in comfortably for years to come. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking to build new or looking to renovate their existing space.

Black Pearl Custom Homes was recommended to us through a friend, while we were in the process of choosing a builder for our project. We decided to go with them after comparing their price and contacting few of their references.We made it clear that we had a fixed budget, which we had to stick with. They accommodated our requests and wish list and we are happy with the result.The trades were on time and courteous and were accommodating to our changes and time schedule. The Black Pearl crew were present at all stages to provide supervision, suggestions and design ideas.We are very happy with the addition to our house and also how beautiful and functional our new kitchen and bathrooms are. We highly recommend Black Pearl Custom Homes and would definitely work with them again in the future.

After interviewing 5 reputable companies in the GTA I decided to put my trust in the Black Pearl team as they showed a great deal of professionalism and knowledge from day one.The scope of renovation included a new kitchen, all bathrooms, flooring, entrance area, new HVAC system, new electrical system and painting of the entire house.Renovation process was challenging but our project manager Vince was supportive, kept our budget in mind at all times and most importantly brought our vision into reality with no shortage in quality.As part of our vision, we wanted to keep certain elements of our old home intact to keep the vintage character alive. The Black Pearl designers helped us achieve this task beautifully.We are super happy with our new home and would not hesitate to recommend Black Pearl to anyone planning a major renovation.Wonderful job guys! Keep up the good work

We've worked with Vince & Sina at Black Pearl for a few years now on 2 major renos (converting a four storey duplex into a single family home & transforming the rest of the lot - small yard, parking at front).I wouldn't hesitate to use them again (and will do when we save enough to re-do the exterior).I've found Vince & Sina to be honest, fair, responsive & very good at over-coming numerous curve balls that cropped up throughout the job.They've also accommodated an ever-changing budget and wish list in a straight, honest manner.Please see posted photos to review quality of work/ finish. Happy to talk to any prospective customers.....

Custom Homes FAQ
What is the benefit of hiring a Design-Build company?
Building a custom home is a complicated project that involves many steps and participants. It requires experience and knowledge to organize the process and avoid additional expenses. A combined design and construction experience of a professional custom home construction company like Black Pearl provides you with the right planning and budgeting, no surprises, and a positive, rewarding experience.
Do you offer warranties on your custom homes?
We are a registered Ontario home warranty Tarion builder. That means that all our completed new home projects are covered with a 10-year warranty, and renovation projects with 3 3-year warranty on any of the labour.
Who will be responsible for building permits?
Our experienced builders will be applying for building permits to your local Committee of Adjustment. This will save you time and effort and will bring positive results from the first attempt, thanks to our experience and knowledge.
The character of a company is defined by the people who work in it. We build more than just homes. We create beautiful communities.
