"I recently had the pleasure of working with Leuri and his team to replace two support posts on my carport, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. From start to finish, the experience was smooth, professional, and exceeded my expectations in every way. Leuri, the owner, was fantastic to work with—clear, communicative, and incredibly knowledgeable.. It’s rare to find a contractor who is so responsive and easy to talk to, and Leuri delivered on every promise. The quality of their work is top-notch—the new posts are solid, perfectly aligned, and look even better than the originals. They clearly take pride in what they do, and it shows. I also appreciated how clean and respectful they were of the space. No mess left behind no disruptions—just professional, high-quality work done right the first time. They’ve earned a customer for life!"

"I hired Rebuild the Planet to do some structural repairs on my house. It’s about a century old, and there was some substandard work done in a past renovation. I had an engineer draw up some plans to replace some supports, and shopped them around to a few contractors. Leuri from RtP was by far the most prompt, professional, and detail oriented. He gave me a written quote the following day, and came back for a second look when I told him I expected the quote to be higher. He stood by the quote. He was less expensive because he had a plan to avoid the extraneous work of rerouting wiring and ductwork, not because he was planning to do a cheap job. Leuri did the work himself, with a helper. Both were very respectful to us and our home. They did the job on schedule with no surprises. I don’t think I could have asked for a better experience."

"Absolutely fantastic. We needed someone fast because the roofers were there to install aluminum, but turns out previous owner had done a DIY sunroom and nothing was straight so we needed a carpenter to redo all the framing . Larry came quickly for a quotation which was very reasonable. They did the work fast and efficiently. We even had to update the quotation twice because once we opened it up we had to add things, like change the insulation. If I ever need a carpenter again, this is where I’ll be going. Thanks Larry."

"Had a skylight installed and while the company installed the window on the roof, they did not do any interior framing and insulation work. So I had to find a company to do so and as I had Leuri do my load bearing wall removal 6 years ago (and everything is still in great condition), I reached out to him again for this project. As always, he was pleasant, professional and did exactly what he said he was going to do in the timeline he said he was going to do it. In fact, he squeezed me in as one of his last projects for the year, which was much appreciated! The workmanship he and his team (same team from 6 years ago, which is always a good sign) provided was exactly what we expected and we were glad to hire him again. Would recommend Leuri and hopefully in the future we get to work with each other again!"

"I called Leuri with an unusual project: a custom climbing wall in my garage. I had the plans from an online guide and needed someone to frame and safely mount it. Leuri was friendly, professional and seemed genuinely interested in building something novel. He gave good, practical advice, showed up on time with another team member and they did a great job. It is not easy to find contractors who are open to doing special project and do not overstate their skills! Throughout the build I could see the attention to detail, safety and craftsmanship. Total build took one day for two people including over a ton of work installing hundreds of specialized t-nuts to anchor climbing holds. I know their main focus is framing (which they excel at) but Rebuild the Planet was great at my special project and I highly recommend them. Photo of finished wall (paint and holds I did myself)."

"Out of all the contractors I hired for a complicated series of jobs, Leuri was the best. Incredibly knowledgeable, professional, and respectful. A pleasure to work with and learn from and we will undoubtedly be reaching out in the future. Leuri did structural framing for a load bearing wall I wanted to remove in the form of joist sistering and he also did some duct framing. He was extremely efficient and has a wealth of excellent contacts in the business. Reasonable price for superior work."

"I was extremely happy with the service that Leuri and his team provided throughout my renovation process. Rebuild the Planet was involved right from the beginning with inspection and structural design, then consultation, demolition, and framing. Leuri was able to recommend framing options based on his structural expertise and knowledge. As a homeowner this was very important knowing my home was going to be structurally sound after all the renovations. The demolition process was quick and efficient, Leuri also provided many recommendations during demolition that helped improve the overall end product. The framing work was done to a very high standard which made it easy for other trades such as plumbing, electrical & drywall to finish off the space. Leuri was always very punctual and informative, calling you if any issues arose or if a major decision needed to be made. He approaches his work with the big picture in mind. I would highly recommend Rebuilding the Planet to anyone considering a home renovation."

"I am very pleased with the structural repair that Leuri and his team performed. The ceiling in the master bedroom had bowed down due to broken trusses and they had to remove the bedroom ceiling and insulation. The work performed was not only excellent but they finished on time and on budget. Completely professional company, the rest of the home was not impacted by the repair, they installed a vinyl curtain to keep all the dust from entering the home. I wish there were more companies like this around for home owners, please do not hesitate to hire this most trustworthy and professional company."

"I connected with Rebuild the Planet on Home Stars - read reviews and was impressed - I met with Owner who was professional, detailed, knowledgeable and provided a well prepared quote - I hired Rebuild the Planet and their work was impressive, they were experienced, efficient and completed the agreed scope of work - even times when questions / changes / unexpected issues arose - Rebuild the Planet took the time to answer questions, explain additional details and helped resolve issues - I would definitely recommend Rebuild the Planet and re hire Rebuild the Planet for any future projects."

"Myself being somebody who knew nothing about the trade, Leuri really took the time to understand my problem and come up with a great solution. I had major roof leaking and ventilation issues that needed some complex structural rework. Leuri presented an idea to solve my issues and did all the leg work to ensure the idea was sound from an engineering standpoint. Price was reasonable. Professionalism throughout the whole process. Leuri even followed up on the project even though his work was already done. You know he's looking out for your best interest when he presents ideas to you that would cost his interests. I look forward to working with Leuri in the future and strongly recommend him to anybody who's looking for any type of structural work."

"We hired Rebuild the planet to carryout the structural aspect of our renovation. The project involved removing existing structural walls on the main floor and sistering the joists so we could have an open concept living space. Leuri the owner (who also carries out the work himself) was a pleasure to deal with throughout the project. He is highly experienced, reliable, professional and a friendly person to work with. Leuri was the most knowledgable and detail orientated contractor who estimated the project and that's why we hired Rebuild the planet. I would definitely use his services again and recommend him to family and friends."

"Leuri is the best framer/carpentry tradesperson I have ever hired. His team works efficiently, with high quality results for competitive prices. Most importantly, Leuri is committed to doing things right. Framing is one of (if not the) most important trades during a big remodel as it provides the base for all the other work. Leuri came in and analyzed some complex old house challenges, came up with the best, most practical solution among a number of bids, and, during the work, even corrected unrelated issues leftover from the previous framers work (which would have been big problems, if left uncovered). I highly recommend this company if you want your framing done right!"

"I did a full main floor renovation including kitchen. Moved kitchen fixtures and took down a wall. I used Rebuild the Planet initially for structural work and framing. He was fantastic. I didn't use a general contractor so he gave me a lot of input and my other contractors job. Not only did he do a great job on the framing but he was able to point out a number of other improvements. He communicated transparently and timely. I used about 8 different contractors for this reno (kitchen, plumber, flooring, hvac, drywall etc) and he was by far the best one. Highly recommend!"

"I purchased a 170 year old house a few years ago and last year discovered that a number of the of the joists had rotted where they meet the outer wall sill. In some cases the rot extended to most of the joist. A 'restoration' that had been done to this house a decade before had clearly hidden this with insulation (as evident by paint over the rot and random support structure that seemingly had no purpose - until we found the joist rot). Yeah. After getting an outrageous quote for a solution that was not even the correct way to solve the problem, I contacted Leuri from Rebuild and he came to my house to check it out and provide a quote. The proposed work and price seemed completely reasonable, so I accepted. When the work started it became clear that there was even more damage than originally thought. Leuri worked long hours to get this extra work done, all in a cramped basement (only about 5'6" high) over 3 days. The extra price charged for the additional work was very reasonable and transparent. Learning that the support structure for the main floor of your house is in danger of eventual collapse is nerve-racking. Rebuild solved the problem by directly replacing or sistering the joists and did a great job at a reasonable price. I fully recommend."

"We are very pleased with the entire process, from quote, to installation, to completion. We received multiple quotes to frame our unfinished basement. Leuri was very prompt in both visiting our home and emailing me his quote. His was not the cheapest, nor the most expensive but he was the only contractor whose quote included installing a subfloor under the framing around the perimeter walls, which Was important to me. Leuri and Marcello were professional, polite and open to brainstorming to make sure all of our unfinished space was used efficiently. They were also very accommodating and compromising when it came to dealing with a plumber and his requirements for the rough ins in the bathroom and laundry room. They made the entire process a very smooth one for us. Would high recommend."

"Leuri is everything you'd want in a contractor but find so rarely: honest, personable, responsive, organized, punctual, efficient and, most importantly, a master of his craft. We sent him our engineer's drawings for a quotation and he quickly sent one that detailed the work and at a competitive price. Once we hired him, he contacted our engineer and actually improved on his plan of work! This both reduced our cost and made it possible to install a flush rather than a drop beam. The result is a great canvas for our kitchen contractor (see pics). We're so happy that we hired Leuri and RTP for our project and hope to be able to do so again one day. We highly recommend him."

"Leuri helped me out years ago in removing wall between kitchen and family room on main floor and wal directly below on basement level. Second time around, Leuri helped me out by doing some demo work in the basement, framed up new walls and put down new subfloor through majority of basement. He also helped by opening up existing cold room and framing new walls. Leuri does excellent work and gives great advice. Easy to work with, very reliable and trustworthy. I initiated some changes in how to deal with the cold room but Leuri was very fair with some of the extras. Hopefully I can utilize Leuri for other future projects."

"Nothing but good things to say about Leuri and his company. He has been helpful from when we first purchased the home and did the initial walk down through the work and even after his scope is complete in providing some pointers and things to look out for for other scopes of work. His team is punctual, tidy, and he does top quality work that both my engineer and city inspector complimented. His prices are fair and well worth the money for the end product and experience along the way. I'd highly recommend him to anyone looking for structural/framing work on their project."

"Leuri was the first person involved in our reno and we couldn't be more thankful! Leuri guided us in the right direction in obtaining a drawing and permit. He was punctual each day from giving an estimate to the actual demo. He even gave us suggestions on how we could save our existing walls/cabinets/countertops. Initially we were quoted differently but since some of the work did not need to be done, he was extremely transparent in his work and pricing and we are so grateful for that even though it was a hit for him. He even went as far as suggesting ways and helping my husband with flooring removal. Even after the inspection he came to install 2x4 to help in our next steps. He is reliable, honest, knowledgable and leaves no waste behind. His client-service not only shows through his work but his character as well. Thank you Leuri!"

"I contacted Rebuild The Planet to get an estimate for demolishing and re-framing a number of walls in my basement, as well as garage walkout. Leuri was responsive, professional, courteous and knowledgeable- he came over to provide an estimate and actually suggested a number of changes that improved upon what I initially had in mind, and left me with more additional storage space than I had anticipated. Leuri and his team did a great job, took care of all the disposal of material, and didn't leave until they had left the place completely clean. Highly recommend and will work with Rebuild The Planet for my next project as well."

"Thankfully, sometimes the reviews are actually right, count your blessings when they are too often they are not! We got several quotes and were leaning towards Leuri and RTP due to so many good reviews, then Leuri came to quote and I could tell he knew his stuff and cared more than the others that came, he was also very competitive with pricing so here we are happy customers! This was our most important contractor choice, our house was built by Mickey Mouse & Disney, our load-bearing wall was never even supported properly from the start, therefore our roof either! We also wanted a flush beam and some companies made that very undesirable due to pricing, and we almost had no option to do it because it is a 21 foot length total and the joists are only 2 x 8's. Leuri came up with a couple creative options and he and YCL Engineering talked it over to confirm it would meet code, see the attached pics for the result. Leuri also re-built the 2 small side walls for us, replaced some flooring to make it level and some other odd jobs. Leuri and his help were really great to work with; friendly, reliable, flexible, practical AND you get great high quality work. He's really a great guy too and you can tell he cares and takes great pride in his work, something you don't see often enough nowadays. Thanks guys for the great job, if the dam reno ever gets done they'll be smoked food waiting for you in the new giant kitchen at the house-warming!

"Leuri is highly professional and always on time. We purchased a new house and 2 load bearing walls needed to be removed. Larry came in for the initial assessment and explained everything in detail. Once the work started it was done on time. Removal of walls, kitchen and the flooring was done very neatly and they cleaned up the site every day after they had finished working. our general contractor came in and inspected the 2 steel beams Larry installed. He said the job was done professionally and beautifully. Larry takes pride in his work. We would recommend Larry to friends and family in a heartbeat. Thanks, Larry for the quick turn around."

"This is our second time with Leuri. Great skills, price, knowledge and great guy. We had a supporting wall, a secondary smaller wall and a 18 foot beam installed. You will never be disappointed with Leuri. He will always do the a great job and done the right way. And will always stand by his work no matter what. For a job like this or any structural project you want to make sure it's always done right and not have your family at risk specially when dining under a huge metal beam. We have had this beam in now a few months and it hasn't budged one bit solid as it was installed. Thanks again Leuri amazing as always. 10 out of 10 for me and the family!"

"The service provided by Leuri and his team was exceptional. I couldn't believe people like Leuri do exist in the home renovation business. - Very friendly and polite. - Extremely knowledgeable with his kind of work. Provided expertise and advise on other areas of home renovations. - He's always upbeat and enthusiastic on his work. - Always tidied up work area end of day. - Willing to go extra mile in preparation for the inspection. - Get work done quietly without disturbing the home owner. - Provide good references to other companies. Personal comments: When I see Leuri in my home I feel that I am in good hands. Have you seen a skillful father building a tree house for his own children? Yes, that how Leuri was when he work for us. I would definitely recommend Leuri. Also I think he should be put in charge to rebuild the planet."

"I found Leuri through reviews on Homestars. He removed our load bearing wall, and replaced it with a beam (to create an open concept - living room, dinner room and kitchen now one space) . He was very knowledgeable and easy to work with. His knowledge was evident when dealing with the city inspector. The project was completed on time, within the agreed cost (no surprises). He was very prompt in responding to all my queries, whether through emails or phone calls. Some changes had to be made to the structural engineer drawings, and Leuri voluntarily took the lead to work with the engineer, ensuring all the revisions were made in time for the inspection. Working with Leuri gave us peace of mind, and provided an amazing open concept. I highly recommend him for any framing, or similar projects you maybe considering. He is knowledgeable, professional, personable and very easy to work with."

"Leuri and his crew are true gems in their industry. They are extremely knowledgable and very approachable to work with. Framing and structural changes are generally the most stressful part of a build but they made it a breeze for us - we ran into some initial snags with existing structural issues but they quickly worked with our engineer to find effective solutions. Leuri is a true gentleman to deal with and I would strongly recommend his work for any structural or framing work. Our family thanks him greatly for the wonderful work."

"I contacted Leuri initially for another job, which ended up being larger and needed a full GC. I remember his professionalism and attention to detail, so when it came time to finish my basement, I rang him up. He came over and we walked through what was needed in terms of framing and gave me good options and ideas regarding bulkhead and how to cover water mains, etc. He worked with my budget and was able to cover what I needed for the rest of the basement. He and his team showed up on time, finished when he said he would (1 day), and the work was top notch. He cleaned up after himself and it was cleaner than when we got there. He was also able to work with all my stuff in the middle of the way, as the basement was used for storage. Highly recommend - I've had bad contractors, and he is a breath of fresh air."

"I found Leuri’s contact information on homestars. I was looking for a contractor for lead bearing wall removal for quite sometime. When I discussed my project with Leuri, he suggested getting some architectural drawings so he could give an exact estimation. I finally got some drawings and scheduled Leuri for the work. I could easily say from his work that he has a lot of experience on it and knew exactly what needed to be done and when. He installed 2 posts on the main floor and another one in the basement over the new footing. The city inspections passed with the breeze. I would highly recommend his services to anyone looking to take down walls with peace of mind. Great work Leuri!!"

"Leuri was professional and trustworthy. He was able to give dates and meet all deadlines accordingly. Very accommodating and the finished outcome was outstanding. After our inspection with the City the City wanted some items changed and Leuri was prompt on coming back to complete these items (and this was after he was already paid!). I would highly recommend Leuri-Rebuild The Planet to anyone doing any Reno projects. He was even able to refer other contractors for (HVAC and an Engineer). Outstanding customer service Leuri."

"My husband and I found Leuri on HomeStars based on reviews which is why I am writing this one, to let others know who are looking for someone that is professional, reliable, and knowledgable - to look no further. All the glowing reviews about Leuri and his team are accurate to our experience. The quality and timely manner of the renovation work done on our century home truly exceeded our expectations. Leuri is a rare find. We will be using him again in the spring for more renovation work. This is a person you can trust 100%."

"We wanted to create a more open concept main level, which included removing a load bearing wall in the kitchen/dining room, as well as another small wall (which was not expected to be load bearing). When the small wall ended up to also be load bearing, Leuri was able to provide a structural solution to allow this wall to be removed (he also consulted with a structural engineer to confirm). We had complete confidence with Leuri and his team. They were professional, provided updates throughout the process and even came in under the quoted price. I would not hesitate to recommend Leuri and his team for any other projects! We are very happy with the work Leuri and his team did for us."

"Rebuild The Planet was, from the very beginning, the best decision I've made when it came to renovating my home! I had consulted with Leuri initially and he provided me with a contact for a structural engineer (YCL Structural Designs) he works with. After the engineering reports came through, the process from scheduling Leuri and his team was seamless - from the quoting process, to the work performed, and the cleanup. I am very impressed with his team, and his diligence to do great work and be very professional the entire time. I have already recommended Leuri to my neighbors and family who are also in the market to renovate, and I would not hesitate to use Rebuild The Planet again. They provide a worry free service, with peace of mind - at the end of the day, my loved ones are safe and secure knowing that Leuri and his crew are the best at what they do. I very sincerely highly recommend Rebuild The Planet, as I will look forward to working with this company once again in the future."

"I had contracted Leuri and his team to remove a load bearing wall in my home and install a steel beam supported by 2 steel posts. In addition, they removed an old wood burning fireplace that was taking up a lot of space in the living room corner. I can only say great things about this company - great communication, punctuality, attention to detail, and workmanship. The whole process took only few days, including the visit by the city inspector, who was also happy and approved the work done."

"Leuri was such a pleasure to work with. We had a couple of walls removed and a few things that needed to be framed around our new home (i.e: Load barring wall removal, moving bathroom wall, moving door, putting in a shampoo box in the shower etc). He was very knowledgeable and experienced, and works with a great team that made the process stress-free to our family. This company was referred to us by a co worker that praised the work Leuri had done in his home, and he did not disappoint in ours. We would highly recommend this company for small or large jobs. He explains the process clearly and his price is very fair."

"Rebuild the Planet came highly recommended to me from my structural Engineer. Leuri was very prompt on providing an estimate which was detailed and accurate. From the start to the end of the project I was kept fully informed of the progress and he was always accessible. When unexpected challenges arose I felt Leuri went above and beyond to coordinate with my other contractors to resolve the issue in a prompt manner. Lastly, I found him and his entire crew extremely professional and courteous! Needless to say, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Rebuild the Planet! Full Scope of the project. - Removal of a Load Bearing Wall and Exterior Wall - Installation of a Load Bearing Beam/Posts - Removal of a Ceiling - Framing for Windows / Doors - Construction of a New Landing for Stairs - Installation of a new garage man door / lintel"

"I found Leuri through home stars reviews and I was not disappointed at all, he lived up to every compliment on the site. From the first call he was able to talk as long as needed without rushing me about my project and sharing his knowledge about the project as well as other questions I had and I knew right away he was the right person for the job. He stayed consistent when he came for the quote as well right until the end of the job. He showed up when he said he would, he completed when he said he would, he was a pleasure to talk to, he provided me contacts for other jobs I had going on which all ended up being solid people as well. He provided advice and guidance about other things he saw other contractors doing in the house while he was there, not in a criticizing way but looking out for me so I could get things done properly for my own good. I have been involved with many contractors as we totally gutted and renovated this house and Leuri is the most honest, easy to talk to, patient, knowledgeable, get the job done guy I have met so far. He surrounds himself with good guys as well, when we were around and curious Jared always took the time to explain what he was doing as we were fascinated and Andy as well was right down to work, get in, get out. The best part, Leuri ended up saving money on his end and passed the savings on to me, yes you read that right, he also was able to widen another room for me quite easily, so did it no charge. You are in good hands with Leuri, if you are considering, pick up the phone and book the job right now, you will not regret it. Almost forgot, The city had some concerns with the engineers drawings, and Leuri sorted it out with the Engineer and the city on my behalf and we got the all clear. I cannot say enough good things here."

"When I first called Leuri, I was looking for someone who could start working on our renovations as soon as possible. The earliest time that Leuri had available was almost three months from the time we spoke. However, based on the three minute conversation we had, something told me that I was not going to find better. It was the best decision we made and it was well worth the wait. Leuri was actually able to start a couple of weeks before the initial start date and completed everything ahead of or on schedule. The work he did was excellent and top notch. He was there everyday when he said he would be there and was really professional throughout the entire process. I was pregnant at the time and Leuri was very mindful of that. Since I could not spend a lot of time at the house during the renovations because I was pregnant, Leuri always informed me of anything that came up and made it easy for me to be away from home but still understand what was being done. He understood how important it was for us to get on with the renovations and did everything he could to complete things as quickly as he could for us. Leuri also never hesitated to help us out with jobs that popped up as part of other renovations we were doing. The framing in the basement looks great and Leuri was always helpful and collaborative when speaking with some of our other trades. Leuri made quite an impression on everyone who had the chance to meet him when he was over. He was even kind enough to bring us a gift for the baby when she was born and a jar of homemade tomato sauce following a conversation he had with my husband about it. I can't say it enough....he's just a really good person who genuinely cares for his customers! We would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone we know."

"What more could be said about Leuri and his crew that wasn’t said? We met in April for a date in July. I was thinking that that 3-month lag time would mean that there was a chance that he might get delayed because who knows what could happen in three months. Glad to say I was wrong! Not only did they come when they said they would, they were in and out in less than two days...crazy for the amount of work they did! Reasons I like Leuri and the crew: -knowledgeable -professional -funny guys -went over with me step by step what they were going to do -did some extra steps to ensure I didn’t have to do extra work (i.e. made the steel beam fit in a way so they didn’t have to take down the front door, which other guys might’ve done because it would’ve been easier) -charged very fairly for the work and materials (including extra, more expensive materials he didn’t charge for like LVL’s), and allowed for flexible payments -that Leuri insisted on getting a proper building permit because he could stand behind his work (the city inspector approved it in mere minutes, even commenting to me that “whoever did this knew what they were doing”) Reasons I didn’t like Leuri and the crew: - - - So anyway, hire these guys if you want them to properly rebuild your planet...errr...home. I did and am glad I found them on Homestars!"

"First I have to apologize to Leuri and the guys at Rebuild the Planet, they have done two different jobs for me, one over two years ago and I have not written a review until now. The first job was to remove a load bearing wall separating my kitchen and living room. This entailed installing a huge LVL beam over 22' feet long in the ceiling and one over 11' long in the floor to support it without putting a post in the middle of the room in the basement. So not the simplest job. Also, it should be said that I do all of my own work other than structure, plumbing and electric and I am supper picky about who works on my house and HOW they do it. The team at Rebuild the Planet never batted and eye over any of my requests or questions and even surpassed my expectations with regards to quality and speed of work. Leuri is also excellent at giving design ideas and was super responsive to a couple of tiny issues that the inspector brought up and fixed them the same day. The second job they did for me was to tear down and rebuild an old extension on the front of my house that was never done properly the first time and was drafty and starting to rot. We redesigned it and Rebuild the Planet made it happen, we are super happy about how it turned out. I would recommend these guys to anyone looking for excellent workmanship at a fair price. Thanks guys."

"I hired Leuri to frame my 2 story addition and install the required LVL beams. From start to finish Leuri was a true pro. He provided updates on a regular basis and when issues arose he always had a recommended approach or options to consider. On several occasions Leuri went above and beyond to ensure my addition was properly constructed and completed on time. He truly had my best interests in mind which I really appreciate. I was also impressed that many of the other trades (siding & roofer) were complimentary of Leuri's work. I highly recommend Rebuild the Planet and I am looking forward to getting Leuri back to frame my basement."

"We wanted to remove a bearing wall in the basement of our bungalow, but we could not decide which type and length of a beam should be installed. We were lucky to find Rebuild The Planet on Homestars. The reviews were great and we noticed that people said that Larry, the manager, gives very good advice. We contacted the company and started to plan the work. Our options were one 10ft LVL, one 10ftLVL and one 11ft LVL, or a steel beam of 19, 21 or 24 ft. The choice was dependent on cost, future layout and having a post in the middle of the basement or not. Larry presented us with all those options, told us about estimated price and benefits and drawbacks of each option. He visited us twice and we had quite a few conversations and e-mails. We decided to go with a24ft steel beam and no posts. Larry scheduled the works in a very short time. His crew was at the site on time, they all did perfect job. Larry helped us with advice and with inspections. In several days, our new beam was installed and the site was left clean. Larry and his team were very professional, the work was done to perfection and we really did not have to do anything except to schedule the inspections when Larry notified us that the work was complete. I will recommend Rebuild The Planet to anyone who requires structural work."

"I just want to thank Leuri for doing an amazing job, my wife and I are both extremely happy with the removal of the 2 load bearing walls. It was great to see a true professional who cares about what he does and it shows in the end product. I am not one to hire people to do things as I have been burned in the past, so I was a little skeptical hiring Rebuild the Planet, but I am so glad I did!!! Leuri completed the project within the time he said and without any hidden or extra fees at the end. They showed up on time, were courteous, very professional, and provided great suggestions for when I get to the finishing stage of our remodel. If I ever need assistance with future projects you will definitely be my go to for contractors, and I would have no hesitation recommending Rebuild the Planet to anyone for their future projects."

"Had Leuri close off an 'open-to-above' area with the addition of a floor. We also had some bulkheads and a window seat installed for running HVAC runs to the new room. Leuri & his time were extremely quick with their work and did an outstanding job. Always arrived when promised and completed the work on time and per agreed price. It's hard to find reliable trades people these days but between Rebuild the Plant (structural), our HVAC, plumber, Hardwood Installers/Drywallers - Leuri was by far the best. Very happy with his service and would recommend him to anyone doing any type of structural or carpentry work."

"I contacted Leuri based on positive reviews on Homestars to install an LVL beam to replace a bearing wall at the basement stair. Right at the beginning I knew that he is trustworthy person. He was very busy at the time but there was one day that he would be free. He would come and see me on the day and if everything was ok he woud proceed. The jobs was done in half a day and the job site was clean. I will no hesitate to contact him a gain if there is anything need to be done. In fact I will contact him soon to work on my garage. Thanks Leuri."

"Leuri was exceptional to work with. Very dependable and a true wealth of knowledge. Leuri helped me out tremendously when working with the other trades as well. He has fantastic suggestions as we went along on the project. Our project was the gutting of a heritage home and the construction of a (2) story addition on the back of the existing structure. Leuri and his team provided farming for the entire project including sistering the Old joists with LVSs in the original structure. Leuri also worked with a structural engineer to install (2) massive steel beams used for support when load-bearing walls were removed. Leuri was an absolute pleasure to deal with and I have nothing but the highest recommendation for him and his team. Would most definitely hire him again for future projects."

"Rebuild The Planet was contacted for help to remove the load bearing wall between my kitchen and family room on main floor and to remove load bearing wall directly below on basement level. Leuri had a structural engineer he worked with and his engineer assisted in putting design requirements together for the project. I submitted the permit application to the city. Leuri was great to work with, reasonably priced, and very accommodating. Leuri showed up as discussed and completed project quickly. No issues and I would gladly use Rebuild The Planet for future renos."

"Leuri really deserves a rating of 11 stars out of 10. He went above and beyond to complete intricate framing works in my basement - I am very particular about workmanship, as Leuri can attest to. If I could only use 3 words word to describe Leuri they would be: "Master Framing Carpenter" In my 35 plus years experience in the construction and engineering industry I have never met a better group of individuals led by Leuri, that in my humble opinion, are one of the best companies in the construction framing business. I was immediately impressed by Leuri upon our initial meeting. First and foremost, Leuri is a very humble and respectful human being - seldom do you find these qualities - especially amongst contractors. His expertise in construction framing is quite evident when you speak to him, he is very knowledgeable and up to date with current Building Code requirements and is able to "think outside of the box". The best way to describe my dealings with Leuri and his great crew at Rebuild The Planet is as follows: Professional, respectful, knowledgeable, excellent workmanship, extraordinary people skills, punctual, expeditious, down to earth, no pressure sales tactics, excellent communication skills, immaculate job cleanup, excellent workmanship guarantee. The basement layout plan I created was, to say the least, a very detailed geometric design requiring precision layout and execution. Leuri's confidence and expertise rubs off on his crew and they performed the framing layout with no problem - especially when working with existing exterior walls that are not "square" and when the existing concrete slab is not true to be level - this is the true mark of a " Master Framing Carpenter ". Leuir provided excellent feed back and resolution to particular problem areas regarding limiting headroom caused by heating supply ducts - once again he demonstrated the ability to "think outside of the box" to help resolve issues not only during construction but also prior to construction during our initial visit. Leuri is very skilled, he actually assisted me on the spur of the moment to help level the existing concrete floor when my original contractor, who was scheduled to do this work, cancelled out on me at the last minute - Leuri helped out on a Sunday in order to keep the job on schedule - thanks again Leuri, that was very kind of you and very professional. Leuri has a very good structural insight as well, we exposed an existing concrete block support column which I thought may have been compromised from previous demolition work - however, upon closer inspection, Leuri re-assured me there were no issues - I concurred given my structural background. In my humble opinion: If you are looking for any type of construction framing - no matter how complicated, whether structural elements are involved or not, please do not hesitate to call Leuri - you will not be disappointed - he is passionate about providing excellent work - you will be in good hands. Please do not hesitate to contact me for a reference, you may reach me via text at 705-828-9425 sincerely, Roy Carretta, CET, AFC"

"After some debate of whether or not I would tackle the project myself, we decided to hire someone to frame our basement for us, and thankfully we found "Rebuild the Planet" to do all the framing work in our basement. From beginning to end, Leuri was fantastic. After receiving a few quotes, we decided to stick with Leuri for a few reasons. 1. Response time: was amazing - we had received the first response within a day, and responses to any questions via e-mail usually the same day. Other companies would not respond for up to a week or longer - so in my mind, if it takes a week to respond for a job opportunity, how long will it take to respond if a problem arises? Leuri was GREAT at responding to any questions or concerns we had from day 1 to completion. 2. Knowledgeable and helpful: We had provided a floor plan of what we had in mind, and we walked through it together. Throughout the walk around, Leuri provided some advice as to how to improve the design and layout, and pointed out a few details that other trades didn't consider (for example, ways re-route duct work and central vac lines to minimize bulkheads, concerns of a water line that might leak in the future, etc). 3. Flexible and Punctual: Leuri was on time, to the minute, that he said he would be there, and was very flexible with my schedule - even coming to do the layout on a Sunday afternoon! Not only that, but it is obvious that they pay attention to schedule and make it as efficient as possible - Leuri had suggested the work could be done a week ahead of schedule - when was the last time you had someone perform work done EARLIER than originally planned? Post-Work: Over-all very happy with the results - one minor correction was needed, and Leuri came back the next day to solve it. Dimensions are exactly as we had requested, and after a few measurements I took, all the walls appear square, straight, and ready for drywall! The only thing I can say is thank you for the hard work, and prompt service!"

"Leuri to the rescue! After going through a horrible experience with our former contractor which we had to fire, we decided to be our own contractors. We thought the former contractor completed the demo in our house but to our surprise when Leuri arrived, it was clear the demo work was not completely done. Leuri took the time to explain to us what he needed to demo in order for him to frame. His honesty and helpfulness even after the project was done renewed our faith in people in this line of work. Upfront Leuri stated he was booked up to the second week in Nov but there were 2-3 rain days coming during the week that he could squeeze us in. We jumped on the opportunity and like he stated it was raining and he was ready to work. His process the smooth and he was very clean even during the demo. I would recommend Leuri and his company. Absolutely love the results and now we can get on to our next project. If Leuri was a plumber or electrician, I would have of hired him like yesterday!!! Thank you so much Leuri and Rebuild The Planet"

"As there is not many workers like Leuri in the GTA i was afraid i was going to find some one who didn't know what they were doing. But after speaking to Leuri i was happy i found him. Even if i was a little far east of the Toronto he came to do the job, i had stucco work happening at the same time so it was important to communicate and coordinate with the stucco crew for this project. But he did so perfectly. He took it upon him self to arrange the process. And was able to work in different stages based on our other projects. The other crew that was there watched Leuri work and their feedback was," this guy is good he is doing all the things the way they should precise measurements making sure its all level and done right" We also got great feedback from our neighbors saying what a great job he did. And if something is wrong he stands by his work and comes out to either fix things if something was off or make sure your happy with the alternative. 10 out of 10 for sure!"

"As part of our kitchen renovations, we decided to remove the load bearing wall separating the kitchen and dining room. I found Rebuild The Planet via Homestars, and chose them over several other companies I had contacted. As with any renovation project, a week prior to Leuri and team coming in, I opened up the wall to discover that there were water supply lines, drains and a HVAC line. I didn't know whether it was my responsibility to have these removed before Leuri came in. He reassured me that there was nothing to worry. The job lasted 2 days, and I really didn't have to worry. There were a few hiccups, but Leuri took care of everything without breaking a sweat. Before we knew it, the wall was removed and the space completely redefined. City inspection passed with ease. Him and his crew were extremely professional and courteous. The job site was cleaned meticulously. As long as Leuri is in business, I will continue to use his services exclusively for any structural/framing projects that I have. Thank you Leuri and team, for guiding us effortlessly through one of the more critical phases of our large renovation. It has been a complete pleasure working with you."

"After consulting a number of "handymen" about our warped front door, we had been told that the only fix was to remove the entire oversized door frame and rebuild from scratch. This would have been very invasive and costly. Fortunately we were referred to Rebuild The Planet. Leuri quickly diagnosed the problem and had the door fixed within minutes. He is punctual, professional, solution-oriented, and, most importantly, an all-around good person. Thanks Leuri! We will continue to use your services and strongly recommend him to friends and family."

"I purchased my first home recently and it was a fixer upper. After completing demolition on the home main level I discovered the structure and existing beam supports to be very old and dangerous. Leuri visited my home promptly, assessed the situation with an effective solution, gave me a quick quote and time line of his availability. Luckily Leuri was able to find some extra time to visit the home earlier than expected and complete the work, making it easier to have my other trades workers come to work on my sooner than expected as well. Thanks to Leuri, my home is now structurally sound and was able to provide me with a lot of tips and knowledge as to what I can do with my home at the present time and in the future. I would definitely use Leuri's services again if needed & would recommend him to anybody in need of his services."

"We had a fireplace installed incorrectly. Leuri came in and quoted the job and scheduled a day he was available to do the work on the spot. Very responsive and knowledgeable about his work. The fireplace required a 42" opening, Leuri came in, cut the studs, installed the header and installed the jack studs all within less than half a days work. He even supplied extra vapour barrier to finish the job for after the fireplace installation. Leuri was beyond professional, very clean, prompt and curtious. I would recommend him to quote any renovation that required his expertise."

"Leuri and his team did an AMAZING job building our new home! Rebuild the Planet is the company to build your next home! Attention to detail was carried out at every stage of the framing process. From the beginning Leuri had his work cut out for him, the company I had hired for my foundation poured it out of square and level. By the time Leuri and his team had framed the first floor everything was level and square in our new home. I have contracted over 50 homes and have never had someone so courteous and cautious to the betterment of a project. The guys finished on time and on budget. Even after everything was complete Leuri still came back to finish little odds and ends of things. It was great having Leuri build our new home, I know that our house was built right and built safe. Leuri is not just a tradesmen he is a true craftsmen!"

"I was in the process of getting my garden sliding patio door replaced when it was discovered that the structural rim joist running along the perimeter of my house, and under the sliding patio door, was found to be rotted due to water seepage over many years. This had to be replaced in order for the patio door replacement work to proceed. Since this is a critical support component that forms part of the foundation of the house, I began a search for a contractor who was experienced in structural issues and how to tackle them. After some searching I found Leuri who agreed to come to my house to assess the situation. When he arrived, his experience and knowledge of the problem became apparent to me very quickly and he was able to propose an innovative approach to "surgically" remove and replace the parts of the rotted joist, subfloor and sill plate with minimum disruption to my home. I want to add that I have a finished kitchen area with marble floor tiling (which were not touched) and a finished basement from where he was able to perform a majority of the work with minimum disruption. The work was completed as quoted and within a day. All waste materials were cleaned up very well and my home was left in a clean state. I highly recommend Leuri for any type of structural framing work, he definitely has the experience and the ability to execute this type of work. Thank you again Leuri."

"Larry is a true professional! I needed to get my basement framed and from the first phone call, Larry was very responsive, punctual, and very knowledgeable. He always returned phone calls and showed up on the date and time he promised. The entire experience was very pleasant and Larry is very patient and even came back a few times to accommodate my various changes. I will definitely use this company again and would recommend him to my friends and family. The cost was competitive and there were never any hidden fees or surprises. It is very hard to find a trustworthy contractor, especially one who is friendly and who sticks to his word. Call Rebuild the Planet for your next quote, you will not be disappointed."

"I want to thank Larry for an amazing job!!!!!!!!!!! 8 months ago I bought a house that I decided to rebuild. The project was to rebuild the back of the house... reframe the main floor and add a second story. in the front of the house... a lot of custom framing work was required to change the entire look of the house. and inside a lot of minor framing required to the basement and existing framing. so my project began by trying find a framing contractor. I researched a bit online to find 3-4 contractors. I'm always skeptical about reading reviews because you never know if the reviews you read are real or if the contractor asked a friend to post something...lol. THIS POST IS AS REAL AS IT GETS!!!!! AND IM EXCITED TO SHARE MY STORY FOR THOSE OF YOU LOOKING TO HIRE A FRAMMING CONTRACTOR..... So I called Larry from rebuild the planet and we booked an appointment. from our first meeting, he was punctual, professional and extremely knowledgeable. i asked him for a quote, which he emailed to me 2 days later. his prices are very reasonable. not the cheapest but not the most expensive. (i tend to never go with the cheapest contractor....it worries me when some contractors can be 30-40% cheaper than the average. i found the cheap guys always seem to be the least knowledgeable. from the moment he started, i cannot say 1 thing bad about this man and his company. my architect who has over 20 years experience met with him on site and told me that he seem to be the most knowledgeable framer he ever met. NICE!!! Larry and his crew started on the date he set and finished 2 days before he said he would complete it . everything was inspected of course by the city and passed. no problems!!!! Hiring Larry was the best decision i made in this project. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for framing work.... big or small. I'll try and post some before and after photo's so you can see what he did. AMAZING JOB LARRY !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

"We retained Rebuild the planet as sub contractor to replace our existing carpenter for the load bearing project we were working on. What a relief to have someone who cares for your projects as much as we do. Leuri and team picked up where the others left off without any problems and were professional, clean and fair. If you are looking to work with a company you can trust and have fair pricing, Rebuild the planet is for you. Thank-you Leuri, We are looking forward to working on many other projects with you."

"Leuri did an AMAZING job on repairing my gazebo that another person just threw up. The roof was top heavy and we needed to brace the structure for 3+ years... atleast until Leuri came. He suggested a design that would minimize the cost and provide the safest possible structure for my family. A few changes needed to be made along the way, but we stayed on budget. The finished product looks great and will last for years to come. I built my home from scratch and Leuri is the only trade that we provided payment upfront for, so I was a little nervous. Leuri is extremely honest and trustworthy. I would recommend him to anyone."

"Leuri's company, "Rebuild the Planet", did a major bathroom reno for us--including moving walls, replacing electrical, removing a load bearing wall, etc. He did a wonderful job. Leuri was there when he said he would be there. I found him to be very honest and diligent--he used the materials we agreed he would use; he didn't settle for "good enough"--every thing was done "right"; when he said a different worker was going to show up to do a certain job, his worker showed up on time and did great work. He didn't leave until the job was 100% done. I'd recommend him any time. Thanks Leuri!"

"I contacted Rebuild The Planet and received very quickly a fair quote on removing a 13ft structural wall in my unfinished basement and replacing it with a beam. Leuri explained the work he would perform and the materials he would use based on experience with this type work. His reference validated his qualification. Rebuild The Planet was very accommodating on my timeline. The work they performed was done professionally and workmanship was meticulous and precise. I would recommend this company to anyone who needs specialty framing done."

"We hired Leuri for 2 major home expansion project once in 2007 and in 2013. Leuri is reliable, honest and did a great job on our house. Our 2nd project was a large one. Removing our roof and ceiling and adding a 2nd storey with new roof all that in December. Leuri and his team ensured our house and belongings was kept protected from the weather and secured from outsiders. He also assisted with coordinating the other contractors/trades while I was out. I recommend him for your constructions/renovation projects."
