GS Construction is a home renovation contractor based on Division St N in Kingsville, the town right next to Leamington. Gilberto Santos and his crew renovate bathrooms and kitchens, build decks and fences, add space to houses and finish rooms with custom woodwork, and Leamington is one of the four towns where most of that work happens.
Leamington is next door, so a first visit to look at the room or the yard is easy to set up, and the homes, the lake weather and the kind of projects people ask for are the same ones we work with in Kingsville.
Bathroom renovations in Leamington
Bathrooms are one of the projects GS Construction is reviewed for most often. Most Leamington projects fall into one of three sizes: a refresh that keeps the layout and replaces the vanity, the toilet, the tile and the lighting; a full renovation taken down to the studs; or a layout change, such as turning an old tub into a walk-in shower.
A full bathroom takes about two weeks. The part nobody sees decides how long it lasts: a sloped shower base, a waterproof membrane behind the tile and a fan vented to the outside. The work carries a 5-year warranty.
Kitchens, from a refresh to a new layout
Some kitchens need new cabinets, counters and a new layout with an island. Others keep the footprint and change everything you see: the cabinet doors or the cabinets themselves, the counter, the backsplash, the floor and the lighting. Both kinds of kitchen are on our before-and-after pages.
Everything is chosen before the old kitchen comes out, starting with the appliances, so the work is not held up by a delivery once the room is opened up. Kitchen renovations carry a 5-year warranty.
Decks and fences near the lake
Leamington runs along the shore of Lake Erie, and a deck that faces the water takes more wind, spray and freeze-thaw than one in a sheltered backyard. On the lake, the choice of decking, the fastening and footings set below the frost line matter even more. One homeowner on the lake wrote that the decks GS Construction built for them feel solid and secure, with steps that are firm and stable.
Inland, most deck and fence projects start with an old structure that is leaning, rotting or no longer private enough. A new deck or fence takes about a week, and decks and fences carry a 10-year warranty.
Home additions and bigger projects
For families who like their street and need more room, an addition can mean a bigger kitchen and family room at the back, a main-floor bedroom, a sunroom or a suite for a parent. A full addition takes about two months of construction, and the new space is closed in before the existing wall is opened, so the rest of the house stays usable.
Larger projects also include basements, flooring through the house, interior doors and trim, and outdoor builds such as pergolas and gazebos.
Custom woodwork and finishing
Custom woodwork is the part of a renovation built for one house only: shelving on both sides of a fireplace, a media wall, a wet bar with its own counter, a closet system, new stairs and railings. Each piece is measured to the room it goes in, because walls and floors are rarely perfectly straight, and scribed to fit so it looks like it was always there.
The same care goes into trim and doors through the house. New baseboards, casings and interior doors are often the last step of a bigger renovation, and the step that makes the rooms feel finished.
How a project with GS Construction runs
It starts with a visit to your home in Leamington. We look at the space, listen to what you want it to do and point out anything that will shape the plan. The quote follows the visit, before any work starts.
During the work, the site is left clean and organized at the end of each day, which is the thing homeowners mention most in their Google reviews after the quality of the work. GS Construction is fully insured and covered by WSIB, and it takes care of the permit when a project needs one.
