Tom and his crew did some work for us on some water damage from a burst pipe in our basement that destroyed one room and half the hallway .Fantastic job! Excellent with communication and was really pleased at the end result. All the dry wall was finished beautifully and the floor looks amazing! Would definitely recommend!
We could not be more thrilled with Peak Living for our commercial project, Gordon's Market & Cafe. The entire team was professional and meticulous throughout the entire project. Peak Living was able to meet a rather tight timeline while delivering an exceptional product. They will be the first we call for any future jobs - do not hesitate to work with Tom and Peak Living.
Great crew! Great work!
Tom is a fantastic business owner. We have been fortunate enough to work with this company and experienced what working with a company that really cares about executing a quality home build is like. They display professionalism and quality craftsmanship in all their work!
I never know when to write a review for a contractor as often they are great until everything winds down, then they vamoose!

Tom was instrumental in the renovation and restoration of our century Heritage, commercially-zoned property in downtown Collingwood. It was a complicated project made more so by Covid and all the various legislative challenges beset on the conversion to a small hotel.

I don't have time to get into the scope and scale of project, for that, feel free to reach out. But recently my family just 'test drove' the property on Thanksgiving weekend (as we are more silent partners). Everything was great and we were really enjoying the new space - until the last morning when my shower leaked and the stack backed up into the new powder room toilet, partially flooding the lounge (2 different issues). We shut the place down and I called Tom. Tom, who btw has had a man from his crew on site during all of the opening procedures, installing, moving, changing, checking, fixing tweaking; Tom, answered his phone and he and the plumber were on site within minutes (literally) of my call. He never complained and was there to help. And help he did. The next day everything was fixed. He also took the opportunity to make a few quick other fixes!

For me Tom has passed all my personal 'tests' of character, skill and acumen. We are now loyal to Tom as we feel he is loyal to us. I highly recommend Tom. He will never tell you what he doesn't know, he will never make promises he can't keep and he'll always be there for you. If you want a contractor that will tell you what you want to hear, good luck with that, don't say I didn't warn you. Tom is worth every penny.
We hired Peak Living and Tom McCrae to renovate our ensuite bathroom, including a new, enlarged tiled shower, new flooring and toilet. He also replaced the flooring in our laundry room and guest bathroom. Tom is extremely knowledgeable and willing to work to our specifications, along with offering his experience and knowledge to ensure the results we wanted. He is extremely flexible and as any little changes popped up he accommodated them for us with a smile.
We are extremely happy with our 'new' bathroom and highly recommend Tom and Peak Living. If we have any further renovations in the future, Peak Living will be our first, and probably only, call.

Great service , very accommodating and excellent workmanship. Started and finished the job as on time as promised. Highly recommend Tom and his crew!

Peak Living was chosen as the contractor for the reno on our family chalet and undoubtedly was the right choice! What started as a reno almost completely turned into a total rebuild of the original Viceroy home. In the 6 months of the project, there was not one day where there was not someone on site, from handling water issues to insulation issues to wasps, the team was able to handle each problem in a cost effective way while keeping us informed. The house has kept its original integrity but has been paired with modern upgrades with Tom and his crews’ keen eye for details. Peak Living realized the sentimentality of the home and was able to utilize many of the older features in new ways. Despite many surprises in the reno of this house, Tom provided us with options and kept us up to date on costs, allowing us to make the final decision. John and I would use Tom and the Peak Living crew again in the future.  He has not only been our contractor but also has become a friend.

We used Tom to renovate our existing 2nd floor bathroom and convert it into 2 bathrooms to create an ensuite. Tom was professional, knowledgeable, and easy to work with. All work was completed in 4 weeks. Tom kept us updated on the progress regularly and the total cost was reasonable. I would recommend Tom to my friends and neighbours.

- Romeo M.

We used Tom and his team to install a ceiling/floor in a main floor office/den that had a cathedral ceiling, so it also created a mezzanine upstairs — about 200 sq. ft. Tom was always on time with a smile, very meticulous, knows what he is doing — very professional with resulting quality workmanship! The project was completed within the expected time frame and budget. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Tom & Peak Living and will certainly use him again in the future.

We just moved into a new home and needed several updates including the installation of kitchen backsplash, safety handrails, laundry shelving plus dryer venting. Tom was on time and provided a realistic estimate. The job was completed very professionally with great care taken to protect adjacent areas including flooring. The job was completed on time, on budget, and we are very pleased with the result. We have already contracted the installation of an egress window for the Spring. Highly recommend Peak Living.

Friendly and professional team that does quality work. Highly recommend.

Tom and his team did a wonderful job on our Blue Mtn basement renovation. It included 2 bedrooms, a 3-piece bath, a rec room and a utility room. From design, permit, construction, inspections, sub trades to the finishing touches, the entire project was managed on time and to budget. We are weekend users of our Blue Mtn ski chalet and as such all the construction interaction with Tom was done by phone, text, and email. I would recommend Peak Living for your construction needs.

Peak Living built a 3-car garage, work area, and storage loft from excavation, foundation, framing, roof and completed sealed building. Tom and his crew are very knowledgeable about construction, building techniques and finishing. They reviewed the plans that I had prepared and they made suggestions and comments that led to a better installation. They looked ahead and kept me posted on progress and next steps. Normally I do my own work around our home, but this project was too much for me to handle alone. I am very picky on how I like things done and Tom and his crew exceeded my expectations. The building inspector and other trades made comments on how well the Peak Living crew had framed and finished their work. All in all, my family and I are very happy with the job Peak Living did and I would highly recommend them.

Peak Living recently completed a basement renovation to add two bedrooms, a bathroom including a shower, plus a computer area. From design through all construction phases we found Tom and his crew to be very considerate and professional, having concern for safety and protection of our property. Tom took care of all aspects ensuring that the design, framing, plumbing and electrical etc. were completed to code. We appreciated that Tom made several suggestions to improve the project and used quality products. We are extremely pleased with the finished product. On time; on budget. We will definitely use these services in the future. Job well done.

- Ken B.

We hired Peak Living to renovate our ensuite bathroom with a new shower, floors and toilet, along with new floors in our laundry room and guest bathroom. We have been extremely satisfied and happy with the work that has been done by Tom and his team. They are extremely knowledgeable, willing to work to your specifications, and very flexible. In addition, as with many renovations, little changes pop up and Tom has been more than willing to spend the extra time with us to ensure our “new” bathroom is everything we had hoped for. If we decide to do any further renovations in our home, we will definitely call upon Peak Living and Tom McCrae.

- Marg L.

I couldn’t be happier with my decision to hire Peak Living! The work was completed on time and was of the highest quality. Tom provided great design input and paid attention to the minor details that resulted in a gorgeous finished product. He was always quick to respond to phone calls and answer questions. I really appreciated the fact that Tom diligently cleaned up the worksite each evening so that the workspace was livable even while under construction. I would hire Peak Living again without hesitation and recommend their work to anyone looking for great quality and hassle free renovation/handy work.

Tom McCrae at Peak Living is a professional. I used him and his crew for various jobs through August and in every case, they performed admirably. He arrived when he said he would arrive, he did what he said he would do, and he charged what he said he would charge. He also offered some very thoughtful and appropriate suggestions, all of which we undertook. I’m pleased to recommend this firm.

Hello Peak Living Team, I wanted to let you know that I am very pleased with the outcome of the condo renovation. It looks fantastic. I was very happy with your team; they were all very courteous and each did their part in a timely manner. You have an excellent project manager. Michael has great “people skills” and I really appreciated that he took the time to give me daily updates. As project manager, he went above and beyond to make sure all of my concerns where satisfied. It was great to work with all of you.

- Jocelyn A.

Tom and his team at Peak Living have been beyond amazing to work with for our commercial renovation project. Tom listened to what we wanted, took our budget into consideration, and delivered exactly what we envisioned. Throughout the process, he was incredibly flexible, helping as much as possible, and always going above and beyond with his level of professionalism and service. He was always available by phone or email anytime we needed to make changes to the plan or needed an update on the progression of the project. We are very happy with the level of workmanship on our project and the end result. We would highly recommend his services to friends and family.

Professional and quick! I had no previous experience or recommendations about Peak Living, but the website looked professional so I called for a small handyman job. I was completely impressed! Tom was professional, communicative about his timing/availability, kind and patient with my decision-making, did a great job and did it quickly! I was at first worried that it might be overly pricey (because the website was so nice), but it wasn’t. The price was exactly what I expected to pay. Thank you, Tom, for getting my job done expediently and done well!

- Carly K.

I am very pleased with this company. They were very professional and reliable. The services performed were top notch. They are organized, on time, and did not compromise the service when something was not possible. They are my “go to” professional whenever I need something done (from simple curtain installations to renovations).

Hi Tom, we got up last night. Basement looks awesome. Layout, walls, plugs, ceiling, bathroom, tub, floor, etc. Joanne and family and friends love it. Great job. Very clean and things put away. Thank you.
