Reviews of Sider Bros Builders LTD (Contractor)

David Rich

35 Years ago Lorry and I purchased a summer home on the Canadian Lakeshore. It was a 70 year old home that was indeed a "Fixer upper". At that time we decided to start a renovation and our architect suggested we contact Sider Brothers. Carlton and Leonard soon came on board as our contractors. I remember Carlton often bringing his youngest son Shawn, to assist his him and his brother Wayne tin helping us with normal maintenance on our lawn. In over 35 years the Sider Brothers have been the only contractor we have ever used. Besides our own home, they have built our pool, pool house, our son's house, and our guest apartment. we have been so totally pleased with their work that we again chose them last year to build a new home for us. Obviously this says a lot about their work, but more so it says a great deal about them personally. Sider Brothers are our builders of choice, but more importantly they are our friends.

Shawn Sider and the team at Sider Bros. do extraordinary work. They finished our basement and remodeled our kitchen and living room, and we could not be more pleased with the experience and the finished product. Their attention to detail and craftsmanship is without peer. Apart from the work they perform themselves, they have terrific relationships with an array of talented and dependable suppliers and tradespeople. We would recommend them without hesitation and intend to use them for our next home improvement project.

The Sider Bros built our current home. They do very good quality work! They really stand behind their work and warranties. Definitely recommended

Malcolm Lamacraft

Shawn and his team are a pleasure to work with - we have always found their work to be of the highest calibre and they seem to have great relationships with quality sub-trades too. In our experience everyone with the company is a genuinely nice person, which is a quality not to be underestimated during a major (and therefore lengthy) build! We can recommend Sider Bros wholeheartedly.

We are so happy with our beach house renovation! Shawn was sensational from beginning to end. This is a beach house that is shared by 5 families so there were many opinions flying around. Shawn helped guide us through the confusion. The quality of Sider Brothers work is the best I’ve seen! Every inch is pristine! Custom custom custom! Everyone who comes to the beach house just says “Wow!”

Ken Martens

We are very pleased with Sider Brothers extensive restoration of our Victorian lake house. There were many unique construction challenges associated with the restoration and Shawn always came up with excellent solutions. Several different crews worked on the project and they have all been very pleasant, efficient, flexible, and honest. When working inside the house, they were very considerate. Sider Brothers' work is always very high quality and we would highly recommend them. Marie and Ken Martens

Was a great experience Made building a house enjoyable from start to finish. 5 star service, 5 star workmanship, and the list of five stars could keep going.... Look forward to building my next house with Sider Bros

The workmanship is first class, and his crew and sub-contractors are among the best trades people in the Niagara Region. He came in almost to the penny to original estimate; we did go over budget, but I can account for every cent going only into upgrade choices on materials of construction. I was impressed. Responding to concerns- I always received some response the same day, even just to say when he would be respond fully; generally he was waiting on me. I value him for his honesty, consistency and respect for the dignity of others; he can be firm and forceful with his people. I'm an engineer, to me the best part of this house was covered in drywall; my wife disagrees, she adores the trim and built-in furniture.

We built our dream home with Sider Bros four years ago. The entire experience was a joy from start to finish. Shawn and his team ensured every step was an enjoyable experience and each detail was carefully addressed. Thank you Shawn, We love our home and with each passing day we enjoy it a little more. Samantha and Rob Booth.

We love our new home! We would happily use Sider Bros for any future build!

Sider Brothers built our bungalow on the shore of Lake Erie two and a half years ago. Our project was modest relative to many of their other ventures. Nonetheless we were treated as VIPs. The entire build from conception through design and construction was positive and the end result exceeded our expectations. Words that describe the experience are accommodating, quality, high standards and attention to detail. They were sensitive to our needs and it was apparent that their interest was in building the home we wanted. They always responded to our wants and wishes with a positive ‘can and will do’ approach throughout. Every person associated with the project was conscientious and brought an elevated level of professionalism and delivered quality work and craftsmanship.

Molly Fitzpatrick

Sider Bros did a brilliant job building our guesthouse. Their quality surpassed our expectations and the end result was perfection. I would highly recommend using Sider Bros for your next construction project.

Mark Talarico

I've had 4 homes built by different builders over the years and Sider Brothers are by far the best builders I've ever worked with. Their attention to detail and quality is second to done. Shawn and his team are terrific to work with, professional and help you through the process every step of the way. Would highly recommend Sider Brothers! Mark Talarico

Sider Bros Builders LTD is the premier builder in the Niagara Region. Shawn Sider leads a team of Incomparable master craftsmen. Their experience, creativity and attention to detail is unequaled. Our home was built by Shawn's father 35 years ago. When we recently enlarged and remodeled the house, we insisted on Shawn Sider as our builder. We couldn't be more pleased with the results!

William Gisel

We have been working with Sider Bro’s for many years. In addition to numerous home improvement and remodeling projects, they also built our dream house on the lakeshore. We could not be happier with the experience or the result. Shawn Sider kept us closely informed about every aspect of the project. He worked closely with my sister’s design firm, Barbara Gisel Design and the final product was terrific. The quality and workmanship were as good as it gets.

Laura Mangan

We worked with Shawn Sider and everyone in the Sider Bros team on a major renovation of our 90-year-old cottage. All of the repairs and updates were completed meticulously to every inch of the house, inside and out. What sets Sider Bros apart, however, was their ability to ensure the changes were in keeping with the character and history of the house. At every stage, Sider Bros understood and championed this project with extraordinary craftsmanship, professionalism, and creativity – from concept and design, to implementation and completion. We spent a lot of time working together, and we would happily recommend Sider Bros. Four generations of our family have loved this house, and the Siders have guaranteed that we will continue to do so for many more.

Sider Bros. built our cottage for us on Lake Erie. After a year and a half of interviewing builders we settled on Shawn Sider and crew. The quality of their work is impeccable. We decided on a budget as well as a start date and end date and all were met. Our cottage is roughly 5000 square feet and as we live in Utah we knew we couldn’t be on the job site very often. In the 10 months it took Sider Bros. to build our cottage we only visited the job site twice. All of Shawn’s contractors were outstanding. Shawn demands perfection and it shows in the quality of their work. Shawn is a problem solver who is always thinking one step ahead to avoid and mistakes. When we arrived to see our brand new cottage which was very labor intensive due to the millwork and finishes there wasn’t one thing that we would have changed. It was perfect and Sider Bros. made building our home easy and effortless. We are very, very happy with the quality of our home.

Shawn Sider patiently guided me through the process of building my home. He is committed to delivering exceptional quality and gives careful consideration to every aspect of the project. Shawn is meticulous and genuinely cares that the customer is satisfied with the outcome. The same attention to detail is evident in work completed by Sider Bros. employees on site and in their woodworking shop, which produced all my cabinetry and interior trim. Throughout the build, it became apparent Sider Bros. is so highly reputable as a custom home builder for good reason. I look forward to many years in the home with peace of mind knowing it was built with quality workmanship and materials. The combination of trustworthiness and quality craftsmanship is why I strongly recommend Sider Bros.

Prior to commencement of our project to tear down an existing cottage and replace it with a new build,we interviewed quite a number of construction contractors .My wife and I were not impressed and didn't like any of them,until we met Shawn Sider. We were very impressed with him and took an instant liking to him.It turned out that we were right. Although Sider Bros. are a bit more expensive than their competitors,they are worth every extra cent.The trades Shawn used are very skilled and did a great job.They all really cared about the results of their work .In fact ,they were so good,that pursuant to my unusual request, they installed plaques and signatures to honour their craftmanship and handywork (in subtle locations) .Also,post construction ,Shawn is always available to attend to any additions,modifications,additional improvements etc.We even gave him the keys to our cottage so that he can attend to any emergencies if we are not there. I cannot recommend him more highly.

When my wife and I thought about taking down our old house on Lake Erie in Ontario, that had been in my family for a century and building a new one, we were a bit nervous. We had never built a home; always redid existing ones. The first builder we asked to come and give us ideas was Sider Bros. They have a great reputation in the area of Ontario where we spend our summers. Sean Sider came over and gave us his opinion on rebuild versus redoing.He then took us to see some homes that he had built. After seeing the quality in these homes, we looked no further. From the planning and design process with Nicole to the very end was a great experience. Sean was very attentive to the details. They listened to all the things we wanted in our beach house and we couldn't have been happier with the results. Everyone on sight working was so nice and respectful and they went above and beyond with precise attention to detail. Amazing carpentry! We were so pleased. Also have to say the paint job was impeccable. Matt did a great job. So accommodating! Anytime you would call with a question they would get back to you the same day. They are like family! Great, great experience.
