As a young man, I watched my father work hard in the construction industry. It was something I simply accepted as his passion. Little did I know, it was my passion, too.
one day, my twin brother approached me regarding a close friend of ours who was setting up a construction management company and wanted to get me involved. My brother and three of our closest friends seized every opportunity we had. We couldn’t be happier. I remember very specifically thinking I can do this forever. I had finally found my calling. Our success came rapidly. I rarely had the chance to work with my brother and friends anymore. The feeling of a family-run business was dwindling, and it was impacting my passion for building.
I wanted to focus on building things that meant something. So I asked myself, “What else was there left to do?” I left and started my own design-build renovation company, the way I wanted to do business. Just me, dealing with the client. Working together to build something meaningful.
I am proud to say elfarro design-build is owner-invested and owner-operated. I pick my projects carefully and never take on more than I can handle, so my clients get the attention they deserve. I work directly with clients throughout every stage of the renovation process.
I am just as invested in your home renovation as you are.
Love your home,

Homeowner-first approach
I’m a skilled renovator, but I’m also a husband, dad, and homeowner. I know how stressful renovations can be. I work side by side with clients so they never feel alone during the renovation process.
Honest prices
I make an effort to include all details and costs in project proposals. Some contractors propose low prices and hammer clients with change orders. I never want my clients to have unwelcome surprises.
Open communication
Homeowners have the right to know the status of their renovation. I use centralized cloud-based apps so clients can check updates daily, and communicate with me anytime.
We’re an accredited design-build renovator with roots in Ottawa.
Fully licensed and insured
We carry a minimum $2 million in liability insurance for all our projects. Our workers are background checked, registered with wsib, and fully licenced to work in Ontario.
Owner-operated, owner-invested
Our business is defined by our insistence on accountability. Proudly based in Ottawa, you’ll work directly with me and my team to help realize your renovation.
