I recently had new hardwood floors installed and several doors repaired (which had been sticking), and I couldn't be more pleased with the results!
From the start, Doug and his team were professional, efficient, and knowledgeable. They helped me choose the right materials for the job, and the installation was seamless. His team arrived on time and worked diligently, completing the job faster than I expected while ensuring every detail was perfect. The floors look amazing — the craftsmanship is top-notch, and the final result completely transformed my space.
Additionally, they addressed my sticking doors with care. They identified the underlying issues quickly and fixed them with precision. Now, all the doors operate smoothly, which has been such a relief!
I truly appreciate the attention to detail and the quality of the work. I highly recommend Total Equity Construction to anyone looking for reliable, skilled professionals for home renovations. Their customer service was also outstanding, making the entire experience smooth and stress-free. Thanks Doug!

From a young age, construction was in my blood, even if I didn’t realize it at first. It all started when I bought my first fixer-upper. I had no idea that this would be the beginning of a lifelong passion.
In my late twenties, I took on the ambitious project of building my own four-plex investment property. Managing every aspect of the construction process from start to finish, I discovered a profound sense of fulfillment in creating something tangible and lasting. It was during this project that I knew construction was not just a hobby, but my true calling.
Before I fully immersed myself in the renovation industry, I worked as a support worker, helping place people with disabilities into employment. It was a rewarding job, but the onset of the pandemic made me reflect on my career and my future. The pandemic pushed me to follow my passion and create a business that operates on my principles: to renovate with a difference. So, I asked myself, “How can I continue to do this and help others in a different way?”
This question led me to make a life-changing decision. I left my career to pursue my passion for construction full-time. I am proud to say Total Equity Construction is owner-invested and owner-operated. I pick my projects carefully, ensuring I never take on more than I can handle, so my clients get the full attention they deserve. I work directly with clients throughout every stage of the renovation process.
Unlike the big contractors with heavy overheads, I focus on personalized service and quality, and I am just as invested in your home renovation as you are.
