Working with Issam on transforming an old house we purchased into our dream forever home was the absolute best decision we could have possibly made. He’s an incredible contractor with a meticulous eye for detail. Not only is the quality and craftsmanship of his work second to none, he is just as vigilant about the invisible parts of the home that can easily get overlooked. He treated our home as if it was his own and spared no effort in making sure it was impeccable. He was able to guide us on how to best make use of our budget and was a masterclass in efficiency, meeting every deadline. Working with an older house poses many challenges but Issam was able to handle every single hurdle we faced without hesitation and with complete confidence. We had everything from an invasion of raccoons to uneven floors and crooked ceilings and Issam tackled each one without missing a beat! We cannot say enough about Issam’s professionalism, integrity, and incredible patience whenever we had questions or needed guidance throughout the process. Even after completing the project, he made himself available for any follow up or questions we had. On top of all of that, he’s just a genuinely kind human being. We thought he was too good to be true when we started working with him, and he turned out to be even better! We HIGHLY recommend Home Pillars to anyone who is looking to build their own dream home.

We purchased a home made by Home Pillars in 2020 and could not be happier with the beauty and finishing of our home. We thoroughly enjoy every aspect of the stunning design and recommend Home Pillars to anyone looking to build their dream custom home. We have been in touch with Issam, the owner, various times with questions regarding stone used, trades used, etc and he has always been helpful and expedient in his responses. From beginning to end we’ve had a wonderful experience - highly recommend!

We built our first custom home in SouthWest Oakville with Home Pillars. It was a great experience from beginning to end. Issam and his team are genuine, professional, and truly care about making the home the best it can be. During a trying time in the midst of COVID, Issam was able to manage, deliver on construction times, supply and maintain our agreed upon budgets. Home Pillars trades have been with them for a while and were exceptional, demonstrated care, ensured the quality of work and always delivered even if they had to come back to ensure we were satisfied.
We have been in our home for months now and Home Pillars has continued to immediately respond to questions and follow-up with exceptional service.
We are so pleased with our completed home. I would highly recommend Issam and Home Pillars to anyone looking to build their dream home!

We just completed having our new home built by the team at Home Pillars. The team led by Issam did a fantastic job managing the build through very challenging times. The project had its twists and turns due to supply chain issues and the number of design we requested, but Issam managed them all and delivered the home on time. The quality of the construction surpassed our expectations, and all the trades were very professional and a pleasure to work with. Although we’ve only been in the home for a few months, Home Pillars has been very responsive to any of our questions and continue to deliver exceptional service. Thank you, Team Home Pillars, for your all your hard work and patience in building our new home.
