Aesthetic Meets Functionality with de Blois Built
Founded in 2009, de Blois Built specializes in full-scope renovations and one-of-a-kind new builds. Originally based in Toronto, the company moved to Trent Hills in 2019 and began working with clients in Northumberland and Prince Edward Counties, and have recently expanded into the Kawarthas. Collaborating closely with clients, architects, and designers, they build beautiful, functional, truly custom homes. The team at de Blois Built is passionate about quality workmanship, exceptional service, and making meaningful connections with clients and trade partners.
From concept to completion, de Blois Built clients have the full support of a highly-skilled, creative, and committed in-house team. The de Blois Built project managers, site supervisors, in-house carpentry crews, and operations staff are there every step of the way making sure that project plans gel with client vision and budgets, that pricing is clear and transparent, and that every detail is just right. Service is at the core of everything this family-run business does and that service is underpinned by Mike & Roisin de Blois’ commitment to engaging with every potential project from a place of curiosity, creativity and connection.
Building or renovating a home or cottage with de Blois Built is about so much more than just the build. As a small company, they are committed to developing trust-based relationships with everyone they work with, starting with clients but also extending to architects, designers, suppliers and trades. They recognize the financial and emotional significance of their projects for their clients and strive to instill confidence at every level, so that the homeowners they work for feel secure and comfortable in the quality of the work going into their homes, as well as the timelines and budgets that they can expect. A beautiful, well-built, and unique home is always the end result, but the journey to getting there is also an important focus for the dBB team and they work hard to make sure that the experience is smooth, positive, and encouraging for everyone who puts their trust in them.
When asked about a recent project, Owner Mike de Blois said, “The whole process was quite smooth actually. The strong communication and connection we had was really the foundation. The outcome is reflective of the strength of the connections on this project…. Their ability to visualize things was great – they had a clear understanding of what they wanted and were able to communicate that to us.” Not all clients know exactly what they want, though, so the de Blois Built team is also ready to recommend trusted designers and artisanal tradespeople with strong communication skills who can help homeowners understand their options and make decisions that they will be happy with and proud of for many years to come.
Across the board, clients rave about the work that de Blois Built does, as well as the experience of working with them. In the words of one recent client, “Going through a renovation always has its stressful or overwhelming moments. You want to be in those moments with someone you trust is doing their best, and whose best assures a standard of excellence. This is Michael and his team. Throughout the building of our home, he and his team were wonderful to us as well as our neighbours. They took great care in the price quotations to ensure we scaled the project to something we can afford. They matched their quote during post-Covid times, when prices were fluctuating and the market was difficult to predict. They worked with quality materials and did a great job aesthetically as well as functionally in our home. I cannot recommend this team enough.”
