About us

A contracting firm built on trust.

We build and design high-end homes across the GTA. One firm. One number to call. Same team from your first call to the last walkthrough.

The name

Why we are called Pistis.

Pistis was the Greek goddess of trust and keeping your word. The ancient Greeks did not build big temples for her. She just showed up in every promise and every handshake.

We picked her name because that is the whole job. You tell us what you want, a new kitchen, a finished basement, a wine cellar, a roof that finally works, and we promise to build it. Then we build it. No surprises.

We are not cheap. But we are the firm you can still reach six months later when something needs adjusting, and we actually pick up the phone.

What we stand for

Four things we mean.

These are not slogans. They are the rules we hold ourselves to on every project, no matter how small.

Trust

Simple rule: would you be happy if you knew everything we did? If not, we don't do it.

Reliability

We hit deadlines. We don't pad estimates. We call you back the same day.

Craft

We hire trades who care about the small stuff and pay them well so they keep caring.

Privacy

Your home stays private. We don't post it, brag about it, or use it as a case study unless you say so.

How we work

The approach, in four lines.

Boutique by intention. We are organised on purpose. The communication style and the paperwork style are the same on a $5,000 paint job as on a whole-home renovation.

One firm, one number

You call one number, you sign one contract, you get one invoice. We do not pass you between sub-trades. The person you speak with on the first call is the person responsible for the work to handover and beyond.

Written before built

Every project begins with measured drawings, a written scope, and an itemised estimate. You see the finished room on paper before any dollar is committed to building it.

Schedule on Fridays

On every active project, you receive a written brief at the end of the week. What was done, what is coming next, and any decisions that need your input. No more, no less.

Change orders in writing

If something behind the wall changes the scope, we stop and tell you in writing before any work proceeds. You never get a surprise invoice from us.
