I have just had the pleasure of having Tony and Irene from ITSA HOMES to design and renovate our home. They designed and installed wall units, wardrobes, updated our kitchen including our kitchen bench and turned all our lower pantry shelves into more usable drawers. We were so impressed with their professionalism and quality of work that we ended up getting our bathroom, toilet and laundry totally redesigned and outfitted, then set them to work on our outside, and had them construct decking around our newly installed swim spa and put a patio roof over it. No matter which trade people came to our house, they treated it with total respect, made sure everything was securely covered so nothing would get damaged, and made sure that everything was perfectly clean when they finished. Even moving furniture was no issue. Being 65+ things seem to weigh more than when we were younger but this wasn't an issue for ITSA HOMES. They were only too happy to assist us with relocating our furniture which was a great help. These days there are very few tradesmen who will move your furniture, they want it done before you arrive. I cannot recommend them highly enough. My home was as clean if not cleaner when they left than when they arrived, they removed all rubbish and nothing was too much trouble. If you need any renovations done, you can't put a foot wrong by engaging Tony & Irene from ITSA HOMES. Cathleen Collins |
Tony managed the renovation on our home in Oakleigh South. From before the job started till after the work was completed he worked with utmost professionalism, precision and speed. He helped us keep costs down, got the work done to schedule and had an incredible eye for detail. When we ran into problems (the legacy of some dodgy DIY work by a previous owner) Tony found ways to remedy the situation and restore our house’s structural integrity without fuss. He managed sub-contractors, sourced fittings and furnishings and was dependable and amiable throughout. Highly recommended! Joe Harlowe |
Tony renovated all of the exterior of our house. The work is high quality, Tony's team is friendly and efficient and he is a great problem solver. They worked incredibly hard and the job came in ahead of schedule. Would definitely recommend ITSA Homes. Anne Muir |
ITSA Homes completely rebuilt an old extension at the rear of our home. The quality of the build is excellent and the final finish cannot be faulted. Costs were slightly higher than expected. However we would highly recommend ITSA Homes as they know their stuff. Brendan Wayland |
No hesitation to recommend ITSA Homes. Annie L |
We made the right decision collaborating with ITSA Homes. Tony is professional, reliable, experience, helpful and honest. He took great care of the property during the renovation; laid floor coverings over our new timber floor and kitchen island stone bench whilst the remainder renovation is in progress. Tony explained issues and provided solutions/options. Keeps us updated with real time renovation photo via sms; ie after the installation of a new skylight. He understood our requirements and completed the project on time and on budget. Our home renovation with Tony was a breeze. If you want the job done right the first time, Tony is the man Max Ng |
As I had an “ex” in the building industry and experience myself as an extension consultant, I had a fair idea what I was looking for in a builder for my kitchen, laundry & family room renovation & extension. Right from the start, Tony struck me as professional, the real deal. He asked intelligent, well-informed questions that clarified design options and listened to what I said. Throughout the build, he was reliable, hard-working, maintained good communication, demonstrated good design sense, responsiveness, flexibility when necessary, and provided a team of excellent ancillary trades. I found him personable, honest and ethical. I was very pleased with the results and especially happy I paid a fair price for quality work delivered in a timely way. I have no hesitation in recommending him for similar building work. Rosemary from Balwyn |
It is with pleasure that I recommend Tony Squillace and ITSA Homes. We had endured months of frustration, having to move out of our home and numerous builders coming to quote only to be told it was a job they weren't prepared to take on. Last November, Tony was 1 of 4 new builders I asked to provide a quote and for work to be completed prior to Christmas 2013. By this time I was very cynical with low trust and confidence in all builders. Tony immediately stood out, he was prompt, professional, thorough, fairly priced and with a reassuring 'can do' attitude about the work required and the completion deadline. Tony was engaged, work completed to a good standard, the deadline was achieved and the site left clean and tidy. Through this experience, we had a restored faith in the building profession. Tony did exactly what he said he would do and when he said it would be done by. He and his team were a pleasure to work with and to have in our home. Jude & Roger Kendall from Ringwood East |
We engaged ITSA HOMES to do an internal renovation on our Californian Bungalow involving the removal of two walls between our kitchen, dining and lounge room. This opened up our home to create one large living area. Tony and his team came up with suggestions that we hadn't thought of that further enhanced the design. We found Tony honest, reliable and very easy to work with. The job started as planned and as we continued to live in the house while the work was being done, it was important to us that the site was left relatively tidy and very safe at the end of each day. Tony's contractors did a great job, in fact the two guys who place the extra stumps, after pulling up the floor boards and bring cement mix through the house, left the site cleaner than it was when they arrived. The job was finished in a timely manner and Tony returned following completion to ensure we were happy with the work completed. My wife and I have no hesitation in recommending ITSA HOMES to other customers. Brendan & Jan Wayland from Coburg |
I want to say a huge thank you to Tony for the way you handled our project. We needed to re-stump the house, renovate the kitchen, pantry, laundry room, toilet and build a sail over the patio. This was a big project for us but from the day we met Tony, we felt confident that he would do a great job. The way you made all the tradies work was great, with no downtime. The result is great and you made a very happy family! I commend the professionalism and dedication of you, Matt and all the tradies you had or recommended for the job. Thank you. Pascal Janvier from Bentleigh |
ITSA HOMES did a kitchen renovation for me. I round Irene's design perfect for what we needed and was at an affordable price. The tradesmen that were used, did a very high quality job and were extremely professional. The schedule that I was given was followed perfectly and any queries that I had were answered by Irene with a quick office with a quick call. I would highly recommend ITSA Homes for any home renovations. Adam Wilson |
ITSA HOMES did extensive works to two bedrooms, a laundry and a bathroom in my Edwardian house. I appreciated the flexibility and speed with which Tony and his team did the work in the midst of lockdown, without compromising quality. I had to make a few variations to my original design along the way, which Tony and Irene gave sensible and professional advice about, and which were done in a cost effective way that greatly enhanced the end result. And afterwards, everything was thoroughly cleaned, leaving me to simply move back in and enjoy the transformation of my home. Highly recommended. Andrew McClelland |
We recently had our ensuite renovated by ITSA HOMES. I could not be happier with the process or the result. Irene's design and product selection guidance helped solidify my ideas into a plan. Tony's professionalism, communication and attention to detail was second to none. The quality of workmanship by all the trades was excellent, resulting in beautiful finishes throughout. We are loving the look and functionality of our new ensuite. I highly recommend ITSA HOMES for anyone needing renovations big or small. Alison W |
