DISCOVER THE NZH DIFFERENCE

Our Goal
NZH Contracting was founded with the goal of designing, building, and renovating quality homes built for future generations. We’ve since grown to include a Commercial and Tenant Improvement division, but we’ve never lost sight of the true intention behind our original goal: building quality, sustainable buildings; regardless of the intended use! We stand behind our product; and that’s why we offer such a great warranty.

How Do We Do It?
Plan, plan, plan! Wouldn’t it be nice to just sit back and enjoy the process while we do the heavy lifting? Metaphorically, and literally! Our team has over 50 years combined experience planning and managing projects in a wide variety of industries, with our entire management team holding advanced education specifically in project management. We’ve developed an air-tight project management process that allows us to seamlessly build anything you ask for in a timely and efficient manner.
Sustainable Building:
Sustainable building means so much more to us than just being environmentally responsible. We always do our best to find the happy medium between environmental/green sustainability, building longevity, and the creature comforts we’re used to. We strive to make sure that all of our projects provide lasting, legacy deliverables that our clients love. From siting and design, straight through construction and warranty, we ensure that no stone is left unturned; Your build will be perfect for you!

NZH PROJECTS
The basement typically known for its ghosts and goblins can be transformed into a home theatre for the family, or a games room with plenty of space for entertaining. Why build an addition when you already have all of that unused space in the basement? We suggest enlarging some windows to make the basement feel… well, less like a basement!
Whether you are looking to simply update the bathroom with some new tiles and paint, or break down walls and create a spa like retreat, NZH is here to help. Our Interior Design service allows you to see full layouts and elevations of the bathroom. This allows you to make requests before the work begins, and reduces the duration of the construction phase. NZH brings together the best in the industry to offer you significant savings in product, from tiles to vanities. Want to purchase all of your own product? No problem! NZH will work with you to meet your needs.
Studies have shown that we spend about 80% of our time at home in the kitchen. Whether we're cooking for the family, entertaining our friends, or working at the island, the kitchen is definitely the highest traffic area in the house. It’s no wonder most real estate experts say your kitchen should be worth about 10% of the value of your home! Because of our close ties with some of the largest suppliers in Ontario we get significant discounts compared to retail, which we pass along to you. This goes for everything from the tiles, to the cabinets, to the countertops; you pay what we pay. We make our money in the renovation: why should you pay for us to be the middle man for product?
Whether its pressure washing the weeds out of your interlock, or building a new outdoor kitchen, NZH can take your ideas and turn them into reality. We works closely with one of the largest landscape architecture firms in Ontario to develop detailed designs for your landscape projects. Your personalized design is then turned into a plan with no detail missed or stone left unturned. Some may say that a full design and project plan for a landscaping project is too much; but if you want to create a backyard oasis we highly suggest you take the time to sit down with some of our designers. You will quickly see how much goes into planning a beautiful backyard!
