Testimonials

We spent over two years planning, interviewing builders and stressing over a major renovation for our century farmhouse. There were two beautiful homes on our road with Southport signs and we decided to call. After meeting with Jon, we knew that he and his team at Southport would be the right builder to bring our dream renovation to reality. Jon’s wide range of building experience, attention to detail and reassuring demeanor gave us the confidence and comfort level to move forward with the reno. The impressive Southport team delivered every step of the way – quality workmanship, on time and on budget! The entire three month process from pulling permits to final inspections was a stress free, collaborative and pleasant experience. Not many people can say this about their renovation! We absolutely love the new renovated space and can’t say enough about the entire Southport team – we highly recommend Southport Builders!

From the moment we first decided to purchase until the day we took possession of our new home, Southport Builders were first class in every way. We had a vision of what we wanted our home to look like and they delivered above and beyond our expectations.

Their professionalism and accessibility made the entire process easy and informative. And, the online platform, Co-Construct, was a user friendly tool that helped us stay up-to-date on all of the progress and was a great communication tool.

Their excellence in craftsmanship and details resulted in a home that we will enjoy for many years to come.

We gave them a bear of a project but Jon and the team at Southport were fantastic to work with. Jon worked hard to help us maximize both our dreams and our budget. Steve and Andrew were focused on the details to make sure everything looked exactly like we imagined. And all the trades they brought in did meticulous work and exceeded our expectations.
We are so happy with the way everything turned out. Thanks, guys!

I have 58 years in the commercial/industrial building sector, and I know that deficiencies are a problem when it comes to getting them corrected by the builder and all the trades. I can say Southport came out with first class honors for looking after the deficiencies, minor adjustments, touch-ups etc, etc. This is more important to me than getting the project completed, he made the lasting impression a good one and a happy one.

As someone who had never navigated building a home from scratch, and flying solo on the project, Jon, and his team from Southport Builders Niagara were invaluable; as I navigated my way using Co-Construct to see my dream retirement home come to fruition . They answered my sometimes silly questions with good humour, took calls and emails to calm me if I was unsure about something and gave me their honest opinion if I asked. It truly was an enjoyable experience and the quality of both work ethic and craftsmanship are undeniable. I am more than pleased

My wife and I have been in our new home roughly 1 1/2 years. There is not a day that has passed that we have not commented on how very pleased we are to be owners of the dwelling built by Southport. The journey to our home from when we were first introduced to Southport Builders to present was and remains positive and supportive. The quality of craftsmanship is second to none. The staff have been and continue to be very professional and always courteous. Thank you Southport for working with us through the last year.

Now that we have lived in our new home built by you for over 4 months I want you to know how deeply thrilled we are with the results. We are delighted with how smoothly the whole construction phase of the home went and thrilled that every timeline along the way was met. Not only did you construct our dream home, you helped with the design all along the way. You gave us creative guidance to produce a home that reflects everything we wanted in our home with outstanding workmanship. You spent numerous hours with us designing the ‘ultimate kick ass’ kitchen and we LOVE IT. The fact is we appreciate the quality you delivered throughout the home right down to choosing the perfect lighting and placement of all the LED lights.

Since the completion of our home we have received numerous compliments of the outstanding workmanship both inside and out along with the attention to detail that you have put into our home. After spending months together with you on our home building project we feel you are more than a provider of a quality home, you are a friend who cares about building dreams and doing it the right way. You made the whole process a pleasure.

Thank you for your integrity.

We moved into our new home a month ago and couldn't be happier with our build. Jon and the Southport team saw our vision and worked with us to make our dream come true. We knew from the moment we met Jon that he had the patience, expertise and drive to complete our project on time and with extreme care. Jon shared our rustic style and joined in our enthusiasm for restoring old beams, reclaiming old windows, and creating brick and plank feature walls. All of Jon's contractors were "top notch". I would recommend the Southport team to anyone planning to build!

Your home is one of the biggest investments you will make in your lifetime. It’s where you spend the majority of your time. We loved our home, but it was just a little small for our lifestyle. So when we decided to stay in our house and put on an addition instead of moving, a good friend recommended Southport.
We couldn’t be happier with the results. Our home is exactly as we wanted it and the addition feels like it’s always been a part of the house. Jon and his team were amazing to work with, right from the start and throughout the entire process. We were always kept in the loop of what was going on, and with the convenient software system they use at Southport, we were always able to stay on top of the project and the process.
I would recommend Jon and the entire team at Southport to anyone who is looking to build or renovate. They were amazing to work with and we couldn’t be happier with our new and improved home!

While searching for contractors for our renovation/addition last year, Jon Wiens & Southport Builders came highly recommended by 3 separate friends. We were instantly impressed by his organization, laid back approach and confidence in delivering our dream. We spent 5 months working with Southport, and throughout the entire process, they consistently met deadlines, budgets, and most importantly, our expectations. Steve Janzen, our site manager for the project, was a pleasure to work with. He always had time to explain what was happening and ensure that we were satisfied every step of the way. This amazingly talented team will not disappoint!!
Thank you for what you do.

Setting out on a journey to design your forever home can be incredibly daunting. We are so grateful to have had the support and expertise of Southport Builders Niagara to guide us through this process with creativity, integrity, and excellence. We couldn't be happier with how it turned out.
Often during the construction process, things like timelines are easily overlooked, but Southport was constantly communicating with us about where things were at and kept the project on schedule. We moved in the day we requested in our initial meeting.
During a process that can be overwhelming and stressful, we are so glad we had Southport to take care of the details with the utmost professionalism and care. If we would build again, Southport would be our first call.

From the first meeting, when my son shot Jon in the back of the head with a Nerf bullet, to the final meeting when our addition was finished, Southport Builders has been a professional, timely and budget conscious building company. We couldn't be more pleased with the craftsmanship and flow of the new addition to our existing home. We added approximately 1600 square feet to our bungalow. It looks like a brand new home. All the little details were taken care of with ease and honesty.

Southport Builders took the fear out of renovating. They were so hands on, and we really appreciate the family business aspect. If we ever decide to renovate or build in the future, we would have no hesitation in choosing Southport again.

We called Jon and Southport Builders in to stabilize a second story deck and convert it into a 4 season sunroom and we can’t be more pleased with the results. Jon and his team put us at ease while they expertly supported the deck and installed new beams and posts and once that was done set to work to create what is now a fully finished, fully insulated 4 season, glassed in dining room.

Not knowing exactly what we’d find as we started Jon was very flexible to make decisions on the fly and his trades we’re an absolute pleasure to have on the job site (aka our home) and the end results are top notch. I would recommend Jon and Southport to anyone looking to do anything from a small renovation to a custom house.

We were excited to build our own home, but the whole process seemed so daunting at first. We were grateful to work with Southport because they ended up making this process so much easier than we anticipated. They were very organized, timely, and easy to work with. We were so happy with the end result. It was even better than we had imagined! We would recommend Southport to anyone who is planning to build.

From our dream to a reality; Jon and his team at Southport Builders worked to create us a space that is beautiful and inviting. When we bought our home years ago, our family consisted of us and our three small children. As our children grew, we knew that we either had to move from a space that we loved or add to our home. Jon walked with us every step of the way, from planning to completion. We were impressed by the level of care that we received throughout the whole construction process. Communication, organization and budgeting were always a priority of the whole team. We knew exactly what to expect from months in advance and in the day-to-day. Timelines were obviously of great importance to Southport. They started when they said they would and completed each step in a timely and efficient manner.
In the end, we have a beautiful forever home that is even beyond the dream we began with. We would highly recommend Southport Builders to anyone that is either building a new home, or like us, adding onto and renovating their current home.

Our custom home is exactly what we wanted thanks to Southport Builders Niagara. They are skilled trades, attentive to details, helpful with decisions / solutions and an overall pleasure to work with creating an awesome, comfortable place we now call home. Thanks!
