Company Background
About Norseman Construction & Development Ltd.
Norseman Construction & Development works from a unit at 1304 Woodbine Avenue in East York, and its work leans toward older Toronto houses. Its site describes more than 20 years of design-build work: engineer assessments, design drawings, heat loss calculations, zoning review and permit submissions, followed by construction. The service list covers custom homes, full-home renovations, additions, interior design and a line of backyard and garden suites.
The team page is unusually specific for a renovation firm. It names Kristofer Potts as CEO, Kevin Potts as president and Robert Hansen as chief operating officer, and lists project managers including Ezad, Dave and Mohammad, a creative director for interiors and designers. Reviewers refer to project managers Mo, Dave, Greg and Ezad by first name, to Bryan helping with scoping and to Ghalib guiding the main floor redesign.
Reviews describe jobs much like the ones on the company's site. One owner had the basement and second floor of a 1920s East York semi gutted, with new insulation throughout, moved interior walls and a new HVAC system. Another split a master bedroom into two children's rooms and added a glass door to the deck. Others describe a basement renovation in a house built in 1910 and daily updates that made a first renovation less stressful.
Norseman shows 4.8 from 97 Google reviews, read October 31, 2026. It states a two-year warranty that includes a one-year Tarion warranty and shows TCA and RenoMark endorsements. No licence or HCRA number appears on the pages we read, and the office is open weekdays only, 9 AM to 5 PM.
It suits owners of older houses planning a major renovation or addition who want engineering, design and permits under one roof. It suits less well small repairs or weekend contact. Before booking, ask for HCRA licence and Tarion enrolment details if you are building a new home, a written scope and quote, the warranty in writing, proof of insurance and a WSIB clearance certificate. Ontario has no provincial renovation licence, so those checks are yours to run.
