it’s a pleasure to meet you!

We’re Todd and Sandra , the husband-and-wife duo behind Hardrock Home. Our own renovation journey began in 2001 when we bought our first home, a Queen Anne century home in the small village of Mount Albert — where we still live and continue to rehabilitate her with care and respect for her history.

When we’re not working on client projects, in the summer you’ll find us paddleboarding on Georgian Bay, enjoying time outdoors with our 110-pound Rottweiler, or tackling projects around our Queen Anne home. We love the quiet of rural life, with the city never too far away — and we are grateful to call East Gwillimbury home.

our core values

At Hardrock Home, our values shape every interaction, every decision, and every detail. They’re not just ideals — they’re how we work, how we treat people, and what we hold ourselves to.

Integrity, Always
We believe in doing the right thing — even when no one’s looking. Honesty and accountability are at the heart of how we operate.

Clear, Respectful Communication
We keep you informed, speak openly, and explain things in plain language. No jargon. No confusion. Just conversations you can trust.

Dependability You Can Count On
We show up, follow through, and deliver what we say we will. Reliability isn’t a perk — it’s a baseline.

Collaboration with Grace
Design and renovation can be a lot — so we bring flexibility, a steady hand, and a sense of humour when it matters most. We handle the challenges, so you don’t have to.

Ease and Flow
Our process is thoughtful and well-paced. We plan carefully so you can move forward with confidence and clarity — no chaos, no guesswork.

Service with Heart
We approach every home like it’s our own, with genuine care and consideration. We’re here to bring ease and flow to your renovation.

Todd’s Craftsmanship & Construction Experience

Todd brings over two decades of hands-on experience in residential renovations, from structural framing to fine finish carpentry. His work spans new builds, historic home reconfigurations, custom millwork, and full-home transformations.

He handles most of the construction work himself — from full kitchen cabinetry installations, trim work and drywall to flooring — which means your project is completed with consistency, care, and craftsmanship from start to finish. For plumbing and electrical, we rely on our trusted licensed trades.

Sandra’s Design EXPERTISE

With an NKBA-accredited Kitchen & Bath Designer diploma and other industry certifications and over 22 years of experience, Sandra designs spaces that are as functional as they are beautiful. Her expertise running her own kitchen department working with eight cabinet lines — along with a history of top sales performance — means she understands how to tailor a layout and product selection to your real, everyday life. She’s passionate about creating kitchens that work hard and feel like home, right down to the last drawer and detail.

Working closely with Todd during installation, Sandra ensures cabinetry isn’t just great on paper — but her in depth understanding of installations based on her hands on collaberation with Todd brings a rare skill to design.

some questions & answers

  • Short answer: No. Once we start your renovation, we focus on it from start to finish — unless there are unexpected delays beyond our control.

  • We’re typically booked 2–6 months in advance, depending on the season and project scope. If you're hoping to get started soon, the best time to reach out is now, especially if you are interested in special order millwork (cabinetry).

  • That varies and depends on how quickly approvals are given or if more revsions are needed and availability to review.

  • Knowing the amount that you will invest in your project helps us tailor ideas that truly fit your goals, the product selections and your home. It also ensures we’re a good match before you invest in a consultation — making the process smoother and more enjoyable for everyone

  • Our consulations are by appointment only. We respond to emails within 48 business hours between Mon - Thurs. Each project is different, typical on site hours are Mon-Fri 8am - 4pm

  • While most of our work is focused on full-service renovations, we occasionally take on smaller projects that we would schedule in between larger projects. Your project would be assessed to confirm what would be included.
