Cristo Consulting, led by Frank DeCristoforo, was the contractor for the three story addition we added to our 70 year old home. We were extremely pleased with the work that Frank and his team did with our project.
We engaged Frank early-on in the renovation process. He provided some very useful and money-saving suggestions in the planning process. When work commenced, it became even clearer that we had made the right choice in a contractor -- Frank is professional, thorough, honest and takes pride in his work – all welcomed traits in a contractor!
He was very hands-on and engaged in all aspects of the renovation, continuing to provide helpful suggestions and good value for any changes. Frank and his team delivered our renovation project on time and on budget - just as he promised. We have recommended his company to a number of our friends and will continue to do so in the future.
Regards, Doug and Joann
"We met with numerous builders and managers while preparing to build our home. As we had a very particular home design incorporating layers of new technologies and building materials, it was very important to partner with an expert. We found that partner in Frank, he was accommodating, flexible, infinitely available, and willing to explore new techniques and processes. He was knowledgeable, respectful, and engaged in our home construction from the preliminary drawings to well after we moved into our dream home."

"Frank was referred to us by a previous customer of his. Being new to the city and not knowing many people, Frank was a significant help during the construction of our new home. With many years in the industry, Frank has a number of trades ready to work on his projects and pricing was reasonable with each. We had a tight deadline to get into our home and Frank made it happen - I'm not aware of any builder/project manager who can have a 3500 sq ft home complete in 3 months, especially with snow delays!"
Thanks Frank and Colleen!
"It is nearly impossible to predict the number and size of the problems you will encounter when building a new home. Based on my experience what you can count on with Frank and the Cristo Group is fast and creative resolutions to all problems which often enhanced the end result. I have dealt with trades in other projects and it can be a frustrating ordeal. However, with Frank in my corner and going to bat for me every time, I felt that all my wishes were being addressed in a way that had my best interest in mind. Another reason why I liked dealing with the Cristo Group is the option for "1-stop shopping". With over 25 years experience you can rely on Frank and his team for advice and craftsmanship in all aspects of your building process no matter how big or small. 2 years later I am so pleased with the end result that I have recommended the Cristo Group to friends who are building new and those who are renovating."

"Building our house with Frank was a very satisfying experience. We have lived in our home for almost three years now and could not be more pleased with the quality of the home and the service Frank has provided personally during and after the construction. We obtained our building permit in August and were in our new home shortly after Christmas, which I am told is phenomenal. Frank brought in all the trades, who always showed up on time and in many cases did the work on short notice so we could get in to the house by year end. Since we moved in, Frank has dropped by to answer questions several times and to make sure that little details are looked after. If we were ever to build another home (unlikely because we love our new home) we would use Frank again without hesitation and would recommend Cristo Group to anyone interested in buidling a high quality home."
