Amedeo Barbini assisted Janet and I with two major renovations of newly purchased homes in which he participated from initial design concepts right through to final finishing details. We particularly appreciated how he took the time at the outset to thoroughly understand our needs and ultimately reconfigured spaces and produced designs that we couldn't have thought of ourselves.

As we have looked at other friends' custom built homes and renovations, we are always struck by how much more thoughtful Amedeo's approach is. We find his finished product has a unique cleverness, elegance and appeal that is often lacking in the general market. His design truly anticipated our needs and the way we wanted to live in each of our homes.

We also appreciated the way Tristar produced understandable budgets and documented the inevitable changes that come as a project evolves. In addition to designs that were within our budget and appropriate for each home, we found that we could also rely on Amedeo for quality execution. He consistantly brought excellent tradespeople and craftsmen to work in our home - peopel who were courteous, highly skilled and worked as a team. This aspect of trustworthiness combined with high creativity and on-time, on-budget delivery keeps us relying on Amedeo's work.

The best comment we can make about Amedeo is that he treated our project as if he was building his own personal dream house. His attention to detail was amazing. The quality of workmanship and the team he assembled is "second to none". In a city where it is sometimes difficult to find reliable tradesmen, Amedeo has assembled a supporting cast of designers and builders who share his vision and understand what quality,design and service is all about. A project like this can often times be overwhelming. Amedeo was on top of all fcets of the project. Communication was always timely and pertinent. The buget and cost management process was fully transparent and easy to follow and understand. Decisions were timely and all alternatives were consdered. Never was the "easy way" taken versus the right thing to do. Now that the house is completed, Amedeo remains in touch to ensure we are and remain satisfied with the finished product. We would definitely recommend Amedeo to anyone wanting to build thier dream house.

We have worked with Amedeo Barbini on three renovation projects in Toronto and Dallas over the past 15 years. Amedeo's design sense was impeccable each time and every project was delivered on time and with great value for the money we spent. I recommend him without hesitation.

In late October 2003 we moved in to 91 Latimer Avenue. This classically styled home was built with quality and attention to detail that was superior to any other home costing twice as much. We can honestly say that friends and family will be calling Mr. Barbini when it its time to build their dream homes. I highly recommend Barbini Developments to anyone who is building their dream home. Mr. Barbini, we thank you for all the joy this home has given us. Keep up the amazing work.
