Tania was very prompt to respond and answered all of my questions. She is very knowledgeable and definitely experienced. She made me comfortable, and I hope to work with her soon!Read More

I am doing research on marketing strategies and needs of designers. I gave Tania a call and she graciously shared with me valuable information. Thought it was a cold call, it was a very enjoyable conversation (she made me laugh a few times). Tania was friendly and very generous of her time.Read More

Tanya is a total professional. She is extremely detail-oriented and she also has a very strong vision for the big picture of a project and how all the pieces fit together. We really appreciated how she patiently walked us through the whole process of renovation, from plans and budgeting to working with suppliers and trades, even before starting any work, so that we could really understand the process while we were making big decisions. She's a great resource for A-Z renovation!Read More

TOC Design is one of the most knowledgeable, personable and organized designers that I work with. Every project is a pleasure!Read More

Tania is a wealth of information, dedication, superior design ability and construction facility to Enhance and inspire any renovation style. I highly recommend her.Read More

I am planning renovations and made a few requests. Tania was the first designer to contact me. She unfortunately did not do project in my area but took a good 15 min to walk me through the renovation process. She asked me lots of questions to understand my needs a counsel me appropriately. Ex: Réno-Assistance works, differences between designer, designer architect, architect What questions to ask, what to look for, what to avoid. Gave me general idea of costs and how things are on the market right now. I feel more confident now to have a discussion with potential partners who would take on my project. Amazing sense of humour and I can’t believe she took so much time to explain things to me. By the end of the conversation I felt like selling my house to buy an old one in her area just so I could have her work on my projects Thank you, it was much appreciated WDRead More

Tania was extremely knowledgeable, and she isn't afraid to tell you exactly how it is. No sugar coating. I appreciated this when we had questions, she answered them all in detail. In fact I feel like I am now qualified to open up my own design firm. Tania helped us stay on budget and we didn't feel pressured to spend more. I would highly recommend Tania and TOC Design to anyone looking for residential and we've referred her to my uncle.Read More

I called Tania for her opinion and creativity . She went over and beyond her scope of work. I am so happy with the final results. I would highly recommend toc design and construction inc.Read More

Merci Tania pour le travail entrepris, pour le respect du délai et du budget prévus. Tu as ét’ à l’écoute et cela est grandement apprécié.Read More

If you are looking for a professional, that can give you a turnkey service in design and construction, you have found it! I have worked with TOC design many times, on two different homes and 4 distinct projects. The reason I keep hiring this company is their professionalism, their trustworthiness, and their attention to detail. They take the time to listen to what you want; they respect the budget and are honest about what is possible within the budget. Tania is available for any questions every step of the way and her prices are fair. Her team is hard working, polite and knowledgeable. TOC design is solution oriented which is something refreshing when most services tell you: “we can’t”, most of the time. I would recommend this company without hesitation. Proof is that I keep hiring them because I want the projects done right. It is nice to hire a company and not worry about the outcome. From the construction to the beautiful designs, all in one place with no hassle. Thank you TOC! I would not have been able to do the upgrades and renovations without you!Read More

A pleasure to work with! So clear and concise when providing instructions, and will always go the extra mile to meet the needs of her customers.Read More

Tania is really kind, professional and an awesome listener! I would recommend her for your project anytime She will respond fast and even will surpass your expectationsRead More

Meeting with Tania from TOC design to plan for the construction of our basement was an insightful and extremely informative process. She was able to provide a design that met our needs with a lot of good suggestions with her beautiful sense of style. It is clear that Tania loves designing as she is so enthusiastic about her work. A lovely person to work with.Read More

Tania is great - full of energy and ideas to get your project going! In my case, I hired her for her input on existing drawings via teleconference/online meeting and the results were very appreciable. (I wish I was able to go with her from the start). Very detail oriented, gives realistic furniture ideas, dissects everything in an organized manner. Would love to work with her again!Read More

Tania is a true professional in her field! She takes her customer’s needs and expectations into account and provides expert advise and guidance. She listened and understood our home renovation needs and will turn them into a dream home! Thank you Tania!Read More

We consulted with Tania over our home renovation design. She is very straight forward. We came out of the meeting with a lot to think about. Tania, thank you for your time and input.Read More

We are planning to redo our house in the near future and just started looking into the whole process of getting it done. Yes, it all seemed to be very overwhelming until we spoke to Tania. She generously gave us her time and guided us through each and every step. Her knowledge and attention to details is just amazing! She made us feel very comfortable to ask any question and did not rush through the conversation. As Tania continued to share her knowledge and wisdom that she has gained through her experience over the years, we felt more and more confident about what we wanted to do and how to go about it. We are excited to begin the process of our home renovation as we know that Tania is there to help us out. Looking forward to working with her!Read More

Tania immediately impressed and inspired us. What my husband and I thought would be an initial 10 minute conversation to get some details, turned into an hour and a half telephone conversation. Tania generously offered her professional opinions and tips as to what would work well with our space for our remodel. Her years of experience, knowledge and organizational skills came through in a strong way. Although we’re not ready to proceed with the project just yet, it’s good to know she’s a phone call away.Read More

WOW! WOW! La fiabilité, l’excellence et le dévouement sont des valeurs chez Tania! Un service et un professionnalisme hors pair! Mon conjoint et moi-même avons été époustouflés par son travail! Nous lui avons donné le mandat de « designer » notre espace de bureau et le résultat est juste incroyable! Elle réalise nos rêves! Et elle le fait du premier coup! Non seulement elle travaille dans le souci du détail mais en plus, elle a une personnalité des plus attachantes! TOC desing & construction inc est une expérience à vivre! Vivez l’expérience! Merci beaucoup Tania! ☺️ Isabelle et StéphaneRead More

This lady saved my day and is a total game changer. I told her that she was like the brave dog owner who pulled his puppy out of an alligators mouth and saved the frightened best friend. I was once frightened and felt bullied like that while tapping my toes into the renovation swamp with many substandard practitioners. There are just too many incredible things about her and her firm that are rare in the market of interior design and home renovations that are worthy the attention of her potential clients, who is lucky enough to be the next one? I hope it's not too late to resume our discussion about my project after coming back from my long waited double jaw surgery, Tania! Save me please!Read More

After multiple kitchen projects with TOC design and construction Inc, we are always impressed by the quality and clarity of Tania's architectural plans. The level of details is unmatched. The customer service is outstanding. We are also very impressed with the construction work the TOC team delivers!Read More

We consulted with Tania over our future basement design. She is awesome! Very professional detailed service. Can't wait to work with her!Read More

TOC met with us at the end of 2020, and our project was completed on time and on budget in April of 2021. What started with a kitchen remodel and ended up doing the entire main floor in open concept. TOC took the time to understand our preferences and was able to deliver the kitchen of our dreams. The 7 week construction process was easy, her team was on time, polite, friendly, clean and did quality work. They were open to our requests mid project and were able to complete on time.Read More

Just chatted 20 mins with Tania for some ideas on our project and was impressed with her know how and savvy. A must keep in mind for next project ... Thanks for the helpful hints Tania .. Backyard project coming hopefully this fall ..Read More

Tania has done a wonderful job re-designing our kitchen, family room and powder room. She listened to our requirements, asked questions to understand our style and needs, made lots of interesting suggestions and then drew a very detailed project for all the spaces involved. The 3-D renderings were very helpful for us to visualize the final design. Tania is very professional, very well organized and her attention to detail and sense of structure is reflected in the plans and the estimates provided at the end. We are very happy with the design and we can't wait for the re-modelling to be completed.Read More

I called to inquire about her services, and while our timelines did not align (she had no availability for the month's I'd have needed her services) she was exceedingly helpful on the phone and happy to provide some much needed advice! Two thumbs up!Read More

After a twenty minute conversation I was blown away by how knowledgeable and confident Tania was in her field. She took the time to patiently go through my project and give me her straightforward opinion based on facts and her experience. If you are looking for a practical no nonsense designer that understands how to practically get a project done right, I highly recommend TOC.Read More

Nous avons demandé à Tania de nous aider à refaire notre cuisine complètement. Elle a vite compris nos besoins, nos contraintes budgétaires et notre style. Elle a créé des plans et des devis très détaillés non seulement pour la cuisine mais aussi pour le rez-de-chaussé en entier qui vont être extrêmement utiles quand nous ferons les travaux au début de 2021. Elle est très généreuse avec son temps et toujours là pour répondre aux questions et inquiétudes. Nous avons très hâte de faire de sa vision une réalité ! Merci TaniaRead More

We decided to work with Tania as our interior designer after we bought our first home. We wanted to design it right, the first time! Prior to meeting with Tania, she had us fill out a questionnaire about our needs, desires and style. This made our first meeting very productive and efficient. Throughout the entire process, Tania was very effective, collaborative and always made herself available especially when unexpected findings arose. Although “unexpected findings” are expected when undergoing major renovations, Tania always responded with surgical precision, a testament to her incredibly detailed plans and renderings. It was a pleasure to work with a true professional. Thank you, Tania! Teresa and ElliotRead More

I had to change parts of the exterior walls of my house due to damage, and could not decide which modern materials to choose from, and what colors and designs would fit esthetically with the pre-existing brick wall. My entrepreneur suggested TOC as a building designer. Within 24 hours, TOC contacted me and we set up a meeting. I'm very satisfied with the suggestions Tania gave me. She understood exactly what I wanted, made sure I got the best quality product for the price, and that colors would match with my brick wall. The project will finally be able to move forward, thanks to Tania and TOC design & construction !Read More

Tania is a true professional in the home design world. We met Tania to discuss some of the ideas and plans we had for our home Reno and she was an incredible source of knowledge and creativity. She was able to walk us through options and we left feeling confident that we are in very capable hands no matter what option we choose moving forward.Read More

We had a very satisfying experience with Tania. She is so professional and took all the needed time to understand our needs and propose ideas according to our style and budget. I truly believe we saved a lot, time-wise as well as financially. It was a clé-en-main experience exactly what we needed. We are so happy with our project and recommend highly Tania. So happy we found her :-)Read More

My husband and I were looking for an interior designer to do some work on a recent purchase. First, I spoke to Tania on the phone and I was immediately impressed by her knowledge, her professionalism and her joie de vivre!! She spent one hour on the phone with me, answering all my questions which was very generous of her! In my experience, talking with other professionals on the phone, they are always rushing to hang up but Tania was such a joy to speak to! We decided to go ahead and meet Tania for a one hour consultation at her office... which turned into three hours. Not once did she look at the time or rush us in any way. Once again, Tania answered all our questions, and offered great ideas and suggestions. Due to factors out of our control we were unable to proceed with renovations right away but once the timing is right we will definitely be using TOC design. Tania we are extremely grateful for the time you spent with us and we can’t wait to work with you in the future!Read More

We were looking to merge our two-story split condo and had no clue as to what this entailed, what the necessary steps were, etc. Tania walked us through the process, provided clear instructions, what to expect, approximate costs, etc. While we have not moved forward with our project yet, Tania's knowledge about not only design, but also construction was reassuring and made us feel comfortable throughout the discussions.Read More

Wonderful job, very knowledgeable. Will definitely continue using. Flexible to customers taste, and very practical. Was able to do in a few minutes what would take hours with others. Thanks again.Read More

I consulted with Tania regarding my kitchen makeover she listened to my needs and offered great solutions & ideas. She has great taste and knows her stuff! I am thoroughly satisfied with my consultation and will be using her in the future for more projects. I recommend using TOC for all your design needs A++Read More

It was a great pleasure working on the redesign of our main floor with Tania! She took all the time needed to get to know our styles and vision. The plans she provided at the end of the project could not be more complete as every last detail is thought of. She took time (lots of it!) to make sure the layout looked great but was also functional for our family. She met or exceeded all timelines we had discussed. Thank you Tania!Read More

I recently got the pleasure to work with Tania. Not only did she do great work but she also takes the time to teach you about design. Her extensive knowledge and experience make you even more excited to work on your project and more eager to see the final results. I would recommend her service to all my friends and even strangers in need!Read More

We worked with Tania on the redesign of our whole house. We were very impressed by the attention to detail that she brought to the project, not just in the design but in specing the entire project down to the last screw. Tania listened to what we wanted and worked with us to make it a coherent whole. We are delighted with the overall result.Read More

We found Tania through Houzz and were immediately impressed with her organisation, knowledge and portfolio. From TOC you are buying a turnkey design service of unusual depth: one that considers everything from full-scale renovation and remodelling to the small details of room decor. This is a significant upgrade from using a master contractor as Tania is not only managing trades and purchasing but ensuring that each is contributing real value to the quality and beauty of her designs. And those designs are fabulous! We could not be more pleased with the way Tania has absorbed our tastes and preferences, then produced a design which develops and elaborates those starting points into a beautiful and harmonious house. Because Tania has such deep construction knowledge and employs her primary contractors directly, she can marry changes to structure and layout in order to provide perfect eyelines, design that flows from room to room and amazing, stop-and-linger highlights. She does all of this with full budget transparency and real-time monitoring of costs and payments, which we found a real comfort when doing a large-scale redesign. I would recommend her unhesitatingly to anyone who wants a high-quality, high-detail house.Read More

It is always a pleasure to work with them. Very proffessional and available. Always talented ans "à l'avant-garde". I recommend TOC Desing without hesitation.Read More

SEARCH NO MORE!!! TOC Design is the team you want to maximize your space. When I first started my search on Houzz for a designer, I came across a designer that had a five start review. I made an appointment with her not once but twice. She cancelled on me last minute on both occasions. How discouraging! But then I found TOC Design also rated 5 stars. Tania is the professional you want for any project. She is extremely organized, competent and meticulous. More importantly I was looking for somebody who understood what our needs were. Since we're a young family of 6, I needed to make the most out of my space and Tania did just that! She even had me fill out a questionnaire about our family, lifestyle, my own interests and dislikes and what was most important for our space. Within a few weeks I received professional plans and demolition started right on schedule. We upgraded our main floor (kitchen, den, wood floors, tiles, dinning room, living room, family room) and Tania was constantly in contact with her team and myself. It was simply smooth renovations for eight weeks. A HUGE thank you to TOC Design, Soll Solution and Ivco construction.Read More

Tania worked for my company and delivered exquisite design and tight budget guidelines, brilliantly! Her inspiration comes from light and space and she brings forth creativity and colour in the most imaginative way!Read More

After reading the reviews on houzz.com, I called Tania for the design of the kitchen and bathroom in my daughter's apartment. We had a vague idea what we wanted but in a world with so many options we were lost. From the moment she took on the project everything moved very fast but in the same time with high precision and deep consideration for comfort, esthetics, lifestyle, efficient space use and cost. Part of the design she delivered the 3D renderings, floor plans, detailed list of furnitures and appliances, lighting design, cost estimation (within our budget!)...everything we needed and more. No stone unturned as she considered every detail and things we never thought of. Everything is in place now for the renovation project to start and we're looking forward to seeing the new kitchen and bathroom. It's been such a pleasure to work with you Tania! Thanks for everything!Read More

Yesterday I met Tania. After weekends spent debating and doing nothing...today we are on our way to thinking differently about our space. We paid Tania her going rate for a consultation (reasonable and well worth it). She came over as promised and got right to it. She is energetic, opinionated (in a good way!), and in the space of two hours she gave us good honest advice, backed up with the confidence of her experience and creativity. She didn't try to sell us anything or talk us into something that is not right for us. This is a true sign of a professional. If you are not sure where to start - hiring Tania and her fresh outlook on your space is well worth it. We still have a lot of things to work through before we take the "project plunge" but I am really pleased we took this first step. Thank you Tania - you got us unstuck! Now for the next steps - declutter, "purge", and repaint - which costs next to nothing!Read More

I’ve just got off the phone with Tania. I asked her for advice for a home project. She took the time to explain all the stages the project would take. She was generous both in her time and advice. She’s my first choice for any project. Thanks Tania.Read More

I thought I could sketch the new layout for our renovation but I am so glad that I did not because Tanya and her team did it a billion times better than I could envision it. We were stunned during the staging, to see on paper is one thing but to have it done is impressive. Tanya is so meticulous and conscientious about details, we are so happy that she did all of that for us. I am particularly impressed by her experience, example, adding a sheet of drywall to increase the width of the wall so that the length of the dresser will not stick out, WOW! Or turning the dining table by 90 degree which provides a total new perspective and allows more space to the dining area, incredible! No doubt about it, she is the best.Read More

I use to have a room that looked like it was design in the Jurassic era. However, Tania did a wonderful job with the redesign. When I enter my room, it makes me feel like royalty.Read More

We had a consultation with Tania for our new home project. She really knows what she is doing, very organized and helpful with a bunch of ideas. We showed our early 2D sketches/ideas, she already understood our needs and she even made some adjustments on the spot! Her experience and knowledge of material make it easy to really understand what’s best. The best part : she is budget oriented, perfect for us on our tight budget for our dream house.Read More

Had the pleasure to meet & work with Tania early this year (2017) and can recommend her for her professionalism, dedication and enthusiasm to her work. Hope we get to work together again in the near future.Read More

We used Tania's services for several projects around our house. I loved all her ideas for our home and would use her again come time to renovate another space. Tania is really dedicated and pleasant to work with. I highly recommend her!Read More

There are not enough stars to rate Tania at TOC! I scoured the Houzz platform for architects/interior designers and we have absolutely no regrets going with TOC design. Tania is extremely generous with her time, knowledge, and creativity. She supplied my husband and I with more than what was expected regarding the redesign of our 2nd and 3rd floors. She gave us different layouts, suggested color palates, and furniture and put together a totally fresh, updated, look that we would never have been able to envision by ourselves. Tania is a great communicator, listens and asks questions as to what we want, and sticks to the budget we gave her. We have PEACE OF MIND that we hired the right person to redesign our 2 floors! Can't wait for our renovations to start!Read More

Man did we ever work hard on that kitchen reno! The home owners were great to work with and for. BrianRead More

Tania went above and beyond our expectation by trying to solve a problem that was not her doing. Not many in this industry would have done what she did. Thanks Tania!Read More

very professional, approachable,listens to client needs and is respectful of budget...knew where we were going ... no surprises... we are extremely happy.!Read More

I had Tania design my house. I had just finished a huge renovation and had trashed all my furniture. She did it all from bringing us options all the way to installing furniture. She started from picking cutlery all the way to installing made to measure bedroom set. My boyfriend and I are terrible with colors so she help with picking color and coordinating art work. She made sure everything was to our liking at all times. She kept in mind that we are huge animal lovers and even made special spaces reserved for our pets within her design. A few years later, we hired her to do all of our landscaping once again with special options, in this case, no grass because of our dogs. It has been 7 years since the landscaping job and everything still looks beautiful. She was always available for questions, took care of all the workers, she met all deadlines and the quality of the work was to our satisfaction. I would hire her again without giving it a second thought.Read More

My wife and I are truly thrilled with Tania and Toc Design. She is incredibly organized and patient. We couldn't be happier with our design package. We look forward to starting construction in Feb 2017. We have decided to go with Tania and her construction team as well and have nothing but faith in their ability. 10/10 without a question. Tough to find amazing service these days especially in this field. What should have been stressful has been quite the opposite! Thanks again Tania! A1Read More

What a pleasure to work with someone who is organized, professional and up most common sense. Your dedication as well as your passion reflect on all aspects of your work and we are looking forward to our next project :)Read More

TOC design and Tania are true professionals! Tania made this process so amazingly easy and fun that it was a real pleasure working with her. Our home will be our dream home thanks to Tania! Highly recommend using TOC design!!!!Read More

We absolutely loved working with Tania! She is a breath of fresh air in this twisted world of renovations. Very relaxed approach yet always on top of everything. Not creating any stress for anyone involved, client or trades, not playing the superhero in trying to manipulate the situations in her favor, she is honest, helpful, open to any input and very flexible in design and execution ideas, always trying to make it functional and practical for everyone involved. Hats off to you wonderful lady for keeping it all under control and always having a nice word or smile for everyone! It was a pleasure working with you and looking forward to our next ventures. XOXO Ioana Soll.Solutions Inc. MontrealRead More

We met Tania through Houzz.com platform and were impressed with all the design work she had achieved as well as all the positive reviews listed on the Site. Indeed she is good as advertised!!! Overall, we are very content with what Tania has done for our design work for the renovation of our kitchen project. Her work is on schedule, very clear, and easy to execute. I would definitely recommend her to my friends.. Helene and MarcoRead More

Deuxième fois que je travaille avec TOC design. Expérience professionnelle. À l'écoute des besoins. Accès sur la fonctionnalité de l'espace adapté à votre situation personnelle. Il n'y a jamais de perte d'espace, beaucoup d'options de rangement. Je recommande à tous!Read More

Tania was great to work with: 100% serious/professional/honest, in particular during our important conference calls. Her design, given our situation (upscale rental vs our own home and returning a large single condo back to its original 2 units) seems both elegant and cost effective. After meeting Tania, I think I expected nothing less, and she didn't disappoint. In addition to the look/expected cost, the design is more complete than anyone can humanly expect/imagine. I met with Tania at her home/office and hired her on the spot and everything promised/deadlines were spot on. I never knew that designs could be so detailed (and I doubt they are with most designers.) I spoke to the contractor earlier today and he's in love with what was handed to him: specs to the nth degree, color coded and pages detailing everything. Nothing was left to his imagination which makes it much easier for him to simply do the work. In addition to the design, complete with renderings so we could see what everything should look like, and the specs, Tania will now take on another role during the construction phase. My wife and I are out of town and we have also hired Tania to purchase all materials (all prices have been given/discussed) help us with anything we need to do from our end (appliances, for example) and act as the "go to" person if there are any unforeseen issues during the construction. I suspect there will be another glowing review when everything is done (around the end of October.) I know this will sound like a fake or a friend writing a review, but it is not. I first met Tania this year and was considering a combination of Home Depot for the kitchen, their designer/contractor for the installation and the rest of the remodel, but threw that option out the window after our meeting. Because of her breath of knowledge about design AND construction, I have to believe she is more valuable than most designers. Finally, note that the approximate project cost given is over $100,000. That is for the entire remodel. Tania's design fee is about 5 or 6% of the job. I suspect she will end up saving us far more than her fee and that the result will look better than anything we would have done on our own. Better and less costly (time and money) is an unbeatable combination! So to say we got lucky meeting/hiring Tania is an understatement. Don't let her great smile or laugh fool you: she is an expert at what she does!Read More

We are very satisfied with the construction of our new bathroom. Dry rot was removed and replaced by double layer of thick plywood. Walls were strengthened to hold new cabinetry and medicine cabinet. Bathroom is functional. Good attention to detail . Looks fantastic.Read More

From the moment we first spoke with Tania, we knew that she was exactly the designer we needed for our kitchen. I found her on Houzz and was attracted to the style of projects I saw, and I initially wanted to consult with her on our colour selections for purchasing an IKEA kitchen, but it did not take long to realize that we would have a much better result if we worked with a professional! Tania is thorough, detail-oriented, punctual and may even be a mind-reader when it comes to delivering exactly what you need! The design process went very quickly, and from an initial consultation at our house, Tania was able to gauge our style and taste & understand our budget. She quickly (6 days) came up with 4 different preliminary options, and we were so impressed. After a one hour phone call, she then came up with option 5. We reviewed and discussed again, and then met at her office for a 3D rendering presentation, and chose colours, tiles, countertop options and explored furniture possibilities. One more in-person meeting a week and a half later, and we were looking at comprehensive and detailed construction plans. The quotes for the job had already been obtained and everything was priced out. It's been a wonderful experience so far, and when the kitchen gets completed (mid-July to mid-August), I will certainly be back with pictures and to review the construction side of the project! TOC Design is top notch!Read More

It is my sincere pleasure to write this letter of support for Tania and TOCDesign. My wife and I have now worked with Tania for nearly two years, and Tania has completed a full re-development of a walk-out basement floor, and she has just recently completed our kitchen. My wife and I moved to Montreal a few years ago. Unashamed homebodies, we purchased a fixer-upper with the hopes of building a space that we could enjoy as a family. As we got to know people, we were shocked to hear of the manifold problems our neighbours and new friends had suffered trying to finish home-reno projects here. Our decision to get a fixer-upper didn’t seem clever in this light. We took our time, looked at several designers, and chose Tania based on her clean and innovative yet somehow classical designs. Tania took an unfinished basement and turned it into a bedroom, family room, bathroom, second kitchen, and abundant storage space. This floor feels bigger after Tania divided it than when it was completely open. We are proud to have visitors come stay with us knowing they have a wonderful place to stay, and while the room is on a basement level, the room does not feel like it is in a basement. In case I forget to mention it again, Tania is extremely good with lighting (something I don’t think I thought about before these projects, but appreciate now on a daily basis). Like all homeowners, my wife and I (I think it would be reasonable to say particularly my wife) have our own aesthetic tastes, and Tania did an excellent job of getting a sense of what we were looking for. There were two instances where we differed, and in both cases Tania ended up persuading us to move a little outside of our comfort zone. In both cases I am sincerely glad we deferred (she’s the designer! this is what she does!). The project was completed on schedule and on-budget. A entire floor re-done we couldn’t wait for Tania to transform our kitchen. We have three small children and lots of family in the city and we love to cook. The project was completed in 5 weeks, on schedule, and on-budget. Tania has given us a kitchen in which it is a joy to cook. I have cooked more since the kitchen was finished (6 weeks ago), than in the two preceding years. Now here’s the real testament to Tania’s work - while the kitchen was being done my wife and I still needed a place to cook and eat. No need for six weeks of take-out - we just used the second kitchen Tania had built into the basement. Now we used this kitchen for five weeks straight during a Montreal winter - not a single problem. The second kitchen isn’t big, but it’s extremely well designed (all Tania), and because of that it is actually functional. I e-mailed Tania on a cozy Sunday morning after making breakfast for the team to let her know what an amazing job she had done in the design of the basement. I could go on just as long about the kitchen. I think Tania will be putting up pictures on this site, and I believe they will do the room better justice than my rambling. Pay attention to the lighting! Working with Tania is the dream that home renovation should be. You will be glad you chose to work with her. Please feel free to ask Tania to refer you to me, and I would be happy to answer specific questions.Read More

We decided to hire Tania based on a referral from a friend who was very happy with her work. From the first meeting with Tania, we were very impressed with what she was able to offer us. Working with her on the design for our full-home renovation was easy, stress-free and enjoyable. Tania was able to provide us with several design plans based on our wishlist for our home and she was extremely helpful and knowledgeable in helping us choose the one that was most suitable to our vision, lifestyle and budget. We loved seeing the high quality renderings of what our home would look like based on her designs and were super impressed with how accurate they were. Every step of the way Tania made the process simple for us - helping us choose finishes and materials and guiding our choices, all while respecting our style and vision. We could not be happier with our decision to hire Tania and have been thrilled with the results of her hard work and dedication to the design of our home. We would hire her again without question!Read More

Tania was very approachable, knowledgeable and above all professional. She gave us an excellent presentation with a 3D rendering so all was easily understood! She was able to show us the complete job with all the information right down to the exact materials that will be used. A bonus was that her services were so affordable, I would definitely recommend her services to all!Read More

Having moved into a house straight out of the 80's, we wanted to modernize it while maintaining its charm. We decided to work with TOC design and were very happy with the work. Tania is professional, well prepared and works with what you have to ensure you get the most from your investment. Furthermore she takes her time, is very detail oriented, passionate and is good at what she does.Read More

Her team renovated a dated and cramped 1980s kitchen and separate dining room opening up the space and transforming a poky ground floor into a light, bright and highly functional kitchen, sun-room and dining room with a real wow factor. Tania has assembled a team of professionals including specialists (mill-workers, quartz counter cutters and installers and blind suppliers) all of the highest quality. The team were extremely professional, with a real pride in the work they do, overcoming all the problems of old houses (plaster walls that are neither flat not straight, structural problems, wiring and plumbing eccentricities) and ensuring everything was to code (and far above). They completed the work on time and even slightly under budget. Every item was invoiced and recorded down to the last light bulb, switch, and door nob as well as every hour worked by each employee and when. We are extremely happy with the finished product. We did not have to live here through the upheaval, but were kept completely informed by skype all the way through, and our adjoining neighbor was really happy that they did not have to endure noise at all hours or indeed barely ever, and there was no mess. You could not be in better hands with TOC. Tania is an exceptional designer and project manager, extremely attentive to the client's interests and concerns (such as cost, needs and preferences), demanding of her workers, but respected by them. Her team are wonderful professionals, who do work of exceptional quality. The finish and attention to detail is particularly striking (glazing on the plaster walls, magnificent paint work, the edging on the mill-work and the counter-top), but the thing that impressed me most is that each and everyone of them takes the utmost pride and joy in what they do.Read More

I had been given Tania's name as a reference, from a good friend of mine, to assist me in renovating a condo I just purchased. My first meeting with her went far beyond my original expectations. She not only provided me with excellent renovation advice, but had gone so far as to provide me with contact names for paint, furniture, mouldings, flooring, window coverings, etc... while at the same time being respectful of my budget. She has an excellent ability to determine what style a person will like and then build a plan around that style. I found her to be refreshingly honest and very easy to work with and was impressed with the time and effort she put into helping me out. I am someone who rarely gives out reviews, therefore, the above comments are a confirmation as to just how good she really is. I would not hesitate to hire her again and will actually do so for the "second phase" of my reno. Thanks for all your help Tania!Read More

In spring of 2015 I set out to revamp the front of my home. I needed guidance in terms of design, materials available options, etc. so I searched houzz.com for a designer. TOC design immediately caught my attention with its highly positive reviews. In fact, now that I've had the pleasure to work with TOC design it goes without saying that the great reviews on this site are a mere reflection of the great work and professionalism offered by TOC design. I would recommend to anybody. Thank you Tania!Read More

Tania came over for a consultation today and went completely above and beyond what I was expecting. Not only did she provide advice on what we should do to upgrade our house, she also provided contacts for painters, window coverings and lighting. She was candid with her advice. She clearly understood our needs as a family and was completely open to working with the furniture and decorations we currently have. We look forward to working with her to turn this house into OUR HOME!Read More

I found Tania through Houzz and hired her because her projects matched my style. After working with her, I really realized that she's a very versatile designer who knows how to very smoothly adapt to her clients' tastes and preferences. She was very patient, hard working, and reliable. Her final product was of the highest quality and she did not settle until I was fully satisfied. What made me even more satisfied is that she's very budget-conscious. She brought me back down to earth and offered me very budget-friendly alternatives and recommended me spending on other more important items. In conclusion, I highly recommend Tania and would not hesitate in working with her again in the future.Read More

I have retained Tania @ TOC for a very large project, which involved some constructions, some furniture shopping, decoration, staging and much more. I needed someone to own the project, to create and execute a vision to turn a condo I purchased into "my home". Tania delivered all that and then some more. Tania managed to get inside my brain and "feel me" - what I needed, what I wanted and, most importantly, what I could afford. She listened to my needs/wants and delivered a clearly articulated vision of the place. Her pre-construction presentation and organization skills were superb. her clear (and realistic) budget really won me over. Tania executed the project perfectly - on time, on budget and way (way way way) above expectations (the project was executed with a true WOW! effect). She truly delivered a turn key solution - from selection of materials, supervision of contractors, negotiating great deals on purchases, purchasing and orchestrating the deliveries - she took the pain out of the process. She thought of every little details - as is she was taking care of her own home. He professional and construction teams are top notched - everyone she brought on the job did a superb job. Most importantly - Tania has an amazing personality, she loves what she does and that shines through her work. She is fun to work with and truly "owns" the project. From the first conversation on the phone, even before I formally hired her - she was already "in the project", giving me great ideas and advise. Very quickly she developed a solid rapport and working on the project was a true pleasure. She really went above and beyond "the call of duty". I would not hesitate to hire her again - and as a matter of fact, I have retained her for some additional work. Tania is definitely more than a designer - she and her team have great skills to deliver the project - small or big. Thank you Tania for making my home truly mine! I still say "WOW" every time I walk in home - exactly what I was looking for. The feeling of being home is priceless! Thank you!Read More

Tania did a great job on our house. This was a big job and everything came together ever better than we had hoped. Furthermore, the work was on-time and under-budget! We couldn't have asked for more. This wasn't by chance of course. The fact that her crew only works on one job at a time is a huge benefit. In addition, Tania is incredibly thorough and well-organised. This meant the project ran smoothly from the very beginning. She also has a great eye for detail and for bargains! Of course, there were complications that arose but she and her construction crew were always able to deal with them quickly and well. The crew did an excellent job, and went beyond what could be expected. They were always professional and punctual. One of our neighbours commented that they were tidy and quiet. The whole project was remarkably stress-free and not time-consuming. Being a working family with young kids, this was really important to us. We now understand the term "turn key ready." We are happy to recommend her and her team strongly.Read More

J'ai eu la chance de connaitre Tanya par l'entremise d'une copine qui a rénové sa maison de A-Z. J'ai donc utilisé sa création et ses bonnes idées pour refaire ma cuisine et mon sous sol. Tanya est une créatrice née, plein de talents et a l'écoute de notre budget!!!! Je vous la recommande sans hésiterRead More

We hired Tania to do a full house design and remodel. We had no idea where to start. We knew the house we bought had great potential but didnt know how to realise it. She managed to create a design that perfectly embodied what we wanted but didn't know how to do ourselves. You know you hired the right designer when people's jaws drop when they come over! Easy to work with,amazing vision, would hire her again without hesitation.Read More

Have seen several projects that Tania designed over the years.and have asked her to review my condo for the decoration and to complete the furniture and color. I was more than satisfied, thank you Tania for your professionalism.Read More

It was a pleasure to have found such a professional, organized and helpful individual. You exceeded my expectations and I would definitely recommend you to anybody for all future projects. You are a great listener and managed to figure out exactly my likes and dislikes. Your ideas have made what felt like an overwhelming task seem manageable. Thank you Tania.Read More

We recently moved into a 4 year old house in the West Island part of Montreal. The house is beautiful yet needed a new interior design to reflect our personalities. Tania came to us highly recommended by our daughter who couldn't say enough about her. Few minutes into our initial conversation, Tania was able to capture our needs and priorities. Warm and genuine, I knew immediately that it would be a pleasure to work with her. The pleasure actually turned out to be a privilege. Tania has a wealth of experience and knowledge in the industry. She quickly captures your tastes and moods. She is mindful about budget and excels in finding creative design solutions. We felt that hiring a professional interior designer would the best way to ensure we get value for our investment. Tania proved us right! Working with her also provided peace of mind knowing that our project would meet our needs and specifications and be functional aesthetically pleasing. Finishing our basement will be our next project and quite an important one too. Knowing that Tania will lead the project, can't wait to begin! Thank you for your valuable contribution in making our residence "a home". Best regardsRead More

My wife and I purchased a 90-year old 'fixer-upper' in Westmount QC. We began our search for a designer immediately. After our consultation with Tania we knew she was the right fit for us. Right away she had a vision for our basement and kitchen. She is extremely detail-oriented and oversaw our project from conception to finish. We love not only her aesthetic choices but her practicality and awareness of budget/need. Her gift for using space to its highest advantage is remarkable. We are incredibly happy with our completed basement and look forward to working with Tania on our kitchen.Read More

Working with Tania is like working with the perfect symbiosis of an artist and a businesswoman. The vivacious and passionate spirit with which she takes on a project are matched equally by her resourceful and detailed implementation. Her professional skills, not limited to her innate creativity, and presentation excellence, include a high level of adaptability to the specific criteria, budget and schedule of the individual project. Tania just doesn't design, she figures out how to put something together, to make it work, and then, depending on the project, she will pick the team, and "quarterback" the construction - right down to the last detail! As a representative of a designer showroom, a specialist in the world of carpet, and, an interior designer, I have worked with Tania on projects ranging from a chic little bedroom makeover, to entire hospitality installations - and always, it has been a total pleasure, as well as an opportunity to watch a real "pro". Her warm and infectious personality, and endearing sense of humor are always at hand, even when moments of stress may occur - which as we all know, they will! The rest of the TOC story, I will let you discover for yourself, but believe me, it's all good!Read More

We did 5 projects with Tania and with each we have been impressed by her knowledge and understanding of our needs. As French and Italian, well established in Canada, Tania created for us the perfect environment for our family compound . One of her best qualities is her ability to listen and to follow the pre-established budget criteria . She instantly viewed and understood our demands. Tania is a hard worker and she ensured that the job was completed on time all the way to the smallest details.Read More

We have been working with Tania for about a year now. We recently built a new home and Tania was a huge help choosing materials, colors,lighting and furniture . This project was challenging for us but Tania was there to provide clarity and direction. She did a great job incorporating both our styles and gave us great ideas we could use in our new home! Definitely would recommend Toc Design and we will be using Tania again for our future projects!Read More

I have had the opportunity of seeing Tania's work first hand. She has great attention to detail, brings a sense of harmony to the spaces that she creates and brings ideas that one would not have thought themselves. My wife and I are looking at remodelling our bathroom and will be looking to Tania for her professional work.Read More

Having dealt with TOC design throughout several of our home Reno projects, I can tell you that Tania’s stark sense of integrity, honesty and desire to work according to her client’s vision has proven to be the foundation of her design success. Unafraid of providing her honest feedback and always Challenging the status-quo, Tania approaches every design project with tact and determination. She has re-defined, re-purposed and transformed many of our living spaces into warmer, more inviting and more importantly meaningful areas all while respecting our “tight” budget and timeline. Tania seems to have a natural knack for methodically accompanying you towards your design goal in a pleasant, efficient manner. Her creativity has left us smiling and continues to dazzle our friends and family members.Read More

I recently contacted Tania for some additional details about installation of IKEA PAX door into the wall opening as shown on photo. Even though my question was way beyond Houzz question-and-answers queue, Tania was ready to go few extra steps to provide me with more detail explanation. As a designer she has to put her mind and soul into every new project and every new challenge, and her willingness to share some valuable info is greatly appreciated. I can only imagine how thorough she is when working on the project using full set of her skills. All kudos to you Tania and thanks again.Read More

Tania is a creative designer bursting with ideas. She transformed my house interior to just they way I wanted it. She was able to give my husband detailed drawings of the required woodworking so it was a simple task for him to turn the vision into reality. She also did what she said she was going to do, on time and on budget. When I walk down the hallway every morning, I get a bit smile on my face as I marvel at how much I love my house. Way to go Tania!Read More

We bought a 100 year old house that needed a lot of love. After many years of renovating and designing ourselves, we met Tania. She changed our lives in more ways that she would admit to. Tania did many projects for us over the years. Basically, in pieces, she has touched, with her magic, every room of our house, including the massive project that was to completely rebuild our kitchen (and 2 bathrooms). With every project Tania brought her creativity, ingenuity, project management skills and her incredible ability to make chicken salad with chicken shit (pardon my French). But her greatest skill is her humanity. Renovations can be highly stressful (oh, don't we know it) and Tania was not only a great partner but a great counsellor and a comforting shoulder to freak out on. If you are looking to build or renovate, in our view, there is only one person to go to.Read More

We have had the pleasure to work with Tania at TOC Design in 2012. She has an incredible vision and is able to capture your needs - style right away. Tania initially came to our condo in 2012 for a specific ''task'', she ended up spending the entire day with us going over and beyond what we had initially asked her for. She is extremely creative, has an eye to make everything look wonderful. Tania demonstrates a high professional work ethic and has a great personality, a true talent in this industry. We will be moving into a house (from our condo) over the next 1-2 years and can't wait to have Tania help us with all of the interior decorating. We highly recommend her services!!!!Read More

From our first conversation with Tania at TOC design, we knew that she was the designer we wanted to work with. Very down to earth, thoughtful and putting us at ease since my husband and I were hiring a professional designer for the first time. We loved her personality as she was sensitive to our ideas yet no afraid to challenge us to think outside the box! We were scaling down from a much larger house and one of the main objective was to give us the sense of space, flow and a contemporary feel that we desired. She ended up designing the entire house, as her ideas were so inspiring and practical. Our design portfolio gave our contractor and millworker all the details necessary for delivering on time and within budget. They were very impressed!! The designs she created far exceeded our expectations and the results are exceptional. This is by far the smartest money we've ever spent, having saved us valuable time, money, and headaches through out our renovation process. We look forward to work with Tania again on another project and would highly recommended, TOC Design. Sincerely, Rob & NathalieRead More

The kitchen and dining room of my newly bought old house had been untouched for 60 years. After a few months I knew approximately which wall I would put down, and how people should circulate, but that is about it. TOC accepted the challenge of designing those two rooms. Tania proposed three initial very different floor plans. After I choose one, she prepared an extremely detailed design plan, including a cost estimate, that matched my criteria: more light, better circulation, storage in drawers... under a limited budget. It was extremely reassuring for me that Tania kindly explained why some of the ideas I had were not that great. I felt I could trust her. The contract was also very clear and there were no hidden costs. I am not yet at the building phase, but the list for constructions material (e.g. numbers of recessed lights, electrical boxes, square foot of plywoods and hardwood...) and the plan is so clear that I feel confident going forward. Having TOC in the process was essential.Read More

I contacted TOC to "stage" my condo prior to selling. I was very impressed with their presentation and decided to hire them. It was the best thing I did to improve the prospects of selling my unit. It was like one stop shopping. TOC explained very well how they would re-arrange my furniture, buy some new accents, and greatly enhance the look. Well, they did not disappoint. I was thrilled with the look and feel of my newly designed place. Everything from beginning to end was very professional. Even the invoice provided a detailed breakdown of the costs involved. They did the shopping and in a matter of a few days my place looked better then it ever did. I would strongly recommend the services of TOC design for anyone looking to enhance the value, or look of the house for a relatively small investment. I can honestly say it was money well spent.Read More

TOC design was hired to consult and design plans for our new Kitchen ,Powder & Laundry Room. Tania did a great job with all the details (concept, tiles, backsplash, colors etc.) but especially the lighting plan. Lighting was always a afterthought until we met Tania and now it happens to be on top of our priority list after seeing the import ants of proper lighting in each room. She gave excellent design advice, thoughtful recommendations on materials and great suggestions. We definitely would recommend TOC Design.Read More

We hired TOC design to remodel our kitchen. Once the plan options were delivered and final design decided, we then hired Tania to manage our complete kitchen project. Tania handled everything and we were very pleased with the end result. The project went seamless and Tania was very accommodating and worked tirelessly. Tania and her crew delivered the finished project on time and on budget. We were also very impressed with Tania's attention to detail which is evidenced in our finished kitchen. We would highly recommend TOC Design.Read More
