“I recently had a very large deck replaced by Shining Knight. From the moment that Danielle Knight sent out a questionnaire asking me to outline important elements of the renovation I wanted, I knew the approach of Shining Knight was the right approach for me. Shining Knight proved themselves to be a professional, service-oriented business staffed with highly capable tradespeople and run with integrity, honesty and kindness. 
 
Thank you to all the crew including Graeme, Ethan, Victor, Richard, Caleb, to Dave the most patient, good-natured project manager ever and to Danielle and Josh, owners of Shining Knight. I could not have imagined what a beautiful deck I would end up with when we started. Was it a little harder than we all thought? Yes it was, as any renovation probably is. Did I want to use materials they hadn’t used before? Yes I did! But given their craftsmanship and professional approach, everything came together in the end to deliver an AMAZING deck. A most sincere thank you to the whole Shining Knight crew!”

“From the moment we met Josh from Shining Knight Construction, we had a good feeling. We interviewed 5 different general contractors for the addition on our house. And from the very beginning, Shining Knight Construction showed up when they said they were going to, on time, and did what they said they were going to.

They are a great group to work with, and I couldn’t imagine having done this project with anyone else. Josh, Shane, and the rest of the crew we had the pleasure of working with have been very accommodating and willing to work with us throughout the project. Something we really appreciated.

Trust is such an important thing when you’re spending all this money on something as important as your home. We have been in good hands with SKC throughout the project and I highly recommend them!”

- Bianca Lillyman

“We recently completed a full kitchen and home renovation, and we’re absolutely thrilled with the results. Shining Knight Construction took our dated 90’s kitchen and transformed it into our dream kitchen, modern, functional, and beautiful in every way. 

From the very beginning, the team was professional, detail-oriented, and incredibly easy to work with. They listened closely to our ideas, offered thoughtful suggestions, and delivered high-quality craftsmanship throughout the project. Every element, from the cabinetry and countertops to the lighting and layout, was completed with precision and care. 

They stayed on schedule, kept the worksite tidy, and communicated clearly every step of the way. We felt confident and supported through the entire process, and the final result far exceeded our expectations. 

We’re so grateful for their hard work and can’t recommend Shining Knight Construction highly enough to anyone considering a renovation. They brought our vision to life and made the entire experience smooth and enjoyable. “

“We live in a traditional old fashioned home. Shining Knight honoured our wishes completely and with enthusiasm for our choices. Some kitchen remodelling created a much brighter and useful space. Bathroom upgrades went equally well, along with other changes. We’ve just called them back to redo our rather dark (ugly) closets. Very pleased with everyone there. “

“A very pleasant successful Reno of our two bathrooms. The Shining Knight team were helpful with design and the construction . Each member of the trades was efficient and a pleasure to have working in our home. The process was smooth , accomplished within the stated timeline . Heartily recommend Shining Knight Construction!”

- Elaine Cadell

“Shining Knight has worked with us to complete 3 bathroom renovations and a kitchen renovation and we are extremely happy with all projects. They are professional to work with, provide very clear expectations on cost and timelines, and when things don’t go according to plan (as inevitably occurs when renovating an old house like ours!) they clearly outline the concerns and options to move forwards. I am a picky customer and they always have met my expectations.”

- Sheena Robertshaw

“We were very pleased with the garage conversion into an art studio done by Shining Knight. It was well organized and the budget was adhered to. The workmanship was very good and communication throughout appreciated. We would definitely recommend this reliable company to anyone considering a reno or project of this type! “

- Leslie Lendvoy

“As a retired employee of SKC I can only share my experience as part of the initial growth phase of the company. We took on projects that either met and usually exceeded expectations while growing the skill set of each one of the participants. It set the baseline of where the company is today- reliable, creative, problem solving and producing a high quality product. I continue to be in touch and have had collaborations and/or helping to get some new clients to the table. “

- Chris Stephens

“Josh and his Shining Knight team have done two major construction jobs for my husband and me as well as multiple smaller jobs where we needed advice and help. 
 
I have known Josh since he began his independent contractor business. I witnessed his meeting with my friend who had been left with a mess by her original contractor. Josh quickly laid out a plan to complete the various parts of the unfinished job. He communicated clearly, demonstrated an organized and professional approach, and he was kind to my distraught friend. This picture of Josh remains with me. 
 
Josh and his crew tackled renovations on our house on Gabriola. This involved the roof, walls, floors and kitchen. As with all renovations there were unexpected issues which arose. Josh’s response was always thoughtful and considerate. He discussed the problem with us and made suggestions to reduce costs. When a question arose about a mistake by one of his team, Josh addressed his employee, and spoke with reason and respect. The problem was quickly solved. 
 
More recently, Shining Knight has replaced the deck and railings on our house. The original deck flooring was sloped towards the house leading to water seepage into the garage. The Shining Knight team corrected the slope and rebuilt the structure. The one-story staircase leading off the deck was replaced with one built to code. Josh organized the subcontractors who laid the new surface and erected the railings in a timely manner. 
 
I highly recommend Shining Knight Construction for re-build or new-build construction projects. Josh Knight is a man of integrity in whom you can put your trust.”

“I can't say enough good things about Shining Knight and I apologize for this being such a belated review. In October 2024 we discovered what we thought was a minor drywall repair turned out to be a massive undertaking. A 24' engineered beam connecting our large sunroom to the house had suffered slow water damage behind the drywall so we weren't aware of it. This resulted in major rot and mold damage extending into the attic. To make a long painful story short, reconstruction involved building temporary support 'walls' in the sunroom to support the roof while the beam was removed and replaced, and part of the sunroom and house roof removed to make this possible. This was very complicated, and Shining Knight had to devise a plan to accomplish it, including construction of a replacement beam that would exactly fit the remaining sunroom support structure. During all this, they also discovered inadequate ventilation of the attic due to the original sunroom company sealing original air vents, and a host of other issues. We got lower estimates but
felt confident in Shining Knight's ability to do this properly and professionally. They excelled in all areas. Great ongoing communication, did the job in record time, actually came in under estimate, showed up every day on time, cleaned up at the end of the day, the entire crew was polite, professional and obviously highly skilled. From now on, I won't even call other contractors if we need future projects done, I'll just call Shining Knight.
Josh the owner, Dave the project manager and Graeme the foreman were so great to work with, as well as the other workers. I also have to thank Noah of Sturdy Home Repairs and Joel of Central Isle Roofing who put the finishing touches on the final product. You're all the best!!!”
