What makes working with Forester different?

We're a family owned business with over 35 years of  hands-on construction experience.  

As your day-to-day project lead, I offer over 20 years of construction experience with roots in design. My career began studying environmental design, interior design, and communication design at OCAD. After graduating, I brought these skills to the family businesses.

I've lead projects for both Perino Homes and Forester Excavating and Landscaping ltd.  We've recently merged these two trusted businesses to serve our clients more efficiently.

I have acted as lead project manager for a  structural steel engineering firm. I am also a certified Home Inspector and teach Structures for Home Inspectors at a local college.

I'm known for my attention to detail, hands-on work ethic, honesty and integrity. 

Here's what our clients have to say about working with our team.  Read our testimonials.

“Domenic and his team were straight-shooting pros from start to finish. They informed and helped shape our plans, which required no small measure of flexibility when our 102-year old home revealed a couple of surprises. They kept us engaged throughout, and the pragmatic solutions that were offered kept the project on track and consistent with our vision. The workmanship was great, and the end result was tremendous - we couldn’t be happier.”
— Craig D.

He is flexible and willing to suggest a variety of approaches with cost saving in mind. Arrival on the job was always prompt and work was done on budget. His team always left our property in a clean and orderly manner. ”

“Domenic and his team were all very professional and thorough in all aspects of the renovation project at my home. Domenic’s strong attention to detail and his focus on making sure everything is just right was impressive and made a huge difference to the end result. I appreciated how he kept me informed at every step of the project, so that I always knew what was happening when and what options were available to me cost-wise and/or design-wise. I rest easy knowing that the renovation Domenic conducted at my home was done well, to code, and with the utmost care. I would not hesitate to recommend Domenic to anyone else looking for professional, high-quality workmanship.”
