We worked with Lynda & Dhiraj to style and furnish the Living room, dining room and kitchen of our new construction build home. We asked for a modern and warm theme. Lynda took the time to truly understand our style and what we liked and then came up with design options for each room. We did not need to make revisions as she got it right the first time! Dhiraj has multiple skill sets in home design and construction and working with them together worked very well. Not only was Lynda and Dhiraj great to work with professionally but they are just good people and it was a pleasure to deal with them both and have them in our house. I highly recommend them and will be working with them for other areas of our house.
C.D Dhiraj exceeds the Customer Service benchmark as his motto is “Going Beyond & Exceeding Any Benchmark” on the tasks/jobs he commits too. Customer Service to Dhiraj strikes a very personal cord, I say this because he takes his jobs/assignment to a very personal level and works on them as if it was his own. He makes no comparisons and works constantly to ensures his customers & friends are not only gratified with his job but are simply speechless with the end product delivered.
A few among the many striking qualities that are embed in Dhiraj: Extremely Trustworthy, Down to earth mannerism, always thinks “out-of-the-box”, comes up with pioneering designs, finds solutions and ample patience. Dhiraj worked on furnishing our basement in 2013 (Rosehurst Remodel) in Mississauga. He worked phenomenally beyond our expectations. As each day passed, I only gathered more confidence and confirmed that our decision of hiring Dhiraj for this assignment was a perfect one with absolutely no regrets. A.N We hired Dhiraj to modify and re-do the full basement and found his recommendations and advise to be awesome. His suggestions helped us to better utilize the space\area we wanted to modify. He did some electrical work and fixed some major issues, plumbing - created a new washroom\shower stall. He recommended a gas line for the dryer and cooking range, as well as one for the outside barbeque. His finishing was excellent. I was particularly happy with his attention to detail.
It was all very well done. The price was very reasonable and I would definitely hire him again in the future. ( I actually had to hire his services again as I was affected by the great flood in 2013). He again saw to it, that everything was completed and looked the same like before. G.R. Dhiraj is a perfectionist with his work. Great ideas and goes the extra step to ensure he has done an amazing job. If you have any renovations and expect the best with exceptional service, don't waste your time looking any further. I have researched and met with several contractors. Dhiraj immediately stood out as being extraordinarily professional with great ideas. He did an incredible job and I will never hire anyone else for home improvements.
K. C We had contacted Wilde North Interiors to add art, rugs, lighting and accessories to our home. And they more than delivered on finishing off every room. You don’t need to look at any other interior designer in the GTA. Lynda's eye for color and detail has given every room a unique personality with each item carefully chosen and tastefully styled. It’s not easy to let someone come into your home and make changes but you have to trust her. They have transformed our home and we find ourselves spending more time in every room.
N.S.B I recently got my kitchen renovated while I was on vacation. Dhiraj had full access of my house and did a fabulous job with my Ikea Kitchen. I am happy with my kitchen.
Dhiraj is honest, committed and a hard worker. Lynda also assisted with decorating my kitchen. I would definitely recommend Wilde North Interiors for any projects. S.D. Dhiraj from Wilde North Interiors was very professional from the time I reached out to him to inquire about work I needed to following up post-execution. Not only was he very detail oriented but he also pointed out areas where improvements could have been made in the process and build to make the outcome better than I expected! I would highly recommend Dhiraj, he did an outstanding job on the back splash installation for my Home Wet Bar, as well as on building custom floating shelves to installing them with integrated LED lighting. Thanks Dhiraj!
R.S. Dhiraj did my back splash for my kitchen. I picked up the tiles from a garage sale. When the job was complete it looked a million bucks. Dhiraj is very creative and passionate about his work and he will go far.

Lynda and Dhiraj have done an amazing job with our new home. Lynda has put in a lot of thought into each and every decorating detail and it shows in the final product. Our home has been transformed from what would have been an "average looking everyday house", into a "show home". We can`t wait to begin hosting parties soon..............
We had grown so fond of our previous home, and were scared when we decided to move. But now, believe me when I say the BEST decision we made was to buy Berryman Trail. SECOND BEST decision? To hire Lynda and Dhiraj to plan and decorate our home. Well done Wilde North Interiors!!! R.D Creative, Hardworking, Precise, these are just a few words that describe Dhiraj.
We had a vision for our finished basement ,we needed someone with the knowledge and the expertise. We knew of others in the market who would do the job but after meeting D it was clear to us that none other could deliver. D does not take shortcuts no matter how long it takes to complete the job, this is very important, he is full of great ideas and always offers you options and solutions based on your budget. D is very knowledgeable about the various products available in the market and on the internet to achieve a desired result. Fortunately for us when the work commenced, D and us shared the same tastes and opinions. I did not hesitate one bit to leave my home in D’s hands while we were at work as he became like family to us. D is very passionate about projects he takes on and completes it with precision. We pushed D to create and achieve our vision and ideas, we are on top of the world with the results. I am proud to show off our basement to everyone. L.B.P. We cannot tell you how much we appreciate your hard work over the last few months. We especially love your attention to detail and your willingness to work with us on the many changes. Thank you so much.
F.S.F Quality craftsmanship! Framing work is excellent! Dhiraj's measurements are 100%!!! Able to tackle issues methodically. Keeps the job site clean! Is punctual and reliable! Takes pride in their work!
Trust their advice 100%. They know what is best and will work with you to build on your budget, needs, wants, wishes and suggestions. He knows his limits and calls the right trades when necessary to ensure timely and professional completion. Excellent knowledge of construction, building practices, building permits, current and future technologies/ materials/ trends etc. Excellent planning and design. Willing to make changes during the build process. Worked with many contractors before. Wilde North have a positive attitude and are passionate about the job at hand, no matter the size or budget. Overall, I highly recommend them. F.F. Usually I don't write reviews but this time I had to because Lynda & Dhiraj earned it. They decorated my home from foyer to bedroom, I am glad I hired them. My house looks like a home, it's hard to tell which room is better than the other. They spent time with us to understand our needs and wants, and designed according to that. They are passionate about their work,I highly recommend them for any interior design and construction work. I am looking forward to working with them again.
S.S. It was a pleasure to have Dhiraj and his team work on my flooring project. Not only did Dhiraj provide valuable advice, but also helped with the selection of materials. Dhiraj is very knowledgeable and dedicated to his craft. He takes great pride in his work and this is reflected in his attention to detail.
Dhiraj and his team did an excellent job overall. The flooring was done perfectly and I have received several compliments from visitors to my home. I would not hesistate to go with Dhiraj again for future projects and would recommend Wilde North Interiors to anyone looking for experts in this field. S.K It was a pleasure to work with Dhiraj, Lynda and their crew on our basement project. Dhiraj took on every initiative with great enthusiasm and commitment. His professionalism and work ethic are second to none, demonstrating the most important value - his passion to the entire project!
We had the opportunity to express our vision for the space and they translated it beautifully by bringing our basement to life! Thank you for the excellent craftsmanship and dedication. We now have our own private oasis, so peaceful and relaxing. Overall a great partner to work with - I would highly recommend Wilde North to anyone looking for professionals in this field. R. K I am writing to express my satisfaction and gratitude to Dhiraj and Lynda D’Souza of Wilde North Interiors for the professional and creative remodel of the main floor of my home - bathrooms, kitchen, dining room, family room and master bedroom. They listened to my needs, helped me to see the possibilities, and created a look with which I’m thrilled. The quality of their work is exceptional, and truly appreciated. They are perfectionists, who match my own high standards. The outcome has exceeded my expectations on all levels. I highly recommend this dynamic duo. You will be delighted with the results.

My Mum and I approached Wilde North Interiors and asked them to take out our bath tub and install a walk-in shower. The bath tub was over 40 yrs old and was a cast iron one, which we were not aware of. The removal of the tub was a Herculean task, but both Dhiraj and his assistant Kurt handled the removal very tactfully and skillfully.
The end result of this project amazed us. They gave us a white washroom, which was accented with black - knobs for the drawers and handles for the closet and a black faucet in the vanity basin. An exquisite and perfect display of great craftsmanship executed by Dhiraj, his assistant Kurt, Peter the taper and Karl who so very neatly and precisely did the floor tiling in the shower cubicle where the drain is in hiding. The lighting in the shower area and the sconces over the vanity provide much brightness. A few grab bars in and outside the shower area have made it most accessible, convenient and comfortable for my Mum (82 yrs old).
Congratulations to the proprietors Dhiraj and Lynda, and their team Kurt, Peter and Karl for their tireless efforts and most efficient performance. Thanks to you all.

My kids and I were anxious to have a finished basement to not only enjoy ourselves but to entertain friends. I was definitely not disappointed! Dhiraj’s professionalism, thoroughness and work ethic worked perfectly for me. I had always desired a white basement, he helped choose colours, made helpful recommendations and provided extremely helpful ideas and tips for areas of the basement. During the construction phase, the workmanship and efficiency of the crews from the framers, the drywall and the finishing crew did a professional job but also I did not have to worry as he managed the project in its entirety, which is a huge bonus. We are ecstatic over our new basement, and can’t wait to show it off! Thank you again D for providing my family a fantastic basement and years of enjoyment ahead!

My wife and I wholeheartedly recommend Dhiraj D'Souza and his remodelling & renovation company Wilde North Interiors. He has great knowledge and insight in remodelling & renovation of homes, and even the outdoor deck & outdoor kitchens spaces. He has a thorough knowledge of how a home should be constructed.
He is an excellent craftsman and his work is of a very high standard displaying detailed workmanship and execution. He is highly professional, he lists in detail the work to be done, and also mentions items not covered ensuring there are no surprises. And even points out any dangers that are noticed when the wall or floor is opened up.
When he renovated our bathroom, on opening the floor and the walls behind the shower faucet he noticed mold caused by bad workmanship of the previous contractor. He immediately alerted us and repaired the damage. The previous contractor had also wrongly vented the bathroom exhaust into the attic. Dhiraj corrected this and fixed the exhaust to vent outside the house through the side wall.
Because of his excellent knowledge of home renovation and fully trusting Dhiraj we left it entirely to him to create the design of our bathroom. He did the work in our absence, while we were on vacation.
He also remodelled and modernized our main floor powder room, again in our absence. It is a small space which he made look larger by raising the ceiling with crown molding and painting it a pleasing and relaxing white with the feature wall done in arabesque white tile.The toilet roll in a recessed space in the wall, a hot and cold bidet and the wash basin makes for functionality and comfort. Amazing work.
We are enjoying Dhiraj's knowledge, skill in workmanship and high standard in our outside deck. Previously we had to climb down two steps, walk a distance of ten feet and again climb two steps to enjoy our deck and patio. Dhiraj has made our life comfortable by extending the deck. Now we just step out of our home on to the deck and patio. He also installed embedded lights on the wooden fence and LED lights on the steps, resulting in a safe & beautiful deck and patio.
Dhiraj built us an outdoor kitchen 4 years ago. He made custom cabinets with stainless steel top and sides to bear the extreme cold and withstand the rain. Thanks to Dhiraj we are also enjoying a beautiful functional outside shed. The space was a problem for installation of doors, he solved that by installing barn doors and we can now neatly organize our tools and store our patio furniture in the winter.
Dhiraj is exceedingly honest, a man of integrity. He can be fully trusted and relied and depended upon to do an excellent job.
