Why the name “Tibidabo Home Improvements”?

Tibidabo is the name of a mountain that overlooks Barcelona, the city where Dylan spent many years and is like a second home. We wanted to incorporate the place that means so much to us.  It is Latin for  “I will give you…” Hence, I will give you Home Improvements!

How do you pronounce “Tibidabo”?

It’s easy! Break it into 2 words – “Teebee – Dahbo”.

I would like a quote. What’s next?

After you contact us requesting a quote, we will respond with a suggested timeframe in which to meet. We will arrive at our scheduled time and discuss your plans for your renovation project. We will take pictures and measurements and ask lots of questions.

We will then work on your quote, which can take anywhere from 1-3 weeks depending on the scope of your project and where it lines up in our quote queue. In the meantime, we will likely contact you with follow-up questions until we are satisfied with the detail of your quote. Once you have received your quote via email, it is valid for 30 days.

Why do you take so long to quote when other renovation companies can give me a price straight away?

We don’t like pricey surprises and we’re sure you don’t either. Our quotes are detailed and transparent so you know exactly what you are paying for. Unless stated otherwise in the quote, you should have no added surprise costs at the end of the project.

Are you insured?

Absolutely! We also have detailed legal contracts that we send you to sign upon acceptance of your quote. This way you are protected, and so are we!

I have a really old house. Like, REALLY old… can you help with that?

Yes we can! We’ve worked on houses that are more than 175 years old, whether it’s to modernize or bring out more of the original rustic charm, we work with you to bring your vision to life.

Do you do complete house builds?

At this time we do not. But once you have your house framed and water tight, we can do the rest!

What about exterior work? Roofing, siding, decks, etc?

Our exterior portfolio is currently limited to handy-man fixes, but we can certainly make recommendations for companies who have similar business-values to us.

I need electrical/plumbing/HVAC work, do you do this as well or will I have to deal with separate companies?

We do not have certification for these areas, but we’ve curated an excellent team of people who do! Consider us your general contractor as we will handle the entire building process, working directly with our subtrades to complete the job.

I need a renovation done immediately, can you help?

If you need something done fast, we’re afraid we aren’t the renovation company for you. We are usually booking 3-6 months out and our quoting process takes time as well. But if you are looking to plan a renovation down the line, we can certainly get the ball rolling with your project!

I’ve heard rumours there will be chocolate…

You’ve heard correctly. We hand-make our very own Tibidabo branded chocolate which we leave for our clients when we finish up a project. It’s our way of saying ‘Thank you for trusting us with your vision!

I have pets, are you ok with being around pets?

We LOVE your pets. We even custom make our own Tibidabo treats for the dogs we work alongside with! All we ask in return is for cuddles…from your dogs, that is.

Our Story

Dylan & Terri Gray are two people from opposite sides of the world who had nothing to do with construction when they met.  Another lifetime ago, they each worked in technical and television roles culminating in their coverage of the motorcycle world championship, MotoGP.  Dylan, a British/German living in Spain met Terri, a Manitoban living in Miami, FL at a race in Austin, TX.

Soon after the wedding bells in 2018, Dylan and Terri moved to Ottawa so Terri could pursue a shift into food television by attending Le Cordon Bleu and graduating as a Pastry Chef.  But instead, a Pandemic Pivot was in the cards as Ontario’s construction industry held strong during the Covid years and these two dove straight into it.

Armed with a Master’s Degree in mechanical engineering, industry experience, a personal whole-home renovation, grit and determination, Dylan and Terri constructed a little business of their own.  Tibidabo Home Improvements was established in 2021 with Tibidabo Home & Away soon to follow. It was a time of fantastical change as Daisy Gray was also born that year, perfectly completing the Tibidabo family.

Terri, Dylan and Daisy. The Tibidabo Family
