About Us

As the owner of the company, Shawn De Taeye was trained by his father in basement waterproofing and general construction and went on to become a certified carpenter. His father, Rudy, operated his business for decades with the philosophy of providing excellent customer service and operating with a high ethical standard.

Unfortunately, his father passed away in 2014, but the lessons Shawn was taught by his father still guide how he operates his business to this day. The company began as a waterproofing company; however, there was also a demand for general construction as well. Given Shawn’s experience in carpentry, the business expanded into a construction division as well.

EMILY | COURTICE, ON

I cannot begin to express how impressed I was with my kitchen reno! Between the owner Shawn and his staff, they went above and beyond from day one. The plans were discussed, delivered and on time. Everything was completed with no issues or complaints. By the way, the kitchen looks ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS! Thank you so much to Shawn and his team! I have some more Reno’s coming up and I will be contacting them!

CAYLA | TORONTO, ON

I hired Legacy Builds to turn an unfinished basement into bedroom with a bathroom concept. They completed the drywall, flooring, and trim in the bedroom. As well as the fixtures, tile work and framing/drywall for the bathroom. They worked efficiently and productively to complete the project on time and budget. I was very impressed with the dynamic of the hardworking team and how easily they answered any questions or concerns that I had.
