Our Story

Ground Up Services was born from a simple idea: that with the right blend of creativity, expertise, and craftsmanship, any space can be transformed into something extraordinary. Our founder started the company with a small team of skilled tradespeople, and a vision to provide services that went beyond the standard renovation. What began as a humble operation in Toronto quickly expanded due to our reputation for quality and our client-first approach.

Over the years, we have taken on projects of all shapes and sizes, from intricate custom fabrication for luxury spaces to durable and eye-catching festival installations. As our company grew, so did our capabilities and the range of services we offer. Today, Ground Up Services is proud to be a one-stop shop for all things related to contracting, custom builds, and innovative installations.
