Our Story
Ground Up Services Inc. was founded in 2007 with a simple philosophy: "Gus can do it." What started as a small general contracting operation in Toronto has grown into one of the GTA's most versatile construction and fabrication companies — trusted by homeowners, business owners, event organizers, and leading brands across Ontario.
Over 18 years, we've built a reputation for taking on projects that others won't. From full-scale commercial renovations and residential remodels to custom metal and wood fabrication, festival stage construction, brand activation builds, shipping container conversions, and professional signage — we thrive on diversity and complexity.
Our in-house fabrication shop at 80 Power Street in Toronto is the engine behind our versatility. With capabilities spanning metalwork, woodworking, welding, CNC cutting, and composite construction, we can design and build virtually anything — from a bespoke restaurant bar to a multi-story festival viewing structure. This vertical integration gives us complete control over quality, timeline, and cost.
Today, Ground Up Services continues to grow while staying true to the hands-on, client-first approach that defined us from day one. We're not just contractors — we're creative partners who bring ideas to life with the same passion and precision whether it's a kitchen renovation or a 50,000-person festival installation.
