Garage Conversions
I am sharing my experience to help others make informed decisions. I am not sure how the positive reviews for Salman Ellahi were posted, but based on my experience, they did not reflect reality.
Unfortunately, I became one of the victims of relying on those reviews.
I approached Mr. Ellahi for my garage conversion project and paid the full amount of $1,950 upfront. After the City of Toronto identified several violations on my property—issues created by the previous owner without City approval—Mr. Ellahi stopped responding to my calls and messages. Most of the time, I received replies stating he was “out of town” or “in meetings.” Last week, after calling twice, he answered my third call and began yelling and shouting at me without any reason, as if I was asking him for money rather than requesting support for a project I already paid for.
I strongly advise anyone considering his services to think carefully. He does not demonstrate the expertise required to handle complex or unexpected issues. I have since consulted a BCIN‑licensed designer, who identified multiple flaws and non‑compliant elements in the drawings provided by Mr. Ellahi. As a result, my payment of $1,950 has been wasted.
Please seek a qualified, licensed, and professional designer—someone who respects clients, communicates properly, and understands their responsibilities before and after receiving payment. This is my honest review based on my personal experience.
Please don’t trust the below all 5 star positive review please do your home work before approach this guy . If you still trust this guy and willing to go with him ,don’t pay any money . Once your job is done without any issues then pay

Extremely rude and unwelcoming! Had to request to call back as I got a client at the door. He started yelling at me saying he would never do that in the middle of a conversation. I had to hang up, very unprofessional ! More...

Your approach is unprofessional you called and want me to wait for your client. I will never do with my clients like that and then close the phone. Such kind of clients are not qualified clients at all. Waste of time on a long weekend.

I decided to get my basement renovated and met with a few contractors for the work. When I met Salman from SHAFE Inc I immediately felt comfortable. He was very knowledgeable and immediately told me what was possible and what wasn’t. He continued to help and advise through out the project regardless of whether it was in his scope of work or not. He was very helpful and delivered what he promised in a timely way. The team came and went in an organized fashion and I was always informed ahead of time. I would definitely recommend SHAFE Inc as their product is very good and the work is done in a professional and timely fashion. They understand the value any renovation adds to a place and work to achieve what was desired. More...
