The majority of Gorman-Mazzon Limited’s projects, both residential and commercial, are high-end with significant budgets. According to Lou, the company is set apart in that niche by a few major factors. One factor is their ability to get jobs done efficiently – their sites are almost never dormant, for example, because they know that clients are demoralized when their sites are empty. Another factor is their ability to get the most out of every dollar the client spends. “Anybody can go and pick the most expensive option of every product and it’ll look great,” Lou explains. “But I like to spend a million and make it look like 10 million. That makes the client happy. Additionally, Gorman-Mazzon Limited works with only the highest caliber of subcontractors and tradespeople. As Lou says, “I’m only as good as the trades that are doing the work.” “It’s not about finding the cheapest guy,” he says. “It’s about getting the work done right and making sure the client’s happy. We only work with trades who understand that.” Before working with a new trade, Lou conducts a thorough vetting process. That includes personally reviewing some of their previous projects. In the case of millwork providers, he’ll visit their factory and look around. “If I see a guy that’s spraying the kitchen doors in his back laneway, that’s not the right guy,” he explains. “If he has a spray booth and he’s professional, then we can talk.” JANUARY 2026
