Do not hire this company!

Right now this company is in posession of $10,500. of my money as a deposit for a large job. One small landindg and stairs was done improperly, they are not making good on their promises, and I fired them. I asked to be charged the labour and materials for said small job and be reimbursed for the rest. No one took pics. not one properly measured, no one called ahead before arriving, they did not complete the job on the first day. The boss so he says, is not responding to me when I sent an email, is continuing to text me after my initial email to company and has not confirmed when I get my considerable amount of funds owing back. No business cards, no pics taken, no meeting of the minds with regard to work I paid a hefty dep. to get done. Not even a measuring tape when estimating said work! I sent an email to them but so far no one in upper management has contacted me with regard to re reimbursement! They have already been in receipt of my funds for a month! Buyer Beware!

Dear Ms. Roberge,

We at Q.E.W. Contracting pride ourselves on the quality of our work and our exceptional customer service. We have been in the business of general contracting for over 30+ years. Prior to this unfortunate event, we have received nothing but high praise from our clients and only positive reviews on HomeStars. We dispute the statements made in your review. The initial deposit of $10,500.00 was paid. Prior to this we completed a significant portion of the work agreed upon in the scope of work and our initial contract. Thereafter, you sought to introduce new terms into the scope of work which related to the removal of fence posts which was never part of the original contract. When our project manager informed you that he would have to check with the owner first before he could authorize this extra work, this is when you terminated our agreement on the spot and refused to permit us to complete the balance of the work you had contracted with us. We never had an opportunity to discuss this further with you. In fact, I was going to let you know that we would have completed this work at a later date at no additional cost to you. Since this time, you asked us for the cost expended on your project up to the point of termination, which we have done.

Front porch and seating area

We found Qew Contracting Ltd., in a flyer that came to our house. We called Saverio Patella for a quote. From the first time we met Saverio we were impressed with his knowledge and professionalism. After examining the plans he was able to give us a quote. The cost of the project remained consistent and did not change after the work began. He gave us a start date and his crew arrived early in the morning on the agreed upon date. The crew worked diligently each day until the project was finished. They took special care to protect the maple tree that was near the area of construction. The work site was always kept neat and organized. Saverio came by regularly to check on the project and to make sure we were happy with the progress. At the end of the project new grass was laid and the my house was left in a neat and orderly fashion. I have received several very positive comments regarding the look and construction of the porch and the seating area. I am seriously considering renovating my kitchen next spring and I will be calling Saverio to complete the job. It is refreshing and comforting to know that Qew Contracting will quote a fair price for a job and that the work will be completed in a professional manner in a reasonable amount of time.

Bathroom Renovations (x 2)

In a day when it is common that there is a lack of follow up, and communication, this would never be the case with QEW; communication is a key critical element of their existence; you never have to wonder what is going on, or what is happening as they are masters of communication. I can honestly say, never, and I mean never have I had someone more committed to keeping the customer informed (and therefore happy) than them.

I was so pleased with the results of the first bathroom reno, I moved right into the second one - with them - it was only natural.

Two old, poorly renovated bathrooms were transformed in a century old home and we are absolutely thrilled with their service, their work, the care their workers took and the results.

repair front porch & steps and front path

Front porch was flaking badly and front path had developed major cracks. Saverio, the owner, was very helpful in assisting us with choice of product etc. His quote was higher than some but was well worth it for the superior product used and the excellent workmanship. Barry, assisted by his son Dylan, removed the old concrete where necessary and poured new concrete. He then laid sandstone pavers, two inch on the porch & steps, one inch on the path. To our great satisfaction he was able to maintain the existing curved route of the path . A new railing was also added and we could not be more pleased with the outcome. Many neighbours have already complimented us on the finished product. We can highly recommend QEW Contracting.

Ensuite bathroom renovation

We just finished our ensuite bathroom renovation and couldn't be more pleased! QEW Contracting was professional from start to finish. Paulo and George were so friendly and perfectionists about the quality of their work. The communication was outstanding - we always knew which trade was coming on what day. Thank you to Savario and the rest of the team for taking such good care of us and providing us with a bathroom that we want to live in! The custom vanity will provide us with extra storage for years.

Front Handicapped Accessible Deck

This was for the removal of an old wooden deck and ramp, shrubbery and installation of a new composite deck and ramp with new footings, supply and install baked enamel aluminum hand rail, and new lighting up ramp. Savareo was helpful with finding assistance with financing this project, respectful of the quick time that was needed for completion (due to my husbands accessibility requirements) and the finished job was beautiful, functionable and we were satisfied. This was completed in August, however we are still waiting on one handrail to be installed. I am advised this should be completed by week of Nov 12

Dear Roxanne
Thank you for your review. I am happy you are satisfied with the work we did on your deck and ramp and that this has helped your husband with his mobility requirements. I spoke to Paul on Monday November 12th and he told me that the handrail was installed that same day. Thank you for the opportunity to work with you and your husband.

Patio, porch, walkway and stairs

After multiple quotes and interviews with the most highly rated contractors, Savario was the only one who seem to understand our requirements and helped us achieve what we had in mind within our budgets. His team delivered on time, the job was finished in the time frame promised, quality is unmatched and end result beyond our expectations. Best of all, didn't have to worry about clean up. Every day we got home from work, it did not look like a messy construction site. His crew was even so careful as to replant the garden they had to move and made sure they kept the plants watered regularly so they didn't die. Customer service we received would get a 100 out of 10. Thank you for such an awesome job done Savario!

Kitchen Renovation

I met with Severio in January of this year, told him what I want done and what I could afford, he came back with a quote and drawings! He took my vision and made it come true!!!! I cannot express enough how grateful I am to him and his crew! I had no drama and they finished on time!!! I have a beautiful kitchen that I will enjoy for years to come!!! Thank you also to New Image Kitchen great job! Any concerns I had Severio addressed them and kept me informed! I think I talked to him more than my husband!!! There is nothing that I don't love, the tiles, the cupboards, the backsplash everything looks fabulous!!! I would highly recommend him and his crew! They made the reno painless!!!!! 10 Stars from me!!!

Home Accessibility Renovation

My husband was recently in an accident causing us to have to purchase a new home. It proved challenging with the home market at a high at the time. However we were able to locate a ranch style bungalow in our preferred location. The property was in need of a full renovation for wheelchair accessibility, therefore enters Saverio and his team. We tied in an accessibility resource to assist with some of the required functionalities and equipments to accommodate a person using a wheelchair.

Doing a new renovation for accessibility is challenging on its own, add in the guidelines and licence requirements make it even more so. But Saverio was on site on a daily basis working with his team to ensure all was running smoothly. Due to time constraint, Saverio made solid recommendations to make sure we were happy with the work.

Full renovation entailed restructuring of the whole house for easier access to and in the house taking into account specific turning radius - spacious bedroom with ceiling tracks and other equipments, accessible bathroom, door openers, lifts in backyard and garage, ramp within city guideline. Open concept for easy navigation in the house. Backyard Deck and Landscape. Awning on front porch to offer shelter from sun, wind and rain.

The house is beautiful and peaceful. Set up is just what the family needs to heal after a trauma. A big Thank You to Saverio and the team. We will be spending our first Christmas in the house this year and my family cannot be happier.

Dear Maryjane and Chris:
I just wanted you to know that we truly enjoyed working with you and Chris and feel deeply honoured to have been your general contractor. It was a privilege to have the opportunity to renovate your home for wheelchair accessibility.
My team and I learned so much from working on your project. The team will remember your project for a long time to come because of how nicely they were treated, how appreciated they felt and what new things they learned about accessibility and home modifications.
We truly look forward to continuing our relationship with you and Chris in the future, and should you have any questions about the work that was completed, please do not hesitate to call me.
We truly hope that you and Chris and the family enjoy their first Christmas in your new home.
Again, thank you for your review. All the best and many blessings for now and the future to you and your family.
