Install fence- 27 Jun 2026
We would definitely recommend MSG. Majd clearly knows his craft and cares about quality, both physically and aesthetically, consulting with us throughout the process to ensure we knew the progress and any alternate solutions to obstacles. He and his crew were friendly and professional, and didn’t let rain slow them down. They paced themselves well to get the job done in two days. They took particular care to be safe and also considerate of the adjoining neighbours’ properties, especially when taking down a tree. The site was cleaned up sufficiently, too. Majd takes appropriate pride in his work, and he is careful to abide by the written contract and terms. Yet he even put in extra, unbilled effort to ensure a better result (such as leveling some uneven ground to make the fence boards align). We are thinking of other projects we could have him do, and have already recommended him to a neighbour. Thanks Majd and team.

I have tried emailing, calling and leaving voicemails, with no one caring to return correspondence. The items are still outstanding from 30 day form, and 1 yr form, but no one responding back. How can these outstanding items be resolved, as they were reported on time? I have submitted to Tarion and still nothing. I would never buy a home from this builder and I recommend you dont either. I had purchased my first home from Rosehaven, and all of the home issues were resolved within the first 6 months of living there. What a stark difference I am so upset, and I feel very under appreciated as a client.

Sealing / caulking- 23 Aug 2025
Did a great shop caulking our kitchen. We had to call Josh to come back as there were some spots that needed touching up,(no fault on his part, just an old uneven kitchen), and he returned the next day and it looks great. We would hire him again.

Build furniture- 12 Feb 2026
We worked with Andrew and Rory to design and build a custom storage bench and dining banquette for our kitchen. We needed an upholstered seat and backrest with enough storage underneath for large countertop appliances, as well as a custom-sized oval pedestal table to fit our limited condo space. Andrew and Rory handled the initial measurements and consultation, then provided a clear project estimate. After approval, they returned to confirm measurements and review the design. The bench was built in two phases—structure first, followed by upholstery—with the table completed after installation. The entire project took about 2.5 weeks from first conversation to final install, which felt very reasonable for the scope. There was some back-and-forth on the table design and a bit of missed communication around design changes for engineering reasons, but overall we’re happy with the quality and would consider working with them again.

Repair or transform furniture- 2 Dec 2025
He was super quick and came and picked up the ottoman I wanted modified a few hours after I posted. He was really communicative and sent pictures along the way with updates and only took two days to do the job. The ottoman looks great and is exactly what I wanted. A thing to note would be to polish up on finishing touches. The upholstery was a bit choppy and the edges aren’t clean There were wood shavings on the main piece that was covered by the removable covers so I didn’t notice it until I brought it inside. Overall it now has storage which is exactly what I asked for and I’m impressed with the speed and quality for the price.

Unclog drain and sewage pipes- 15 Jan 2026
Farzad was quick to respond and very pleasant to deal with. He attempted to auger a number of times but the clog was too far down the sewer pipe and was not able to fix it. He explained what was required and didn't charge for the call-out - I appreciated that very much.

Wonderful experience and job well done. Special thanks to Michael for heading the crew and getting the work done ahead of time. The backyard grading along the property line between my neighbour and myself happens to be quite contentious. It has been mediated by the Richmond Hill Grading Department (RHGD) who have been quite understanding and reasonable in their handling of the situation. When the request came from the RHGD on what was needed on my side, a call was put in to Greenlane Landscaping to estimate the job and provide details on when it could be done. They, in fact, were the only landscaping company that answered my call. Michael, their landscape architect, came by and scoped out the job. It was done in a professional and congenial manner. The terms were agreed fairly shortly after that (regrade of the the area and resod as needed) and the date was set. There was a wrinkle in that the job date had to be pushed forward to meet the needs of RHGD and that was accommodated by Greenlane. When the date came, Greenlane sent a professional crew supervised by Michael, and they did a highly professional job. The crew was congenial and and empathetic in their relations. The job was completed to a first rate standard. the sod and soil provided were excellent and the instructions provide to keep the sod growing were easy to follow. In fact, the sod is the best grass I have in my backyard. There have been no issues with RHGD regarding the work done so far on my side of the property line. Thank you Greenlane on a job well done.

we found SkyTouch Painting through a referral on social media. we initial had them paint our house to put on the market. They went above and beyond in preparation and in getting the job done in a timely fashion. Our bathroom had old wallpaper that they removed without a trace, and the patch work on drywall was immaculately done. Needless to say, they did such a fantastic job, that upon closing, we immediately hired them to paint our new house from top to bottom, and are again very happy.

The vision was to create a white collar company in a blue collar world; one that harvests accountability, professionalism, customer care and knowledge into an industry that pays very little attention to these important words.

In only twelve short years it has grown to one of the premier landscaping companies in the GTA, continually winning the Reader’s Choice Awards in Burlington, Oakville and Flamborough and recently winning the prestigious Consumer Choice Award in Hamilton and Niagara regions for Best Landscape Contractor. As the company built, so did our teams’ qualifications and specialties. This meant our range of services expanded as well.Paramount now has a senior management team of seven people with over 80 years’ experience in landscaping industry.

Repair kitchen cabinets- 19 Feb 2026
Arvin was easy to work with and was helpful working to find the wood/stain to match my current cabinets and install the required gable. The issue came when he drilled through my laminate countertop when installing the gable requiring repair work. He tried repairing it but ended up making the issue worse. Ultimately, he was flexible in adjusting the price to compensate me for having to hire another contractor to do a proper repair but i still have a damaged countertop which cannot be completely fixed.

Provincial or municipal licensing: Many provinces require general contractors to hold a valid license to operate legally. For example, in Ontario, certain construction work requires a licensed contractor registered with the Ministry of Government and Consumer Services.

Trade certifications: Depending on the scope of work, contractors may need certifications in carpentry, electrical, plumbing, or HVAC systems.

What to Ask Before You Hire a General Contractor Near You

Hiring a general contractor is a big decision. From experience and pricing to project scope and safety, asking the right questions helps you make an informed choice and ensures your renovation or construction project runs smoothly.

Here are some essential questions to ask when choosing a general contractor:

What services do you offer?

Not all contractors cover the same range of work. Some specialise in residential renovations, others in new builds, additions, or commercial projects. Within those categories, services may include kitchen or bathroom remodels, roofing, structural work, basement finishing, or project management of multiple trades.

Are you licensed and insured?

A licensed contractor ensures your project complies with provincial or municipal regulations. They should also carry liability insurance to protect your property and workers’ compensation coverage for any staff or subcontractors. Don’t hesitate to ask about their experience in similar projects.

What’s your pricing structure?

Rates vary depending on project size, complexity, and materials. Contractors may charge a fixed price for a full project, an hourly rate, or a combination.

Be sure to ask:

Is there a deposit or upfront fee?
Are change orders or additional costs accounted for?
Are permits and inspections included in the quote?

How do you handle project changes or issues?

Ask how they communicate about delays, design changes, or unforeseen problems. A clear process ensures you’re kept informed and decisions are made collaboratively.

FAQs: Your Questions About General Contractors Answered

Do general contractors provide design advice?

Many contractors can offer guidance on layouts, materials, and finishes. Some even work with interior designers or architects for larger projects.

How long does a typical renovation take?

Timing varies based on project size and complexity. A kitchen remodel might take 4–8 weeks, while a full home renovation could take 3–6 months.

Can I get a trial or phased work?

Some contractors allow phased projects or smaller pilot jobs, especially if you’re testing their work quality or managing budget constraints.

How do I know if permits are needed?

Contractors should advise on municipal permits required for construction, additions, or structural changes and handle submission if included in their services.
