The owner, Moe, noticed one of my siding shingles was missing. I knew it fallen down but I didn't have a ladder tall enough to reach it. Moe offered to do it and when I asked the price he told me it was a simple job and he would do it as a goodwill gesture. It only took a few minutes - everything is easy with the proper equipment - and the shingle was back up and secured properly. I appreciated the gesture and will certainly use his services when I need something more difficult completed.

I cannot recommend Viper Home Services enough. Fast, dependable, honest and hard working. Manny and his crew did spectacular work waterproofing our basement and replacing our water service into and out of our home. They cleaned up after themselves, were courteous to our neighbours and made a stressful event super satisfying. It's great to have comfort in knowing we never have to worry about flooding or moisture in our basement again! Thanks, Manny!

Alex did a good job at the design (which was not to scale) and all the other contractors were booked so we decided to proceed with Kasty as he was the only one available and we could use the space for the tail end of the 2020 summer. Despite hearing some warning from others that a 27 year old who claims to have lots of experience and an engineering background would be an issue, we proceed with the project. Things started great and was pleased with the team and work however about halfway through the project we noticed things were being rushed and issues were starting to appear. Typical responses like “we stand behind our work” and “everything is covered under warranty” etc. is what we heard. As we approached the end of the project Alex provided the “Final Invoice” and to let him know if we had any questions. We had done a walkthrough of the front and back and made notes of the parts of the job we were not happy with and some areas where we were over charged. Alex was not happy with the list and became very defensive however after lots of back and forth agreed to a take it or leave it offer from Alex in which we agreed to reduce the final price by $2,235 (~1.8% of the total cost). We took the take it or leave it offer and made the payment in full and ensured Alex signed the final invoice confirming it was paid in full and we moved on. Shortly after this is where things changed... There was a rebate promotion with the stone manufacturer which we were trying to claim however the stone manufacturer responded that we did not qualify as our project was not paid in full. After reaching out to Alex we were told “Not going to go over and above for someone who did this to me” and that “He didn’t agree because he was happy about the conversation” and “Like I said you have a 3 year warranty regardless of how I feel. I put the needs of my work before mine”. 2 month later the cedar trees that Alex planted died. I was told there was a warranty with the nursery and if I got the irrigation system that warranty would be extended (which I did). However, Alex has ignored our requests and those dead cedars have not been replaced. After the winter we noticed lots of cracks, chips and crumbling stone and reached out to the stone manufacturer (as we had a lifetime warranty on the stone). However, received the same response that the contractor (Alex) indicated the project was not paid in full. So finally I escalated the issue to the President of the stone manufacturer and requested an investigation, after providing copies of the emails from Alex and the signed invoice confirming it was paid in full they honored the warranty and also provided me with the rebate that was previously declined. They mentioned they take these matters very seriously and provided a list of approved contractors who would repair the manufacturing defects and the stones that have cracked due to poor workmanship (which is normally not covered). Alex did come by after to see the cracks as he was even surprised how bad the issue was awhen he saw the pics but after some back and forth regarding the quality of the job was told “You can use the money you shorted me to hire someone to fix the work. You wouldn’t want someone who had bad workmanship to fix your yard yea? No one believes a single bad review saying I didn’t honor a warranty, especially when you didn’t pay your bill in full. And I will make sure everyone knows that” which he did in his responses. So I will somewhat agree with his response on the Google Review as we did not pay the “Final Invoice” as we agreed on a “Revised Final Invoice” which was paid in full and signed by Alex. Also, Alex mentioned they did everything they could to keep us happy, so I have uploaded some pictures of what things look like after he tried everything to make us happy (imagine what it looked like before). My expectations for workmanship and quality was much higher for a $130k job. Alex wish you all the best!

John Routier and his crew were a pleasure to deal with. Workmanship was excellent and completed in a very timely manner. We found John, Ryan, Corban, Aaron and Brandon to be extremely friendly, courteous, and diligent. John was able to handle extra requests while onsite and was always gracious and accommodating with our questions and concerns. Three of our neighbours hired Summer Lane Finishing to replace and paint the exterior trim on their houses as well. Our side of the street is looking very smart now thanks to Summer Lane Finishing.

The experience we had was absolutely terrible! We DO NOT recommend this company. We've spent over $50,000 and still have an incomplete kitchen. We told Dan at Caledon Renovations, from the very beginning, that we needed the renovation completed as quickly as possible to sell and relocate for work. Dan told us that he could complete the work in 4 weeks. On June 3rd, 2024, demolition began on our whole main floor. Once demolition was complete, no one showed up for 2 weeks. We were constantly told there were issues sourcing product, finally, when he showed up with the floor tile, it was not what we had picked but decided to continue anyway to speed up the renovation. It is now August 7th and it still not done. There were several quality issues that were addressed several times and Dan offered to come back to fix these issues for a 3rd time - we declined. The final straw was when we had a subcontractor show up at our house demanding money or he would place a lean on our house. After speaking to this gentleman, we found out that Dan had not paid him and said it was because we owed money - we were paid up to date. When we told Dan we do not want to work with him because of the trouble he has caused, he offered a refund of $1200 for upper kitchen cabinet doors. Even though we were not satisfied with the refund amount, we agreed. We told him to pick up his sign from our home and give us the refund. That was 6 days ago and we've heard nothing from him. We now have to hire another contractor to finish the renovation which is going to cost us more money and time.

I hired this company to repair my roof and remove a large tree that was growing too close to the house. They were excellent from start to finish. The team arrived on time, assessed everything carefully, and explained the work in a way that was easy to understand. The roof repair was done quickly and with great workmanship. They fixed the damaged shingles, sealed everything properly, and made sure the roof was secure and protected. The tree removal was handled safely and professionally—they took down the branches and trunk without causing any damage, and cleaned up the entire area afterward. I’m really happy with the results. My roof looks solid again, and the yard is clear and safe. Great service, fair pricing, and a very reliable team. Highly recommend them for roofing and tree removal work.

We decided to underpin our home in the Beaches, but we were worried about the water table and potential flooding. FoundationGuard really put us at ease by doing digging tests beforehand to make sure everything was clear before they started. That extra attention to detail gave us a lot of confidence in their work. Once the project got underway, the team was responsive, professional, and efficient. They installed steel beams for extra support, added a drainage layer for waterproofing, and installed a backflow valve to protect against future water issues. We also decided to add in-floor heating, and they handled it without any hiccups. The whole process went smoothly, and they kept us in the loop the entire time. The quality of their work speaks for itselfour home feels secure, and we couldnt be happier. If youre considering an underpinning project, we highly recommend them!

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.
