Maximum General Contracting Inc. reviews (54)

Two friends had recommended Maximum General to us after they did underpinning work for them. John and Louis gave us a clear quote and were quick to start the underpinning/benching project once permits were received. Throughout the process they regularly consulted with us about timing, options and issues (e.g., on drainage & plumbing lay out). Ultimately, at our request they also oversaw installation of a backwater valve, in-floor heating system and boiler, sump pump and sewage ejector. Their estimates for such additional costs were always reasonable and fair. They finished the job much faster than a contractor doing a similar job on the street. Louis has been very responsive on followup matters. We highly recommend them.

John, Louis, Jesse and crew supported us during our custom built home renovation. We are so thrilled we chose Maximum General Contracting to take on this enormous life changing endeavour. From demolition to underpinning, to building additions and preparing drains and flooring, shined throughout the entire process. They always provided timely insight and suggestions to expedite the process and maintain our timelines and stay within our budget. Constant praise from Toronto City Inspectors and Structural Engineers during various stages of inspections. People often say, “Renovations are a nightmare!” not with these professionals. Our deepest thanks

these guys are great! louis and his team showed up everyday and worked hard and efficiently. they kept us up-to-date with all construction related matters and work schedules. work was performed safely and on time. guido

My contract with Maximum was for the underpinning only. These guys were terrific, professionals in every aspect. I would strongly recommend Jesse and his team anywhere, anytime. Most importantly, the job was completed within the timeline specified. Once the underpinning was complete, Jesse helped with all other aspects of the renovation. He recommended his trades from framing to plumbing and insulation even though it was not part of the original contract. I ended up using those guys as well, great work at a reasonable price. I give Jesse and the Maximum team 100% and would use them again in a Heartbeat. Thanks again Maximum. Best, George

I recommend MAXIMUM GENERAL CONTRACTING INC. for the complex work of underpinning foundations. They did a superb job for our house. They are reliable and very nice to work with. They made the construction process as easy as possible.

John, Louis, Jesse, Billy and the whole Maximum team was true professional when it come to basement underpinning. We hired them to lower our basement to 8-feet. They showed up 7am every day ready to go. For such a big job, I felt like it's in the right hands through-out the whole process. Our job turned out to be much bigger than expected. But they have the experience to handle more than just a regular underpinning. I can recommend them for underpinning work as well as foundation work. It's a family-owned, trust-worthy business. They are a benefit to all home owners out there who are looking for good contractors.

There is definitely not enough space for all the great things I have to say about Maximum General Contracting. I would give them a 20/10 if I could. I initially heard of Maximum General Contracting from my realtor/friend who told me he recommends them all the time and everyone he had recommended them to say they are the best!! Well.... they were right. I hired them to waterproof my extremely leaky basement and I am so happy with the work they did and I have to say that they are BY FAR the BEST trade company I have EVER dealt with!!! First off, this company is the real deal. They came for a quote when they said they would and they were able to show me so many things I didn't even know about my own house. They gave me a really good price and I let them know I had some time constraints and Jesse and John bent over backwards to accommodate me. They showed up every day on time and worked extremely hard all day long - most of the time, they didn't even stop for lunch. They work very meticulously and made sure every last detail was perfect. Every member of their crew is a perfectionist. They were so smart and knowledgeable and I was kept informed of every step of the process. I never had to wonder about anything. Jesse called me every day to keep me up to date on what they were doing that day, what was finished and what was up next. This is rare. You don't get customer service like this anymore. This company exemplifies customer service and it's so important with jobs this big to kept informed. The whole crew went above and beyond my expectations every single day that they were at my home and I knew I was in great hands. They looked out for my best interests every step of the way and this was very refreshing as I had dealt with a few shady contractors during my renovation process. They were also extremely careful with my home and treated it as if it were their own. When they left, my home looked just like it did before they started. They cleaned up behind themselves so carefully and even took time to help out another trade I had working in the backyard. They wanted to make sure I didn't have any issues with another trade. I can't tell you how much I appreciated all of this. Another huge added bonus is that the entire crew was so much fun!! Everyone was amazing and so hard working. They put in 110% effort everyday and worked tirelessly all day long. Like I said before, it's very difficult to find companies with these principles anymore. They showed up every day, they were on time every day, they gave me a great price, they worked exceptionally hard all day, they made sure it was perfect, they cleaned up and they kept me very well informed about everything going on. What more could you possibly ask for? This is why I say I have never been so happy with a trade company! They were a dream. Exactly how you would want a job of this magnitude to go. I will be highly recommending them to anybody and everybody who needs their services. They are the best in the business and I will be having them back to my home for other jobs now too. I am so happy I found them!! I am actually going to miss having them around (for now - as I will be hiring them for everything else I need to do). To Jesse and John and the whole crew - Thank you for everything and for going the extra mile every step of the process !! I couldn't be happier!!

maximum general contracting did a very good job; underpinning my basement and putting a separate entrance. His crew (especially billy) were great, showed up early and consistently. jesse and louis were quick to respond when unexpected issues came up. they did the job within the time frame they had said. my basement looks great and i am happy with the quality of work. I am especially pleased with the stairs they made going down to my new entrance; it looks amazing.

John, Jesse, Louis and team did an excellent job with the underpinning project at my home. The team is very hardworking, professional and just all around great guys. They came early every morning and worked 6 days a week. The project was completed within budget. Part two of the project will be building an extension at the rear of my property and I trust these guys will also do an amazing job with it based on the work completed so far. Stayed tuned for a further review.

I found these guys on Homestars, I'm ok with their work. I wished I had external waterproofing and underpinning the basement floor. Due to limited budget, we had internal waterproofing and underpinning the basement floor to 8 feet high. They started on time and are working hard everyday and on weekends. Jesse has been a pleasure to work with and I would not hesitate to recommend them.
