There are many reasons why I do not recommend Mei Wah Construction. The first of many reason are that one, the father could not speak English so communication was through the son Keon, who not only showed up late but never listened to our requests for our basement renovation. Other reasons include that they built 2 walls in the wrong locations and to fix their mistake they requested more money. They also built a wall over our water on/off switch, cut the tube that drains the washing machine and failed to seal it properly so there is water damage to the floor and drywall, they did not put a heat vent in washroom and began to tell me that there would be enough heat from the furnace room that is beside the washroom that miraculously the heat would come through the walls. The walls that they built were not straight, where the walls meet the ceiling the seams are all crocked because failed to use a level. Most of their taping was visible, there is rippling on ceiling, and in the bathroom they attempted to use regular drywall tape to tape the shower stall and not the proper waterproof tape required. They began to take up another contracts and said they were delayed on my job because they were waiting for me to get the supplies, however when I purchased everything they requested with in a few days of them asking they never even used the materials till the end. When I demanded they not lay the hardwoods until after they fixed the rippled walls and after the tiles were laid in the bathroom they ignored my request and began to lay it anyways. We ended up terminating the contract and at that time they attempted to remove all the doors and trim which we paid for. Do not use this company, they are inexperienced and do not use the proper tools for the job. They might be cheaper because they demand cash for under the table work, but in the long run you will pay.
