General Contracting Work For Renovation of Home

I'm disappointed with many parts of the renovation. From sloppy cocking (holes )around the bathtub and countertop behind the sink (mold traps) to a lack of communication with the owner!
For example, Drywalling over the coaxial outlet for the internet and then blaming the electrician. We had internet put in for our contractors such as Ian to avoid miscommunication however he chose to ask an electrician instead of us if we needed it. We did need it and it was a pain to reinstall and more$$$$. Our dishwasher has white fluff sticking out of the sides. There are random tiles left from being removed. Uneven vinyl planking
etc........

Company Response

Thank you for your feedback. We appreciate all reviews as they offer an opportunity for us to reflect and address concerns. However, it's crucial to mention that Jacki was not our customer, nor was she involved in any aspect of the project; the contract for this project was with a company and Amanda, who owns the company, was our only point of contact for this project. Therefore, I'd like to offer clarity on the points you've raised in respect to the agreements and communications made directly with our client, Amanda. Also, Tara Construction Inc. extends a year's warranty on our work, ensuring the satisfaction and security of our clients post-completion. Up until this review, there had been no correspondence regarding any issues. Prompted by the review, we reached out to Amanda, our client, who expressed her satisfaction with the work done. Our engagement with clients doesn't end post-completion; we strive for their continued satisfaction and are always ready to address any concerns within the warranty period (please see a screenshot of the correspondence with Amanda verifying that fact - https://snipboard.io/tsm0yn.jpg).

1. 𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗺𝘂𝗻𝗶𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 & 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗖𝗼𝗮𝘅𝗶𝗮𝗹 𝗢𝘂𝘁𝗹𝗲𝘁: The main line of communication for this project was established with Amanda, as she was our direct client. The decision regarding the coaxial outlet was made promptly considering the workflow and the contacts available at that moment. We maintain rigorous documentation of our communication with Amanda, including over 136 WhatsApp messages, emails, and calls during the two weeks of the project which doesn't include the communication we had with her before and after the project.


2. 𝗗𝗶𝘀𝗵𝘄𝗮𝘀𝗵𝗲𝗿: The protective jacket around the dishwasher is a simple feature to adjust. It's designed to protect and can easily be tucked or trimmed, ensuring the appliance's aesthetics and functionality.


3. 𝗧𝗶𝗹𝗲𝘀 & 𝗩𝗶𝗻𝘆𝗹 𝗣𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴: Every decision regarding tiles and flooring was based on direct instructions and consultations with our client, Amanda. Amanda sent Tara Construction a WhatsApp message stating, “Are you interested in removing the rest of the tiles, at least where it will be visible… Forget about behind the fridge… And repairing the walls so I can just paint and not have to deal with those tiles at all in the kitchen? We can put some cheap peel-and-stick backsplash up, so the repair job doesn’t need to be perfect just even.”

Regarding the Vinyl Planking The installation of the vinyl plank flooring presented a challenge due to the significantly uneven subfloor, which would have required over 150 bags of self-leveler to achieve a smooth base. However, due to the client's budgetary constraints and the tight timeframe for project completion, it was not feasible to create a perfectly level surface. With the budget she had we did the best we could with the available resources to fix some of the flooring issues.

At Tara Construction we always align our services with the needs and budgets of our clients, ensuring optimal results within the given parameters.


4. 𝗦𝗹𝗼𝗽𝗽𝘆 𝗖𝗼𝗰𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴: This is not a service we provide. 😉 With regards to any Caulking issues we always strive for precision in every project. We have records and documentation detailing our work and are confident in its quality. However, should Amanda find any issues, we are more than willing to review and make necessary corrections.

I'd like to emphasize that the project was undertaken with Amanda, who has expressed satisfaction with our work (please see a screenshot of the correspondence with Amanda verifying that fact - https://snipboard.io/tsm0yn.jpg). We understand the significance of online reviews and believe in transparency, clarity, and factual representation of events.

If you have further concerns or would like more details about the project, we encourage direct communication with Amanda, as she was the principal client and decision-maker in this collaboration.

Complete Condo Renovation

Initially we chose Tara Construction not only because they not only gave us a fair quote for the work of renovating our condo, but they also supported women working in the trades, which was important to us.

The renovation is now complete and we simply could not be happier with both the result and the process. Ian was a wonderful communicator, responding promptly and clearly to our concerns and questions. The work itself including plumbing, electrical, new ceilings, recessed lighting, new flooring, wall removal, shiplap installation, bathroom remodelling and overseeing the trades who installed the new kitchen is truly top-notch - and came in on budget and on time!

Ian took full leadership of the project. He even returned to the site on a Friday evening at the end of a very long week, to sort out an unexpected issue and make sure everything was running smoothly. Ian and his team also worked quite well with the on-site condo supervisor, following all condo rules and regulations to perfection.

We could not be happier with our decision to choose Tara Construction for our condo renovation project and benefited from both Ian's excellent work ethic and his wonderful Irish sense of humour along the way.

If you are lucky enough to choose Tara Construction do your renovation I have no doubt you will be as grateful as we are that you did!"

Fast & Friendly

We needed baseboards installed quickly before our scheduled painter arrived on our renovation project. Ian gave us a quote and fit us into his busy schedule just in time. He was quick and skilled and we're so thankful we didn't attempt to do it ourselves! They look amazing! We'll be calling Ian for all our future projects!

Basement Development

Working with Tara construction was an excellent experience. Ian did a great job of keeping our project on time and on budget. He communicated with us often while working in our home - always letting us know when contractors would be in/out. Ian was up front about ways to help us save money without compromising quality. All inspections passed the first time and we know Ian worked diligently to make this happen. We are very satisfied with the finished product!

Bathroom Shower Addition

I had a half bath that I wanted to add a shower to in my house. While looking for contractors to do the work, I happened to come across Tara Construction, and I'm certainly glad I did. Ian did fantastic work and was always very communicative and dependable. After the job was complete, I unfortunately had a leak arise due to a manufacturers defect in the shower. Ian was still extremely helpful and came back to make sure the job was completed to the perfection I was looking for. All in all, would highly recommend.

Insulating basement rooms, general odds and ends

I've had Ian help me with various issues and upgrades around the house over the last year, and I look forward to continue working with him. Most recently, he helped with reframing and insulating two of the basement rooms, including re-paning a window, coring for a proper laundry vent, and helping with customizing a fan and under-stairs storage for the furnace room. And was incredibly helpful with the odds and ends around prepping and finishing work done for an electrical upgrade as well as sump installation.

Ian is really helpful in discussing options, works incredibly hard, and is great at keeping me up-to-date about what's taken place during the day, and what the future plans are. I even had compliments from 3rd party workers about the quality of the internal framing that was done.

I look forward to continuing to work with Ian while the house is (slowly) improved and upgraded. Thank you Ian!!!

Bathroom fan exhaust vent cap replacement.

We have a small condo in Marda Loop and occasionally we have some small jobs that we can't do ourselves. I contacted Ian for a quote to replace three vent covers and he made time to visit the site and provide a quote within a day. He listened to what we needed done and asked clarifying questions to indicate that he understood the scope of the job.

Once the quote was received and accepted Ian was flexible in scheduling and quick to come by and complete the job.
