Should'a Got Us

We just bought a home and we wanted to put in a fence. This company came highly recommended by homestars and they did not disappoint. Larry is very professional and respectful giving us excellent advice on how to approach our fence. We had something in mind and he outdid himself. The fence is very sturdy and beautiful, and the deck looks brand new!

We couldn't have asked for a better contractor, and whenever we have more work to do down the line, he will be the first we contact.

Our deck was a mess and thru a neighbour who was getting her deck repaired she suggested Larry and Aaron from SHOULDA GOT US come down and give us a quote. Larry answered our text and came down for a chat - one week later we had a gorgeous deck carefully designed and created by Larry and Aaron. To say we are pleased is the understatement of the year. These guys are AMAZING in every sense of the word. Not only was the job done in a timely fashion but they were extremely polite, precise, exceptionally clean and tidied after every day. Renovations at the best are disruptive but these two gentleman worked tirelessly to
complete our deck and it truly was a joy to have them here. We have already booked them for a second job. I would strongly advise anyone needing a Reno or new build - call these guys and I promise you will NOT be disappointed but thrilled with the finished job, ALSO they are very dog friendly guys - which is important if you have dogs who may not take kindly to strangers invading their space. My one dog fell in love with Larry and I think the sentiment was mutual. HIRE these guys !!! You wont be sorry

Please take the name of this company literally. I posted, he and Aaron came to our house within a day, and three days later they were fixing our deck. They are both incredibly knowledgeable, pleasant and don't rush you.
Backstory: New deck last year I could tell was badly done, then subsequently found out horizontal deck railings are illegal in Ontario, when I asked for them, contracted said we can do that. Many other issues Larry and Devyn noticed and addressed, work done in one day. I cannot say enough good things about them. Not enough room here for all the praise they deserve.

Spring revealed a deck peeling badly, loose boards and unsafe steps. Consulted Homestar's and asked for quotes. The "Shoulda" team called to arrange an appointment to view and discuss the project. It was obvious from the outset that they were experienced. They gave a very detailed explanation of what they recommended to rejuvenate the deck. They listened to our needs.! Within 24 hrs they delivered a very competitive quote and were selected. Wow! They delivered! They predicted 2 1/2 days and were bang on the timing and the budget. They had all the tools and were very professional consulting with us before any major step. The deck is the best it has ever looked with the repairs making it safe again, No detail was too small. This is a knowledgeable, professional hard working crew that takes pride in a job well done. I highly recommend their services. Heck, even n the dog loved them.

I had Larry come out from Shoulda got us to do our backsplash. The work he did was very exceptional his knowledge and the quality of work was beyond belief from start to finish. Larry made you feel comfortable it was so easy, gone and very pleasant to talk to. My wife and I sat down with Larry and went over the job a week prior we felt so at ease with him he went over what he was going to do and the time it would take to do it. When Larry showed up he did exactly everything he said he was going to do he laid runners on the floor for him walking in and out he hung plastic up and on the counter. His attention to detail and cleanup was very efficient. When Larry was done we sat down and we chatted. The experience that he has is incredible. If youre looking for somebody to a job for you, I would suggest calling Larry at shouldve got us and have him come out his work is truly 10* plus

Larry made me feel comfortable from the first phone call, he came to visit and look at the areas of concern, after some thought he came up with a plan. After our conversation we hired his company. When he showed up to start work, he showed up on time, he and his team had the upmost respect for our house, they minimized the mess as much as possible and when completed a few days later cleaned up. I can not talk higher of Larry, he's honest, does not oversell and performs quality work at a very reasonable price. If you are looking to have a project completed.... stop looking around and hire Should'a got us, I guarantee Larry will not disappoint

So far, so good with the foundation repair. Came on time, cost was reasonable, furniture assembly done efficiently . Very nice people.

Larry and Dev were great from start to finish! They tiled our kitchen backsplash.

Larry was responsive and personable with our initial inquiries. He was knowledgeable and informative with regards to the work he would be doing. During his time at our house- he arrived promptly, worked diligently and kept a tidy workspace. He was a very easy going guy and we enjoyed our time with him. The kitchen looked amazing and we are so happy. If you are considering their services- 10/10- we highly recommend. Thank you again Larry and Dev!!

In 2020 Larry did a fantastic job of installing a new set of kitchen appliances. In 2021 he brought a team to rebuild the foundation of our summer house. In July this year, we were very happy that he had time to set up a new water heater. His work is always excellent; he makes sure that every detail is taken care of. Before he starts, he explains exactly what hes going to do, how long it will take, and how much his work is going to cost. When he needs to order something like a water heater he gives you the actual bill so you can see how much it really cost. Unlike other contractors, he does not add any mark-up. You sort of hate to give Larry another great review, even though he deserves it, because he will just be even busier but worth the wait. We wish there were more contactors out there like Larry who are trustworthy and do great work every time. We give Larry another 10 out of 10!

We needed to rebuild the deck at my moms house and invited a few different companies to quote on the project. Everyone who responded was very professional however the range of variance in the quotes was incredible.

The one quote that stood out was the response we received from Larry at Shoulda Got Us. Larry was super friendly, knowledgeable and completely transparent. He provided a quote in the Labour and told us that the cost of the materials would be based on what it would cost to purchase them on the day he would go to buy the materials (as lumber can fluctuate daily these days) - with ZERO mark up!

Larry explained exactly what he was doing over every step if the process and made additional recommendations as well (with no pressure to have to accept them) which were all bang on and accepted.

The end result was a gorgeous, well built and visually appealing new deck. All done in the estimated time and quoted budget without any snags or hiccups and nothing but courtesy and professionalism throughout the entire project. And some pretty funny jokes and stories along
the way.

We HIGHLY recommend Shoulda Got Us and have nothing but great things to say about Larry and his partner Devon - awesome crew and will be using them 100% on a few projects we have planned for our new home over the course of the next year.
