One of the absolute worst companies you could choose to do any project around your house. If you like ZERO communication or someone who just sends people to your property with ZERO notice. Hire this guy. Not only will he not check any of his subtrades work, but he promises not to let you know what is happening throughout the entire process. He doesn't pay his trades on time, or at all. So when people do show up they are miserable. This company is one of the most poorly run companies I have ever encountered. Don't expect any consultation on the way you want things done. Expect poor craftsmanship, and if there is a problem. Don't expect him to do ANY warranty work, even though it says 10 years. This guy relies, and preys on people who don't know the difference between good, and bad craftsmanship. This garage took him 6 MONTHS to build. I fired him, and re-hired him for 20% less. Even with the discount I wish I just paid more, and told this guy to get lost. It was total chaos, and I would never wish, or recommend this to anyone. WORST CONTRACTOR IN THE CITY OF CALGARY! DO NOT USE! Here is the timeline of what transpired through out my experience with Reg. I cant just make a post like that, and not let you know what happened. A couple of years ago my neighbors across the alley from me hired Reg. I seen they do financing, which i needed to have available. So I inquired. He came by in May 2022. He told me they could get started right away. June they broke ground. They excavated, and made the form for my garage pad. while doing this, they had to tear down some fencing. i told them i would dispose of the garbage. They decided it was a good idea to lean all of the fence panels against my existing fence, and knocked over a few panels. when I brought this up, he didn't even bother responding to any forms of communication about it. there were some weather delays, but the pad was poured in July. With the allocated 30 days of curing time. my garage should have started construction on Aug 10. I never seen or heard from him until September. Always with some sort of lame excuse. I fired him at the start of September. he basically ignored me until I told him I would be turning away any trade that shows up at my house that has any relation to him. then we came to an agreement. Since I had to pretty much threaten him to get any sort of response, I no longer trusted him. I told him I would re hire him for 20 percent less, and his work was subject to 3rd party inspection. He agreed. Framing Package finally comes. Framers hammer off the garage in 6 hours. Impressive. Until you take a closer look. The roof trusses were not set in line with each other, so when they sheeted the roof it is not flat. you can definitely see it clear as day. when i said something about it. the was 0 response. in fact the roofers just showed up, and roofed it a few days later. the tyvek paper was not installed under my fascia boards, so that sheathing will rot. when the framers built the walls. they did not use anything to seal off the wood, to the concrete curb. eg. foam gasket or spray foam. I also ordered 3/4 inch plywood to line my walls with instead of drywall. that is what HE suggested to me if I was to go that route. when they came, and installed it, it was 5/8 plywood. hmmmmm. they thought they could get away with 1 trench for electrical, and gas. dug the trench in June. when October rolls around, and the want to run electrical, and gas finally. they find out they have to dig 2 different trenches, and now have to come in and dig more. All good. now it is all installed. Inspector comes. Trench is not deep enough. take it all out and keep digging. in the snow. ground is freezing. my yard is a mess. A garage that was supposed to be finished by the start of September. Took until the middle of December. Almost 7 months. It took so long the 6 month expiry date for the loan had to be extended. over that time period, I was injured at work. now i am being paid through WCB. I tried NUMEROUS times in the summer when i was still working to get Reg to come by and do the paperwork for loan. No response. when the paperwork finally got buttoned up (no help for Reg AT ALL) they declined my application due to the fact that I had no job. They said when I was back to work. They would approve me. This was not good enough for Reg. Now it was my fault. I was supposed to do all of the paperwork myself. Let me tell you that i have used the exact same financing company with other contractors. They always came to the house, and made sure it was all done properly before work commenced. do not expect that from Reg. You will never see him again once he is done quoting. He doesn't check work, sequence trades, talk to customers, in fact Id say once he has the job, he could careless until its time to get paid. in fact. over the time when i was figuring out the financing the amount of threats, and text messages were uncanny. It was confirmed! His phone does work!! he put a lien on my house, and still refuses to remove it even though he has been paid. All in all. Reg is a degenerate. He has no idea what he is doing, and is in way over his head. Stay away from this terrible company.
