As a real estate investor doing gut and renos projects always come with their set of challenges. Mario is a veteran and a team player. He took the time to understand the high level plan, the detail for each room, plumbing, electrial, finishes, and overall vision I was going for. My last project with him, a single family home conversion into quadplex had it's fair amount of issues. But Mario took each issue and handled it with focus and clear communication every step of the way. He always kept in mind my vision and never diluted what I was trying to create, I couldn't be more pleased with the final outcome. One thing that sets Mario apart from most general contractors that I have worked with is his communication style. We had daily conversations with status updates on items completed, any issues that came up, items scheduled for next day, and overall tracking on the schedule. Having someone on site day in and day out, and working with the trades on all details and providing updates was critical to keeping the project on track. Mario is also a highly experienced, electrician, framer, plumber, and finisher. This helped save me time and some money as he worked on much of this himself and didn't have to bring in more expensive trades. I especially appreciate that he does not cheap out on the little stuff or cut corners, if there is an issue on the site, he always gave me the honest truth accompanied with a solution. He did his best to stay within my budget and worked with me on options whenever needed. His honesty, genuine care for the project, and attention to detail makes Mario a winner for any reno project. - Lionel ​

I called Paul to give me a quote on a water pipe upgrade to bring my 1/2 pipe to a 3/4 inch. After doing a lot of interviews I found Paul to be the most informative, professional and competitively priced person for the job. He came in with his team on time, worked through unexpected issues with my old house, and still managed to complete a spectacular job on time and with great quality. I am very happy with his service and would definitely recommend Paul and his team.

Anatoliy came to my house the day after I called him, and stressed the urgency of the job. His crew started the work immediately the next morning. I was extremely happy with the speed and efficiency of their work, and the clean up was stellar. These guys know what they are doing and after getting a lot of quotes found Royal Works to be spot on for the combination of professionalism, speed, quality of work and competitive pricing. They are a cut above the rest and would highly recommend them.

Assisted Review

An assisted review is collected by a contractor on behalf of the homeowner after their work is completed. The homeowner must confirm the text of the review and may make any changes she or he deems appropriate. The homeowner then assigns the contractor a review score out of 10. Assisted reviews receive the same scrutiny as other reviews and must follow our review guidelines.

I went with the Solex Group because I wanted a professional who was certified to do home inspections and could break it down to me in laymen terms. My home inspector Vahn did just that! He took time to explain all the issues in great detail, along with recommended solutions for each. The report itself is incredibly detailed and is being used by my contractors to repair the house. What I liked the most is that although the property had some significant repairs needed, Vahn stayed objective and provided a clear path forward. Great Work!

Glad I was able to help Lionel. Truth is, Ontario has some great home inspectors who really care about their clients. But there are bad apples in every industry....being an unregulated industry, we have our fair share of cowboy's out there. And it's these bad apples that give us all a bad name :( Thanks again for doing your research and choosing Solex Group.
