We chose Garcon after several quotes, not only based on value but because Jason (their estimator) was on time, friendly and understanding of our needs. We had them repair a floor joist in our living room ceiling and replace our entire living room ceiling. The work they did was excellent, especially the mudding that Victor did. The guys that took out our ceiling did a great job as well, protecting our floors from any damage. All the workers were polite, professional and did a great job cleaning up afterwards. We dealt with several people from Garcon, Jason always got back to us promptly when we had questions or concerns. The taper Victor was always on time and very polite. However, he was the only punctual worker. The first day we were told the workers would be at our house at 9:30, we called at 10:30 to see where they were and was told they were on their way. They showed up after 11:00. The second day the drywall was delivered at 8:30 and we were told the installers would be here at 10:00. We called at noon and were told they were on their way and should be there soon. At 2:00 we were told they should already be there and at 3:00 we were told they were not coming, which wasted an entire day off of work. Day 3 installers came and installed the drywall ceiling. They did a very good job, but did hit a wire when cutting out the junction box causing an arc. At this time we only knew that there was a spark and nothing more. Day 4 and 5, Victor showed up on time and did a great job (to which we have received several compliments). We were told that the job would be done by Day 4, but it was not completed until Day 7 due to the missed day. The job was completed and we went to install the dining room light and found that it no longer had power. We called Larry at Garcon to have them come in and take a look at it. He stated that he would get in touch with the electrician and call us back. We had to call him back three times through the week to ask what was happening, as he did not call us back. I spoke with Larry again and he said that he was still working on this and would call me back, he didn't. We then emailed Anthony who stated that he was working on this for us and that it would be taken care of by the end of the week. On Saturday, we still had not heard back from Garcon so we investigated ourselves, saw that the installer had cut through the wire (hot) and cut the casing off another by accident when cutting a hole for the junction box. We had this fixed outside of Garcon as we had waited a week for a resolution. Ultimately the end result was great and looks awesome. We have received several compliments on the final results and we are very happy with the way it came out. We just wish we didn't have to stay on top of them (harrass) so much to get the work completed within a couple days over the verbally quoted number of days.

I hired GarCon to remove an internal load-bearing brick wall and to expand the window opening in an external wall. Adam was nice to deal with and the price was reasonable compared to other quotes. The crew was very polite and courteous and we stayed mostly on time and on budget. Unfortunately, this is one of those companies that you need to really keep your eye on. In the end everything got done, but I had to point out deficiencies and convince them to come back a few times. It would be good to hire a company that just does the best job and not because you are watching.

Garcon has done amazing work for me in the past and is a reliable contractor. I turn to them for any large or small projects and the work is always done right.

My wife and I purchased our first home in August of last year. Needless to say it was a "fixer upper". We had no clue where to start, what to do or whom to turn to. We went online and started doing our research. We came across the HomeStars website as quote relieved that such a site even existed. We called the top 3 rated General Contractors. All were great. They came out, met with us, gave us references. All real professionals. In the end we decided to go with GarCon because were felt an instant connection with Adam, only to be made even more comfortable once we saw the detailed quotation. He completed all the work just as he put in his quote. Some of the work we did included a brand new custom kitchen, 3 washrooms, and a brand new basement. We are very happy with the quality and workmanship, and were very pleased with all the workers that came thru our home. Thank you HomeStars and thank you GarCon. We couldn't have done this without either of you!

Had GarCon Building Group Ltd built the deck for my backyard, work was done very quickly and very professional. Also provided me with instruction on how maintenance for the deck. Had them come back for some touch up after a week. Would use again.

Garçon came in and saved the day. The previous builder left the job undone and would not resolve the problem. They were fast reliable and super professional. I highly recommend them.

We live in a house that is 3 years old. A couple of the windows at the front of the house would leak water when there was a windy rain. We weren't able to pin point the problem and as this continued to happen the window frame and ledge inside suffered water damage. GarCon sent their caulking crew in. They sealed every possible hole/crack on the outside of the house. The leak was finally fixed after about a year. The painter came in and fixed the window ledges and frames and the problem was solved. We were in close contact with GarCon through this whole process. The people working on the job were friendly, they cleaned up after themselves and you would never know anyone was there. Even when the painter was in the house he moved the furniture out of the way, laid drop clothes everywhere and when he left he moved he moved everything back like it never happened. Thank you GarCon!

Adam and Team were professional, courteous, trustworthy, efficient and provided PLENTY of value for money. They provided all of their references and qualifications up front and they were accommodating to all my needs and went over and above on many many occasions - great company to work with. Highly recommend them.

Out of a few contracting companies we contacted, we ended up choosing GarCon based on reviews on homestars, impression and most importantly their price. We are very satisfied with the team lead Larry assigned for our job. Work gets done nicely when he is around but we find work gets a bit sloppy when he isn't around to check on his guys. Unfortunately, I am not familiar with renovations so just 2 days out of the 2 weeks of demolition and rebuilding that my boyfriend was away, the guys finished the framing with bits and pieces of wood that does the job but not proper. Also, another suggestions for other is when demolishing an older home, you ALWAYS find surprises. Be prepared for it mentally and financially. Our place turns out to have hot water radiator rods in between the wall, some rods are old that can be remove and some are still in use. If we didn't put the demolishing on hold, we would have got charged another few grand to get those removed (and it does not include putting the rods back in). We end up finding another company to do that for less than half the price we were quoted from GarCon. No fault for GarCon but for homeowners on tight budget, do your shopping around and take your time.

Moved into house and needed some repairs done. GarCon was responsive in giving us a quote and they completed the repairs in a fairly timely matter. We had GarCon do the following: - Repair a hole in our subfloor - Vent dryer outside - Reinforce support beams in basement (due to crack in one of the original beams) - Move our attic access - Repair a structural beam in the attic that had been cut - Install a Range Hood above our stove with venting outside - Convert a plaster closet to drywall pantry - patch holes in the wall - upgrade our electrical box - fix some wiring in the kitchen - fix lights that were improperly installed. In general we were extremely happy with the repairs and work that was done. The quality of the work that was done was always extremely high. We only had two issues: 1) They did not put up any form of protection when tearing down plaster in our kitchen (despite re-assurances from the foreman that they would). I think this was an unfortunate oversight on their part, but it left our entire main floor covered in white dust that we are still cleaning 6 months later. Fortunately, when moving our attic they properly put up plastic to block much of the dust from spreading (very effective). 2) When repairing the hole in the floor they did not put in any additional support meaning that I still sink a little when I step in the repaired area. The foreman also made a comment that it was not acceptable, went downstairs and then dropped the issue a bit later. My guess is that the issue was dropped due to the way the repair was done. To put in the additional support would have required undoing the repair which would have created more damage then was worth. The repair itself was extremely well done. Aside from those two issues their repairs were extremely well done. The staff was courteous and friendly. They were also very economical and met our budget. Our original quote was for 8000-9000, but they had to increase the amount midway through due to unforeseen electrical issues (upgrading our electrical box to properly support adding and fixing our electrical sockets). Their new quote of 12000 was also quite reasonable, and I think this would have occurred with any construction company. This also caused them to be a bit delayed in completing our project. I would recommend them again and dock them only 1 star due to the two above issues which were not to major given the scope of the project.
