Ottawa General Contractors

We used OGC for a major kitchen renovation and other small items in 2016. The project started out well but quickly went downhill with numerous delays and long lags between different teams coming in. We found the trades they used to be generally unqualified except for the tiler. They seemed more like jacks of all trades rather than a high end finishing team. The main sub they used could not even hang doors properly. The project manager was checked out, unresponsive and not helpful. It took almost 8 months to get all the deficiencies cleaned up. I would definately not recommend them for a high end kitchen. Details and high quality finishing is not their strong suit.

I hired OGC to do extensive refinishing throughout my whole house, and am extremely happy with the process and the end result. The project involved replacing all the floors, trim (baseboard, door/window casing, adding crown molding), interior doors, and lighting fixtures through the whole house, as well as completely re-doing both bathrooms, adding a built in closet to the master bedroom, and a built-in fireplace/bookcase unit to the living room (plus a few other odds & ends). The whole team worked well together from the initial planning and designing (Nick, Maria), through to coordinating the various tradespeople to keep the work moving efficiently. Communicating with the project manager (Allan) & financial department (Fatima) was quick and easy. The work done by the whole team is top-notch, which all my friends & family will attest to. Finally, I appreciate that all the work is warrantied, and that all of that is dealt with by a single company. I’d definitely recommend OCG to anyone looking to do major renovations to their home.

Right from the initial meeting/consultation, we found the OGC team really pleasant, knowledgeable and all around fun to work with. They were very consistent time wise. The team showed up every day. They worked conscientiously, and cleanly, which was really important to us. During the project, they made recommendations that were beneficial to the long term end result, such as changing our kitchen floor from wood to ceramic. This was suggested by the project manager and floor layer who were concerned with durability. This is just an example of the care we experienced from the team throughout. As with any major reno, we did experience some hiccups, but Allan O. always made himself available to make sure all our needs were met to our utmost satisfaction, including when we needed a touch up done a couple of months ago, 10 months after our project was completed! We love how everything turned out and we love our home! Thank you OGC!

I had a kitchen renovation completed about 2 years ago by Ottawa General Contractors. Recently I started having trouble with the new sink and faucet. I contacted both Ottawa General Contractors and Pearl Faucets. Both of these companies, working in cooperation, and had the issue fixed with a replacement faucet head in under a week. I was very pleased with both companies and their prompt response.

From initial planning, to completion, our full kitchen, greatroom, dining room and powder room reno was handled extremely professionally. The team assigned to our project was helpful, knowledgeable and courteous and the tradesmen took extreme pride in getting it the way we wanted. Most of the suppliers suggested to us by OGC were bang on and any hiccups were fixed quickly and properly. One hiccup was the company used by OGC to provide the garbage bin ripped our driveway up....without a pause, OGC said it would be looked after....
Our kitchen is perfect...our dining and great room are fantastic and our new powder room is exactly how it should be. We were promised a 5 to 6 week time line to completion and we signed off exactly 1 week earlier than agreed on....Reno's aren't easy and you hear a lot of horror stories but if you do your homework and find the right people to help you plan and steer you in the right direction..that's half the battle.....not saying we would do it again but we wouldn't give up the experience....Great job Guys.. we are so pleased with the result.

Ottawa General Contractors are keen on providing a safe work environment, while staying on track with scheduling and deadlines. Job sites have constantly showed progress without compromising qulaity. Ottawa General Contractors always receives my highest recommendations.

Entire experience was positive.The project manager was precise in his description of all of the requirements involved in completing the
work. Those actually doing the work were highly skilled in their
trades, and were very flexible in adjusting to our household needs as the work progressed. A j

I had an amazing experience with OGC after having a horrible experience somewhere else. They did my kitchen renovations with no headaches. They gave me my dream kitchen! The project manager always answered all my emails and calls in a timely manner. I couldn't have hired a better company. Highly recommended.

Working with the OGC team has been one of the highlights of my project. I have been in the trades for a long time and recently stepped away to get into another field. I contacted my old peers and hired OGC to manage my renovation instead of doing it myself. The project was slightly behind schedule but that was because we made changes after the work started. With my background in the trades I was expecting a slight delay. The team worked weekend to finish the project just in time for a big family gathering we had planned. The quality of work is fantastic and the value compared to the other quotes was way better.

I would definately reccomend OGC to anyone looking for a renovation project. Especially when considering the cost/value ROI.
