Ottawa General Contractors

Prior to beginning the renovation, we researched several potential candidates. We were hoping to finish our basement to add to our available living space. We were particularly impressed with the way Jonas Murphy, the product estimator from OGC, handled the upfront work. He made some excellent suggestions regarding the layout of the basement that we used in the final design. His estimate was very complete and accurate and he handled everything in a very professional manner.

The job was scheduled and once it was underway, Steve Saumure, the project manager, managed the work in a very professional and and efficient manner. He was able to deal with any change orders that came up promptly and in such a way that it did not affect scheduling. At the end of the day, the project was completed on schedule and within budget and we are very pleased with the results.

A big thank you to OGC! We would recommend them to anyone looking for a home renovation contractor.

As a homeowner, I did a thorough online search of renovation companies in Ottawa and was impressed with the website of OGC. I was particularly impressed with the fact that the owner of OGC, Moe Abbas, was on the Board of Directors of the BBB for Eastern Ontario and that his firm, OGC, had received numerous commendations for excellence. I decided to give them a call and was surprised to get such an immediate and helpful response from Doug , who Identified himself as an OGC "Project Estimator" ; he assured me that he would be my primary point of contact for the up-front analysis and we made arrangements to meet and review my requirements/expectations. I was very comfortable with his courteous, knowledgeable and customer focused manner. From this point forward every step of the renovation process was absolutely clear, detailed in writing, time framed, costed...AND DELIVERED! I was delighted with the professional team from OGC who attended to every aspect of my renovation project from start to finish. In particular, James, the Project Manager, performed beyond expectation in keeping my wife and myself fully informed of progress, even while we were away on holidays, and in ensuring that our "wish list" was implemented to its fullest. James and his team performed in an exemplary manner from start to finish. The reno of both bathrooms was completed ahead of schedule and with an obvious attention to professionalism and customer satisfaction. And, when the project was finished, there was absolutely no hassle in terms of pricing! The OGC team went the extra mile to more than satisfy our needs and expectations. It is our pleasure to highly recommend OGC for home renovations; you won't be disappointed with their service!

I was more then please with the service I got from Ottawa General contractors. Very friendly, honest and punctual people. The work was done in a appropriate timeline, the workers were very nice and respective of the environment. The work is amazing and I just love it!! Thank you a thousands times Ottawa General contractors!!!!

very bad planning. too many workers at the same time or none when supposed to have some. It took five months before seeing the end of the renovation. They had to redo flooring, partitions, etc. They had to take all cupboard doors back to the shop to re-stain them. Real nightmare.

Hello,

I hired Ottawa General Contractors last month to finish my basement and add a kitchen. The renovators did very good job on the basement. I will 150% go with them again for my next home renovation project.

It only took 3 weeks to complete, in and out. Letting my family enjoy the new basement is joyful. Thank you Ottawa General Contractors, I hope you enjoy the fruit basket my wife made you personally :)

We hired Ottawa General Contractors because of their reviews, so I'm leaving mine. We initially wanted a design for our kitchen and bathroom but ended up doing the entire build with them. They had us sold on another bathroom along with our original bathroom and kitchen renovation combo because of their financing options. We shopped around and they have the best financing and home renovation services from what we found. 10/10 on quality, punctuality, timeliness. 9/10 on price but that gets saved with the 11/10 on follow up responses. The team handled the entire renovation very easily.

We haven't actually tried other contractors, but we don't need to. OGC is our go-to team and hopefully I'm helping you make the right choice! Thanks again guys, and thanks for the gift basket!

Ottawa General Contractors are honestly the ones to call. We have hired them twice now, our kitchen and our basement. We would recommend them to anyone thinking of renovating.
Last spring we had our kitchen done as it was completely outdated and very closed in. I was provided with a 3D version of the kitchen design of how they could open up the space and what they can do with it. My husband and I went to their design center, and sat down with one of the designers, Chantelle, who we easily connected with. We discussed what we wanted and within minutes she was showing us all these great samples and our different options. I was extremely pleased with their work and the end results as well. We actually got our basement finished with them recently. Completely new walls were put in, ceilings and floors, electrical, the works! The men were courteous both times, polite and worked really hard to build everything to my expectations, with really good work ethics as well! They respected my home and kept the site clean when they were here. We agreed on a budget and they stuck to it both times. I would recommend these guys to anyone. Thanks OGC!

Hello, I'm Gregory and I hired Ottawa General Contractors 3 months ago to renovate my kitchen. Friendly, hard working and commited with a 5 year warranty. Overall, this company deserves a 10. Details below.

We bought our house 5 months ago and it's quite an old house. My wife and I are shopping around for a contractor and pick the top 5 we've found. I remember seeing Moe, the business owner of Ottawa general contractors, on the news so we got in contact with them. All the different contractor companies we met were friendly but the big thing that won us over was OGCs previous experience and their 5 year warranty was too big to pass up. So we went with OGC.

Chantelle, a designer there, worked with my wife on the design. They had in house samples, coffee and pictures to show her. The process was very well done and entertaining. We got a 3d design of our kitchen and it looked really cool. We made minor revisions, well my wife did anyways, and began the renovation.

So long story short, the renovators respected the time and they respected my home. They were on time and clean. Friendly, answered some questions.

1 thing that stood out for me was when there was that our kitchen was old and was powered by one outlet on 1 circuit. They filled us in on all our options and helped us pick the best one for our lifestyle and future. With how large our kitchen was going to be, another circuit is required. As a new home welcoming present, they gave it to us as part of the original contract. Thanks again for that guys :)

At the end of the day, these guys know what they're doing and will give you what you're looking for at a reasonable price. They're friendly, respectful and hardworking. I personally wouldn't go with any other contractor.
