Excellent work and customer service

We were extremely pleased with the quality of the work, but even more so with their customer service. Bevin was dedicated from day 1 to make sure we were communicated with and satisfied with the work. If we voiced a concern, he was quick to respond and dedicated to getting the work just right. I highly recommend their services.

Roof Top Ladder Installation

I recently took over managing a commerical building that had been converted into loft apartment and needed a roof top ladder installed. I was having difficulty obtaining quotes from other contractors, until a friend recommended Bevan. He got back to me right away with a quote and within a week it was installed! On the day of the install his employees were here at the scheduled time with all the saftey equipment and tools, they were very professional, polite and cleaned up afterwards. I am looking forward to providing more jobs to Bevan in the future.

Basement insulate and drywall

Bevan came out to give us a quote on our project and sent across a quote a few days later. Within a week he was able to begin the job.
I should note that I also own and operate a 95% star rated company on HomeStars with over 150 reviews and know what it takes to impress customers to a point that they will refer us to friends and family. I am also admittedly incredibly demanding of my team on quality work so I admit I can be equally demanding of the trades I use on my own home.
Kangro Contracting is a first class operation owned and staffed by first class individuals. They worked tirelessly on our project and at times up to 10:30 in the evening on a Friday and Saturday to respect our timelines. They did it with amazing attitudes and always striving to make us happy with the final work. Bevan is trustworthy, professional and reliable. I would highly recommend them to any of my family and friends.

Sound proofing a party wall in Semi-detached house

We consulted with a number of contractors about sound proofing the party wall in our semi. When we met with Bevan he explained what he thought the best solution was and did a great job setting our expectations. When we decided to go ahead with the work, Bevan and his crew stuck to our agreed upon timelines and completed the work as promised and on time. The crew did a very good job cleaning up everyday and made sure that we were completely satisfied with the work at the end of the project.

I would have no hesitation recommending Kangro to friends and family and would definitely use them again for a similar project.

Bathroom Drywalling

Bevam drywalled and dens shielded my upstairs bathroom. It was done quickly, and on budget. He even had to navigate some tricky framing (100 year old house), and had to build out the wall in some places in order to properly install drywall. All the time, he kept me informed about what he was doing, and followed up after the job to make sure everything was done properly. This is the second job Bevam has done for me. Last year he drywalled my garage which looks fantastic as well.

Soundproofing

Bevan and his guys were great. The work was on time and on budget (which is the most important), as well they were pleasant to have around and super easy to deal with. I will definitely be hiring them again for other work in our home.

Drywall taping and mudding in basement

Bevan gave me a reasonable price to do the drywall mudding in my basement, and overall he was easy to work with, communicated well, and his team did a quality job. They took extra effort to correct some issues on parts of the wall that were outside of their scope, it really seemed that they were trying to do a quality job that I would be happy with. The only issue I had is that they didn't protect the concrete floor from mud drips, but they did clean it up later and then used plastic. I should have asked them to use plastic in the beginning. Overall, they were accommodating of my requests, communicated well throughout the job, and they did a very good job of the drywall, it is a nice smooth finish. I will be asking them to quote my next job for sure.

Basement Renovation

Thank you Sam, Bevan and team for turning what was a damp, dark, moldy basement into a bright, clean livable space.

While the project evolved into much more than initially planned, Sam and Bevan communicated the issues and provided us with multiple solutions, all the while being mindful of our budget. We very much enjoyed working with the guys at Kangro, and would recommend them to family and friends.
