Basement Finishing

One of our biggest home project we have done so far so very nervous when picking the right contractor to do our basement renos but we are very much satisfied and pleased that we made the right choice. Adam ensured that our basement needs were met, he made sure he gave us ample time to think about major decision to make from the layout to picking up the right faucet and at the same time giving his honest opinion what will and will not work. Matt and Andrew (brothers which I always thought were twins hehe..) were very- detailed, provide impeccable and quality work. The electrician Jase fulfilled our dream of having house hard-wired (it's a four storey townhome) and we are so happy with the results

Adam and the crew were easy to work with and the best thing was they listened to us and never rushed. They accommodated our plan changes in the middle of the project few times

We also got them to install outside railing for easy access for the seniors visiting us and the railing looks solid. Again very happy with the results.

We are definitely going to have them for our next renovation and would highly recommend to our friends.

Kitchen renovation

Two weeks ago our kitchen was completed by Grand Building and we are thrilled with the results. Adam, Brad and the team did all the rights things. A condo kitchen renovation is not as simple as a home renovation so you need to be more organized and plan out the project completely. It started with Adam detailing all the deliverables, co-coordinating with our cabinet maker and preparing a detailed project schedule with adequate buffer for the trades to work effectively. Every trade from the tiler to the electrician, quartz counter-top installers and the plumber came in on schedule, worked professionally and finished each task perfectly. Brad was meticulous with the drywall and painting. Even the demolition was quick an orderly. The best part was that everyone showed up when scheduled and tidied up the job site before leaving. The project came in on time and on budget and looks outstanding. I would highly recommend Grand building.

Installation of stone walkway, railings for porch

I had this company pour concrete in a circular fashion from my front porch to my driveway. They installed stone over the existing porch, new walkway & a sidewalk to the backyard as well as putting in beautiful black railings.

The cutting of the stone in relation to the circular walkway for stone design in 1 small area was a sloppy mess. The placement of the stone on the porch was better. I feel that the installation of stone to the walkway to the backyard could have been better if the mason staff measured & cut appropriately. I know that having a neighbors fence in the way is not easy to work with but we all want perfection.

While looking at the work I noticed that the spacing between the stone was not consistent. When the job was fully completed I had Jason come out with another mason person & he advised that a acid wash should be done as the cleaning of the stone was not done properly. Also after 1 winter 1 stone has cracked due to run off water from the porch & 2 other stones have fallen off.

I was advised that the company came when I was not home & did an acid wash. They did replace the cracked stone along with filling in a few areas of concern. I still am not happy with the acid was as it looks horrible from the street.

The owner Alex & his son have showed up without calling on my property numerous times stating that they would do another power was or acid wash but they only showed up for a smaller project looking to be compensated.
I have not heard back from this company or have been contacted by them.

I am in the process of consulting another company to repair their shoddy work.

What could this company do to improve their services?
Stop using excuses regarding a new mason person not wanting to take on small repair jobs. Just hire another mason person & validate his references first before working for you.

Company Response

Cathy, we made every attempt to correct the issues pointed out with the stone project we completed. After coming back four different occasions to make repairs there seemed to be more and more issues that were being noticed. Its very unsettling that we could not make you satisfied as we strive to complete our projects with utmost client satisfaction. With regards to stone work the final results are based on the complete project outcome rather then basing the results on a few minor flaws (which Grand Building addressed and corrected).

Deck Project

This contractor installed a deck without any support footings. When the building inspector came by he wanted it torn down. What was the contractor's response? The building inspector is wrong! They knew better than him!
3 other contractors came by to propose fixing the deck and couldn't believe the poor quality of the job.
We demanded a refund and they just bailed.

Company Response

Gary, after closely examining our contract with you it is very clear that we were not commissioned to build you a complete new deck. What we had agreed to was to remove and replace deck boards, railings, and stairs. Our agreement also included repairing and solidifying the deck joists, which we did. What was also discussed was to use the existing supports, there was never any agreement to incorporate new support posts. When the project was completed you were happy, paid us in full, left us a positive review on a similar website, and even asked us to quote on an additional project. About Two months later you contacted us saying that you had an inspector pass by the house for an unrelated issue and you claimed that he pointed out a code violation and that the deck needed to be altered. At this point we were more than willing and cooperative to assist in fixing the so called code violation. We attempted to contact the inspector numerous times and requested a document illustrating the official cause of the code violation. We never heard back from the inspector and we were never given any documentation specifying the issue. At this point we decided that in order to keep you happy and preserve Grand Building's reputation we would send in one our trades people along with one of the owners to figure out a solution, which we did. The solution that we came up with was to install new additional supports, which you happily agreed to. Shortly after this meeting you contacted us back demanding that the deck be torn down and rebuilt or that you wanted a full refund. Let us be very clear, we never bailed on you, just like we have never bailed on any project before. The last correspondence we shared you said "At this point I have no interest in receiving any further correspondence from you, just a cheque".

Master Bathroom, windows and dorrs

The designers worked with us on finalizing details and materials. The trades men were excellent in knowledge, skill, resourcefulness. For both projects (kitchen and replacing windows in the house) the crews were quick and each evening the work area was cleaned up thoroughly. Quite the bonus when you are living in the house during any renovations. We recommend Grand Building because of their high standards for quality and expectations from the trades people that they work with.

Heated Driveway

We needed to make our driveway safer to walk on and decided a heated driveway was the best option. After obtaining 3 different quotes for electric heat we selected Grand Building and Contracting Ltd. They offered the best price, a flexible payment method, completed the work within 1 week and kept the worksite neat. They kept us informed about the project progress. They were professional, friendly and trustworthy and we wouldn't hesitate to contact them about our next project.

Bathroom and Outside Deck/Patio

From start to finish and after this was a great experience. The work was done in a very professional, neat and clean manner. Our deck/patio turned out even better than we had envisioned and that's because they considered our 'vision'. The bathroom turned out top notch, they used qualified plumbers and electricians. They always responded to any concerns or questions and in a timely fashion. Would not hesitate to call upon them again.

Kitchen renovation PLUS

Grand Building transformed my crappy dysfunctional galley kitchen into a gleaming open area with lots of storage and counter space. Not only was the pricing right, but Adam offered impeccable design advice which worked in every instance. Plus, Grand Building keeps to a tight schedule and every crew was professional and tidy ... I was delighted with their work and recommend their work without hesitation.
