Fencing work, landscaping, stone work

I hired Mike and his team for the project. It involved fencing, landscaping and stone work. All the project took about a month to finish. The workers were efficient and everyday arrived on time and also left the space organized and clean after the work. Deadlines were met and Mike was co ordinating about the progress all through out the progress and also offering suggestions and guidance. Really appreciate his friendly and personalized approach to the customer. Their service is customer centered. The final price charged was as discussed in the start and the payment terms are very transparent and reasonable. I appreciate the job done and would recommend this company for sure

Kitchen Remodel

I hired Mcg contracting for remodelling my kitchen and they did a great job. Their workers and professional and friendly and took precautions in regards to covid. Final price charged was in line with initial price estimate and we also got some discount on the bill as they have some offer going on for now. We're totally satisfied with their service provided and the end result is satisfactory. I would recommend them for contracting work they're reliable and reasonably priced

Kitchen Remodel project

I hired this company to remodel my kitchen as it had gone old and rusty, had to change the tiles, cabinets, wall paint. This company did a great job and finished the project on time. They made sure to keep everything organized and followed all the safety protocols. Finish quality is great and cost charged was affordable for this good quality of work. I appreciate the job done by them and would recommend this contracting company with my highest regards

Stonework in the garden, parking area

We hired this company for stonework in the garden pathway and the parking area, their workers are really skilled and did a great job. They arrived everyday on time and left the place clean after their work, they were taking precautions in regards to covid. The project deadlines were met and the quality of work provided was good. The price charged was also reasonable compared to 3 other contracting companies we requested a quote from. Really appreciate the job done by them, have already recommended them to my friend who've hired them for basement renovation.

Frustrating Fence Rebuild

First, I don't enjoy sharing disappointing reviews like this, but really felt the need to because my experience with this company was frustrating.
- This company installed a 68 ft fence as part of a larger project in my neighbor's yard, so I went along with it. But from the start, I was treated rudely. When I asked for a complete job quote (with a breakdown of costs), I got a rude text and email from the owner (I wont' get into details, but it was unprofessional and disrespectful). Considering how crazy lumber prices are right now (almost double), I wanted to understand exactly what I was paying for, so I didn't deserve that treatment.
- I also asked several times about options/advice (anything!) on how to resolve serious drainage issues along my fence, which would've been nice to address while the fence was being built, but I heard nothing from them, and when I finally did get a response during the middle of construction, the price to do it was astronomical and without breakdown (compared to other quotes I received).
- After the fence was officially done, the area along it was a complete mess (mud everywhere, grass gone, ground was very uneven with pits, a large cement boulder was left on the ground). I had no idea the fence was done at that point (because no one was communicating with me at all), so I had to call the workers back and remind them several times to please level the ground and plant some grass seed or something, which they finally did.
- In the end, they built the fence. Julian the foreman was nice and good to work with when I asked directly. For that, they get a 4/10. But frankly, I don't understand how a company can have such strong reviews when they treat people like this. If transparency and communication are important to you, then don't hire them. If not, go right ahead.

this is a fraud review. we have never done any work for anybody named George. this is from one of our competitor's and I brought this to Homestars attention and im shocked they even put this review up.
as you can see we have a steady rating of 10s so for us to get a 4star rating is un heard of. this fake review should be taken down immediately and to who ever put this review up you should be ashamed of yourself ...

Backyard Renovation

I hired MCG Contracting to renovate my backyard... fence, interlocking, sod and shed. Everything looks great but unfortunately they were unable to sod my backyard as the sod company wasn’t cutting sod yet. I would like to thank... Julian, Ash, Braedon, Marlin and David for the great job that they did transforming my backyard.

Deck and Fence

We had Julian come and measure to add to our fence and build a small platform deck. He came up with a Great idea on how to attach the posts to our existing fence by building a track and keeping it with the same style. Charlie, Marlon and Julian were fantastic. Got the job done in about 3 days. Very polite and hard working. Mike is the owner and he was easy to deal with as well. All in all the fence and deck look fantastic
