Marval Construction

It's very disappointing when you know a person for 2 years and you think you can trust them. As a businessman you think people would not take your money and run but in this case that's what he did.
The reviews are probably his friends because his manners where disgusting calling me names when I asked for my money back. I waited 2 months and everyday he had an excuse. I have texts to backup my story. It's to bad I have to file a small claims against him. It's not about the money it's the principal. Thank God my deposit was not as big as the other clients. How do people sleep at night when you take someone's money and do no work for it. And if they couldn't do the job just return the money.

We hired Marco to refinish our basement stairs. They were in rough shape as we use the side door most often and the winter really did a number on the wear and tear. He was very knowledgeable and understood what we wanted. He requested a 50% deposit and commenced working the next day. He took the time to prep our home for the mess of sanding the old stairs. It’s been 4 days since he started and all that’s left is pulling the tape. A quick job once the paint is dry. We are so happy with his work that I couldn’t wait to write this review. Here is our progress so far and I will continue to update HomeStars as we complete some more projects around the house. We will definitely be using Marco again.

I hired Marco to redo my backyard fence and he did such an amazing job that I decided to have him build a deck from our backyard walkout and a little shed to hide our garbage bins. He got the job done quick and his advice during the process was invaluable. We are so impressed with his service and quality of work that we are now discussing building a pérgula for some shade in the sitting area with fire pit. We are excited for this next project and know we will just love our new space when it’s done. Marco has restored our faith in contractors and we won’t be using anyone else. I highly recommend his services if you are looking for top quality work at a reasonable price.

I had Marval come in and paint my home. He was very polite and professional. He told me it would take 7 days to complete the job. He was able to complete it in 5 days and did a spectacular job. He advised us on colour choice and accents walls, it made our home warm and inviting. Thank you for your wonderful service and great price. We will recommend your services to our family and friends.

I hired Marval to do the interior painting at my home, I was really pleased with the level of professionalism and honesty that this company provided. When I asked for their professional opinion so I can sell my home as quick as possible, they suggested multiple options to modernize my space. They completed the project ahead of schedule and with that to be said I sold my home second day on the market for over my asking price. I highly recommend this company if you want a high quality paint service.

My realtor saw Marco's work at a friends home, and got his number over to me, so I thought he was legit. We were planning a vacation and I wanted the house painted in the next 5 days. Marco came in and let me know it could be done in 4 days before I left. Requested 50% deposit in cash, and did send an email confirmation with his estimate that it was received. , he did not show up as committed the day after, but came in the next day with a friend for 2 hrs of work, then the day after he came to pick up the bucket of primer he used and said he'd be back. He missed the first deadline when we left on holiday. On our return, I got in touch with him and have several texts from him saying he'd be here, only not to show up. He has zero respect for his customer's time. I asked for a refund of my deposit or at least to get all supplies with receipt dropped off but he has gone AWOL. It has been 6 weeks since we gave him the deposit. Watch out for Marco - he is a smooth talker and knew how to con us enough to get $2000. I know his goal was to frustrate us till we gave up, but I will pursue this - everything that transpired has been documented.

I find it quite interesting that for a company that has been around, they only got positive reviews after I posted my experience. Please do your due diligence! No deposit or deposit only when he brings in material. Consumer Ontario is mediating on my behalf, but it's obvious he is content to keep my money :(

In response to Marco's comment on my making false claims: If all his other customers are happy, maybe for some reason he saw me as a target and decided to pick on me? Maybe it was because I refused to leave my house keys with him to do the paint job while I was away? Agree, it is his word against ours, but I have documented all his texts "egging me on" about making it to work on my place. Does he know how frustrating it is to get the household up and arrange our schedules around him, only to have him not show up on all 6 attempts he claimed he would? At the end of this all, what has kept him from returning my deposit, or in the least, providing me with supplies to partially cover the deposit? The only work done for my $2000 deposit was a 2 hour job priming baseboards & trim upstairs (excluding washrooms), for a home that is under 2000 sq ft.
