Diamond H Contracting

I was looking for someone to install Luxury Vinyl Plank throughout our main floor and upstairs hallways and bathrooms. I came to Home Stars to look for a general contractor, and I’m glad I did.

Chris with Diamond H Contracting did not disappoint. From the time he came over to take a look and give a fair quote, to the time it was all done, Chris showed absolute professionalism and his attention to detail was impeccable.

What I appreciate about Chris was his honest, transparency and dedication to get the job done right the first time. When we did our final walk through he ensured he left with me being completely satisfied with his work.

We have found our new go to contractor. Chris, thank you for the excellent work and for making our house complete. We look forward to different renovations in the future with you.

All the best.

Chris did a fantastic job with the fence and patio. He was very meticulous about his work and ensured that everything was done the way we wanted. When doing our patio the grade wasn’t quite right so he dug out the work he did to start again. Chris does not cut corners and the end result shows his pride of craftsmanship. We would definitely hire him again!

***UPDATE*** Well, the tub/plumbing leaked. We have reached out to Chris for a response.

Simple bathroom renovation involving removing/replacing tub, tiling alcove surround and retiling floor. Originally requested subfloor replacement as well.
They opted not to replace the subfloor indicating it was in good shape and didn’t need work.
Selected and elongated hexagonal ceramic tile for the wall and tiled plank for the floor. Two niches for the bath/shower wall. They suggested a sliding barn door as the replacement tub was wider than original and there was less space for a traditional door. We agreed.
They selected schluter system materials for backboard and pre-fab niches and floor pad under tile. Some plumbing work was required as well.
The job was projected to take a few days but instead took several weeks.
Pros: Chris is a nice guy. Easy to talk to. Definitely wanted to get the job done in a timely manner despite being unable to deliver. Selected quality materials. Built a solid wood barn door according to our specifications. Selected some nice value add products such as a customizable floor vent.
Cons: Tile installation was a challenge. Some tiles were cut crooked and needed to be replaced. The backing was applied unevenly resulting in an uneven tiled wall surface. Additional time and attention would have been good to ensure quality install particular as the geometric nature of the tile was the primary feature. The floor squeaks along the edge of the tub, likely resulting from the shaving down of the subfloor in order to fit the tub. The tub itself also squeaks badly. Further investigation will be required to ensure it is sitting properly as it is primarily one end (drain end) that squeaks. The potential for future leaks/damage and floor/grout cracks exists as a result. The sliding barn door was poorly installed resulting in sliding. It was also hung too low meaning it can be lifted off its rail which is a safety hazard and will need to be re-fitted. As the hardware is drilled through the wood, this will be a challenge to reset. We had requested the barn door on the condition that a lock could be installed. Unfortunately, when the time came to install the lock, we were told he couldn’t do it. We now have to hire somebody else to finish the job. Finally we can also now clearly see that grout and/or tile cutting water was spilled all over the driveway which is an exposed aggregate. This has left a white staining which cannot be rinsed off. We are unsure how to go about removing this from the driveway and reached out to him but have not received a response.
To be fair, we did bring some of these things up and they discounted from the cost. Unfortunately the squeaky tub and driveway stain and unsafe sliding door were not noticed until after we had already paid. For these reasons I am rating a 3/5 but cannot in good conscience ever recommend them based on this experience.
Ultimately, when you pay for a job, you expect it to be completed, and to be better than what you could do yourself. We didn’t get that. Hopefully the next guy will be able to correct and complete this job.

Diamond H Contracting did a great job of replacing my rotten wood fence with beautiful vinyl fence. The courtyard area on my acreage looks amazing and will for years to come with no maintenance!! Chris did a great job customizing it to my needs and it turned out perfect.

Chris and his team were absolutely amazing from start to finish. I was extremely impressed with how quickly they got back to me after my first inquiry. I had a quote in my inbox within 24 hours and the work started right after I made the decision to hire them. Chris and team were prompt, professional, communicative and reliable throughout the entire process and the end product exceeded my expectations! Thanks guys, I will definitely be hiring you for more projects in the near and distant future!
