    The owner of this business is a phony guy who probably knows nothing or very little about construction. This guy would waste your time, would hire hacks (unqualified tradesmen) to do his work and would fail almost all of the inspections. I contracted him to renovate my basement and it took him 7 months (November 2022 to May 2023) to complete my basement (for context, most contractors complete basement renovations in 8-12 weeks and the size of my basement was less than 700sqft). He refused to provide me with a contract that would clearly state the timeline for the project and I should have realised at this point that he was phony and had ulterior motives. He couldnt even provide me with a proposed layout drawing of the basement. Then the painful process of construction began. There were many weeks when no tradesman would show up on my site yet I made it clear to him that I needed the work to be completed as soon as possible. When he eventually did call for inspection a lot of the work he did failed inspections by the City. My home failed a lot of inspections because this guy does not understand many of the building requirements/code. For example: The mechanical room was required to be smoke sealed, but he left a lot of gaping holes around the mechanical room. He used insulation (as a smoke seal) to cover up penetrations in the ceiling of the mechanical room. All of this led to multiple failed inspections and I had to hire someone at additional cost to come fix the issues. By the way he abandoned my project after the failed inspections and went on vacation for over two weeks and told me if I couldn't wait for him to return from vacation then I should get someone else to fix the issues and pay extra for that. I hired many different contractors to come fix all of the mess he created in my home. Worst thing was that I paid him 100% of his invoice There are many contractors/builders out there who would deliver much better quality and services and at a lesser price.
