AVOID KERR CONSTRUCTION AT ALL COSTS!! I used them a few years ago to do a reno on my downtown condo and it was the worst experience of my life. I've been a part of many construction projects, and this was the biggest disaster imaginable. A 3 month project was extended to about 7 or 8 months due to the incompetence of their project managers, and the unwillingness of the owner himself, Doug Kerr, to step in when needed and fix things. They had a project manager that was showing up to work intoxicated and even when informed of this they wouldn't assign someone else to complete the job. They had to tear things apart and redo them multiple times, and in the end still things were not done correctly. They hide behind their contracts, and instead of resolving things, they tie you up in court and try and shake you down. I don't want to waste too much time going into all the gory details, but just wanted to put a warning out there that you will be very unhappy (and poor) should you choose to hire them. There are several bad reviews and other similar stories on the web so do your research so that you are not their next victim.

Kerr Construction is an award winning company. This year we are not only finalists for Best Renovation in the nationals and B.C.but finalist in this year’s Customer Choice Awards with 3 other B.C. renovators. These were chosen by the customers/clients through independent third party research.
The project mentioned by Kelly was done in 2007. Sadly we did need to go to court to seek payment from Kelly and one of the terms of the mediation and court order was that Kelly was supposed to remove untrue things that he said about us on the internet. We have no intention of debating Kelly over the internet and unfortunately, there are some customers where nothing we do will make them happy.
