Kitchen and Basement

Ottawa General Contractors are honestly the ones to call. We have hired them twice now, our kitchen and our basement. We would recommend them to anyone thinking of renovating.
Last spring we had our kitchen done as it was completely outdated and very closed in. I was provided with a 3D version of the kitchen design of how they could open up the space and what they can do with it. My husband and I went to their design center, and sat down with one of the designers, Chantelle, who we easily connected with. We discussed what we wanted and within minutes she was showing us all these great samples and our different options. I was extremely pleased with their work and the end results as well. We actually got our basement finished with them recently. Completely new walls were put in, ceilings and floors, electrical, the works! The men were courteous both times, polite and worked really hard to build everything to my expectations, with really good work ethics as well! They respected my home and kept the site clean when they were here. We agreed on a budget and they stuck to it both times. I would recommend these guys to anyone. Thanks OGC!

Kitchen renovation

Hello, I'm Gregory and I hired Ottawa General Contractors 3 months ago to renovate my kitchen. Friendly, hard working and commited with a 5 year warranty. Overall, this company deserves a 10. Details below.

We bought our house 5 months ago and it's quite an old house. My wife and I are shopping around for a contractor and pick the top 5 we've found. I remember seeing Moe, the business owner of Ottawa general contractors, on the news so we got in contact with them. All the different contractor companies we met were friendly but the big thing that won us over was OGCs previous experience and their 5 year warranty was too big to pass up. So we went with OGC.

Chantelle, a designer there, worked with my wife on the design. They had in house samples, coffee and pictures to show her. The process was very well done and entertaining. We got a 3d design of our kitchen and it looked really cool. We made minor revisions, well my wife did anyways, and began the renovation.

So long story short, the renovators respected the time and they respected my home. They were on time and clean. Friendly, answered some questions.

1 thing that stood out for me was when there was that our kitchen was old and was powered by one outlet on 1 circuit. They filled us in on all our options and helped us pick the best one for our lifestyle and future. With how large our kitchen was going to be, another circuit is required. As a new home welcoming present, they gave it to us as part of the original contract. Thanks again for that guys :)

At the end of the day, these guys know what they're doing and will give you what you're looking for at a reasonable price. They're friendly, respectful and hardworking. I personally wouldn't go with any other contractor.

basement reno

Thank you so much for doing our basement, and thank you for finishing the minor fixes in a timely manner.

My Dad, and myself are really happy with the OttawaGeneral Contractor's service. As a company, you have excelled in your service. Ish made sure that everything that was't to our standard was taken care of right away.

We were very impressed with the professional service right from the beginning. Andrew listened to what we wanted in our basement, and made sure we were able to get everything we wanted within our budjet.

Michelle, did an amazing job with the slate tiles in the bathroom, it looks fantastic.

Jeff managed to put the backsplash on the granite countertop in the bathroom, where none of the other contractors could because of the faucet being very close to the wall. We thought we would have to throw the backsplash away, but he did his magic, and made the backsplash work

Blake did a fine job in the electrical work, and Cory did an amazing job in the framing- I wish i could show that off, but the drywall is covering it.:).

Overall, we are very impressed with the workmanship,and service with this company, and definately would recommend Ottawa General Contractors to everyone.

My dad said that if any of your clients are unsure and need a reference, they are most welcomed to call us,and we dont mind showing off our basement to anyone who may be unsure of the workmanshipof Ottawa General Contractors..

Yesterday,Brad, took care all the minor fixes that were an eyesore for me, and I am sure some of it may have been minor in hindsight (that only I would notice the imperfections), but because it was important to me, your company took care of it.

Many people have horror stories about renovations, but I can honestly say this story has a happy ending. :).

Our Dream Kitchen Renovation

Over the winter we renovated our kitchen with Ottawa General Contractors. This was the best decision of our lives. They had a team of people working for us. I always new what was going on, they gave me access to their files and I could see the progress reports. My on-site manager solved problems before I even knew they existed. My husband and I sat down with their designers and came up with a 3D image of our dream kitchen and when our renovation was complete, our kitchen and the 3D design looked identical!

Any advice to offer fellow homeowners facing a similar project?
Make sure that you go with a company that does Design & Build. A) You will know exactly what you are paying for B) There will be no surprises in the end C) There is one guy in charge, meaning an architect cant point the finger at the contractor and vice versa, when you use a Company that does both together, there is never any miscommunication. Ottawa General Contractors is the best for this!

Kitchen renovation

Ottawa General Contractors renovated my kitchen last year. They were great. They showed me many design options and pricing-on-a-budget tips too which helped me decide what I really wanted. I was really glad we hired them.

New Bathroom addition

Good
--------
1. Courteous and respectful.
2. Kept within their quote
3. Good quality control concept. Their quality inspector came on site to inspect work.

After lots of initial issues, teh company changed personnel who were on site and it made a difference. They have been responsive to defects in worksmanship and fixed the issues.

Company Response

Hi Nakul,

Thank you for your review. We always appreciate our customers taking the time to give us feed back. Since the time of your project, we have implemented new project management policies that help us stick to a timeline. We have also taken on much more stringent estimate and invoice reviews before they are shown to our clients.

That being said, we have always made every effort to make sure that we share full and complete information with all of our clients, as well as diligently endeavor to remain on our time line. Unfortunately, these mistakes sometimes happen in construction projects. Your project was definitely the exception and not the norm.

At Ottawa General Contractors we always strive to be a 10 out of 10. We would like to request that at this time you review your rating. If there is anything we can do to remediate the problem, please let us know.

Sincerely,
Ottawa General Contractors

Great Bathroom Renovation

In these days of getting scammed by contractors, Ottawa General Contractors are 100% dependable and trustworthy. That's my opinion, and I know many other people who share the same opion as I do. I had OGC re-do my bathroom and now I don't want to leave my bathtub when taking a relaxing soak at the end of the day, lol!
