2 Bathroom renovations

When we met Dave for a quote to renovate two bathrooms we knew right away he was our guy. This was the first time we had ever done any sort of home renovation but Dave made it so simple and was so easy to work with. We stayed on budget and the job was completed within the quoted time frame. The work Dave and his team did was perfect and it was exactly what we were looking for. We will be using Brothers Too for any future home renovations and I will be recommending Dave and his team to all of my friends. If you were like us and did not know a thing about home renovations I would suggest giving Brothers Too a call, you won't regret it.

Calgary Legal Suite Development

Dave and I first met when he made the time to quote a large Redevelopment with the City of Calgary. With Significant City Permitting Delays he always made himself available to chat and was willing to coordinate the Renovations on a floating Start Date upon permit approval.

Throughout the development Dave and his Team of professionals were an absolute pleasure to deal with. Expenses and change orders were transparent & notified to us immediately.

His easy going attitude made visiting the project an enjoying time. Working out of town, I was able to heavily rely on Dave's management to keep schedule on track.

Dave was very accommodating on making slights adjustments as the project progressed. Him & his team Inputing their own professional advise on certain situations.

Project Budget was respected; an affordable option with a quality General Contractor. The Legalized Suite offers executives a Calming Modern Retreat. Very happy with the process and the teams overall Product!

Highly recommend Reaching out to Dave & his team at Brothers too Contracting!

The quality of the finished product

Basement & Deck

Brothers Too Contracting was great to use. Always professional and Dave was easy to deal with and we always had a good laugh when we talked about the job. Basement washroom and play room looked great when it was completed. The family loves going in the basement now. The deck is very strong, safe and bigger now. We really enjoy going on the deck for BBQ's and also having it done properly for our children was a big bonus as well. Thanks to Dave and the guys at Brothers Too. Highly recommend.

Restaurant Reno

I have been a part of a number of renos with Brothers Too. This one was a complete interior redecoration. It was a time crunch requiring all sorts of upgrades done in two days! Paint, custom art, a wall mural, new lighting, stone feature wall & fireplaces. Everything was set and ready to go and done on time within two days. I'm pretty sure the paint was still damp when the customers came in.

IKEA kitchen install

I was looking for a company to install my IKEA kitchen as well as fully renovate my kitchen. I found Brothers Too Contracting on Kijiji and was extremely impressed with Daves knowledge and proffessional attitude. From initial demo to cabinet installation, plumbing, electrical, granite & finishing Brothers did excellent work on time and on budget. I would highly recommend them for all you renovations needs and especially IKEA kitchen installation.

Handyman stuff

Had them over to fix a few small things. They did the jobs. The jobs were done well and the fee was reasonable. Have seen other work they have done and I would consider hiring them again.

Home renovation

I hired Dave Jackson of Brothers too Contracting for a renovation project which was supposed to be completed in 3 weeks. Over the course of 2 months he kept changing his word and failed to follow the contract.
He asked for more money every single time threatening to abandon if I did not pay him what he wanted which I did. For instance I had paid 20% upfront after he agreed I could hold back the same percentage till after completion. I had this in writing but he became verbally abusive saying he wanted more money or would walk away! I DID pay him what he wanted but still Walking away and abandoning the project is what he did 3 months ago (to make matters worse he left a huge unsightly pile of garbage on my front lawn)-- now after having various contractors look at his work and reluctantly quoting us for redoing some of the work done improperly, I am realizing there are many problems with the quality of what's been done and in addition to the remaining work, a lot needs to be redone.
There are many issues but to mention a few: simple things like floor registers do not fit.. the holes are not cut the right size! All closet doors are installed at an angle are rubbing against the frames. I've been told his funny looking under-the-sink plumbing will clog up in no time and be more costly to fix. He has vented the dryer and the hood fan together and every time we run the dryer the upper cabinets and the fan get very steamy! Also dryer lint is flammable which makes this is a serious safety/insurance issue as well.

His hardwood installation was really the worst of its kind with large gaps and hammer marks everywhere. He can blame it on the wood quality all he wants but I'm so glad I did not put more money into it as the poor installation would've damaged it in the end.

The basement was renovated taking the prospective rental income into account. It was meant to be a mortgage helper but we have not been able to rent it as there are still issues and the upper level is not yet functional either.

I understand projects run late if there are unexpected problems arising and I would not have mentioned it if he had shown some concern. All he said is that the countertops were late but I was forced to postpone measurements twice as it took him a whole month to install the cabinets and you can't order the countertops without the cabinets!

He seemed like a friendly guy and kept saying we should trust him as he'd take care of everything. I let him into my home and treated him like a friend with nothing but respect even after his unjustifiable outbursts. He had the key to my house and we had no privacy as he and his workers could walk in anytime, there were many days he or his workers did not show up at all and I never questioned him or treated him the way he treated us. I paid him what he wanted whenever he wanted it. In return he was explosive, verbally abusive, and showed no respect to us nor his written contract.

To say that I am upset by the rudeness and unprofessional attitude of the person running this business would be an understatement. I am currently in a jam as many contractors are reluctant to undertake this project and I don't have that kind of money to pay for something twice! He is refusing to complete the work or refund the amount required to complete the project.

Approximate cost of services:
$50,000.00
What could this company do to improve their services?
Follow the terms of the contract professionally. COMPLETE the work. Treat paying clients like he himself expects to be treated. Do not be greedy and blowup over money matters when a client is paying more than had been agreed upon, there's just so much abuse and stress a person can take.
Any advice to offer fellow homeowners facing a similar project?
Be very careful. Watch for early signs!
