August 30, 2021 we met with Reg the owner of Eakins construction. He told us he would come in and complete our house renovations in 10 weeks. He came into our house apart and left. My wife and I and our 4 kids were forced to live 4 months with the only functional toilet located in a room with no walls or door, no sink or shower, no flooring (just exposed subfloor with nails sticking out of it and holes in the floor) and live exposed electrical wires dangling and hanging from multiple places and couldnt get him to come in and finish the work. It is now May 14 2022 and the work isnt close to complete and I still cant get a hold of him. What weve received so far is: an unfinished kitchen with no proper sink, hood fan or cabinet, no ceiling or lights in the basement, a brand new shower that leaks water everywhere, two floods during the renovations, unstable electrical where we lost half our power and full heat when temperatures were below 0°C and were told it could happen again at any point in time, lost our doggy door, lost our ceiling fans, scratched floors and damaged walls / ceilings, endless messes we had to clean up, and the list goes on and on. In order to make progress in the renovations, we put up the walls, installed the vinyl and tile flooring, did most of the demolition, painted, and pretty much everything so that our kids wouldnt have to live in this environment anymore. Reg keeps telling us he is coming but never shows up when we can get a hold of him. The stuff we have asked for he has said he cant get it and put in things he has picked out instead of us being able to pick things like tile, placement of lights, doors, the layout of the reno etc. He hasnt done anything we have asked and agreed on when we signed the contract. We still havent even got drawings we were promised at the beginning. We have had 2 house floods from the work he has done. He said he would fix the damages and he hasnt. We had to staying in our house with no power over night after they came in and worked on electrical with no furnace do to losing half the power to our house and he said he would call some one the next day to figure it out. This was also during a snow storm. I just want our house back and be able to move on.

Thank you for taking the time to write a review. We have tried to work with you through constant changes, problems from previous work done by others. We had entered a cost plus contact in which you never sign and we did in good faith to help you through what you had started with others. through out the process you have decided on what and where you wanted us to go, but now don't want to fill out credit app to confirm the final amount would be able to be paid. As stated that you may not be ale to do. So we have asked to sign a contract and apply for financing with your flat out refusal, we are o unsure if the amount would be able to be paid as we were just trying to do the final work at straight cost with no mark up. From then unfortunately we had to make the decision to terminate the cost plus contact. We wish you all best in the future.
