An assisted review is collected by a contractor on behalf of the homeowner after their work is completed. The homeowner must confirm the text of the review and may make any changes she or he deems appropriate. The homeowner then assigns the contractor a review score out of 10.

We are Laird and Melanie and we were looking for a full service design and build residential renovation company that could take on the renovations we had in mind. Our main priority was to renovate our kitchen; we also wanted to remove the main floor of our laundry room and place it in the basement so the dining room would become open to the kitchen. In addition, we also wanted to install new hardwood flooring throughout our den and upgrade our powder room. Having no records of previous renovations with the Ottawa General Contractors, OGC, we decided to give them a try. We stumbled across them at the Ottawa Spring 2015 home show. The experience was good as a whole as our project manager, Brad, was excellent in terms of being professional and providing good advice on the site. The goal was to have the space, layout and design finished up for Thanksgiving and the objectives were met. We are in love with the new kitchen and spaces. Our favourite part of the renovation process comprised of choosing the styles and features for our kitchen along with the backsplash, paint and counter top selections with their designers and material selections coordinators. The main highlight was having a finished and functioning kitchen. Like most renovations there were some obstacles that we came across but OGC dealt with them in a timely and professional manner. Brad was quick on finding solutions towards the problems we faced and he repaired the floor and fixed the back-up drain issue without any charges to us. We were very appreciative of this gesture. The traits that we liked most about Ottawa General Contractors were members of their team and their prices. We found their contractors, designers, project consultants, and project managers very professional. OGC’s prices for their products and services were of the highest of quality and best bang for our dollar compared to some of the other companies we researched. In the future, we would definitely choose Ottawa General Contractors to do another renovation project with us, we were happy with the work they did and the overall experience we had.
