He told me that he would come look at a certain time and he was there. We looked at what I required and he gave me a price which I thought was reasonable and he said he would be here today, Thursday, Oct. 23, and he was. He came fully prepared and completed the job within the early afternoon and I could not be happier. There was a leak stain, the leak had been rectified years ago so no more staining and a crack in the ceiling. He repaired the crack, primed over the stains. Protected everything and I could not be more thrilled with the result. I would gladly recommend Nick and his company, Plain & Simple anytime.

I would highly recommend these guys to anyone, especially if you are the type to say yes to overpriced pushers.

After considering various alternatives, we chose Vancouver General Contractors to turn our dark and…read moredated open concept first floor into a light, bright, modern open plan living masterpiece! It is simply splendid. From our first meeting with Shwan, the Project Consultant, when we discussed our vision, to the end of the project, we were part of all the decisions on everything that needed to be done. We were consulted extensively by Rose, Hoda and the Head Designer Zaineb. They listened and delivered. It was a big project with new floors, cabinets, huge pantry, fireplace, powder room, live wall, new doors and so many other details. The Head Designer, who we absolutely love, Zaineb Al-Saffar was on top of everything -- a great asset to have when we needed any communication with any concerns or questions. She worked very closely with both of us and with her Chief Contractor Mo; Mo was in charge of overseeing the whole project. Mo is great, knows his job, and is quite a perfectionist. A pleasure to work with. Central to the team, Ash and Sarah were absolutely perfect. Renovating our place like no others and recommending solutions to our concerns. The kitchen cabinets and the sitting benches by the window are splendid! Madan Mohan , from Danma Cabinets here in the lower mainland, designed and installed the kitchen and dining room. Excellent workmanship and professionalism. He responded with respect and agreement when we needed to have features corrected. He stands behind his product and workmanship!, The quality of product and workmanship by Canadian Countertops is undeniable; both the kitchen counters, backsplash and fireplace surrounding are perfect. Because of Covid-19, the live wall has not yet been delivered and installed, but this will be done as soon as health restrictions are lifted. Overall, Vancouver General Contractors has delivered well beyond our expectations and we marvel every day at how our home has been transformed. The team was professional, hardworking and produced a high standard of work. Also, I cannot sing high enough praises of Zaineb and Mo, who helped us through the whole process. We highly recommend Vancouver General Contractors!! In fact, we have hired them again to renovate our old bathroom upstairs... the design and material are state of art and it is going to be gorgeous!

We impulsively hired VGC for our kitchen renovation because I was naive. I believe they do charge a…read morelot of hidden costs and push these "change order" fees that is ridiculous. They gave us a budget for certain items like say our sink... and because I wanted to choose a more expensive sink than their predicted cost, they were going to charge us a change order fee. It makes no sense, if I want to spend a few hundred dollars more on my sink why do they reap financial benefit from it when they gave us a lowball amount to spend in the first place. We were also plagued with mismanagement of our project. The project manager, Ali, they assigned to us was inexperienced and made several errors that delayed our project. He was definitely hired based on nepotism as he was the best friend of the manager, Hussain. The PM was fairly clueless, luckily my husband is a carpenter and he really had to micromanage many aspects of the project. This is a shame since we thought we were hiring VGC to take the stress of managing the projects ourselves. Then Ali left us halfway through project for personal reason. We did get a better PM, Mo after but he had to deal with the aftermath of the first guy plus the first contractor, Hamid decided to leave our project midway due to a dispute with how the company mismanaged payment to him. I was then harassed for weeks by Hamid to pay him or else he'd put a lien on our home. Meanwhile, the manager Hussain did not check in once to clarify or reassure us that we did not owe the contractor anything outstanding as we made payment on time to VGC. Then Hamid further disclosed that VGC definitely overcharge their clients and he said our project should not have taken as long as it did to complete, which left a very negative feeling for us. I felt anxious throughout thinking Hamid was going to show up and threaten my family and I have small children at home, it was not a good feeling. There was also design flaws where calculations were flawed and it required my husband to step in and alter the design and measurements. All in all the project was a disaster for us and we do feel overcharged. I do not recommend them. They were not professional and the trades they hire are also not professional. Don't be persuaded by the smooth salesman pitch from the manager, it's all smoke and mirrors because when things went wrong they definitely didn't care about their customer.

ProStar has been working VERY HARD on the exterior of our strata high-rise building for 5+ months,…read morefinishing yesterday. They did an amazing job under challenging conditions addressing exterior concrete repairs, replacing sealants, fixing leaks, treating rusty rebar, repairing and replacing flashing, power washing, painting and much more. The crew were always polite, cheerful and fastidious even while doing work 10+ stories up on narrow ledges in the hot sun; and rainy weather just meant they adjusted course a little and worked on what was needed in covered areas and then they went back to the exposed areas when the sun was shining. We can't imagine a more difficult job as they hung from ropes lowering paint cans, ladders, slabs of granite and much more. We are very grateful for their tremendous efforts.

Erika and Brahim have just finished a Spring Cleaning of my one-bedroom apartment and I can't stop smiling. It looks amazing!! Their "to do" list had so much more than I would have thought to have cleaned. Their attention to detail and to what had to be done was impressive. They worked without direction and were quick to adapt in specific areas if I asked. I work from home and they worked quietly and with little or no direction. The products they use are gentle and nicely scented (if at all). I appreciate them and the work they do and they appreciate my business -it's a win/win. My quality of life improves when they visit and I always look forward to their return. Diane S Fairview Area
