I had the very best experience of any large remodel job that I have ever done!! That being said,…read morethis job was done with my being in the US and it took place partly during the COVID crisis!! I can not say enough about the work and the great attention to detail on every level. The personal service included working with neighbors and troubleshooting pre-existing issues with work not done by them!! I hope to work with them again and would highly recommend them. Truly reduced the stress of a large remodel and I have the utmost respect for the team and the great communication that never wavered. Now that the job is over, I actually miss working with such a great team. Thank you for a really great experience and thank you for making such a difference to the beautifully remodeled home!!!

They completed a complete Reno to our 1906 home with new foundation and a two bedroom suite. Everyone was professional and very tidy. Our new gourmet kitchen is breathtaking!

Phil the Handyman out of Victoria BC has a lot of glowing testimonials on his website, but we were…read moremost unhappy with his work. Phil was hired to do several jobs in our house, which he promised would be completed in a specific amount of time. The trouble was, Phil was hardly ever on site, and months of sporadic activity passed with the project less than 50% complete. We kept voicing concern to Phil about the lack of progress, and he kept saying he was waiting for materials from suppliers. However, when we phoned these suppliers, we were told that almost all the materials were either readily available in town or could be delivered in less than a week. Had Phil's apparent lack of dedication to complete the project in a timely manner been the only negative element we might have gritted our teeth and continued with him, chalking it up to experience - but it was not! The work was hardly up to the level of professionalism that Phil advertises on his website. In fact we were mortified by much of the work done, which seemed to us to be shoddy, to say the least. Corners were definitely cut. And no one element of the project was completed before the next was started, which left our household in continual chaos. Eventually we parted ways with Phil the Handyman, forfeiting some of our deposit. We had to have others complete the unfinished portions of the job and re-do several of the elements Phil the Handyman had done. Now, more than a a year later, more elements of the work that Phil the Handyman actually did are failing! For example, the expensive faucet he installed just "exploded"; floor tiling has started to lift; caulking around the tub is no longer bonding, and water is now infiltrating underneath and creating a mold situation. There is an expression that "a little knowledge is a dangerous thing." In our opinion Phil the Handyman has but a little knowledge.

I hired Russ to redo my front yard. I am a senior on a fixed income with an artificial hip. I…read morepaid him 1/3 of the cost on signing a contract on April 25/16. He sent a man and woman on April 29th for 5 hours. They cut up the front lawn and left. On May 3rd Russ and a different young man came and worked for 6 hours, covering the "spine" he planned to build diagonally on the top for the garden, put down 2 pieces of landscape cloth and transplanted a rhodo, a Rose of Sharron and dug up and moved my trailing roses and another plant. They also brought enough bricks to do partly do 1 row of the front wall and he put down a base of cement, but it was neither straight nor level. He said he needed the 2nd payment, which I gave him so I am now out almost $2000.00! On May 5th Russ came alone for 3 1/2 hours and lay down a row of bricks on the crooked and uneven cement and cemented them down. On May 9th he came for a few minutes and I complained and said that I wanted it straight and level and finished along the side. The next day he came for 2 hours to supposedly straighten and level the cement but the wall remained both uneven and crooked. On May 16th he and the young man came back for 2 hours and put some dirt on the landscape cloth that I had had to cover in boards to keep from blowing away after I called to complain. I told him I wanted the wall level, straight and finished down the side as his plan showed. I never saw him again until May 31st when he and Shawn came back for 3 hours and put even more cement to actually cement down the crooked and uneven bricks. After many phone calls, he finally came back on June 19th with another man who he said was going to complete the job. That man, Dan, was to come the next day. A week later I called him and he said that Russ had not given him any money and so he had quit and would not finish anything. I have called and called. His inbox is full and his cell has been cut off. Dan gave me his other cell number, but he never answers. I have a mud hole in my front yard and am having to have another company come to give me estimates to get the work done. DO NOT HIRE THIS MAN!!! He owes me money but has many excuses and simply does not answer my calls.

When looking for a siding company, we were slightly suspicious of the unanimous 5-star reviews, but…read morehaving now experienced the professionalism, expertise, and efficiency of Victoria Pro Siding, we're leaving our own 5-star review. Mike and his team - Vlad, Ivan, and Alex - deserve every high mark for their attention to detail, work ethic, and craftsmanship. We cannot recommend them enough. We hired Victoria Pro Siding to replace the cedar shingles on our 1912 house with Hardie shingle. Maintaining the historic look of the house was important to us and Mike was willing and able to make that happen, going to lengths that other siding companies were hesitant about. He was very communicative and carefully planned how his team would implement our requests. His team members, Vlad, Ivan, and Alex, were fast, efficient, friendly, and diligent workers; we were impressed with their dedication to the project. Mike continued to consult with us for the duration of the job - providing updates, asking for input on aesthetic decisions, and alerting us to any structural issues found as the original siding was removed (he was also very accommodating, and worked around required repairs). His price was very competitive, but the quality of the work far exceeded our expectations. We highly recommend Victoria Pro Siding based on our experience and interactions with Mike's whole team.
