I would highly recommend the services of Billy Gray from Ace Projects Contracting. He did an…read moreexcellent job of painting our whole condo of approx. 1,000 sq. feet in New Westminster. It was a very challenging job, as it was tenant occupied, full of furniture and misc. stuff everywhere. The tenant only gave us access to the condo for 2 days, with 7 hours per day to paint, and had to clean up after each day. Billy and his team of 2 painters were very careful to move the furniture away from the walls and cover it while painting. The windowsills had previously been covered in mold with paint peeling off, so Billy's team filled the uneven surfaces and re-caulked against the windows. They also sanded down the hundreds of holes in the walls that I had filled. Previously there had been grease dripping off the kitchen walls, which we tried to clean prior to painting. Thankfully Billy was able to cover the kitchen walls with a nice clean coat of paint. He didn't hesitate when I requested that he use an expensive paint from Benjamin Moore. Prior to starting the job, I had emailed Billy with various questions and a long list of tasks to ensure that we were on the same page. Billy always answered me very quickly, even if it was late at night. He was very respectful and professional at all times. Prior to the paint job, we had our condo listed for sale, for 4 months. After Billy's paint job of the entire condo, it looked bright and fresh again. We received a good offer, a few weeks later. I would gladly hire Billy Gray again for any future project work.

He sealed all the cracks, vent pipes, reinforced any loose gutter & then clean the roof & gutters. The estimate quote was shocking, but he explained since we had not cleaned the roof in 30 yrs, there was an excessive moss build up. After 4 days (at least 7 hrs/day), our roof looks like brand new! He was efficient in cleaning everything. We highly recommend Jason for any roof or gutter cleaning. Jason also said our future gutter cleaning would be a fraction of the cost.

We Hired Simar and Save More roofing to put a new roof on our reno in North Vancouver. The roof was…read morecompleted in May 2017. We had a leak almost immediately. We have been trying to contact Simar for over two months and he refuses to answer or return our calls. Since then we have had an envelope inspector do a report on the roof. He found that the workmanship was very poor, and that standard roofing practices had not been followed, causing major issues with the roof. We have a very long list of all the mistakes that were made. We have had several reputable roofing companies look at the roof, and they all believe that it should be replaced entirely. This will be more expensive than starting with a new roof as the old roof will need to be removed. This repair has majorly delayed the rest of the renovation. It has also added costs in terms of drywalling, general delay and also extended rental at our current home. Additionally, due to a bank error, Simar was overpaid $3200, which he acknowledged and promised to return to us. It is many months later and he has not returned the money, nor has he contacted us. We have a signed contract offering a five year warranty. Dealing with Simar and Save More Roofing has not only been very stressful, but in the end it will have cost us additional tens of thousands. We have been nothing but polite and have tried to resolve this peacefully, but there is no response form Simar.

Is it possible to find a 5-star contractor? Well, I honestly thought that the answer was NO until I…read moremet Steve. I am a picky person with background in Architecture and Design. A lazy rushed contractor doesn't work for me. After so many frustrations and searches for the perfect contractor, I randomly found Steve. Basically when I searched for a contractor to renovate my two nasty bathrooms and fix all the leaking problems that had happened for the past 18 years, I came up with a short list of contractors. I had met a few of them, but when I met Steve for a quick chat, I felt that was the guy! He seemed to be so proactive, technical, intelligent and clever. He was the person I wanted: I guy with good eyes for great finishing, respecting what the client wants and, the main thing, focusing on solving real problems and not just talking about pretty light fixtures. And I gladly hired him right away! My 2 bathrooms look so perfect! All the small details where carefully done and in the way I wanted. Always sharing the possible problems and solutions. Steve not only fixed all the plumbing, electrical and structural problems, but upgraded everything for high end quality service and products. And more... he did not only beautifully renovate our bathroom, but figured out problems in my building that existed for at least the last 10 years! Steve became popular among my neighbors and everybody loved his presence in the building. Not only because he is a such a good professional guy that helped the neighbors, but because he was nice, pleasant and honest person that everybody was glad to see around. Yes, that's Steve. Some even said Steve felt like part of the family! He is also a very clean contractor. The reno happened while we were living in the condo. As he understands well how physics works, he knew exactly what to do to not spread dust to the rest of the areas like living room and bedrooms. Yup. Sounds impossible, but that happened. When he was producing dust, he always vacuumed everything at the end of the day. Steve had free access to my condo for several months and I fully trusted in him. He respected the time to come to our place and leave. Finally, the reno took longer than I thought, but at the end of the day, it is totally understandable when he works by himself always making sure that he is doing his best and also making sure I was happy with his work. I'd would rather going through a long reno with someone that I fully trust than 10 strangers doing whatever work to finish everything in a month, so 10 years later you would have to deal with problems. That is not an option for me at all. Not even if I was going to sell my place right after. I wish everybody thought the same way, but, I know, if they did, it would be hard to find a second Steve in this city. :) That's all. Steve, thanks for everything!
