Trevor and his team--especially Chris, the foreman--were professional, reliable, and a pleasure to work with. The work was done on time, at a fair price, and the quality exceeded our expectations. The staircase looks fantastic and was installed with great care and attention to detail. What really stood out was how smooth and stress-free the whole process was. Communication was clear, the site was well managed, and it was obvious the team takes real pride in their work. I couldn't recommend Trevor, Chris, and the GVT team highly enough. Thanks again for a great experience and a beautiful result. -- Rhonda

Be warned if you are considering GVT Contracting /Trevor for your project…read more Last fall, I contacted Trevor for a deck renovating job. I made it clear, when we first met and then in emails later, that the job had to be done before the grapes over the upper structure of the deck starting to grow again in spring, because the vines had to be lowered to the ground to be out of the way, which could be done only when the plant was dormant. Trevor promised that was no problem, and that as soon as I paid a 35% deposit, he would give me a starting date. I paid the deposit Nov.4 last year, but, up till early May, I never got a definite starting date! I did get a few tentative ones, first, mid-March, then, end of March, early April, and end of April. the problem was he never honoured his words, never showed up on those dates. At the end of April, as the window of time for the job was closing, I warned him I would have to cancel the project, if he could not start the work in two weeks. He replied, " we will be there in two weeks, for sure." Nothing happened in the following two weeks. Now six months after he took my deposit, he failed even just to give me a genuine starting date, and the new grape shoots were already almost two feet long, I had no choice but to cancel the job. That was, unfortunately, not the end of my disappointment and frustration. When I cancelled the job, Trevor told me the deposit was non-refundable. After I reasoned with him, he asked for a 30-day timeline to pay it back, which I readily granted. When I contacted him after 30 days, he would say something like 'next week", " when I am back in town", " will let accounting know", or some other excuses. Lately, he simply would not answer my calls or emails. I can not believe any person with any sense of integrity and respect for his livelihood can be so misleading, unreliable, and unaccountable I am going to use all available legal means to get my deposit back. I hope what I have been going through will be a warning to the company's future potential clients.

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.
