Contract signed a few days later stipulating that work would begin before the end of August. Job not started until mid September and still not completed by end of October, 6 weeks later. After contract signed and before work started the project manager said that the job would never be completed in two weeks, however she told me twice that once started her crews would not be pulled off to do other work. There were periods from 3 to 8 days when nobody appeared on site. 25 feet of corner foundation was open to the world and left exposed for a week with some plastic sheets blowing in the wind. Crews did not know from one day to the next if they were returning to my home to continue work. My calls to the front office were received with comments about how crews can't work in the rain ! Retaining walls were not removed but buried just beneath the surface; I stopped one crew from using a Sawzall to cut buried plywood only inches from an underground natural gas line. In frustration I terminated the contract and hired two independents to finish the job. Consequently other contractor schedules were thrown off and ultimately unable to finish work before the winter set in. During the final conversation with the general manager he only said that he would take my complaint as "constructive criticism" never once apologizing for the inconvenience. If you do hire this company to work on your home expect to have them demand a cheque from you every few days for each small step of work they complete. At one point I had an email requesting payment for work no yet completed. I do not recommend this company.

I initially choose Profiek stucco over several other competitor companies based on their…read moreprofessional and caring demeanor. Indeed, Mazen gave me a very fair quote and took the time to carefully explain exactly what they would do for the job. The competitor companies were lacking in this regard and quiet honestly, I thought they would not give the job the proper detail required. Profitek has even exceeded my expectations, with a simply outstanding finished product! The house has been completely transformed with the stucco addition. The color, finish and quality of the stucco job is outstanding! This has greatly increased our curb appeal and enhanced the overall house value dramatically. The detailed multi-layered approach of the Profitek team is the best I have ever seen. The added underlying insulation below the stucco now has even gotten rid of drafts in the house and will undoubtedly, save on heating and air conditioning. Mazen and his team also found some rotting wood under the old vinyl siding and completely replaced this and sealed windows to save our back room from decay! In short, Profitek is a very reliable, extremely competent company that will give you incredible value for your dollar. I felt comfortable and trusted them 100% during the entire renovation project. The quality of their work is unparallel and I most strongly recommend Profitek for any stucco related job! Dr. Shawn Hayley

Last summer, my wife and I hired Mazen and his team to apply EIFS cladding to our house. EIFS…read moreinstallation involves several stages and the work took nearly three weeks. Mazen, for whom pretty much nothing is undoable or unsolvable, led a cheerful, energetic crew (they actually sing while they work!) who put in long hours during very hot days. The end result far exceeded our expectations. We were particularly impressed by some unplanned nice touches: covering an unsightly split concrete windowsill and a cracked concrete piece at the base of the door to the deck, for instance, and forming a couple of circumscribing groves in the chimney cladding for improved aesthetics. When I asked Mazen, a year later, if he could patch up a recessed wall area where a utility box used to be, he came that same day, and then returned a few days later for the finishing coat, graciously declining payment. All told, when it comes to EIFS/stucco projects, I recommend Mazen and his team without reservation.

They are very friendly and courteous gentlemen. I am very excited to see the house after the full renovation is complete. The workmanship is excellent and they are quick for the job to be complete.

As you never know what is behind a wall when you purchase. This house will never be the same and I am very honoured to have Dwood construction making this happen.

We turned down $5000 in credits to be able to do this review. They are very expensive to hire, however their contractors seem to be the cheapest they can find. I held off posting this review (now 10 months) hoping OGC would return to finish the work they failed to complete last summer and agreed to do in the spring... Good thing I didn't hold my breath. Our experience with OGC was terrible after sales. They didn't complete work / deliverables, the Project Manager (PM) they assigned to our project had no clue what we wanted or any desire to learn it, did not supervise the work, and mostly gaslight and argued with us about pretty much everything. His superiors continued the gaslighting and arguing, all while promising the credits for our dissatisfactory experience (you only find out about the NDA at the end). Their Sales department was excellent. Professional looking offices. Professional looking brochures. However the second the contract was signed was the last time the company gave us the impression they cared at all. Before this turns into a novel, simply this: save yourselves the stress and headaches, don't hire this company. The reviews are very misleading (see REDDIT).
