Really could not be happier for the price we were quoted on building a new story onto our home in Ottawa. We took some other competing bids that were all about 20k more, and their portfolios of work did not really look as impressive as what we saw from OGC. Even at a lower price, the work looks fant...
My husband and I bought a dilapidated Campeau bungalow in the fall of 2018, and we basically had to gut the main floor and start over. OGC were the friendliest company we met with, and their budget came in among the most reasonable of the 6 quotes that we got. We started working with the architect o...
I would like to share my experience with Ottawa General Contractors.I'm sure it will help others as well. I was going to do a finished basement with them and for more than a month i was trying to finalise everything on my side. Unfortunately I couldn't make it. Meanwhile they were working layout and...
Horrible customer support. Quality is really low and they are really expensive. Only one guy on a 40-50k job. Takes days if not weeks sometimes to get a hold of the person in charge. Stay away!
We had a great experience building our home addition with OGC. The design and construction planning part of the project was well organised. Construction started great and it seemed like the structure was constructed really fast. Towards the end it felt like things slowed down by a bit, but I am told...
We were extremely happy with the end result of our basement renovation. The customer service and price is what sold us on using Ottawa General Contractors for our renovation and they completely lived up to our expectations. We have had many complements on the creative ideas that helped us use all ...
The job is not finished yet but so far so good. Have really been impressed with Ken Beaubien who helped us get our minor variances and permit from the City. Very knowledgable in dealing with City and great with communication as well - always answers promptly and on time at meetings. Also very please...
We had a large project within our Condominium. OCG handled our project professionally from beginning to end. Our project manager Alan ensured that work was done properly and was always available for any questions or problems that came up. We would highly recommend OGC to anyone looking to do a lar...
I love how the OGC team was like a family, Nick, Jenny and Bryan were very helpful. Everyone worked together so smoothly to get the job done and did an amazing job at keeping my husband and I happy. So grateful for their assistance in completing our dream reno.
This company will only do good work if you pay them premium prices. For people on a budget you can expect delays and unfinished items repeatedly that they will say isn't in their scope of work.
Allegedly they also have a problem paying their subcontractors so expect payment up front for most of ...
I was very nervous proceeding with first time renovations. Ottawa General Contractors put me at ease walking me through every step of the process and assisting me with all of my needs. By far the best company to go with.
Pricing is fair but they have a lot of issues putting their suppliers together to get the job done. They spend more time monitoring the web for comments than managing their suppliers to ensure customer satisfaction. They take too many jobs at once.
We are thrilled with our brand new kitchen by OGC. We had our kitchen completely redesigned, 2 full bathrooms updated, and new paint and flooring throughout. The kitchen was originally built in the old-box style, so the living and dining More
I work with OGC on the back end as a supplier. We've worked together for a few years now, they're very easy to work with. Their Designers are professional and knowledgeable, they make payments on time, and they send a lot of business to our local shop. We love working with them, and hope to continue...
We are Steven and Helen and we were looking for a renovations company to tackle the renovations we had in mind. They consisted of the following: Install Maple hardwood on our main and second floor, redo the stairs, have a pass-through cut out in the wall between the eating area and the family room, ...
I heard about Ottawa General Contractors from my neighbor who hired them for a second storey addition. I enjoyed the whole process from design stage, construction, to completion. For the most part everything went smoothly. I loved working with the creative interior designer Sharri who I absolutely a...
I could not have asked for more professional work from this team. All construction deadlines were completed well within time limits that were communicated to me at the beginning of the project. This was a very large-scale renovation, and their predictability made it very easy to coordinate other wor...
We hired OGC for a bathroom renovation last month. Very professional staff and a pleasant experience from beginning to end. Special kudos to Allan, our project manager who ensured that the project was delivered on time and budget, Marie for her hard work and high quality finishing standards and Karl...
We Hired OGC To Do A Renovation In Our Office To Create An Events Space And A New Meeting Room. I really appreciated the design process. It provided me with direction and clarity on how my office renovation was going to come together. Everything was done accordingly to the project within the timefra...
I ve completed many renovations in the past OGC is definitely the top one on the list I recommend using. Pricing is fair and I had many people from their team working with me to ensure I was happy.
Had our entire main floor redone using OGC, initially given an 8 to10 week time line., beginning April 9, 2018 ....from start to finish it was a ltitle over 5...... could not be happier with the Team that was put on our project...from day one with the design team to completion Andrew, Paolo, Ken, M...
This co writes its own reviews. Been having issues with concrete, tiles and plumbing that I had to hire other companies to fix. They hire subcontractors and have no clue about larger project than building a wardrobe.
We have worked with OGC as a trade for many years, and it has always been a pleasant experience. Deirdre is professional, friendly and accommodating - it's clear she takes pride in fulfilling her clients plans!
We had hired omplete a powder room, built-in bedroom storage, and a full kitchen renovation. Total cost of the renovation including materials was approximately $70,000. Total time of renovations was approximately 3.5 months. As we have had experience with other contractors in the past, we are able...
As a trade partner electrician, my team and I have been working with Ottawa General Contractors for the past 4 years and have yet to see another contractor as professional, customer driven, and as keen on quality of workmanship. The entire staff of OGC are wonderful to work with. I mainly interact ...
Micheal Kline as a project manager deserves every star on this review, asks the write questions, prepared for what's to come, works well as a teamplayer. Any renos done with this manager is bound to get done above expectations.
I am so happy with my new reno. Small issues did come up but I was always in the loop and never felt like I was being taken advantage of. OGC addressed the issues within a timely manner and made sure I was happy in the end . Andrew from OGC is amazing. Thank you
I have recently hired OGC to design and build my large addition and custom detached garage project in Kanata. I would confidently recommend the team at OGC to take care of anyone's build from start to finish. Originally I had went through this process with a contractor who did not offer design, do...
I ve been working on infill home as investments for several years, and hired Ottawa General Contractors to handle the renovation of my most recent one. This is the best team I ve worked with yet. They understood the issues of infill homes very well. I didn t have to hold their hand or take constant ...
We have worked with Michael Kline, a project manager at OGC, for 6 years. He has always been on the contractor s side, and gone the extra mile for any concerns brought to him. He is efficient, timely, and a genuine member of the team that you can bring any new idea to. He has made an impact on our ...
I had many cheaper options available which we had used in the past causing nothing but disappointment. I was looking for a provider who could do a great job as it was a big project. The first contact with OGC gave us a feeling that we are going to get something awesome and now we are happy we made t...
It is not an easy decision to make when you are going to spend over $50,000 as that was a lot of money for me and I had to research a lot before going ahead with it. I am now glad I chose the right company who delivered more than what they promised for. I would highly recommend this company to the p...
Our in-law suite was built by Ottawa General Contractors. They accommodated my need for a very rapid build, but it s still as solid and comfortable as I could have hoped for. My mother and aunt who will be using it are very satisfied.
I had major home repairs that needed to be addressed and I had no idea where to start from... OGC guided me through the whole process and completed the work better than I imagined.
I needed help with a small project in my home and although OGC's services aren't exactly what I needed, Nick was very helpful in his communication, left me a voice message, texted me, and called me back at my availability. He gave me recommendations on where to find what I'm looking for instead whic...
I used a Kijiji contractor once and I will never use them again! I paid the contractors and they didn t even finish the work. On top of it the work wasn t done properly so we had to get it redone. Going with OGC gave me peace of mind and guaranteed the quality of the work. We are a bit needy and the...
I had some sink issues that needed a quick resolution, and Allan Orasuk delivered. He was responsive, professional, and courteous. He reassured me early that he'd have everything taken care of, and that's exactly what he did. Thanks for being there Allan, really appreciate it!!!
I approached this company to renovate my kitchen. I did not get a great impression from them because they flat out told me that they are not interested in doing any renovation for less than 20k. I got the impression that they were not interested in redoing my kitchen unless I was willing to complete...
We contacted several companies, and OGC was the first to get back to us and schedule an appointment. We came to the first meeting with a budget and our basic requirements, and no idea of exactly what we wanted and how it would all come together. Since the first meeting with Nick, we felt instantly a...
Unfortunately, we are still waiting for them to pay our invoices. It's frustrating that they are getting their money from a project, but they don't pay the subcontractor.
OGC did a reno on my parents property - they refinished two washrooms right down to the studs right to the finished product. They delivered on time and the work was very clean. I would definitely use them again.
We are a trade partner that believes in putting the Customer first and ensuring the job is done right and done right the first time. We have found that O.G.C and Michael Kline in particular have the same core values as we do. We look forward to being the first ones on site with Michael Kline at the ...
I would recommend this team for kitchen renovations based on the work they did for our home and the kitchenette they built for the infill home we recently completed in Ottawa. I gave very different instructions for both projects, but allowed them to handle most of the design beyond that. We got amaz...
We contracted OGC for rejuvenation of our condo complex of 102 units. which included the design services of Deirdre Crick. Deirdre's mastery of interior design and up-to-date product knowledge has given our building's common areas the refresh and style we were seeking --and she did it quickly withi...
I work at the Nepean branch of Royal Building Solutions, and I must say it is an absolute pleasure dealing with Deirdre Crick. She is kind, professional, efficient and friendly.
I've worked with OGC for the last 5 years as their cabinet supplier, and have worked with a few different departments. Deirdre and Karley from the Material Selection department are extremely organized and bring clients to me with developed ideas to work on for their kitchen, bathroom or custom millw...
Before getting in touch with OGC I had other companies do small projects but there was always something wrong at the end. After getting in touch with OGC and looking at the result of the project I had given them I was more than happy. Strongly recommend OGC for any kinds of renovations.
OGC completed my project on time but we did go over budget by about 3%, but this was mostly due to additional items we requested from them. We really enjoyed the process and although we have a few difficulties with the inspector, OGC did a great job standing up for us and ensuring our budget did not...
We have worked with OGC for years and value their expertise in the industry, particularly that of Michael Kline, one of their PMs who is always pleasant and easy to work with. Overall, it is consistently a positive experience to work the Ottawa General Contractors team.
The actual work that OGC did on my interior renovation was good and the finished product looks very nice overall, working with them was a good experience. I understand that renovations sometimes take longer than expected and our house is quite large but the end date we were told was the end of April
Great work done by their team. They were professional at all times and always informed me on what they were doing. I will definitely use them again if I need more work done.
My husband and I got many quotes before choosing Ottawa General Contractors. Our project has just been completed and we are totally in love with our new kitchen and basement bar!
Just moved into my new custom built home and I am absolutely in love with it. They are so professional about there work and made the whole construction experience wonderful. Thank you to an amazing team at OGC! Highly recommended over big builders in the industry.
We purchased a home in Ottawa a couple of months ago to be our future forever home. During the process we searched and interviewed a number of contractors prior to hiring OGC for design and build of our project. Initially we met with Nick who provided us with a thorough understanding of OGC's servic...
Allan and Deirdre have been fantastic throughout our entire renovation with them! Quick with a response to questions, lots of samples provided, and any issues we've had have been smoothed out and/or dealt with in short order.
They, along with their team, have been phenomenal and are helping us re...
OGC renovated some rentals properties for me and was on budget and on time! Thank you for the hard work and will continue to recommend them to all friends and family!
I will start with the bottom line of my thoughts on working with OGC, which is, if asked by a friend, I would recommend them. On the whole it was a positive experience, the bathroom they designed and built for us is tasteful and well-built and they were good to work with and very professional throug...
It has been 8 months since Ottawa General Contractors finished up the work on converting our very wet, damp Cold Storage space into a very dry and usable storage space. Both the inside and outside of the Cold Storage space and along the front of our house were sealed and insulated. It made an incred...
