I have worked with many contractors and companies on renovation and home improvement projects -…read moresome good, some great. I place Kevin, the owner, and his Deckify team at the very top of the list - they are fantastic. We hired Deckify to build a relatively complex 800 square foot deck around our new pool, and every step of the project went well, from the first phone call to Deckify to the follow-ups after the completion of the project. When we first reached out to discuss the project in March 2023, there was still a lot of snow on the ground.  While many companies told us to call back in the spring, Kevin came out to see us that very weekend.  He shoveled snow around our house and the old deck to make room to take measurements, spent a lot of time discussing the project with us, and immediately started designing the deck on his laptop to give us a sense of  options and prices.  We had a follow-up meeting a week later and, with Kevin's advice and guidance, found ways to adjust the design to meet our budget.  He then created a detailed project plan and work began as soon as the weather permitted.  The Deckify team and suppliers that they work with were all excellent - thank you to Danny, Franz, Evan, and everyone else involved.  The project took several weeks to complete, and communication was very good throughout.  We had to make a few adjustments along the way, and Kevin was very helpful and responsive in answering my many questions, always provided expert advice, and was very accommodating to make the required changes. The end result was excellent - a beautiful deck, built on time, on budget, and the entire process exceeded our expectations.  Overall very professional, friendly, flexible, responsive, competitively priced and all around terrific. I highly recommend Deckify.

I was told a 5 week timeframe and started calling the company after 6 weeks of hearing absolutely nothing. For the next 4 weeks, i was told that my fence would be built the "next week." 12 weeks after my initial quote, my fence was built. The subcontractors told me that they were told to just come and start my fence to essentially shut me up. They dug holes on the thursday, promised to finish the job on friday, but never showed. Saturday, they came back and started again - they told me that they were called by the owner on friday and told to go to another job. They were also told to leave my job on the saturday as well. to go to another job. They finished on the sunday. (my job was a small side and back fence wall). At 7:25 monday morning there was a knock on my door wanting the cheque. I found this quite ironic given the whole ordeal. I like to support smaller businesses, but honestly, the only reason i went with this company was the timeframe they promised. In the end, i should have chosen a larger company that gave me quotes, as they still would have beat Empire's actual timeframe - not the timeframe they promise to get your business. Next summer i will be building a deck - this company will not be on the list of those i call requesting quotes. (also - be careful of the subcontractors - they tried to hide the dirt from the holes they dig...in my case, parking lots and city land by my property. When i questioned them on this, they just said "oh sorry." Other companies remove the debris and dirt.)

Terrible service. The installer wasn't interested in doing his work, and spent 40 minutes on his…read morecell phone instead of installing the new blinds. He didn't clean up after the installation, and left shards of metal (from drilling screws into the window panes) all over the window sills and floors. The pull chains on the blinds are too short to be used without a step ladder, and when I pointed this out to the installer, he just laughed. Called the company to come back to install longer pull chains, and there has been no response. Do not recommend.

Earlier this year, we engaged Argue Construction for their predevelopment services for a project we…read morehad intended for Stittsville Main Street. As we were new to the development industry, we needed help with every aspect of the job. Shawn Argue and his team were there for us every step of the way; They were more than helpful, extremely knowledgeable, and easy to communicate with. But above all else, what we appreciated most was that we felt they had our best interests at heart. We worked with other developers before Shawn, and none were as careful with budgeting or forthcoming with the challenges due to inflation. It was clear that his goal was for us to succeed! We highly recommend Shawn and his team, and we hope to have the chance to work with Argue construction again.
