I am sharing my experience with GVT Contracting (Trevor & Sonja) so that other members of the…read morecommunity can make informed decisions. I hired this company for a residential deck project at my residence by the Tillicum Mall area. Unfortunately, the work performed on my property did not meet basic quality or professional standards. The materials and workmanship were noticeably below what was agreed upon, and several structural and finishing issues required additional corrective work. When I raised these concerns, the interactions that followed were unexpectedly hostile and confrontational. Their communication style felt aggressive, dismissive, and at times unsafe, which caused significant stress for my family. Based on my direct experience, I found the conduct of the owners to be unprofessional, argumentative, and difficult to deal with, and I personally would not feel comfortable hiring them again. I strongly recommend that anyone considering this company exercise caution, request detailed written documentation, verify all terms in advance, and ensure clear communication before any work begins. This review reflects my honest experience as a customer and is shared in good faith for community awareness.

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

We were very satisfied with all aspects of the work performed. Bader also adhered to the price quote/estimate that was given to us even though their were some substantial and unexpected issues that popped up during the job which we very much appreciated. Given that we had no previous business with CVR, we indicated to Bader that "trust" was important to us to move forward with him and his company. We established that trust very quickly. Bader was great with keeping us informed of issues throughout the project. The job was completed on time with quality workmanship and within the price quote terms. We would highly recommend CVR Construction for any building or reno requirements you may have. We will certainly use them again should the need arise. Thanks Again Bader!
