It is simply splendid. From our first meeting with Shwan, the Project Consultant, when we discussed our vision, to the end of the project, we were part of all the decisions on everything that needed to be done. We were consulted extensively by Rose, Hoda and the Head Designer Zaineb. They listened and delivered. It was a big project with new floors, cabinets, huge pantry, fireplace, powder room, live wall, new doors and so many other details. The Head Designer, who we absolutely love, Zaineb Al-Saffar was on top of everything -- a great asset to have when we needed any communication with any concerns or questions. She worked very closely with both of us and with her Chief Contractor Mo; Mo was in charge of overseeing the whole project. Mo is great, knows his job, and is quite a perfectionist. A pleasure to work with. Central to the team, Ash and Sarah were absolutely perfect. Renovating our place like no others and recommending solutions to our concerns. The kitchen cabinets and the sitting benches by the window are splendid! Madan Mohan , from Danma Cabinets here in the lower mainland, designed and installed the kitchen and dining room. Excellent workmanship and professionalism. He responded with respect and agreement when we needed to have features corrected. He stands behind his product and workmanship!, The quality of product and workmanship by Canadian Countertops is undeniable; both the kitchen counters, backsplash and fireplace surrounding are perfect. Because of Covid-19, the live wall has not yet been delivered and installed, but this will be done as soon as health restrictions are lifted. Overall, Vancouver General Contractors has delivered well beyond our expectations and we marvel every day at how our home has been transformed. The team was professional, hardworking and produced a high standard of work. Also, I cannot sing high enough praises of Zaineb and Mo, who helped us through the whole process. We highly recommend Vancouver General Contractors!! In fact, we have hired them again to renovate our old bathroom upstairs... the design and material are state of art and it is going to be gorgeous!

We impulsively hired VGC for our kitchen renovation because I was naive. I believe they do charge a…read morelot of hidden costs and push these "change order" fees that is ridiculous. They gave us a budget for certain items like say our sink... and because I wanted to choose a more expensive sink than their predicted cost, they were going to charge us a change order fee. It makes no sense, if I want to spend a few hundred dollars more on my sink why do they reap financial benefit from it when they gave us a lowball amount to spend in the first place. We were also plagued with mismanagement of our project. The project manager, Ali, they assigned to us was inexperienced and made several errors that delayed our project. He was definitely hired based on nepotism as he was the best friend of the manager, Hussain. The PM was fairly clueless, luckily my husband is a carpenter and he really had to micromanage many aspects of the project. This is a shame since we thought we were hiring VGC to take the stress of managing the projects ourselves. Then Ali left us halfway through project for personal reason. We did get a better PM, Mo after but he had to deal with the aftermath of the first guy plus the first contractor, Hamid decided to leave our project midway due to a dispute with how the company mismanaged payment to him. I was then harassed for weeks by Hamid to pay him or else he'd put a lien on our home. Meanwhile, the manager Hussain did not check in once to clarify or reassure us that we did not owe the contractor anything outstanding as we made payment on time to VGC. Then Hamid further disclosed that VGC definitely overcharge their clients and he said our project should not have taken as long as it did to complete, which left a very negative feeling for us. I felt anxious throughout thinking Hamid was going to show up and threaten my family and I have small children at home, it was not a good feeling. There was also design flaws where calculations were flawed and it required my husband to step in and alter the design and measurements. All in all the project was a disaster for us and we do feel overcharged. I do not recommend them. They were not professional and the trades they hire are also not professional. Don't be persuaded by the smooth salesman pitch from the manager, it's all smoke and mirrors because when things went wrong they definitely didn't care about their customer.

I initially hired this company to work on my deck and guest bathroom because they offered me a…read morepackage deal, but throughout the job I learned that they could also do some work on the backyard. Before they arrived, it was in a very rough situation being on a hard slope with some uneven ground and just an overall mess. Not only did they do a great job remodeling the inside of the home, but I was also very satisfied with the end result on the landscape side of things. Everything looks clean and presentable at this point which is all I wanted. As far as the patio goes, it couldn't have been done better by my estimation. I got the flooring I've always wanted and the squeaky/shaky stairs have finally been fixed after tormenting us for months. They added a small rock wall and added a whole new patio roof. I'm really loving the end product on all of the projects we had them work on. Had to wait 3 weeks for them to start, and another 2 to finish everything up.

Basically, I had to completely remodel the basement suite and change the kitchen layout upstairs with all new appliances, etc. I was referred to these people by a friend so I had them do the job for one of my properties. All I can say is, wow. What a good job. The outcome looks like something you might see in the magazines; much better than I would've expected for the price. Will consider using them for future projects depending on how my next listing goes, but generally very pleased.

Bathman replied to our email in a day stating he was booking jobs out four months approx. This timeline worked for us so Bathman suggested coming at noon a few days later to quote. He showed up on the agreed on date but was approximately an hour late. No worries for us, but apparently our parking was problematic for the Shower Tile Crusader. When my partner greeted him as he exited his truck he ignored any polite greeting to complain that the short term parking was not acceptable if he took the job/how did we expect him to park for the job, etc. Note: we have a parkade he could use for when/if he took the job. My partner was so taken back by his attitude she wished him a good day. Bathman left in his Bathmobile without any further questions a hello or a goodbye. Never even got inside to quote as his attitude was an impediment.

There aren't many reviews for home reno companies on yelp, especially ones that focus on bathrooms,…read moreso I thought I'd drop some information on my experience with Sharam at Bathman. I had a small bathroom project that needed to be done before I moved into my new house. My realtor's bathroom guy flaked on the project, as did the first contractor I hired. Sharam managed to be the only contractor I dealt with who did the following things: 1) Provided me a quote that included a timeline (necessary for the strata) 2) Gave me suggestions for fixtures/etc. so that I didn't have to run around the city to preferred suppliers 3) Gave me good design suggestions One of the hesitations I had with Sharam was that his website has a lot of bathroom designs that were far outside of the modern aesthetic that I was interested in for my project. Additionally his online presence on review sites isn't great compared to other companies, which could mean anything. I'm happy to say that neither concern was valid, as the work looked modern and great, and he was easy to deal with, with the work coming in around budget ( I changed scope a few times ) and on time (despite the change in scope). I'd recommend him for this kind of bathroom project to anyone, he clearly knows what he's doing and he's reliable, which seems to be a rarity in anything related to house renovation. I have a few minor gripes - he was late when I scheduled him to quote the project ( he was never late again ) and my strata was wanting specific times for when loud work was happening, which he didn't provide -- in the end he kept the noise levels under control despite doing tile cutting and other potentially loud work so it wasn't a big deal

We had been looking for months for a good reliable company to redo the master bathroom in our…read morecondo. We looked for months, and got outrageous prices (this is a very small bathroom), places that wont take such small project, or companies that seemed to pretentious overall. Chad came over a few months ago and asked us for our budget and worked with our numbers, saying he didn't want to waste neither of our time. Which we greatly appreciated. Because of our budget we skipped the designer, which is fine since we had a pretty specific idea of how we wanted our bathroom to look like. Even though i wish that the project had gone by a bit quicker, I can't say good enough things about this company's quality of work. They obviously take pride in what they do, and do it well, taking in the smallest details. I wanted a barn door installed instead of a regular door that opened in and took most of our space. They found one we liked in our style and that fit in our small space. I could go on and on about this project, can't wait to get my second bathroom fixed as well.
