It gives me great pleasure to write this review for Michael and South Coast Sundecks. We just had a…read morecomposite deck installed and we love it! In the briefest terms, Michael was very responsive, explained what he could do, gave a fair estimate, showed up on time, and did an excellent job. Taking these in turn, we were first struck by how responsive Michael was. Where other companies took several days to respond, Michael got back to us very soon after we reached out. We had a very helpful initial conversation about our needs and what he could do for us. I will note, to his credit, that he truly was interested in meeting our needs, and even discussed not installing a deck and simply refurbishing our old deck. There is integrity in that. He was very honest and full of information about composite decks and other options. The most important thing about Michael is that he showed up, on time, when he said he would. Our experience with contractors and builders (and I am sure many reading this can relate) is not great. We just accepted that builders not showing up on time, or simply not showing up, was the norm and not the exception. We were pleasantly surprised when Michael showed up exactly when he said he would, and did exactly what he said would. He arrived soon after we reached out and did a detailed assessment and provided us a quote with options. He did not give us the least expensive quote, but it was fair, and it was far from the most expensive quote. We discussed different options and discussed how to accommodate any surprises that he might encounter while doing work on the deck. He arrived soon after we signed the contract with a team of equally capable and respectful employees. Again, they showed up each day and worked hard and competently to complete our deck. As they were working with an existing structure, it was not without complications and wrinkles. Michael rolled with all of that and fixed what needed fixing. He is uncompromising in his integrity, attention to detail, and excellence. He could have cut corners... we would not have known... but he did not. Moreover, he gave generously of his time, and it did not result in any deviation in cost from the original contract. It was clear to us that he would not install a deck that he was not proud of. We are so happy with the result! Now 2 years into the pandemic and limited social interaction, we cannot wait to show off our deck and have our friends and family over. Michael is competent, professional, personable, and I recommend him for your project without reservation.

I almost never review non-restaurants, but I had such a good experience with these guys that I had…read moreto take some time out to give them a positive review especially since I have had some nightmare experiences with other reno guys. I was referred to Western Innovation System from a co-worker who got their kitchen redone by them. Jon and his team helped us with some kitchen and deck renovations. We had a deck redone awhile ago and Jon was able to catch some mistakes the other contractor previous made. I was really impressed with how smooth the kitchen reno process was- he pointed out some things about the original kitchen design that weren't quite right and he helped me make the kitchen a lot more functional than I had originally planned! It was clear that they had a lot of experience in this department and I'm glad I didn't decide to try to some some aspects myself to save on costs. I was also really impressed with the modern and clean finishing. He was so great with the main house that we decided to also hire him to do some renovations to turn our garage into a workspace. When we showed him our garage he pointed out that we had some rat droppings. We had rats! who knew? Jon was so courteous he helped us find an exterminator and helped us sanitize and throw out the junk from our space. He found people that were far cheaper than any other junk service we were calling. He then helped us seal up all the holes in the house and garage to make sure pests wouldn't be a further problem (There's a community garden on the corner of our block and I'm pretty sure the rats were coming from there). We are really happy with Jon and his team and would not hesitate to call him back on another renovation, plumbing or electrical job. Really outstanding people and very honest. The whole process was really quick and the entire team was very communicative and professional throughout the process.

I had dealt with several unscrupulous and flaky contractors on a previous renovation and was looking for a contractor that would: 1. Provide accurate Estimation of price 2. produce high quality workmanship 3. Completed the work on schedule Before doing any work Davyn provided me with a detailed and transparent estimation which allowed me to budget for the project with relative peace of mind. The quality of the work completed was excellent. Upon pulling apart my deck they found additional rot which needed to be addressed, this meant the job took on a larger scope than expected, but the team at Reno King worked hard to finish the job within an acceptable timeframe.

None of our friends or families had any recent home renovations done so we relied on our own search on the web. I was in town in September 2008 for a week, interviewed a couple on the 2nd day in town and decided on Level One. The owner came to the condo with an assistant for an assessment, listened to what we wanted to have done and offered a few suggestions. I was given a quote within just a couple of days. After agreeing to the contract, the demolition started the following week! Although it was a small one-bedroom condo, we had our kitchen torn out and replaced with new appliances and cabinetry, all the flooring replaced with bamboo flooring, the bedroom closet gutted and rebuilt, half of the bathroom redone. The project was completed in just 2 months. We are very happy with the process and the quality of the work. We were still living in California at the time of the renovation so all communications were done either by email or over the phone. We received email and photo updates weekly if not more frequently. We were sought approvals for any changes to the plans so we were aware of all changes to the costs all the time. When we walked into our condo a few months later when we moved here, it was exactly how it looked in the picture, even better because we could see it in person. There was a slight problem with the bathroom sink a month after we moved in in March 2009. It was a new product so it needed some tweaking. The owner came back numerous times to make sure it worked. Not only that we were not charged for the visits, he gave us a bottle of wine for the inconvenience caused. We had other renovation projects in the past and Level One is the most reliable contractor we dealt with so far.

Kav, Karim, and the team at Goldcon Construction are absolutely amazing. Words really cannot…read moredescribe how grateful we are to Goldcon - but since this is a Google review, I will try my best to paint a picture of how we worked together. Prior to selecting Goldcon, we had interviewed about 15 contractors. All of them were great sales people, they all sounded like they knew what they were doing, so narrowing it down was difficult. We eventually got it down to 3 companies (Goldcon and 2 others) and signed up to a design document with 1 of them that was not Goldcon. Typically in construction the contractors will charge a "Cost Plus" model or a "Fixed Price". For fixed price, you need to have a perfectly crafted scoping document so you know exactly what you are paying for. For "Cost Plus" you are paying a percentage on top of the cost of the project. Virtually all the contractors wanted to use a Cost Plus Model given all the uncertainties with supplies and labour. I just didn't like this idea because it didn't feel like the contractors would make an effort to negotiate the best price for us. Goldcon was one of the only contractors that was willing to do a fixed price for the build - but they were concerned that we would need to submit a variety of change orders if the supplies that we had chosen were out of stock. So we decided to settle on a fixed management fee and pay Goldcon in installments that were tied to milestones reached. As soon as we signed on the dotted lines, they got to work. And they worked fast. Trades were organized extremely efficiently, one after another. Multiple quotes were presented to us for each trade and they often were able to get their existing partners to match prices of lower price suppliers. Design ideas were brought to the table and discussed at length, but very quickly and efficiently. Communication was effortless, we setup a WhatsApp group and kept a history of all the things we discussed. When we had a difference of opinion, they always reverted back to "It's your house, you have whatever you like, but we just think XYZ would make the most sense". This was reassuring to us and most of the times we ended up going with their suggestions and it paid off. At no point in the process did we feel like we were being bullied into doing something or were we uncomfortable with the process. So overall, there are 100's of reasons to choose Goldcon and ZERO reasons to work with someone else. If you are looking for a builder for a new house or to do a larger renovation, Goldcon is the only company that I would recommend. I would be happy to speak with anyone personally that is interested in hiring them and would be thrilled to be a reference. Please feel free to reach out to me if you have any questions. You can find me @bctennis online.
