They offered excellent trades workers and finished the job to the detail." > Source: Anonymous (5.0, via HomeStars) > "We recently completed a major 3-story addition to our home with Ottawa General Contractors, and weve been very pleased with the results! From the initial consultation to the final walkthrough, their professionalism and attention to detail were evident throughout the process. The team took the time to thoroughly understand our vision for the addition and offered valuable input throughout the design process to ensure that the the end result was both functional and aesthetically pleasing while taking into account our various changes and answering our many questions. The project itself was complex, involving multiple floors, structural modifications and custom finishes, but Ottawa General Contractors handled it all from start to finish. They managed the timeline well with only minimal delays and presented various solutions to any problems that were encountered. The crew and various subcontractors were hardworking, respectful and always left the worksite clean and organized. We were continually impressed with the quality of the craftsmanship, in particular the moulding work from Oliver which perfectly matched the original and existing work in the home. The final result exceeded our expectations in every waybeautiful, well-constructed and perfectly aligned with the vision we had for our home. The addition complements the original structure, and were thrilled with how it turned out. What truly stood out was the response to any concerns or issues that were raised or that was encountered. A special shoutout to Abdull who managed the project and who truly appreciated the finer details of what we were hoping to achieve. Hes been great at responding to any concerns that we have since the project has closed which has been very much appreciated. Truly a great guy! Overall, we highly recommend Ottawa General Contractors for any home renovation or construction project.

They removed a load bearing wall, installed a beam in its place and refinished and installed new hardwood floors throughout the ground floor. There were a lot of delays initially as with most renovations especially during COVID, however the job was completed professionally, and I continue to receive lots of compliments about my kitchen. A few weeks ago, I noticed a couple of cracks in the ceiling and walls and figured it would be due to the house settling after the removal of the load bearing wall and beam installation in 2022. I called OGC and they sent a team within days to check it out. They fixed all the cracks in the wall, repainted the entire ceiling at zero charge to me. One of the painters pointed out that one of the ceiling cracks was due to poor strapping which is unrelated to the beam installation. Nevertheless, OGC did not charge me for this even though I would have been on the hook since it was not their fault. I would like to add that due to some poor communication with one of the plumbers they had hired at the time of the reno, I had a water pump that never worked like it was supposed to. OGC fully refunded me, which I appreciate for both their after-market warranty and also for their honestly that there was a problem with the installation that couldn't be fixed. I would hire them again based on the customer service I received during and after the renos." > Source: Anonymous (5.0, via HomeStars) ## Trades Electrician, Architect, Basement conversion specialist, Bathroom Fitter, Bricklayer / mason, Carpenter, Concrete contractor, Demolition contractor, Flooring Contractors, General Contractors, Handyman, Hvac Contractors, Interior designer, Kitchen Fitter, Landscaper, Plumber, Swimming pool / hot tub, Tiler, Window / door fitter ## Awards & recognition - Best of HomeStars winner (2024) - HomeStars Best of the Best winner (2024) ## What we checked, and when _What MyTrustedTraders independently checked for this business (verified items only):_ - Review volume: MyTrustedTraders shows 191 public reviews on this profile.

Electrical, gas and plumbing are licensed trades almost everywhere (for example ESA for electrical and TSSA for gas in Ontario), so check your provincial regulator that the contractor is certified for the work before you hire. - A construction lien is a real risk: in every province an unpaid subcontractor or supplier can register a lien against your home even if you already paid the main contractor. Hold back the statutory amount (commonly around 10%) and get signed lien waivers as you pay. - Ask to see a portfolio of completed work like yours, plus recent references you can contact. - Check the credentials and registrations that matter for this work, and that they are current. - Get a written, itemized quote with scope, assumptions and a staged payment schedule. --- Source: MyTrustedTraders, https://ca.mytrustedtraders.com/traders/ottawa-general-contractors-2 Real public evidence only: every figure traces to its named source.
