BayHill Quality Contracting

What a mess this company was...please check for this name going forward... Adam Peckham. He up charged me for items I did not ask for, and was a constant no show. I have spoken to other of his clients since my debacle! Since this site is still up, I am guessing he is still out there trying to rip people off! This is why people do not trust contractors.

I hired this firm in April 2013 to renovate a recently purchased cottage in Lefroy. Bayhill was recommended to me by another contractor acquaintance. Work was to commence July 8th and finish by July 11th as per my request and his confirmation in his own instructions on letterhead. The quote was for $6,000 + 780 HST. which I agreed to and with a requested $1,000 deposit which I gave to him.

On the evening July 8th everyone meets and he brings someone else with him. I only had 3 days to complete the work while my family waited in a hotel. The person Adam brought him suddenly changes everything. Adam sent me a new quote that night via email for $23,850 + GST of $3,100. And asks for a deposit of $15,000?

He also stated the work would begin on July 10th and conclude on August 2nd?

This was so far off I refused and requested my original $1,000 deposit returned. He refused.

I don't understand how these people can get away with these business tactics.

If run into him I suggest you runaway as quickly as possible. Very poor ethics.

We had our basement completely finished last summer by Adam and Bay Hill Contracting. In all counts, we are very happy with the end results. Adam was wonderful at making suggestions and is very creative - taking pride his workmanship. As renovations can be difficult - it was appreciated that Adam and his workers were careful to clean up every day and were always courteous and extremely friendly in our home. We had a basement leak to address as part of the job, and then another area of the basement started to leak as well - quite significantly. Adam fixed the problem and we thankfully have a dry basement. The quality of the workmanship is excellent. He was very careful to ensure everything was done correctly and was patient and encouraging when we changed our minds about the paint colour. I am very confident recommending him for anyone considering home renovations.

Our roof leaked in the spring and after several days of heavy rain we experienced significant water damage to our attic, master bathroom ceiling and kitchen ceiling below. BayHill inspected the areas, replaced insulation in the attic, installed a new vapour barrier and dry walled and painted the damaged ceilings. When the work was completed the ceilings looked great; you couldn't see the areas where the repairs had been made. The contractor was very professional and great to work with, always on time, reliable and they cleaned up.

Since then BayHill has renovated one of our bathrooms - installed a new cabinet, two under mount sinks, new plumbing, floor and shower tiles and trim. They also installed hardwood floors in two of our bedrooms and I will be asking them back to assist with more renovations in the future.

We needed our basement renovated to proper living quarters for my daughter and my grandchildren which included a full bathroom, kitchen, livingroom, and three full bedrooms. We obtained three estimates from three different contractors and interviewed all three contractors. After doing so we went with BayHill Quality Contracting. Adam was able to come up with a number of ideas and designs which we had not thought of. Adam gave us a timeline as to when he expected the job to be completed and his estimate of the completion date was right on. Upon completion we were amazed how wonderful everything looked. We would highly recommend BayHill Quality Contracting to anyone who is in need of renovations to their residence. We know they will be just as pleased with the quality of the workmanship as we were.

Bayhill Contracting first came to my house in 2011 to renovate a basement apartment , this was done with excellent care, workmanship and on budget. This year (2012) Bayhill was hired to renovate the bathroom in my home upstairs and again this was done with quality care and on budget, this bathroom reno convinced me to spend the money to have my kitchen "completely "renovated, again I am so pleased with the quality and workmanship, my kitchen reno has completely changed my house and I love it, so do my neighbours and friends !!!!!!

Bayhill Contracting was an excellent choice of contractor for us to do some renos on our new house before we moved in. Adam and his crew were professional and respectful of the ideas that we wanted to implement from the beginning. They were able to listen to our needs and wants and work together with us to make the final result exactly as we invisioned. Adam was brilliant when it came to thinking out of the box when dealing with the many issues that were problematic during construction - as many unforseen things will always occur during the process. Bayhill was always able to come up with a favourable resolution while at the same time minimizing or eliminating extra costs for the client. I would highly recommend them to anyone considering a highly ethical contractor for any job.
