Jeff (owner of Bloor West Construction Inc) and his crew built us a front portico which added the curb appeal that our house was lacking (see before and after photo). We did provide him a drawing and reference photos of what we wanted which is highly recommended in order to avoid any misunderstandings. He did say that this was a small job for him so we appreciated that fact that he was willing to take on our project. What impressed us the most was how he stayed on budget and went above and beyond in order to make us happy. We are also very satisfied knowing that the job was done right, and that it'll last for that many years to come. We'll be sure to contact him in the future and would highly recommend anyone looking to hire Bloor West Construction Inc. Thank you Jeff for everything!
The work done by Bloor West Construction appears to be of terrific quality. Their skill, dedication to completing the projects expeditiously and their friendly manner was appreciated. For projects such as those completed I have no hesitation in recommending Jeff and his team.
I hired Jeff to sister seven 2x8 joists and five 2x4 studs that were damaged/heavily notched. I Also had him replace the existing subfloor in my bathroom with new 3/4" plywood. Jeff is knowledgeable, honest and fair – everything you need in a contractor. His guys showed up on time and he was there at the end of the day when they were wrapping up to make sure all the work was done to my satisfaction. He also kept me informed of their progress throughout the day. He stayed on budget and on time with excellent quality of work! A pleasure to deal with and I will definitely call him again. These guys are professionals, which gives you peace of mind knowing the job will get done right and on time!
I recently had the pleasure of working with Jeff and Bloor West Construction while upgrading the kitchen and bathroom in my condo. I have worked with various contractors in the past for both personal and business projects and never been overly impressed with their ethics or workmanship but, I can honestly say, these guys are top notch PROS! They were very knowledgeable with building codes, materials, design and costing measures and they're attention to detail was impeccable (I can be very picky!). They were tidy, courteous, prompt and stayed true to both their quote and time-lines. I just Love my new spaces and owe that to Bloor West Construction for making my vision a reality! I highly recommend them and Jeff for restoring my faith in honest, reliable, quality, and skilled craftsmanship. A rare find.
Bloor West Construction Inc. was always available on the phone and was great to communicate with.They were always on time and always did what they said.Also they stayed on the budget.Job was done earlier than projected and it was a pleasure working with them. Highly recommended!
I hired Jeff to do some shoring for me for an extension I'm doing on my home and gave him $3000 deposit. He tried to come out one day to do the work but the ground was frozen even though when he came to give me the estimate a week before it was the same weather conditions I called him numerous times asking him if u can't do the job that's fine give me back my money or complete the job so he decided to stop picking up my phone calls and ignoring my texts and ran off with my money. I'm in the process of taking him to court to get my money back he's the type of contractor the news warns you about, do not hire him he's a crook and thief. He didn't buy any material or anything just simple took my money and decided he doesn't want to do the job nor does he want to give back my money. Beware.
The Client contacted are company for assistance in having a stop work order issued against his property for failing to comply with the Ministry of labor health and safety act / laws as he failed to remove 2 feet by 8 feet of floating asphalt above new footings he personally installed, he failed to remove a 20 foot common floating chain fence, he failed to remove about 10 yards of excavated grade that continuously was collapsing back into the excavated area and buried his new footings he installed, he did not shore the excavated area to protect himself / workers whom installed his new footings. The client also failed to install a perimeter fence around the excavated area to protect people, neighbors especially from exiting their vehicles in their common driveway or entering their common garage in the dark. Client did not have a functional portable washroom onsite for workers, no emergency map to closet hospital in case of onsite injury occurred, no first aid kit onsite.
His neighbors disgusted with the way the client was doing his own work with zero experience and complete negligence to protect and provide a safe job site called the Ministry and had the stop work order ordered and implied immediately as they feared any further damage to there properties or injury / death by collapse.
The Ministry of labor required a engineer report and shoring to be installed around the perimeter after the job site was appropriately cleaned up and prepped for workers to enter a safe excavated area to commence the shoring install following the client should have at that point installed the new footings.
I received $2000 cash retainer out of a $6500 verbal agreement which I retained my engineer to provide shoring drawings, engineer report and are company was retained to consult and commence shoring install only.
Engineer consulting fees are $460 per hour and are company fees are $350 per hour which where honored as well engineered shoring drawings.
Client was to make second payment to provide shoring materials and after shoring install final payment in exchange for engineer drawings and job complete.
Following are 2nd onsite meeting I provided engineer shoring drawings to the client which we could preform following his responsibility to clean up his mess and provide a safe job environment for my guys to commence the shoring install and provide engineer report for ministry to have the stop work order issued removed.
I requested ample times that the client hire a professional excavation company to come do the clean up / prep.
He stated he would rent an excavator and do it him self.
The client called several days later stating the site was cleaned up and is in a safe manner to start the shoring install the next day.
My crew showed up to find the site in the same unsafe manner and as well no electrical power supply which client said would be provided.
The client argued with myself, my crew that he tried to clean up with a rented mini excavator and failed to do so as everything is frozen and was defensive about his incurring cost to himself and failure to provide a safe area for us to do the shoring. His defense was it's frozen and nothing will happen!
He rambled on that we are UN professional and he will just backfill the excavated area or hire someone else to enter the dangerous area and demanded his $2000 back if we did not do as he directed.
All parties decided that they don't want to be apart of the client's negligence and failing forward to provide any further.
The clients post on this site are completely unacceptable, unjustified and I encourage him to take this matter in front of the courts.
His comments and post are defamation and slanderous.
I have attached 2 pictures of the UNSAFE job site provided by the client as it stands today as well the engineer shoring drawings are company provided to him.
We came across Bloor West Construction through an Internet search and gave them a call to come and quote on our kitchen renovation in August 2014. Jeff was very responsive, came over within a day and spent time discussing with us the best way to go about doing the job. He is upfront, honest, thorough, and hardworking. He is passionate about his business and this really shows in how he treats his clients. His crew are also very hardworking and produced great results. We got several quotes on the job, but we had a good instinct about Jeff, and his price was also very competitive. Would not hesitate to recommend him.
Very prompt response upon calling Jeff. He arrived within an hour to scope the work and had crews working within 3 hours. I was impressed by his prompt response when ever i had questions. Highly recommended for any jobs big or small.
