I liked Bill from our initial estimate and scope of work discussions. He was friendly, practical, and professional; he also had excellent communication with us the whole way along. His quote was clear as to each of our responsibilities, including observable points in the work where various partial payments were due, and it was a fair breakdown.
At various points he brought in individual specific trades to help out on things to move them along more quickly etc. which was something he mentioned as a possibility. Each time, he ensured I knew which days and times additional workers would be there (which helps for those who like to know who is in their space, and for what reason).
He is very easy to work with, and includes you in the decision making for portions where things could be done multiple ways (if you like that, which I do). He shared expertise in selecting options, and took personal preferences into consideration.
Overall, the work was good quality, and completed as promised. Even my husband liked him; Bill took care to check if our cat had ninja crept into the construction zone prior to securing it each night!
For full disclosure, our job took a bit longer than originally estimated; however, I did expand the scope of the project a little which would contribute to that fact.
The work he did for us included framing 2 full walls (each with doors), and one partial wall. He built a bulkhead, and drywalled/sanded all the walls built plus a ceiling. He took care to match trim to that used in the rest of the house. Additionally, he did an adjustment as to how our dryer vent was run, installed a countertop, and suggested a few tips we could later implement ourselves (eg. to maintain the healthy flow of air in our home with these new walls in place via passive venting etc).
He did turn down part of the work we wanted done! Which, once he explained why. . . made good sense. We had wanted a new bathroom vent put in, which would require new access through the roof or an exterior wall. Winter in Canada~ Bill said no to this aspect of the work, suggesting waiting until warmer weather to be able to ensure adhesives correctly bonded and cured. He said he didn't want that aspect of the job in a season where correct sealing and water entrance prevention couldn't be ensured. So come the spring, I plan to call Bill again for his next (smaller) job with us. So yes, I'd recommend him, and plan to hire him again as soon as the weather permits.
Bill is very professional and personable. He had proper contracts, was up front about costs, work was completed on schedule, he was flexible with times, he kept the work area clean and clutter free. The floor looks great; he spent time to lay out it out properly and with the tiles be rectified he made sure they were all level and fell into perfect line.
We recently purchased a home which had an old, peeling, linoleum kitchen floor. We shopped around for some estimates and Bill provided a very reasonable estimate and timeline. While explaining his timeline, Bill also went over any foreseeable issues and provided multiple alternatives; this allowed us to discuss and think about what was best for our new home. The final product is fantastic and we have received multiple compliments from our friends and family. We are going to have Clawsie contracting come in to look at re-doing our bathroom floor now too!
I hired Bill to do a renovation of my bathroom in advance of selling my home. He was very professional and helpful in deciding on the most appropriate approach. I am very pleased with the work.
Jeanne,
Thanks for the great review.
I am happy that your bathroom turned out looking great and that you are so pleased with it.
It was a pleasure working in your home and preparing your bathroom shower for you in preparation of your house being sold.
I look forward to any work we may do in the future.
Thanks again,
Bill Clawsie
My wife and i are very satisfied with Clawsie Contracting's work, you can tell Bill really cares about what he does for a living. He is really customer oriented and listened to what our expectations were but also provided great alternate choices.
We had to renovate our bathroom in the basement. All of the plumbing needed to be removed and rerun into the cement floor. For us it seemed like a lot of work, but Bill made it look easy. Final results are unbelievable and better than expected.
Timeline was met as per our agreement and any small "touch ups" once the job was complete were seen to asap. Timeline was extended slightly due to extra demands and unforeseen problems that arose once demolition was completed.
The contract was quite simple in the explanation of his break down of labour and materials and we were happy that he brought in all the licensed trades required for the job.
I know that choosing a general contractor can be difficult but with Clawsie contracting you are in good hands.
Overall we are more than satisfied with Bill's work. We are recommending him to everyone we know and we are considering hiring him again for more work in the future.
Thanks a lot for the fantastic review!
I am pleased to know that you and Mary can now enjoy the basement bathroom like you wanted to.
Working with you and your ideas, I believe the bathroom turned out looking terrific. More importantly than what I think, I am pleased that you are so happy with it.
It was a pleasure working in your home and being greeted with such a wonderful reception to any ideas I passed along to you.
I hope you both enjoy the new space that was created, and look forward to any other projects I can help you with.
Thanks again Corey,

We had our deck renovated by Bill in late summer 2014. He did a an excellent job and I intended to write an review here and had been carried away (well I am lazy I have to admit).
I read his reviews here before decided to hire him as our deck guy:) Both me and my husband are not handy at all, I started to do some research on deck just weeks before started, and barely knew anything about post, railing and stuff. I ended up googling the deck pictures and made a draft for a rough design.
Bill kind of guided us in every single step and in each decision making so that the deck are well on the budget. We had some miscommunications regarding the design, and Bill had to redo some of his work, he was very patient and had no complain at all.
I have no hesitation to recommend Bill for the type of work he did for us.
Thank you Ruby for your kind words. It was a pleasure working with you and Paul and transforming your old deck into the vastly different and larger deck you envisioned.
I am glad you liked my design ideas as I worked with your ideas to come up with a deck that is truly eye catching and will grow with your family for a very long time.
I have done numerous projects for you and I appreciate the continued call backs for additional projects.
I look forward to working for you again.

Bill was very easy to deal with. He did what he promised to do , in a timely and reasonably priced fashion and the quality or his work was very good. We were very pleased with the work and the overall experience. I have no hesitation to recommend Bill for the type of work he did for us.
Tom, Thanks for the wonderful review. It was a pleasure helping you out with your grouting issues and resolving them. The 2 bathrooms and the front hallway turned out wonderful and I am pleased you and your family enjoyed the renovation experience. I look forward to any other renovation jobs you may want to get a quote on.
Bill was a great contractor right from the start, reliable and on time for his initial project review meeting. Timely in providing his quote and beyond reasonable. He worked efficiently and his finishes are all top quality. Both Bill and Jeff (his coworker) always responded to my requests openly and made any and all effort to always go above and beyond. In addition to working on what was discussed, they cooperated well with my cabinet maker which could be difficult, and even went even corrected previous work done and issues left by the cabinet maker. I liked their work sooo much that they are scheduled to do work for my parents in the new year.
Thank you Michelle for the wonderful praise. It was our pleasure to come into your home and help you out with your basement project. Jeff and I had a great time renovating your basement and bringing it up to the standards you had asked of us. Your basement is now ready for a wonderful Christmas and many more memorable family times in the future. Thank you again for choosing us and we look forward to working for you and your family in the New Year.
We had our kitchen redone and we hired Clawsie Contracting to get rid of our old cabinets in our kitchen . They did the job in a very quick time and very efficient . Very professional and the communication was excellent. We were very happy with the service.
Thank you for your very kind words Mike and Sonya. It was our pleasure to demo your kitchen, replace the drywall and prep the walls for the kitchen suppliers. We are also very pleased you had us in to do some finishing touches like installing a backsplash and painting your kitchen. The entire project was a complete success and your kitchen looks beautiful. Bill
We recently moved into a new home and decided to renovate the basement. We soon discovered that the previous owner had done such an atrocious/pathetic job on the basement (probably did it himself to save money) that the entire basement would need to be taken to point zero and then started again. I got around 5-6 different quotations and Bill Clawsie's was the most reasonable one. Not the lowest and not the highest, but reasonable! Another thing, talking to Bill, we (me and my wife) instantly felt that he knew what he was talking about and that we could trust him to complete this job properly. In short, hiring Bill for this job was the best decision we ever made. He worked very hard on making sure that everything was done properly and professionally and took care to incorporate each and everything we had asked for. There were times when we wanted to make changes in the original design and Bill always listened to us patiently and accommodated us. He also gave us good advice and guidance in areas where we didn't know much. A very important thing with Bill was that he left it to us to buy some of the key stuff for the basement like Wood Flooring, Bathroom sink and shower glass door and tiles etc. Many renovators don't allow you this choice and then charge you a big markup over the actual cost of the items. We were able to get exactly the quality material we wanted and at the best price that we could negotiate. Finally, the finished basement is a source of delight to all of my family and now we spend most of our leisure time in there. I would highly recommend Bill to anyone who is looking to renovate their basement. I have also included some before and after pictures to show the outstanding work that Bill did on our basement.
