Davidson Construction & General Contracting

Review

Davidson Construction and GC have just completed my open concept kitchen. This project included removing a loadbearing wall, installing a new beam, windows, patio doors, flooring and siding. From concept meetings to completion, Rob and his team were professional and accessible. I wouldn’t hesitate to have Rob and his team in back into our home for any future project. Next step master bath!

We just had Davidson Construction upgrade the siding on our home and we are very happy with their work. Rob and his team were easy to work with, did the job well and cleaned up afterwards. Thank you guys for a job well done.

We interviewed several contractors for our renovation and we went with Rob Benson of Davidson Construction as we liked the family owned business and we connected with Rob from day 1. The project started about 2 months before Covid shut everything down which created some challenging aspects of which Rob had no control over. Pricing for product sky rocketed during Covid and most importantly in this case wood. Rob and his son Zach completed our work with the utmost care and creativity as we through some challenges at them. Fully renovating 3 bathrooms, adding a balcony off the Master bedroom, adding a Den as well as designing and building a sauna. We also had the windows replaced, the flat roof redone, cedar siding on the side of the house and soffits.

I did not comment on staying on budget as I think it’s totally unfair. We didn’t foresee the impact of Covid-19 on the prices of lumber and product availability. Of course the cost of the project increased dramatically however I don’t feel that it was Robs fault. The quality of their work however was top notch. I’ve attached numerous before and after pictures where you can see the transformation of our house. The woodwork on the cedar siding, the sauna, the soffits and in the den was of the highest quality. Not to mention the hidden door that they made. Rob and Zach really got to have some fun with the tiling in all 3 of the bathrooms and their work speaks for itself. I would have absolutely no problem recommending Davidson Construction to anybody for their home renovation project as your guaranteed high quality finishes and their work is second to none.

Attention to detail and meticulous precision in all aspects of the project are Rob's strengths. With his son Zack by his side each phase was handled with care and planning. He also has a team of sub trades that are equal to the task and proud of everything they do. The job site was always protected and clean. The proof is in the results and the many compliments he received from our neighbours. I would not hesitate to recommend or to use Davidson Construction in future projects.

Had an extension put on the side of my house during the summer - ~220sq ft with concrete floor and a peaked roof including a loft space for storage. As someone who usually "does it myself" this was the first time I had hired a contractor, and Rob did not disappoint.

He had good attention-to-detail and problem-solving when it came to attaching a new build to my 1972 house, he made the new addition blend in and match the style of the existing structure as best as possible (mirroring the existing garage on the opposite side).

In terms of timeline, it ran a few weeks late but this was mostly due to things out of Rob's control due to some added complications the project had (the addition involved re-locating the electric meter for example and therefore lost some time coordinating with Hydro/electrician/etc).

The final cost was pretty close to the initial quote Rob gave me -- most of the additional costs were because once he got started I added more items to the job such as deciding to completely strip and re-insulate the upstairs wall where it was being cut into for the new addition anyway.

In short, would definitely recommend, and I plan on having him back to re-insulate and update the siding on the other sides of the house to match the work done for the extension.

Had Rob and his son back to do round 2 of home renovations. Latest project included gutting and updating existing bathroom, installation of a new walk-in closet/ensuite, new hardwood thorough out, new staircase with glass/stainless steel railing.

Rob and his team were amazing! Recommended through a colleague, Rob walked in halfway through a reno that had been started years ago and got it finished. Incredibly patient, did things right (the first time). Rob gave realistic timelines, was a great communicator and I’m extremely pleased with the final project - already planning to bring him back for the bathrooms! Even my neighbours commented on how tidy and courteous his team was!

If you want it done right and only once..Davidson Construction is the company! From the get go Rob was honest, upfront and very thorough. This addition took around 4 months and had it not been for the rain, probably sooner. We had and additional 12x25 basement and top floor put on adding an extra bedroom and en-suite bathroom. In reality my kids are happier and I have one awesome shower that I never imagined. Rob is a mastermind. He also gave me other ideas which will be a future project. Rob and his crew are very meticulous, detail oriented and he teaches his crew how to do various tasks. They cN be left unsupervised when he has emergencies that he has to attend. If a problem arises, he will let you know and work out solutions that will help. Robs quotes were very comparable to the other contractors and the money spent will be well worth you investment! Ask Rob for my number. I will be glad to talk to you and show you his work that is how impressed I am and confident in his work.

We’ve worked with other contractors and Rob, by far, was the most organized and skilled. Every step of the way we were provided written details of the work and associated costs so there were no suprises. The attention to detail shows in the work. The job site was always tidy. The finished work exceeded our expectations. It looks like we have a brand new house. I would highly recommend Davidson construction to any of my friends.

Had Rob in, again, to work on our home. This time it was new doors (front, patio). Rob, with the help of his son, continue to provide quality work, from the initial consultation until completion of the job. I highly recommend them for any home-related work.
