DJR Contracting

DJR most recently finished my existing garage (insulation, drywall, lights, some framing etc..). Jamie was very punctual for our first consultation and knew exactly what had to get accomplished while considering my wants. His crew showed up as scheduled, even slightly early (which I appreciated), and completed the whole project in 2 days. The crew was professional, trustworthy, courteous and clean but more importantly knowledgeable. Especially as a tradesman myself, I was very impressed with Jamie and his crew, they did an awesome job. The work cost was as discussed, no hidden extras. I would use DJR again and will recommend them to anyone looking to complete a project.

Jamie and his crew with DJR built my 3000sf shop from start to finish in 45 days as promised. It went very smooth and to my surprise they actually finished 1 week ahead of schedule and as a contractor myself, I found this very difficult and impressive. This allowed for me to get my own business going which I was grateful for. I highly recommend DJR Contracting for anybody working with a tight timeline as I will definitely be hiring them again.

Thanks again to Jamie and the crew.

Kind Regards,

After a disastrous experience with another contractor on a commercial devlopment project I was heading up, I hired DJR Contracting to not only complete the development project and commercial building construction but rectify all of the problems the previous contractor had created. It is never easy for any contractor to enter a project half way through completion and take on someone else's messes. This one was particularly messy as the mess created by the previous contractor had now become a legal one. I could not have dreamed of a more positive experience than the one I had once Jamie and DJR Contracting took over. Phone calls were answered and messages were returmed ALWAYS! Jamie was not only staright forward and honest to deal with but incredibly realistic and accurate in both his timelines, budget, and managing my expectations. He never over promised and under delivered, quite the oppostite in fact. My experience with DJR Contracting coupled with their high standards and quality of work led me to also hire them to do a full home rennovation on my home. Once again, Jamie and DJR Contracting did not disappoint. One of the most impressive parts of the home rennovation was Jamie's discipline and dedication to sticking to my budget. He knew how important this aspect was to me and at no point was this compromised. The brillant part is that neither the aesthtic appeal or quality of workmanship was compromised either. Jamie treated my home rennovation as importantly as he did the large commercial development project. I would highly recommned DJR Contracting to anyone and can guarantee that I WILL definitely be using DJR Contracting again for all my future projects.

Jamie Depape was recommended by a roommate after he saw the renovation of a friend's basement. I was intrepid at first, but Jamie soon proved his abilities to deliver on time and on budget as well as provide for extras along the way, like upgrading the lights, ceiling, drywalling, applying primer to the interior and recommending an upgrade to a heated garage. All of these added to the value of the garage as well as the overall value of my property.

Continuing on to the basement renovation, Jamie led an experienced crew that showed up for work every day (including weekends) from 8:00 am (my request to get in an extra hour of sleep as they usually start at 7:00 am) to 5:00 or 6:00pm.

Also, I appreciated that Jamie fixed problems as they arose, including a potential wiring hazard, (discovering some aluminum wiring connected to the cooper from an old reno)

mould mitigation and recommending a better use of space than what the plans (from a designer) had shown. (Made one wall corner 45 degrees instead of the 90 proposed, gaining more space for the hallway.)

Jamie also has an instinctual eye for design and colour and was most helpful in recommending materials for both durability and for adding value to the home which will enhance its saleability in the future.

He and his crew were also courtesy on the job site. Even when working in the extreme cold of the last two weeks, they always made sure that the back door was closed and

if any loud noise was anticipated - like the jack hammering of concrete - someone would communicate it to me in advance.

Owing to the odd hours of my work, it was sometimes a challenge to speak to Jamie in person, but he was very reliable in answering his phone and responding to the emails I sent.

I look forward to working with Jamie and his crew on the last phase of the renovation which begins the first week of January, 2017.
