I've had the opportunity to hire DJR contracting in relation to a project that I had. It was fairly extensive renovation that I was doing out at my lake house.. Prior to hiring DJR, I had hired another company called Access construction. When I initially dealt with Access, Leo was very good at the sales and the front end work. He was all about how great they are how responsible they are. Are there guys clean up after themselves and . What end up happening is after they got their initial deposit they came in they demoed large areas of the project and intern they were supposed to have everything completed but before May 15 because that's typically the start of the lake and cabin season here in Alberta. Long story short, it's Kane got the deposit started to work and then had been heard from them in months so after having my house in 1 million pieces the only thing I could do is to search someone else out a friend of mine recommended calling DJR contracting, and they were very prompt at coming and giving me an estimate. As we were getting the scope of work, the estimate the contract and everything drawn up at no time. Did the Project Manager from DJR make a comment in regards to the guy from the past which I greatly appreciate it and show the level of professionalism.
When DJR came and started the work, they showed up with two trailers. One was a trailer full of tools, and then the other trailer was a dump trailer at the end of every day the dump trailer would be filled up with all of the garbage from the days work, and then it would leave the site and then return in the morning and just continued on right through to the end of the project.. At the start they had five guys that came to the site and started doing the work. It was projected that the project would take about 6 to 8 weeks, and if they could do it sooner they would do all they could. Therefore that meant that we would not be able to get into our Lakehouse till August . Midway through the construction I had talk to the on-site foreman, and he had told me that their schedule was about a day or two ahead of schedule, and therefore they might be able to get out of there sooner than later than they had initially told me. I made a comment that it would be great if I can get in there sooner because it's our Lakehouse it's also my 30th anniversary and wanted to really do something special for all my family. The foreman then said, let me see what I can do, that Monday morning, there was another three carpenters/laborers that showed up in the crew and they went full steam ahead. I was very delighted and especially my wife because we were able to get into our house, not in August, but actually into the middle of July, which was terrific so I was able to plan my special anniversary event for my friends and family and we were able to entertain everyone at the lake house with the newly renovated bedrooms and outdoor kitchen, etc. They were punctual every day at times I even worked Saturdays and Sundays without permission, their quality of workmanship was second to none. And they met their budget within a few hundred dollars which was great because my wife seem to have the ability to keep making changes to their scope, which at no time did they ever complain. Therefore, I can tell you, that I am delighted with the work that they did, and looking forward to iron them in the future to do some commercial work for myself and have no problem referring them to my friends and family. Just wanted to say thank you very much and great job Jaime.
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,
Abe Sleiman
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.
Jamie and his crew we're phenomenal. I had a short time frame to work with, they managed having everything done from start to finish faster than I was quoted by any other company. They were very affordable and the quality of worker was superior. My basement is now the nicest space in my house, I even gave up my master bedroom upstairs to be in the basement. He's personalized the space just for me! I have already referred DJR to friends and family and will continue to.
Our project started as a kitchen renovation. The house is 40 years old and had many issues. DJR addressed all of the issues fixed them and made the house gorgeous. I was promised the house would be done start to finish in 3 weeks, no only did they get it done in the time promised they stayed with in budget.
In the summer DJR created me an outdoor living space that is fabulous. I have attached photo's of my outdoor oasis!
I would recommend this company for all your new home or renovation needs. They are very professional and have design insight that makes it you should simply do what they suggest...you wont be disappointed.
Thank-you DJR Contracting, I love my home!!!
