Horrible communication. My kitchen doors are uneven and have wood showing at the seems. Took 4 trips and it still isn’t complete. I finally told him not to come back. Then I find out he had taken pictures of my kitchen and posted them on marketplace without my knowledge. I have to get everything redone. Waste of $2000.00.
Francisco and his crew helped design and transform our unfinished basement..we went from bare walls to a beautiful rec room, spare bedroom, amazing bathroom and storage areas. The crew were very considerate of our home and always cleaned up after themselves. We also have a cat who will try anything to get outside and they made sure she never did. We love our finished basement and I'm sure it's added value to our home.
The company provide me a good service and the work was done on time. I didn't have any issues with the workers in regards to having the site clean. My expectations were exceeded with their services and professionalism.
I communicated what exactly I wanted according to my budget. Francisco stayed within the budget. They were always on time. Very polite people and whatever issued I raised in regards to details was very well directed.
I would recommend them not only for the great prices but also for their quality and professionalism.
I highly recommend E&F Arquitel for a home renovation. I had the basement in my 1947 home completely gutted out and transformed from an extremely old-looking and dated basement to a beautiful new living space. Francisco and his crew did an amazing job. He is an excellent trades person and very knowledgeable about any reno project. Friends and family are shocked by the way my basement looks now. As well, Francisco is a friendly guy and pleasant to deal with.
Francisco is one of the great contractors I dealt with. He made the job look easy and simple. No time from my side was required. All work was completed delicately and on budget. All what I asked for was completed and even more. I recommend Francisco to anyone planning a major home renovation.
I have been nothing but impressed and happy with the work that was done by E&F Arquitel Construction. The whole crew was always, courteous, punctual and friendly. Francisco was excellent to deal with - approachable and professional and very fair. I have no reservations recommending them to anyone who is looking to have work, on any scale, done in their home.
I would first like to thank Francisco and his wonderful team at E&F Arquitel Construction. I could not be happier with the work they have done. He had went above and beyond for me over and over again. My new basement suite is beautiful!!!! During the quoting stage he had one of the best prices but he was the only one that suggested a full demolition and using quality materials. He used beautiful tile in the bathroom, kitchen and laundry. Absolutely gorgeous high quality laminate (looks like hardwood) The kitchen and bathroom are modern and the tub is stunning with porcelain tile and accents. The lighting is bright and energy efficient. Plus he was so clean! He blocked off my upstairs and did everything he could to prevent all the dust from coming into my home. I will soon put up pictures to show what an amazing job he has done. Just outstanding! Not to mention my furnace stopped working and he stayed late (3+hours) trying to help me fix it and his grew ran to get me space heaters in the -25 weather. He is not only incredible at his job, but he is an honest hardworking wonderful man that genuinely cares about people. He ran into a few problems as it is an older home and the person that did it before did many things incorrectly. Most contractors would take that opportunity to charge me lots more. He did not. He fixed the issues and I would not have even known if I hadn't come down when my furnace stopped working. I asked him "why wouldn't you tell me?." He told me... "There's a problem. I fix it.... I am not going to bother you or worry you" Such a good man.
I could not be happier with him. I have thanked god that I had chosen him to do the work. I am 100% certain that any other contractor would not have done such a great job and would have stopped half way through and demanded more money when they ran into problems. His attention to detail and overall workmanship is unbeatable! My best word of advice is choose him! I am 110% satisfied with the work. After I seen how stunning my basement is I have asked him to do my bathroom upstairs. I will call him and only him for any renovation that I need in the future. 5 STARS all around I am not an easy critic. I love Francisco! And you will too!!! :)
They provided a written quotation and then followed through on the quotation. They did everything first class and cut no corners. I did ask for some extras that were a bit beyond my budget. We should have discussed these costs before the work was done. It was a very pleasant to do business with them.The job took a while, but a lot of that had to do with the weather and with the job being out of Edmonton.
Thank you Dwayne
Very disappointed in this company. Beware! Poor craftsman ship, they purchased the cheapest materials possible and neglected to finish the project. This company will take your money and run. Owner/ manager has very poor communication skills, will not return your phone calls, text messages or keep you informed regarding progress. He will also make design decisions without your input. This company also will not pull their own permits, which is absolutely rediculios requiring you to do it for them. Contractor took our final installment of $5000 stating he would come back and make final repairs and never did. The $1000 hold back was not enough incentive for this company to come back and complete there work. Basement was never cleaned and at least a dozen garbage bags were left for us to dispose of, on top of having to complete the rest of the work ourselves. Poor workmanship, cheapest materials and poor finishing skills. Would not recommend this company to anyone!!!!
Hello,
I have definitely been the victim of a customer who wants a huge job for the lowest price. I went the first time to this house, I talk to the customer and I told him that for the money that he was going to pay I could offer him certain jobs. The customer new already my "few English communication skills" however he understood everything. The customer agreed and signed the contract and said that he was going to finish the framing and install the drywall but he never did and asked me to do it for a very low price and I accepted. The customer said that he wanted to get all permits done by himself and even in the contract is clearly written that the owner is responsible for permits.
According to what the customer said about the design, i never made any kind of decisions. However for the price that was agreed the customer was excessively disproportionate choosing all kind of design materials for example the shower, vanity, toilet, doors and moulding. I told them that those items were inappropriate for the agreed price but the customer asked highly to do it and I accepted again an irrational proposal.
About the "cheapest materials" the customer was very explicit when he said that he wanted the material as the rest of his house.
I have been for many years working on all kind of construction and renovations; working always with professional people. the customer came to the basement everyday and always saying that everything was perfect. The day of the final payment came and he paid.
The only thing that was left were install the doors of the electrical panel That were already installed on formic. He asked them to be painted and i advised that it was not a good idea because it is formic but he insisted and we did it. He told the painter that he "loved the doors" but later he texted me that he hated the doors and asked me to be changed.
There is a hold back of $1000 of warranty for any touchup on the following 40 days. However my question is: If
a basement can be built completely for $21,000.00 then install two doors for the electrical panel cost more than $1000?
After the final payment He complained about my job and my professional and experienced painter, taper and everybody on my team not in a very good and polite way to do it.
I would like to submit a video of the basement that prove that the place was clean and see if any contractor builds a basement like this for that very low price however i am not allowed to upload a video. Can you please provide me an email so i can upload it.
You are welcome to visit this place and let me know your opinion.
thank you.
