In November 2022 we contracted with Empire Remodeling (owner Kledi Prendi, AKA Kevin Prendi) to build an attached single garage in Brantford. This work also included the excavation of land and pouring of concrete to construct a pad for this garage. Mr. Prendi also agreed to apply for and pick up the appropriate City building permits for this project. We provided Mr. Prendi with engineered plans for this project.
Work was to start as soon as the permit was issued by the City. Payment for the permit and initial excavation and concrete work was made to Mr. Prendi upon agreement of the scope of work, total amount paid to Prendi was $ 11,090. We were unable to obtain a start date for the contracted work despite numerous conversations with Empire’s building manager Alex and attempts to contact Prendi himself. After further attempts over a 3 month period to finalize a start date, we contacted the City for the permit update. At that time, we were advised the permit had been available since December 9, 2022, but requests for payment to Empire/Prendi had not resulted in action by the company to make payment to the City or to pick up the permit.
To date (June 2023) none of the contracted services have been performed. We are aware now that subcontractors/suppliers did not receive payment on other jobs and that other homeowners have/are facing the same issues. Our request for termination of the contract due to non-performance and full refund have been ignored.
Our advice - do not enter into any contract with Kevin Prendi or Empire Remodeling. Please note we have filed a complaint with the Better Business Bureau and have forwarded this file to Halton Police Fraud Unit to determine appropriate action on their part.

We recognize that the construction industry is changing at a rapid pace and we continually strive to be at the forefront. It s been our way of thinking since our inception.
Today, projects are getting larger and more complex; facilities are becoming greener and more technologically advanced. And because of this change, what happens before and after construction, now affects project outcomes just as much as what happens during construction. This is why we developed a full suite of construction and building services, to help our clients meet the growing demands of projects while minimizing their risk.
Our construction and total service offering lets us deliver projects in their entirety. We can lead projects all the way from the initial concept phase to long-term asset management, operations and maintenance.
