Purchased a new home form Gerald Mitchell contracting in 2006. Since then it has been a nightmare. This house uses more power than any other home in area. Since then we have had to replace the house sheeting on the back as the windows were not flashed properly and water rotted out the sheeting. Now due to a plumbing issue, I’ll get into that in a bit, we discovered the front windows are the same. And sheeting is rotting and wet.
The plumbing issues were caused by drain gurgling in bathroom. This allowed a sewer smell anytime someone used water in the bathroom. It was discovered that the ventilation for the plumbing was very subpar and almost non existent. The pipe coming out of the roof,(stink pipe) is too small for size of the home. They did however pot a 3 inch pipe on top to make it seem like there was a larger pipe than what they used. The rubber boot holding this too the roof was hammered with nails defeating the purpose of the water tight seal it is designed for. I have not examined to see if there is water damage from that yet. Pictures are from second floor bathroom under the window.
In short if your purchasing a new home or having any renovations done I suggest keeping a close eye on their work and take a lot of pictures as it may fail in future and you will then be duped like I was.
I would recommend you run away from this contractor, not walk run!

Gerald Mitchell Contracting Ltd first began in 1976 when Gerald received his degree certifying him as an Inter-Provincial Carpenter obtained through NSIT. During the first few years this company was merely a one man operation with Gerald Mitchell as the owner, operator and contractor. Since then, the number of houses built by Gerald Mitchell Contracting has steadily increased. Today Gerald Mitchell has established himself as a premier builder of residential homes and his company as a leader in the new home construction industry.
Many years of hands-on experience through framing, running operations and dealing with customers have given Gerald the knowledge to deliver the best possible product to his customers. His master carpenter skills, integrity and work philosophy has preceded him. His conviction to his craft and commitment to clients has earned him a reputation as a trusted industry leader. Only in recent years has Gerald retired his tool belt (after 30 years of hands-on framing), to focus solely on the operation of his company.
To accommodate recent growth, in 2006, Gerald Mitchell Contracting Limited developed GM Homes as a sister company to undertake specific operations. Over the past 30 years of operation GM Homes has developed long lasting partnerships with the many affiliate companies that must be coordinated to create your dream home to the standard Gerald requires. Our ability to coordinate schedules and efficiently work with sub-contractors allows us to deliver our products with ease in a favourable time frame. GM Homes has a highly respected team of framers, finish carpenters and painters. Our people are just one of the many reasons that GM Homes is able to boast a high volume of repeat customers.
