North of 9 Contracting

I hired Justin Based on the reviews on this site. DO NOT HIRE this company. If you look at the one terrible review, the exact same thing happened to me.

Justin came by gave and me a quote and asked for a significant deposit and this should have been a red flag. I read all the reviews and saw the one bad review which i just chalked up to maybe someone is not easy to get along with.

Once Justin received my deposit of 2800 i never saw him again. Multiple excuses on why he could not finish or start the job including using his children as his excuse. Job was supposed to be done in 5 days total and a month later nothing started and his phone went dead.

I had to get the police involved and that is when i was notified that Justin and this company is currently in court for that other terrible review. Once the police became involved Justin returned part of my money but not all of it and now his original phone number is dead.

I may not see the rest of my money but trust this review to say do not get involved. Sure he has others that say other wise and maybe he can do good work but when it comes to this kind of money do you really feel like gambling.

5 STAR RATING! We HIGHLY recommend Jason and his North of Nine Contracting team. They engineered a complete renovation on our large 600+ square foot multi- level backyard deck. Project scope involved repair /replacement of the substructure including accommodation for an elevated hot tub and installation of a composite decking material.

Justin and his team are true professionals. They were courteous, delivered the project on time and paid attention to the smallest of details right through to final cleanup. Amazing work.

We contracted North of 9 Contracting to replace a section of fencing on our property. They removed and disposed of the old fencing and constructed a new fence.

We were very pleased with the pricing and design that Justin provided. The work that was done was exactly what we were looking for - the new section of fence needed to connect to some existing fencing and Justin's solution bridged this situation perfectly, and sets the job up for the next phase of fence replacement.

We had some scheduling challenges, but once we were able to set a start date, the job flew and was completed very quickly.

We were very happy with the quality of the materials that were selected for our fence and extremely impressed with the finished product - it was so much better than we could have imagined. A truly quality job.

Justin and his crew were very professional: minimal disruption, our yard was always kept tidied up/no debris laying around and the workmanship was excellent.

Overall, we are very satisfied with our new fence and North of 9 Contracting. We would definitely use them again.

I couldn’t be more happy with the excellent job Justin did for us. We hired him last year to put in a fence around our pool and he did a very professional job so we hired him again this year to build us a dog run for our 3 dogs. What a great job he even came back to make sure our dogs were loving it!! Next year we will need to fence in our backyard and I will definitely be hiring Justin again!! Great job I would highly recommend to anyone.

We hired Justin at North of 9 Contracting.

They were the best price, fixed our fence within 48 hours and did a great job.

We hired them a second time, for another fence repair and again were fast and did

excellent work. Highly recommended.

I waited a month before writing this so I could have a cool and clear head to write the review. If you are thinking of using justin, dont, just don't.

He is neither trusted nor a pro.

Just like Dianne in the previous post he took our money and ran. He recieved a large deposit in October to get the job done before winter and then he disappeared. (We paid the large deposit as he did another job very near us and we thought we knew how he worked) .I had to track him down as he moved towns without telling me and stopped responding to calls. It was one lie after another. He is a liar. He lied about everything and basically just took our money to fund his winter. After tens of hours of me going to his new place, begging him to start and then eventually threatening legal action he gave us a firm spring start date at a discounted rate. That date came and went. The reason...he was working another job. Not ours, not the one he was legally bound to do, someone else's.

Things came to a head in May of this year (after 6 months of hell and frustration) and our deposit was returned...and it was not from him. To the person who helped this situation out, thank you, you know who you are and we appreciated it. Justin didn't even call to appologize.

"Working" with him was hell. He puts EVERYTHING first before your job, everything. He will lie and lie again. In a business where your word and reputation is your currency I have not the slightest clue how he is still in business. I was the most patient and understanding person and repeatedly gave him the benefit of the doubt and every possible opportunity to make right on his commitment. I come from a family of builders so I know the business. I was very, very patient and he messed up big time.

After my experience with him I would not wish this on my worst enemy. I am not exaggerating, I just really want whoever reads this to know what they are getting into with Justin. IF you have to deal with him, don't pay him a cent until he delivers. He is so fast to quote and take your money, (which by the way is only done by E transfer) but then he disappears and gives you every excuse in the book as to why he can't start.

Our experience pretty much mirrors Dianne's from Montreal. Please think hard before using him. I have no idea about the quality of his work as he never even started the job. I'm writing this so no one else has to go through the stress and hell we did with North of 9.

This sort of business paints contractors in a bad light. The vast majority of people I've worked with have been great. This is the first time I feel obligated to post as a warning to others.

Justin was professional and timely in responding to my inquiry.

He assess the uneven floor and felt comfortable he could get the job done.

Rather than trying to complete a quick job, Justin made sure he had the appropriate tools to get the job done.

Thanks for your help Justin and I am likely to call you back for a quote on my back deck!

Justin and Kyle did a really fine job rebuilding our deteriorated front fence and building a new fence for our back yard. Our home is an architectural mid-century home and Justin was careful to follow our design specifications to the letter so the fence would still match the house. In the back yard, they ran into roots and rocks when digging the post holes, and even though I gave Justin permission to leave some of the holes shallower, he wasn't happy with that and spent a whole extra day pulling roots and rocks out until they were deep enough to be solid. We had a couple of design changes during the course of fence building, and Justin accommodated these with no trouble. We would definitely recommend North of 9 Contracting for fence work.

Excellent work, high quality materials Justin did exactly what i wanted. I would highly recommend North of 9.

A big thanks to Justin for taking a job on short notice. The workmanship was great and the price was reasonable. He explained the procedure and products necessary in a clear and understandable manner. Great job. We will be using him again in the near future. Peter Smith
