There were some frustrating problems with the permits, and I’m glad I went with OGC because I’m not sure another contracting team would have put up with everything it to actually get the custom home approved for the location. The city put the project about two months behind, but that was still enough time for OGC to finish the home before the snow started last year.

This work called for a perfect score, and this is the first time that I’ve ever written that in my life. They didn’t need much time to evaluate our needs and schedule the project. The plans and permits were all handled by them, which I understand was a lot of work (laneway home with a residence already on the property). There’s nothing much to note about the cost or the amount of time it took other than that it never deviated from the original estimate.

Across three different jobs they have done two renovations and one new custom laneway home for us. I was always impressed with all the ideas they introduced during the design phase. They cared about what I wanted in every case, and they often recommended details and features that were better than anything I could come up with.

Posted: Jan 4, 2012Basement Renovation
It is our sincere pleasure to write this review regarding the home improvement job that the Ottawa General Contractors did for us.
From start to finish they made our basement renovation a dream come true. Actually it's more than we imagined on our own. They delivered on everything they promised in the contract and more.
We believe that the Ottawa General Contractor group is professional, caring and sincere. They brought the job in on schedule and at the exact price that was quoted to us.
We've had loads of compliments on our new basement and family and friends are as impressed as we are for the job that Ottawa General Contractors did.
Having someone help you make your home improvement plans come true doesn't have to be a nightmare or cost you a fortune. It can be a pleasant experience at a reasonable cost, if you are working with the right contractor. We have no doubt that we were!
