I am so happy with the final product!! Paul’s team did an amazing job. They were extremely knowledgeable and always polite while answering all my questions. At the end of each day you wouldn’t even know they had been there, the house was always left clean. They will be doing my kitchen next!
Thank you Paul and team for all you hard work!
Paul Counter and his team were very professional and courteous prior, during and after the job. They are friendly and professional and took off footwear as well as putting down sheets to prevent damage and dirt etc. They also cleaned everything up so it was left nice and tidy. We are very pleased with the service and the job we had done and would not hesitate to hire them for other jobs in the future. We highly recommend Paul’s Contracting.
We have used Paul's Contracting repeatedly on major projects in both our home and cottage. We have found the quality of work to be excellent, and the value for money to be most satisfactory. Communications have been very good, and Paul's team are trustworthy and reliable.
Paul and his team of Chris, Katherine and Wil were absolutely amazing:
Our upstairs was like a loft with an ugly whirlpool bathtub in the middle of the floor, a tiny shower with no privacy, a toilet and sink in a room the size of a closet. We had a closet with no place to hang any clothes. I called Paul to come to our home for his opinion on what could be done. Paul came to our home with a positive attitude and a smile, we threw around a few options and the finished product turned out better than we could ever have expected. This space now has a beautiful full bathroom with an amazing shower and vanity. They fixed some falling walls, painted this huge space and replaced the carpet with a beautiful vinyl flooring. They also did extras that Paul didn't charge for, we were so impressed with how thoughtful he is. The finishes are exquisite and done to perfection. Chris was extremely helpful in choosing tiles, flooring and paint color, we couldn't have done it without him, at the end of each day he would take the time to go over what was done and what they would be working on the next day. Oh! and the ugly tub is gone and we can now hang a ton of clothes in the closet.... Paul and his team listened to our concerns, kept us fully informed and worked with us very closely. I highly recommend Paul and his team, I promise you will not be disappointed.
Paul’s Contracting was hired to convert our master bedroom closet into an ensuite bathroom, provide access to the garage from inside the home, replace flooring in main living area and run a water line for a new fridge.
From the very beginning of our interactions, Paul and his team were respectful, knowledgeable, accommodating and efficient. There were no hidden costs and communication was amazing. We would highly recommend them and will absolutely call them again for future jobs.
I’m writing my review super later because we had a family emergency shortly after they finished the job in February 2019. I had hired Paul and team for 2 bathroom renos two years prior and so when we had an unanticipated kitchen flood that ruined the whole main floor flooring, I knew who I was going to call to put things right. In addition to the flooring we decided to remodel the kitchen and remove and interior wall. Paul’s team again were wonderful. Always offering suggestions to make things better and we were thrilled with the outcome. They made our vision a reality and I loved working with them but hopefully my reno days are over for a while. Thanks again Paul and team.
The work that was done was excellent and we were very happy with on site people and the finished job. Communication was a little difficult at the end of the project, but I will write that off to the added difficulty of working during a pandemic.
Paul and his staff made the whole process of our master ensuite renovation enjoyable. Paul had lots of suggestions on layout, several options for us to consider, provided us with detailed quote for the job and even met us at a local supplier to help select the tile. He gave us all the information we needed. The staff who completed the renovation were professional, courteous and most importantly, did a great job. We’ve very happy with the finished product and we hope to have them back to do another project for us.
We finally did it!! and couldn’t be more pleased. 9 years we pondered this project, can we do it ourself or risk revisiting a contracted kitchen disaster?? We interviewed contractors, Paul’s Contracting kept taking the lead in our checked boxes so confidently we forged ahead. From planning to end result, it was an extremely pleasant experience. Paul is down to earth, very patient and approachable, never any pressure, he listens and makes the entire process like listening to a fine tuned orchestra. He cares about client satisfaction and it clearly shows.
The crew (working in small quarters) worked rhythmically together. Extremely curious and respectful of our space, friendly, very patient with our daily questions. These 3 were all work, Chris (foreman) always having time at the end of the day for a friendly chat, bring us up to speed and explain the tasks for the next day. And Clean!!!
Our end result for two bathrooms was perfect, exactly the look and feel we had eagerly anticipated. Paul and team were also very helpful with design ideas right down to the small details.
When every morning feels like you’re at the spa you know we’re VERY happy customers.
I look forward to our next project, without hesitation, it will be Pauls Contracting doing the job!!
We hired Paul's Contracting back in 2016 to renovate two bathrooms. They did a great job at that time, custom tiled shower, moving plumbing, tiled heated floors, all new fixtures and vanities.
At that time we purchased a steam shower unit from a supplier in Calgary we found independently and asked Paul to install it. IT was complicated, but he did install it and it looked and worked well, for the first few months.
The unit was a constant problem, and kept malfunctioning. The supplier went out of business and after several costly repairs, we gave up. We contacted Paul and asked him to remove it, and build us a custom shower like he had done for our other bathroom.
It took five days from demo to completion of the tiled shower, and it is very well done. The custom glass will take a few weeks, that is done by a glass company, not Paul's construction.
PRO's - very clean, they lay floor coverings, vacuum daily, keep their work area clean and organized. Work is professional and well done. Contract is clear and organized, with Scope, responsibilities and payment schedule. Staff is pleasant and hard working.
CON's - They are super busy, and in demand. You may have to wait a few months for them to start, but they are worth the wait.
