An exceptional thorough, quality job. Paul listened and created a space beyond our expectations. An excellent crew who take a lot of pride in their work and treat your home as they would their own. Paul and his team renovated our main floor bathroom and installed a walk in tub, toilet and vanity for my handicapped mother and created an oasis spa for her. This team was flexible, creative and delivered more than we had imagined. It truly is now a peaceful retreat that allows my mother more independence and created a luxury she had been yearning for the past 5 years. I would certainly recommend this team of talented people and will definitely use their services for any further work I do in my home. We are very happy with the work performed.
Paul and Paul's Contracting was a lifesaver for me. I have owned my house for 16 years and noticed soft spots in the flooring under the carpet on the second floor landing, right outside of each bedroom. I did not think much of it at first, but over time the soft spots became gaping holes and dangerous. Also, I was refinancing to do repairs for the house and the appraiser noted the holes in his report. The mortgage company held back some of the funds and gave me a time limit to have the necessary repairs done.
I hired a contractor early December but with the holidays, I understood that they would not get started until the new year. Well January came and went and I still did not have a firm date for the repair. Finally I was given a date of February 28, which, also came and went with no work done. Even though this contractor had my deposit, he had done nothing in over two months.
I called Paul, told him my story and he recognized my anxiety right away,. He listened as I told him that the mortgage company was threatening to call in my loan if I did not have the repairs done right away. He came to see me within 48 hours and within the week he had the job done. I can not express enough how grateful I am to Paul for the wonderful work that he did in such a timely manor with such care and concern for my well being. I know that he was busy with other jobs but he was able to fit me in and did a fabulous job! I will be using Paul for the rest of my house repairs and have recommended him to my neighbours who have the same defective flooring.
Very responsive and professional initially, however, after taking my money to draw-up some bathroom plans, we never heard back once we were ready to proceed with the project. The plans were provided and even a few edits made after some discussion. I attempted to call, text, email on many occasions without any response. I finally gave up.
I feel I'm out of pocket for the money provided to draw up some basic plans. The verbal agreement was that this money would be credited against the cost of the project once we decided to go ahead.
I cannot speak to the quality of workmanship of this contractor, but his professionalism, responsiveness and reliability are in serious question.
Extremely disappointed with this experience. Would definitely not recommend.
Dear Erik,
I first want to thank you for your business, and to apologize for not being able to get back in touch with you. We moved our office and upgraded computers which caused a number of technical challenges for us. Some faxes, emails and voice mails were lost through the upgrade process. Though this is out of our control, we do understand and apologize Erik for the inconvenience you ve experienced.
Since this issue has been identified I have also called and emailed you personally to meet with you and offer our apologies. I remain committed to moving forward and look forward to hearing from you.
The small fee charged to prepare AutoCAD basement concept drawings will of course be credit back should the project move to construction stage.
Thank you again Erik for your patience through our office transition.
Sincerely,
Paul Counter
Owner
We have now used Paul's Contracting on 2 occasions. On both he and his crew were right on time, courteous and professional, and the work they did was perfect - neat, tidy and functional. We have absolutely no complaints and would not think twice about using them again in the future.
Paul and his crew are friendly and very concerned about your entire home while they work. They shovelled a path to the back yard to avoid traffic in my house and did a beautiful job installing to door.
They encountered a few obstacles as I own an older house and compensated beautifully.
Thanks for a great job guys.
When looking for a contractor we read reviews about Paul's Contracting and they were great! We called Paul and he was quick to come and give us a quote-he walked us through everything and answered all of our questions. We found Paul to be very professional and his crew to be the same.
Paul and his team did an amazing job on both of our bathrooms-we are so happy with the result! We highly recommend Paul!

We appreciated his straight forward approach. Paul spelled out everything in advance and we had a very good understanding of what was required. He kept us advised as the process went along. He was also very receptive to any changes as we went along and in the end we are very happy with the results. Pleasant crew, and they always left the house / workplace neat and clean. Our only problem was delays due to back orders by the supplier. Excellent work.
After a slow start due to extensive re-framing, and replacing a rotten wood floor the work progressed quickly from initial meeting with Paul to the final minor repairs, work was performed as stated and even above and beyond the initial contract. It is a pleasure to find someone who cares about their work and a crew that has pride in their work. I would recommend Paul and his crew to anyone considering renovations.
Paul's Contracting from Barrie, ON has just completed bathroom shower install in my home. Paul and his team were extremely nice and a pleasure to work with. Job description was discussed in advance at the time of quoting and the job was fulfilled exactly as we had discussed and to our expectations. I would call on Paul and his team again without any hesitation should I have any other work in the future.
Thanks Paul
