I would give a zero if possible. A couple months ago I reached out to Steve looking at getting a quote to remove a load bearing wall. He put me in touch with his business partner Al who came out and did an inspection of the scope of work. Al provided a verbal estimate on the spot. A couple days later, I asked him to provide a written estimate. He emailed me an estimate outlining the work involved. I told him I wanted to proceed immediately and did not haggle on the price. He told me to let him know when I put in for a permit and that he could start right after getting the permit. I contacted him Oct 31 and told him I had put in for a permit and he told me he would line up the work for middle of Nov. Upon receiving my permit, I called him and he said he would start the following week. That week came and vent without any contact. I called him several times and finally connected. He told me that he had been delayed on another project but would start early the following week (week of Nov 20). That week came and went with no call from Al. I connected with him Nov 28 after numerous calls and he said he was still stuck on another job but would call me Thursday or Friday to confirm what day during the week of Dec 4 he would start. He never called. I reached out to him a few times Dec 4 and left him a vm message on his cell as well as text and even called the main office number (did not bother leaving a message). Nothing. All the while I have lost over a month of finding another contractor to complete my renovations.
Please avoid Secure Contracting.
Hello Everyone!
I would like to mention a few words about the deck that Al and Steve from Secure Contracting built on my house. Their work is the closest I have ever seen to perfection. I cannot say enough good things about them. My wife and I are both perfectionists, so we took the time to research numerous contractors and we are so happy that we chose to hire Al and Steve.
Our deck is a raised 400 square-foot wrap-around. It was a complex project that these gentlemen completed with ease.
Al and Steve are very professional and friendly. They are both hard workers and honest individuals. They always explained the reasons behind the work they were doing and the decisions they were making from the very beginning until the very end. These gentlemen took their time to ensure that everything was completed correctly and legally, but managed to maintain a respectable timeline. They delivered on everything they promised and their pricing and estimates were very accurate and straightforward.
They even took extra time after working hours to play with our new puppy.
I will no doubt be hiring Secure Contracting again for any future indoor or outdoor projects I need completed in/on my home. I would recommend Al and Steve to anyone who needs a renovation, or any kind of work in their house or in a business. You will not be disapointed.
I have delt with a lot of contractors in my time and i would have to say Al and Steve are by far the best, they clean up as they work things were done quickly well within our time line. I would recommend them to anybody and everybody who needs things done and cant or dont want to do it themsevles. Great job guys
Thanks so much
Gary
I had 4 different contractors come in to provide me an estimate to build a deck. I contracted Secure Contracting & Renovations Inc. Their estimate was about mid-point of all of the other contractors but within the budget I had set for the project. The quality of the workmanship was excellent and the pride that Secure takes in the work they do and the projects they deliver is beyond reproach. The worksite was always kept clean and organized. They consistently demonstrated a professional attitude and were innovative on solutions to address any issues that came up. I was always kept informed about what was happening, what was next and approximate timelines. Al Walker, my main contact, always responded to questions, day or evening, by phone or email. I am very happy with my decision to use Secure Contracting & Renovations Inc. for my project. I have had complements on the quality and appearance of finished deck as well as the quality of the material used. Both Al and Steve have strong customer service skills. I would definitely recommend Secure Contracting & Renovations Inc. for any Home improvement project.
My wife and I purchased a century home about two years ago and as new somewhat inexperienced homeowners we were initially blind to the issues with the house underneath the character of its finishes and the renovations of the last owners. These issues became more apparent as time went on and we were finally forced to address them. We had three contractors come in but only Secure was absolute in recommending what we required and what it would potentially cost. We went with them for their honesty and knowledge. Even with the high expectations they had initially inspired we were amazed at the level of professionalism, good humour and ability put on display through the course of the renovation. They had all of the required paperwork, they were fully insured and finished the job on time and on budget. They kept us abreast of their progress, informed us of important milestones such as inspections and kept us "in the know" if new issues with the house happened to make themselves known as they worked. They were also sure to give our dog a friendly minute which said a lot about them as well. My wife and I would unequivocally and without reservation recommend Secure Contracting and Renovation for any job you are considering for your house or cottage. We will most definitely make use of their services again in the future. Thanks again Al and Steve!
