SW Construction

Had such a positive professional experience working on multiple renovations projects with SW construction.

While I was working with them I noticed they really care about their clients needs. I had to do multiple construction and floorplan drafts to get it perfect for their client.

Overall high quality service and professionalism.

I would love to write the whole story but i don't think this space will be enough. We are out $100,000. These thieves Josephine and Brandon took all of this money kept telling lies. kept pushing the project finished date until we were homeless because we had sold our condo in hopes of moving into a fully renovated 5 bedroom home. So, i ask that these so called good review put down their phone numbers for customers to actually call.Because i can bet you Josephine the con artist is the one wiring those reviews. She goes on instagram posting pictures of our project where they stole from us and tagging it as toronto Josephine please answer, the video of that Kitchen is it Toronto? Because thats my kitchen, and it is located in hamilton. The kitchen you gave bad cheques to the cabinet man and the cheque bounced. so he refused to come finish the kitchen. The same home you gave cheques to the walk in closet company and they are still looking for you up till today. Or is it the kijiji workers, you hired and lied to us that they are your team of professionals. Or the lies you told during your scam. Or is it your partner ( Brandon's) father coming to knock at our door telling us you didn't pay for a door that we have paid you for. how do you sleep at night? You are going about and scamming people and you think you are making your money. Enjoy while you can but know that the police are on you and very very soon. You will definitely be serving time in jail. i know you will run here and say that i am lying. Please tell them how you refused to take calls form the kijiji workers you didn't pay. Or how you gave our next door neighbour (joe) a bounced cheque too. Or is it how you told people that you own the house. You are a bloody liar and Thief and soon you will answer to the law . But, guess what, i have the time and energy to expose you to the world. DON'T DO BUSINESS WITH THESE PEOPLE. THEY ARE THIEVES. A WORD IS ENOUGH FOR THE WISE. if you think i am lying, send me an email @ ([email protected]) and i shall forward you videos, documents showing all their scams. I wonder why trusted pros still have them on their platform. i remember contacting you and all you could tell me was that you are not responsible for the contractors. If you are not responsible for the contractors, then why are you saying the reviews have been screened. Anyways, BE WARNED GUYS, DON'T DO BUSINESS WITH THIS PEOPLE.

I would HIGHLY recommend SW design to everyone,

Me and my wife needed our bathroom renovated on a very tight timeline. Josephine and her team came in and they were very professional, skilled, knowledgeable and easy to work with. Josephine and Brandon both oversaw the project on a daily basis. We love our new bathroom and can't thank them enough for their amazing work and dedication to the job. We even received a free cleaning service after the project was done along with a "thank you for choosing us box" filled with lots of different goodies.

I hired SW design-build construction in the first week of May. Josephine came to my place and took the measurement. she told me that she is going to finish my project in 2 weeks and she is going to bring professionals to do my project. I TRUSTED HER!!! I give her 80% of the money based on our contract. The first day, she brought to young girls to demolish, after one Mexican girl who is new in the country don't know if she has the work permit or not did most of the job for a week. After, she brought random people to just do a lousy job when I contacted the subcontractors why are they not coming, they said she didn't pay them and told them that the owner did not pay. She never supervised the subcontractors' job or checked their work. once she notices everything is wrong she collects her tools and disappeared. I have lots of documents and messages to take her to court. Please, guys, don't pay her anything until she finishes your project. feel free to contact me at 905 965 2696

We Hired Jo and the SW team to finish our 2 Washrooms, SW explained to us new polices and procedures they have started implement in regard to client accountability and additions and changes to project designs.

We spoke to Josephine at length out lined aspects of the renovation process and guided us to make sure we understood before we signed the contract.

We appreciate all the hard work. And our bathrooms looks great!

It was a pleasure to deal with such a professional team. It was refreshing to finally see a business that takes pride in their workmanship as well as their clients. They had great advice on the Reno and kept it in the budget. Would definitely recommend them.

I hired SW Construction and signed an agreement on Feb 20th, 2018. They were to start work around March 15. I was given excuse after excuse on why they couldn't start on time. I'm a fair person so I gave them a few weeks. By mid April, I was loosing patience, so they did the "contractor scam" )where they send one person on site to do a little work, so you can't complain). That last a week. By the end of April, I requested a schedule of when the work would be completed, and that is when they stopped returning my calls, and one night they came and removed any remaining equipment on site. I never got a call or email that they had quit on me. When I reach out to the suppliers and engineers that were involved, nobody had anything positive to say.

What is most frustrating, is seeing positive reviews at the time SW was supposed to be at my house doing the work I hired them to do.

My only advice would be to: a) not give them a deposit until they start work (and a whole crew is onsite for more than a day) and b) have a schedule with dates included in your contract. Luckily I have more than enough communication from them to go to court to get my money back.

I was so happy with the work from SW design/build construction Ltd. They came in and did my kitchen and bathroom. Said it could take up to month but got it all done in 3 weeks. I would highly recommend them for your next reno.

I really wanted to redo my main floor in my home and came across SW Construction. I contacted Josephine and she was amazing! She catered to every design I thought about and helped me pick designs that would suit areas in my house. My house looks amazing! They put together an amazing contract and followed it to the letter. I would gladly recommend Josephine and SW Construction to anyone. They are an amazing people!

We hired SW Construction for our small commercial reno on February 9th. From the very beginning, promises were made to commence work at 8am and wrap up by 4pm, as our business was to remain open to the public. Most days workers did not arrive until 10am, sometimes even as late as noon; this greatly reduced amount of work completed each day. Due to a severe lack of project management experience, this project was "completed" a month behind schedule. Until now, our accessible washroom does not have a grab bar because the last time they showed up they did not have the right hardware to complete the installation.

The quality of work varied as a number of different general labourers and subcontractors (3 different plumbers) were used throughout the project. All of the floors they installed were done poorly, glue stains remain on the newly installed vinyl tiles, and the washroom tiles are unlevel and unevenly spaced.

When it came to making payments, we were always on time, yet they made multiple attempts to rush us into making the final payment before the project was completed. This made us feel uncomfortable considering the number of delays we had already incurred because of them. They reassured us that they would not leave us in the dust based on their one-year warranty, yet the project due date was March 15th and we still do not have a complete accessible washroom.

Over the course of the renovation we ordered a ductless heating/cooling unit through them for $4,000 and they promised to deliver the unit on Wednesday, April 18. When the time came to deliver the unit, they blamed the recent weather conditions had put them behind schedule on their other projects. We offered to pick up the unit to save them the trip, but they have been ignoring our communications since. [They returned our money on Monday, April 23, 2018, after some very suspicious activity]

PROS

Additional creative efforts were made

CONS

Did not follow through on promises

Did not show up on time; there were days where no one showed up

Poor quality of workmanship

Over billed us and had to threaten to withhold final payment in order to get a refund

They became aggressive when I confronted them about overbilling us

Poor project management lead to a one month delay

After having our money ($4,000) for one month for the purpose of purchasing a ductless unit, they were unable to deliver the unit. I contacted the supplier that provided the quote and they were unable to find any orders placed by anyone from their company. We were days from serving a claim before they decided to return our money

We hired Josephine and SW team to complete our apartment renovation. We had limited time line as we just purchased the unit and wanted to do an overhaul!

We had a great experience over the last 7 weeks, going back and forth with ideas. At the end we got our keys with a REVEAL!! SW provided us a Air B and B for 2 nights before we got back our keys with a spotless unit.

Not only that we received a Thank you box with amazing gifts and coupons including with a free house cleaning from there amazing cleaners and KID activities. My family and I could not believe it! Absolutely fantastic group of people, hardworking, detailed and patient, highly recommend them!!!

What a wonderful company!!! From the very first contact, we were delighted to get such fast efficient service! Not only was everything done to perfection, but Branon and his partner were extremely clean. Taking time to make sure that everything was spotless after they were finished. They were able to troubleshoot problems on the spot, and didn’t skip a beat. They extremely polite and on time. We have never experienced such fantastic service. We have been renovating our whole house and I only wish I had found this company sooner. We are just in the process of organizing some plumbing work through the same company. That’s how pleased we are! They even left us a thank you gift once the job was completed!! Who does that?! A+++++

My husband and I were looking for a contractor to install about 900 sq.ft. of laminate flooring. Thanks to Trusted Pros we spoke to several contractors and chose very well. SW Contractors, Josephine and the crew she works with, did an excellent job. Everyone one on this team were friendly, engaging, answered any concerns we had and cleaned up every visit. Although tardy a couple of days the job was completed in time agreed upon.

Josephines team upgraded our bathroom, she spent time in regards to the design with family member as I travel to the states often and was not able to take lead.

After several weeks of just design we came up with materials that my family and I were extremely happy with.

At the end Josephine and her team, Made all the renovations work within budget, even though we took 9 days over our time line, it was well worth the wait.

We really appreciate the SW team, and would recommend them for any project you may have.

Thank you,

I hired SW Construction to renovate my apartment, including electrical renovation.

Brandon was able to provide a price estimate much earlier than I expected and was very prompt in finishing the work in advance. Josephine was really friendly and helpful in helping planning my apartment, I had no idea or experience about home planning and furnishing so I asked quite a lot of questions but surprisingly, Josephine was willingly to answer them all. The renovation took a bit longer and more expensive than other contractors that I used to hire but the final work exceeded my expectation. You get what you pay for.

I would highly recommend SW Construction to anyone and would not hesitate to hire them again in the future.

Had Brandon change my panel and put in a 200 amp service. Also had him connect all wiring to outside shed, pergola, covered porch. He also did some rewiring and found some problems from the previous owner that was unsafe and not to code. He and his crew were great at doing the job right, on time and kept everything clean afterwards.

Good job guys!!!

We never saw Josephine Sindani and Brandon Whiteford, the directors of SW Construction after they received the advance payment of $38000 for the rennovation of our home. They routinely engage in falsifying information and presenting mistruths to the property owners about the contract and its execution. They kept us waiting for 8 weeks saying the kitchen order is in progress whereas Josephine placed no kitchen order. She did not even place the permit application while confirming back to us several months ago that she had received the permits.

Thanks to them, we are sitting with a recently purchased home whose flooring, baseboards, ceiling have been ripped out, a destroyed entryway, permits that are not in place, a kitchen order that has not been placed and with $38,000 down the drain.

Customers Beware or be ready to have your home and finances ripped by them.

My husband and I recently spent a few weeks trusting the people of sw contracting (Jo and the Brandons) with our house. I was very nervous about it but Jo reassured us. By keeping in touch by texts, phone calls and pictures.

They went out of their way to source out and install barnboard, beams and rangehood.

We would highly recommend them for anything you need done. They turned our house into our new home!

If you want to work with great people who will work hard for you call sw construction.

I highly recommend SW design. The work they did was fantastic and looks amazing.

Every time I have had renovations done at my house, the contractors always finish at least a week late. SW Design not only finished on time but a couple of days early. Even after making some changes to the original plans.

Dealing with Josephine and the rest of the crew was a great experience. They truly exceed my expectations.

I hired SW Construction to carry out some electrical work including removing service to an old hot tub and installation of an electric vehicle charging receptacle. Brandon was able to provide a price estimate before arriving and was very prompt in getting the work done. SW provided great, friendly service and billed as estimated! Plus Brandon was very helpful in providing advice on EV charging options before even arriving on site.

I would highly recommend hiring them and would not hesitate to use them again in the future.
