The Garnett Group

Thankyou Garnett Group for your professional design and creative solutions for our deck!

From our first meeting with Kevin Garnett, he listened to our needs and had a vision for our backyard deck. His keen attention to detail and ability to design what we wanted;

gave us a backyard oasis enhancing our gardens and providing privacy.

Kevin respected our budget and delivered on time with superior craftsmanship.

It has become our favourite place to relax in the summertime!

His idea to add hanging baskets and solar lights transformed our once ho hum backyard into a stunning “oh wow” reaction from all of our guests.

It’s been two years and we are still enjoying watching birds and butterflies come to visit from our lovely deck!

The Garnett Group is comprised of a group of one! Hard to call yourself a contractor or group when you’re the soul employee and don’t have any quality trades people or labour’s who’ll work for you. (with exception to Sean Ferry, the hardest/smartest labourer I met in a long time...but he was only available for a week) Unfortunately Kevin never finished and I let him go 4months into a simple basement reno he said would take 2 and a half months max or adding he would be working for FREE if it took any longer. What a crock of BS!!! Should have fired him right them for saying that! Cause that certainly didn’t happen. When I voiced my concerns he was going to be double his labour quote at the speed he was working it became clear to me how terrible he was at math or that he was simply stalling out the job due to the fact he had no sizeable work booked after my job. I told him I would have to take the trim and painting off his list of things to do so I could save him going over budget and that I would trim and paint myself...and what did he do he Turned around and did the trim and paint the second I wasn’t looking! Dick move Kevin! He lacks respect for his customers as well as their personal property. Charges $75 a hr for his time ( but he will do his best to try and conceal that fact by not submitting hrs on a time and materials job until you threatened to fire him). Pretty shady right? Not so organized he wastes running to the hardware just about everyday and sometimes twice a day.. He does not read instructions when installing things he is unfamiliar with. My very expensive steam shower unit wouldn’t work because he silicone over the entire sensor. He’s a fast plumber...but he used shark bites bloody everywhere and everything started leaking the second we tried to hook up any appliances causing damage. Kevin does not have good connections with the sub trades people in the area and will subcontract anything he can to the first company he finds in the phone book without references! Not a contractor he’s an extremely overpriced handyman whom I would NEVER hire again. I feel like a idiot for hiring him. Heed this warning unless you have time and money to burn! Now you’ll have to excuse me while while I cry over the complete miss he left me in. NOT A TRUSTED PRO by any means but thank god this site exists so you can read he’s not.

Hired the Garnett Group in April and they started one week later. Todate, the job is still not finished (August). Things that were to be completed by the Garnett Group were left for us to do which we are not capable of. Some finishes he wanted to provide were totally unacceptalbe.

We hired Kevin originally to put in new steps and small front patio at the entrance to our home. We really didn't have a great vision of making a statement entryway, but I really liked how Kevin's artistic ideas gave us just that. He helped us choose beautiful stone and he had great ideas on linking our entry to our gardens with a sculpted garden edging. He also fixed our driveway drainage problem in a unique way that blended it with the patio. We have had many great comments on how lovely the house entrance looks. A great job!
