Waitson & Sons Inc

Took our money and ran.... hired for a 2 bathroom remodel and there were constant delays from the start, constant demands for more money, and the work that was completed is so bad we have to hire another contractor to not just finish this but remove the unusable work he did. The project was started 1 year ago and after the first few months he just stopped returning to the site or returning phone calls. With no word or sight of the man for over 6 months now we are at a total loss and want to make sure nobody experiences something like this ever again. I have 2 unusable bathrooms for over a year, do not hire he has completely left us high and dry!!

Greg Waitson and his workers showed up on time, phoned if there was a delay, completed the renovation in a timely fashion, passing all inspections. Also had good design advise and presented money saving ideas, as well. I sold the home with an in- law suite, and you could see the pics online probably. 446 Harnish Avenue, Parksville.

As a designer I've plenty of experience with the trades, and when I needed him over the course of the renovation, he was reasonable with available times, and as we all find out, it's very busy out there!

1 bad experience. I bought a home in Fort McMurry last year and we hired Greg Waitson to do some minor renovations. He didnt have a place to stay so my son let him stay there while he had to do the renos, mistake #1. The project was late starting only due to the fact he couldnt get out of bed in the morning and when he did he spent all morning playing video games.

He had given us a quote on the job but it was just as well if he had given us nothing because it was only cost overrun after cost overun, it got so bad we had pay for his buddy to come from BC to help him get the job done.We were so far in to it I had to try and salvage what I could so I had to give up the project I was on down east to come up there to cook and babysit at some considerable loss of revenue for me, not including what im losing on this job in alberta. After so many days (2 weeks) I had to leave there, so my wife had to come in and fill this babysitting job. (She can write a whole story alone on her experience)

Anyways, like I said, it was just handout after handout and the work wasnt getting done, and to top it off, what was getting done was substandard. To make a long story short, I needed a 50000 reno done that cost me 80000 and its still only 80% complete and as well I have to get another contractor there to complete it and I still dont a permit to occupy the basement from the city. I could go on for an hour here but the reality is hes a BAD SCENE from start to finish. DONT HIRE! If you think a good contractor is expensive, wait until you try a bad contractor.
