The Works Building Contractors

Andrew and his crew were incredible to work with from start to finish. They were kind, courteous, and adaptable. They held themselves and their work to the highest standards, with every contractor hired and every brushstroke of paint. If something didn't turn out perfectly, they would fix it on their own before my wife and I could even tell. The level of care and dedication to quality craftsmanship that Andrew maintains is a dying breed, and you'd be lucky to have him work on your project.

After experiencing a devastating flood that damaged three floors of our century home, our family was suddenly displaced and facing what felt like an overwhelming road ahead. Our insurance company initially estimated that reconstruction would take up to 18 months, which was incredibly discouraging. From the moment we began working with The Works General Contractors, everything changed. Andrew approached our situation with urgency, compassion, and a clear commitment to getting our lives back to normal as quickly as possible. He communicated openly throughout the entire process, kept us informed at every stage, and consistently demonstrated professionalism and care. What truly sets Andrew and his team apart is their dedication. They didn’t just meet expectations—they exceeded them in every way. Through hard work, coordination, collabotation, and attention to detail, they were able to complete the reconstruction in under six months, far ahead of schedule. We are incredibly grateful for Andrew's expertise, efficiency, and genuine concern for our family’s well-being during such a difficult time. We wholeheartedly recommend The Works General Contractors to anyone in need of reliable, high-quality service. They turned a stressful and emotional experience into one of relief and gratitude.

We hired "The Works" in 2024 to renovate the second floor in our home. We met with Andrew who gave us great ideas and also listened to us and the look we wanted. They completely renovated our ensuite bathroom and gave us the walk in closet of our dreams. They updated our hardwood floor, trim and doors, finishing it off with a fresh coat of paint. The whole process was seamless. Andrew checked in with us regularly and always listened to any of our concerns. The job was completed on time and we have since hired "The Works" again to renovate another bathroom in our basement. We have plans for a few more updates to our home with "The Works" as well. We highly recommend them.

I am not sure we can express how happy we are with the work Andrew and the team from The Works performed for us, in only 5 stars. Our backyard oasis was in planning for many years and when it finally came together it was even better than we envisioned. There were so many details to bring our project together. Excavation, foundations, landscaping pool installation, electrical, gas, plumbing, septic and the final major piece, the skilled carpentry of the pool house, hot tub gazebo and BBQ area. Andrew you planned it out so well and not only kept your scope on schedule, but you assisted multiple other trades as well. That was not fully your responsibility, but you assisted in managing the overall project to keep it on schedule. We so often hear these days that contractors are not meeting the expectation of their clients. In the case of The Works you not only met, but exceeded our expectations. Regularly you would update us on progress and ask for answers so you could continue with the work. Communication is a lost skill it seems these days and great communication led to the results we received. This project was done to bring our family and friends together. Leanne and I are so pleased that you were recommended to us for a project so important to us. I know we will have an opportunity to work together again and we will recommend you to anyone that asks us for a professional company for a project they have planned. Thank you again for bringing our vision to reality. Dean and Leanne

Recommend. Andrew is very professional, and a pleasure to deal with. Keeps the customer in the loop on project details. Would definitely use “The Works” again. Work completed is well done and not poorly executed. Attention to details is better than average for sure.

The Works is an exceptional contractor and could not have been a more happier customer. Extremely professional, talented and reliable!!!! Would gladly have them back to complete future projects

Andrew was recommended to us for our Den renovation in 2016. When it came time to renovate our two bathrooms and basement in 2019, we didn't hesitate to contact Andrew. Based on the Den renovation, we were confident he would be professional, knowledgeable, and dependable. Andrew pays attention to details, as does his assistant, which results in quality work. They work so well as a team that our project moved along smoothly to its completion. We greatly appreciated Andrew's hands-on experience as a renovator when making all the choices needed for bathroom renovations. Andrew has excellent relationships with retailers in the community (e.g., tiles, lighting, flooring) and he met with us at different stores to help us make product choices. There were some challenges, to be expected with a renovation (e.g., concrete partial walls had to be removed to open up the downstairs bathroom stall). At all times, Andrew was calm and clearly explained what needed to be done. We love the new look of our bathrooms and basement!

1st project was a basement family room Reno. This was done in the fall of 2017. Remove old, dated family room, remove a wall and create a door way to another area. Install gas fireplace. Work site was always clean and the worker was always professional. Included taking the walls back to cement and installing thicker studs to accommodate proper fibreglass insulation. Instal many more outlets a reasonable distance from each other and instal dimmable pot lights in new drop ceiling. Luxury vinyl floor install and carpet the stairs. Winter 2019 - remove / instal kitchen, remove / instal main bathroom and en-suite bathroom. Remove all flooring on main floor and replace with luxury vinyl and all new baseboards and casings. Prior to this, all interior doors were replaced with 2 panel doors. Remove and install 2 rear windows and a sliding door. Old laundry room cupboards were eventually installed in the garage and the former kitchen cabinets were installed in the laundry room. New quiet powerful Panasonic exhaust fans were installed In the 2 bathrooms. A glass walk in tiled shower was installed in the en suite. Replace, move and install the kitchen and dining room lights and full pot lights in kitchen and eat in kitchen. There was a lot of work completed in a few projects but each project seemed to be reasonable in duration. If any issues came up, Andrew was calm, level headed and dealt with the issues. He would also help with his opinion on current products and colours/finishes.

Andrew did a total renovation of our kitchen, bathroom and powder room. We are thrilled. He was great to work with: friendly, professional, and knowledgeable. His advice was always excellent and it made having to choose tiles, flooring, etc less overwhelming. He and Rich worked hard, and he did an excellent job co-ordinating the necessary trades. He also did a good job cleaning up the space on a daily basis. This made living through the renovation a lot easier. I was impressed and would highly recommend The Works to anyone.

Working with Andrew on our master bedroom renovation was amazing. His work is top notch. Could 100% recommend him and would definitely hire him again.

We hired Andrew for a main floor and kitchen renovation for our 100 year old home. Andrew's work far exceeded our expectations. He helped us make decisions along the way with our best interest in mind. The project was completed on budget and on time. We are enjoying our newly renovated home and we are very happy with the results!

We had Andrew renovate the whole upper level of our home. The project included adding a dormer, moving multiple walls to reconfigure rooms, adding closets, new stairs, new hardwood flooring, and a cold air exchange. We absolutely loved working with Andrew in terms of his incredible customer service, always keeping us informed, helping us bring our ideas to completion, providing solutions, and beautiful final product. After the quality and service that we received from Andrew we will always use him for any project and plan to in the future.
