DeCarli Contractors

Our 54 year old cottage on Georgian Bay was in need of a major ten;cation. We chose DeCarli Contractors for the job and we couldn't be happier with the entire building process, and especially the final result. DeCarli Contractors is a full service contractor employing the very best of local trades. As well, a knowledgeable foreman and crew were onsite every day until complete. Finished on time and on budget. We recommend DeCarli Contractors for projects large and small.

We contracted John DeCarli to build our cottage. He was wonderful to deal with throughout the project. He made sure everything moved along as planned. He made sure everything was done right. We were only able to come up to the cottage once or twice a month while it was being built. We have full confidence in John. He always gave us all the options to stay in our budget. His organization, honesty and integrity were very much appreciated. We would highly recommend John DeCarli for any project - extremely happy with the results of our build.

I liked that John took the time to review what it would look like before the deck was started. So I knew what I was getting. I would recommend Decarli Contractors to anyone who wants a high quality job done right!

I work closely with Decarli Contractors as their HVAC specialist. Every job they do big or small is of the best quality. I also use Decarli Contractors in my own home for decks, fencing and finishing my basement. The attention to detail is amazing! Always happy to recommend John and his guys to anyone. Thanks John Craig Stewart Garthside LTD.

In the summer of 2013, John DeCarli and his company repaired a second story cement balcony attached to our home and installed a large, pressed concrete patio under and beyond the balcony area. Throughout the whole process, John and his team worked in a professional, friendly manner. We were delighted at the outstanding quality of workmanship, the discussions related to progress, the coordination of John’s team, the cleanliness and safety of the work site each evening, and especially the finished product. John was attentive, honest and direct in all aspects of the project. We have the highest respect for his work ethic, skill, and rapport with his clients.

We were looking to build our dream cottage and being from Toronto we needed a contractor we could really trust. We met with several contractors and began to get frustrated because none seemed to be organized, customer friendly, able to work with our designer and detail oriented. All of which were critical for us given the scale of our project and fact we would not be up for weeks on end; we had to “trust” our contractor with what was going on and quality of work being completed. I have heard mulitple nightmare stories with people in this situation. John was recommended to us and once we met, we opted to go with DeCarli Contracting. The absolute best decsion we made. The quality of his foreman, crew and trades are second to none. Never once did I have a problem paying DeCarli because they were fully transparent in their billing and if something did not seem right, it was a very rational and fact based discussion. In the end, they were on budget, on time, fully transparent, quality exceeded our expectations and an absolute pleasure to work with. Most importantly, they earned a level of trust with our family from start to finish that we will use DeCarli for all other projects we have. Frankly, I have no idea why you would not want to use DeCarli on any project.

We first met John DeCarli at the Midland Home Show in 2011 and it was his value statements and ethics that attracted us. And he did not disappoint . John did exactly what he said he would do, when he said he would do it. He was always respectful, and thorough in his work. He gave excellent advice on design options. The quality of the work by John and his employees is remarkable. John presents everything, including all costs, up front in a line by line format. He does not leave his clients guessing . Ours was a major renovation project including the tearing down of load bearing walls. The result was a totally open concept encompassing the kitchen, dining and living room. His recommendation to use aqua timber was a god send. Our balcony was converted to a beautiful sitting and viewing room as a seamless extension to the main room. We were so pleased with this project, we decided on an extensive makeover of our bedroom and en-suite bathroom which was completed in November 2012..In summary, not only a job well done but also with no cost overrun. We now have our dream home.

Fourteen hundred square feet of solid, accurate construction that will be around long after I’m gone. Extremely happy with the results.
