Maximizing natural lighting and views

Client Testimonial

“When we embarked on our home addition project, adding approximately 1500 sqft+ to the existing structure, we went in with no prior experience with a project of this size. We spoke to about 7 contractors and we narrowed that down to 3 - MG Inc being one of them. From our first meeting with Kendall and Tony, we felt they were a team that we could work with. They were clear about what we could expect and the required budget - some contractors said the things we wanted to hear and were not being realistic in terms of cost, the approach etc. In terms of budget, MG were not the cheapest and were more or less in line with the other candidates on our short list. The project started a few weeks late due to prevailing weather conditions, but basically from day one, Marco and his crew worked tirelessly to ensure that the site was kept clean, they went to great lengths to ensure that our pool, the kitchen etc were well protected and most importantly kept their promise that we could live through the project at home (saving us the rental expenses). Most of the sub-trades that they used for the project were a pleasure to work with and did a fantastic job. The project was completed about 2 months behind schedule and that was partly due to the fact that we were late in acquiring some of the finishing materials. They were slightly over the original estimate but no major surprises. We met with Tony on a weekly basis to ensure information flowed back and forth as needed and to monitor the expenses. Overall, we are very happy with the end result - we have the desired space and look we wanted. We would definitely recommend MG Inc for any renovation, addition or new build projects. A few things that I think gives them the competitive advantage are: 1) They never asked for a deposit up front (I did not pay a cent till after the site prep and excavation had started). They billed on a weekly/bi-weekly basis after reviewing the items that were completed during that period with us. I think this is a huge advantage with MG Inc - you often hear stories of contractors running away with your deposit or leaving projects half-way through to start on another as you have already paid the deposit, second installment etc. With MG Inc, I knew my money was safe. 2) They provide the flexibility for us to source some of the material/labour - these items are clearly identified in the statement of work at the beginning of the project. 3) MG Inc was one of the very few contractors who said that it would be possible for us to stay at home during the project - they clearly identified the conditions that we would have to be prepared for and then went above and beyond to ensure that our comfort and safety was taken care of during the project. 4) MG Inc did a great job at setting a realistic schedule and budget up front and were for the most part on track. Definitely no horror stories that we some times hear with home renovations/additions. 5) Great team of guys to work with - definitely miss the regular chats with Marco and his team. We wish MG Inc the very best in their future endeavors.”
