MG Build Inc

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 impotantly 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 endeavours.

I contacted MG Build to repair a crack in my home's foundation. Marco came and assessed the issue. The repair was completed just two days after my initial consult. I can't thank MG Build enough for their quick turn-around time and professionalism. Highly recommend!!

I had MG Inc. come to do a mold remediation and tear a room out to it's studs and re-insulate and drywall everything. Their communication was fantastic, they were always on time, and if there was a change to schedule or cost they would inform us immediately. This was a small project, but they never treated it like a small project. As clean as they could be, and very careful laying down tarps etc. I highly recommend them, and we're going to continue using them in the future. You won't be disappointed.

Very professional, and high quality work. We had MG build a 3 piece bathroom upstairs in our 1.5 story home in Waterdown, where there was previously only a linen closet, and two bedroom closets. The design process was exceptional, and they handled changes on the fly very well.

When the time came to build an addition and re-work the floor plan of our small 1940's bungalow, we contacted a number of builders. After considering proposals, we chose M-G for the project. From our first contacts with Kendall and Tony we felt we were in capable hands. The clarity and detailed structure of their proposal was an eye opener and big deciding factor. We approached the big day with some trepidation but from start to finish the M-G crew and coordinators handled the whole project and delivered everything according to the design and the proposal. They were professional, friendly, honest and reassuring at all stages. I can't say enough about our weekly meetings to discuss progress and pin down all the details. Marco and Neil were helpful, accommodating and fair with any changes required. To our delight, the project was finished on-time and within the range of the original budget. Overall, the experience and results were beyond our expectation. Our home looks amazing. It was a real pleasure to work with M-G and we do not hesitate to recommend them.

MG Build put a new back door and, subsequently a storm door, leading from my kitchen to the garden. They also replaced a double hung window in a bedroom. I was very pleased with all the work which was always done for the estimated price and in the projected time. Recently I had some issues with the storm door. Some clips for the removable glass and screen panels had popped out and were lost and the door was not closing properly. As well, I had pushed on a brace which was not meant as a door handle and it had fallen off. MG replaced the clips, tightened some loose screws (the reason for the closing issue) and put a new brace on the screen which is so strong and sturdy that now it can be used as a push-bar. All this latest work was done at no cost to me! The missing clips were tricky to locate from a manufacturer and during the time it took to obtain them Neil from MG regularly kept me apprised of the status of the search - which i found very reassuring. I would not hesitate to recommend MG Build to anyone looking for any kind of work on their home.

MG did a complete renovation of my home from the roof to the basement. From their first drawings upto their last cleaning MG was professional, proficient and honest. All work was preplanned, documented and weekly progress reports and meetings were held. Their work was timely and there was constant communication. All my questions were answered quickly and every concern was addressed. I am delighted with the finished job and would highly recommend MG.

Going with MG Build was the best renovation decision we have ever made. We moved into this 20-year-old home in 2012 and it needed a lot of work to update the interior, open the walls and lay new flooring. Right after moving in, we engaged the services of an unrelated kitchen renovation company and were a month into the project when we decided to expand the scope of work to the rest of the main floor living area - to remove two walls (with a recessed beam), reroute duct work and electric, lay new hardwood flooring etc. After already having struggles with the kitchen company, we got a reference from a friend for MG Build. From the very minute MG Build arrived at our address, we wished we had gone with them for the kitchen too. These guys are professional from top to bottom. Our entire project was published on a private project website, where input, review, pictures etc. could be shared throughout. We had regular site meetings - sit-down meetings to discuss work-to-date, wish list items, changes etc., weekly invoice changes/updates etc and unlike the kitchen contract, not a single thing was done unless it was discussed and approved with a signature. We have recommended MG Build to everyone and we will be using them again for sure. Thanks to Neil, Marco, Kendall, Ali and the rest of the crew for a fantastic experience!

The folks at MG consistently exceeded our expectations. From the initial visit to talk about our plans in a vague sense, right through final completion and walk-through, the management, staff and contractors were exceptional. They were open and honest, diligent, on-time, proud of their work and pleasant to have around. I continue to recomment them without hesitation.

I have hired MG, worked with their clients and recommended them to my own clients for several years. Their work is conscientious and well-executed. Almost more importantly, they are a pleasure to work with and able to confidently handle the inevitable surprises that arise on a renovation project. MG has built and managed projects from small to large and their record-keeping shows their experience with the latter; they are excellent at keeping up to date paperwork. I recommend talking to MG Inc. when contemplating a construction project.

MG Build is a professional company. The onsite staff is proactive, offers suggestions and does a great job. Their attention to detail far exceeds my expectations. They do what they say they are going to do, when they say they'll do it. They kept us informed all along in our project with regular meetings and messages. The management team is forthright, up-front, and completely open/transparent. The entire team has been a pleasure to work with.

I bought a building that was renovated by MG and they did a great job! The project was well thought out and their professionalism was exemplary! their follow-up care was efficient and timely! I would highly recommend them!
