Vancouver General Contractors

We chose VGC to remodel two full bathrooms and powder room. As we were going to continue living in the house throughout the renovations, we requested the job be done in two stages. Our project manager, Zaineb helped us with the design, choosing materials, etc. She had listened to our needs and as our renovations is coming to an end, we have to say that we are very please with the results. The project had gone smoothly from beginning to end. Zaineb had chosen skilled sub trades and had done an excellent job coordinating their jobs, always keeping in mind COVID protocols. She is always available and had taken care of any of our concerns immediately. Our project was completed ahead of schedule. Definitely, we will have Zaineb and her team for any future renovations.

We hired VGC to do a renovation in our office to create an events space and a new meeting room. Nothing fancy or exiting as the other amazing projects I see reviewed here, but it was really important for us. Everything was done accordingly to the project within the timeframe they stipulated at the beginning. They kept our office clean for the entire time, even with all the demolition involved. Another satisfied customer :).

I found Vancouver General Contractors (VGC) on line for our condo remodel on Nelson Street in downtown Vancouver after interviewing a total of five different general contractors for the work. I selected VGC because they seemed to be the most professional with a number of different specialities in house. As a retired real estate professional I found I could relate to their knowledge and capabilities. My wife and I met several times with the VGC team in their offices and were impressed with their presentations. In our mind they had the best ideas for what was a very complete and thorough remodel of our 20 year old property. In particular, the design consultant, Shawn, was very capable in obtaining our City permit sooner than we expected and gave us a good overview of our scope of work and timeline for the project. We found each of their several professionals were very knowledgeable and experienced in their own specialities. In interior design, and the critical area of material selection, their design manager, Zaineb, was more that superior. She had excellent taste for our selections because she listened well to our wishes and steered us tactfully in the right direction. She was capable and had a friendly demeanor. She made herself readily accessible at short notice even on week-ends. The quality of work and attention to detail that VGC’s project manager, Valdis, brought to our remodel were also superior. His efforts made our 20 year old condo look like a new unit. He had a very good commitment to quality and detail on site. He labored hard to please us even when some of our wishes may have appeared excessively time consuming for him. He never gave up on finding the right solutions. If there is any area that we feel VGC could improve upon it is on initial estimation of project costs since our actual project costs were significantly higher than we originally anticipated. There were a number of un expected change orders that came later for work we thought had already been paid. Nevertheless when questioned about these items VGC’s explanations always appeared reasonable. In the end, our satisfaction well outweighed our concern as to the additional costs, some of which were situations beyond VGC’s control. As with any project there were a few hiccups here and there but nevertheless VGC stayed on top of the job to meet the timeline for completion with a close eye for client satisfaction and quality of work.

I recently had a full kitchen renovation completed. After agreeing with VGC to go ahead with my project (with Schwan) just before the Covid lockdown in the spring, I was unsure about what would happen. However, once VGC were able to get their operations running again we were able to proceed safely. My experience was very good. I worked with Zaineb on the project, who helped me with my design selections and also managed the project overall once underway. This was my first large reno project and I was quite concerned about it, which is why I wanted a company who had a full range of services. It went very well. Zaineb kept on top of the schedule and the contractors and informed me when issues came up that required my attention. The contractors were reliable, efficient and did a good job. I was especially concerned about the project given the Covid measures we have in place but despite this everything was done according to plan. I had some minor gripes with a couple of the change orders and little things towards the end of the project, like decorative finishes, but these were addressed before completion. Zaineb was a great help, available to respond when needed and keeping me informed. Overall I'm very happy with my experience and would recommend them. I would be happy to use them again for my next project.

We chose VCG to renovate two bathrooms in our downtown condo because they offered both design and construction services with a well-defined process. We encountered some confusion about the costs during the initial quotation and statement of work phase of the project, but these were resolved and once the actual work was able to proceed after a long Covid delay, we were very pleased with how smoothly the renovation proceeded. Our designer, Hoda, was very helpful in guiding us through material selection and suggesting options that matched our preferences. She was also very diligent at finding suitable alternatives when our selections became unavailable from the suppliers. Our project manager, Ravi, was very responsive to our requests and despite some unforeseen issues, the project was completed ahead of schedule. The primary sub-contractor that VCG selected was also very knowledgeable and accommodating. Overall, we are pleased with the outcome and would recommend VCG to others looking for a company to do both the design and construction aspects of a renovation project.

I hired VGC to repaint and renovate my apartment. The project manager Mohammed was a real pleasure to work with and was very responsive and professional. When issues arose (as they inevitably do with any reno) Mo was quick to resolve them. 100% would recommend. For a first experience dealing with renos it was as painless as is reasonable to expect.

This is my second contract with VGC. The second experience was even better than the first. By the way, maybe some reviewers did have a bad experience but i would be surprise that it was in professionalism or workmanship. My experience with VGC is that they stand behind their work. I understand that people can have problems and glitches in construction - it is normal and expected - but I have seen how VGC stands behind their work and how they solve problems in a professional way. The fixed work is flawless. Renos are not stress less, they incur more money than we think, but one thing is that VCG stands behind their contract and will solve problems in a professional way. Just saying. AND again, my second review is not a fake review. Here it goes: The work is absolutely professional and amazing. The renovations done by VANCOUVER GENERAL CONTRACTORS (VGC) made a dream come true and more. The first floor of our home is an absolute dream, and I am thrilled beyond words with it. Throughout the projects ~ we did add more projects after seeing the result of the kitchen dining room areas (see more below) ~ there was a constant attention to details, of professionalism, and respect. From the very beginning of our project, I felt confident with the teams from VGC. They listened, and understood, and were totally invested in creating the space I was hoping for. The quality is amazing, and I am certain that I will be enjoying my new remodeled space for many years. We were so happy with the results and workmanship that we hired VGC to finish our living room space adding a beautiful heated efficient fireplace; a new modern state of the art bathroom and a huge sophisticated deck. I now have a beautiful live wall created by Aurelien at BYNATURE: PLANT FOR LIVING WALL, is out of this world! Bringing nature as a sculpted breathing element that adds calmness and quietness as well as valuable floor real estate to our tiny place; and finally but not least Ash, Sara and their team at ASHKELON CONSTRUCTION, who are always prompt, treated our home with respect, their work being exceptional and I could not speak highly enough of Ash and his team. Nothing can faze Zaineb and her teams; if a problem occurred, she led her team to solve the problem in a very professional way until it is resolved. Zaineb led them into creating professional and meticulous work in a timely manner. She goes above and beyond to get the required result. I absolutely recommend VGC.

The company was absolutely wonderful, designer Zaineb was very knowledgeable and gave me lots of tips on what to expect from my choices. The project manager Hamed was knowledgeable and in control of the project, made sure the crews were available on time according to my schedule and he made sure that they all did an excellent job. And Parv was also very helpful through out the whole process and made sure everything was being done accordingly. He communicated with me on each step and that put my mind at ease for the total renovation of the kitchen and the bathroom. And all the electrical items were taken care of properly and up to code. And I am extremely happy with the end result of my renovation. And I will recommend Vancouver General Contractor for anyone looking to renovate.
