Crown me!

I had QEW replace my ugly 1970s popcorn ceiling and add molding to my principal rooms. They worked around my schedule and did it while we were away on vacation, and we were thrilled with the results when we walked in after midnight upon returning home, and flicked the lights on. They also enlarged a close for us - this is not the first job I have had them do but the fifth or sixth major renovation, and I would absolutely recommend them.

Refinish bedroom/hallway floors and stairs

I initially asked for two detailed quotes: one for the bedroom floor and a second for the stairs and hallway. I received one general quote stating work to be done and total cost. No detailed breakdown; no two quotes. I questioned the initial employee as to whether they use a drum sander on the floors and was told "Yes". Nope. Sub-contractor used a hand-held, three sandpaper-held disks sander which ruined my floors. I initially inquired as to whether the sub-contractor used the newer water dust-filtration unit and was told that he uses a bag (which let a lot of dust escape into my house). Rather than removing the bannister spindles and using a drum sander, the sub-contractor took the easy way out deciding to scrape the stairs and between the spindles. Now I see gouge marks on the floors/stairs rather than smooth sanding marks. Before work started, I created an "Addendum to Contract" which outlined in more detail as to how the work was to be performed; QEW chose to ignore it. After three attempts on my part, QEW sent out a new employee who wouldn't sign the Addendum as "He didn't feel comfortable" doing so. He said he had to discuss the details with his boss. Didn't hear back from him until the sub-contractor arrived, but the employee wouldn't sign the Addendum. I really wanted to ask the sub-contractor after he was finished if he'd be happy with the work he did if it was his house, but didn't as he worked very hard at the job. The end result of the work that was done was that it definitely wasn't what I wanted and requested; the deposit that they requested was in the vicinity of 30% rather than the typical 10% that most-other contractors request. On an earlier occasion. I had this company upgrade my ensuite bathroom and the end-result that I would give would be a 6 out of 10 (and that's being generous). Would I hire this company to do work for me again? Definitely not.

Dear Mr. and Mrs. M.

I am sorry to hear you were dissatisfied and did not live up to your expectations with the work QEW Contracting performed at your home.

We have always taken much pride in the work we do for our customers over the many years we have been in business.

We’re known for our exceptional customer service and quality of work. You can see from our reviews of our work and services that most customers are incredibly happy with QEW. It is also a vital part of our business that any issues raised by our customers are to be taken seriously. We have always strived to do the best work we can for our customers.

We were surprised to read your recent review in HomeStars.

When your bathroom reno was completed in 2018, you told us you were happy with the reno.
There were a couple small issues, i.e., shower door and countertop, but we addressed them to your satisfaction.

Regarding the staining of the stairs, we were told at the time the work was completed and paid for in full (early 2022) you were completely satisfied with the outcome of the work. So, once again, we were surprised to hear about your concerns.

I would genuinely appreciate it if you would kindly call me at 905 265.8860 so we can have the opportunity to discuss your concerns and to come up with a plan that satisfactorily meets your expectations.

Thank you. Saverio Patella

Flooring and Garden

Q.E.W. did an excellent job of removing carpets, sanding and staining the wood floors on the main level and replacing the carpet upstairs in our two-storey home. Some of our lawn was also replaced with flagstone and mulch. Everything looks great!
All work was completed in a very professional manner. It was a pleasure working with Saverio whose direction and expertise kept everything on schedule and with Tina who answered all our questions efficiently and in a friendly, welcoming manner.
I highly recommend Q.E.W. for any and all of your home renovations or projects.

Replacement of front steps.

Our front steps were in bad shape. QEW replaced them. Finished them when promised and very happy with the results. We had them done a few years ago by another company who did a poor job. QEW did an excellent job and also provided an extended warranty on their work. My neighbour also used them and is also very happy. Would recommend them for this type of work to anyone.

Replacement of Front Porch and Steps of House with Natural Stones

QEW Contracting Inc did an excellent job in removing the old, and deteriorating the cement-base interlocking "stones" and re-building the front deck and steps of our house with beautiful, long-living Natural Stones, which required skillfully work by QEW's worker. My wife and I were kept informed and consulted at each stage, such as the choice of colour tones of the involved. We are VERY pleased with QEW Contracting.

Two Floor Renovation and Driveway/Walkway/Patio

My first experience with QEW Contracting was a couple of years ago. I had Saverio and his team design my new front steps, interlocking around my driveway, interlocking walkway down the side of my home and a new back patio. The crew was incredible. Very professional, polite and hardworking. They went above and beyond to make me happy. The outside area was left completely clean at the end of each day. I still receive many compliments on the design and work done and I am happy to refer anyone who asks me to QEW.
So two years later when I decided to renovate 2 floors in my home I made no hesitation to call QEW. I met with Saverio and we discussed all aspects I was looking to complete which included: Installing all new exterior windows and doors and new trim, installing new hardwood flooring on the upper level, painting upper and main levels, creating and installing a brand new kitchen and pot lights throughout.
Saverio and Tina always kept me informed of what and when was happening in a very timely manner. This was approximately a three month reno and, honestly, I very quickly became overwhelmed; but, Saverio and all of his team were extremely helpful and finished everything on time with little to no downtime at all. My neighbours even commented that I must have a really good contractor. They had never seen a job run so smoothly and timely. When doing such a large reno small things can arise and Saverio and the team were able to handle everything competently. Saverio is a great man to work with and he strives to make his customers satisfied and happy every step of the way. And, to that end, his teams' work exemplifies him. I would recommend QEW and Saverio for any work a homeowner may need done. I am very happy with my results.

Replacing flagstones on external concrete stairs

The existing flagstones on the stairs had been improperly installed and had started to come lose. QEW was quick to come and give us an estimate for removing the old stones and installing new.
The work was carried out on schedule, and the result was excellent.
Very professional and pleasant company to deal with.
Highly recommended.

Front porch repair and upgrade

The Management of QEW Contracting did a wonderful job understanding our situation and providing for us a reasonable solution to our problem. Their workforce were efficient and courteous. I was extremely satisfied with the end result and would be more than happy to, if not insistent on, recommending them to any of my neighbours for projects they are looking to have done.

Kitchen, living room, dining room, den, laundry room, powder room, hallway renovations

We had planned for a major renovation to our main floor two storey home which we knew would be a large undertaking. From the onset of the initial discussions with Saverio and subsequent overview of the scope of the work it was completed within the timeframe as identified. In fact, there was more work required than originally thought and was masterfully undertaken with a variety of tradespeople who were respectful of our home and professional at all times. When one has plumbing, electrical, carpeting, kitchen designers, deconstruction, painters, flooring, drywall personnel working together to ensure the highest level of precision done the outcome exceeded our expectations with Saverio overseeing the total operations every step of the way. He was in constant communication with us for the three months of renovations that took place with much appreciation for his guidance and expertise to help us visualize the final outcome. A shout out to Tina who always kept us informed of all of the steps with her insights and direction as well. The before and after pictures speak volumes of the extent of the renovations that were undertaken by master workers. Each day our house was left clean and tidy and ready for the next days efforts. I would highly recommend this company for their wide variety of the scope of the work they were able to undertake and no request or question was left unanswered. Their ability to oversee the wide range of work was initially overwhelming as homeowners but with time and the positive relationships that were developed built a strong level of confidence knowing our decision to contract with QEW Contracting was the best decision on all levels. We heartily recommend Saverio and his team for any renovations that are needed by homeowners. We couldn't be happier with the results!
