The Anything Guys

We were very glad we had Tom and his crew along for the ride for what turned out to be a pretty extensive and complicated basement renovation. We moved interior walls, put in a bathroom, replaced the exterior insulation and drywall, and put in new flooring and electrical. Our old house is full of surprises, and a few issues cropped up through the renovation. Communication from Tom was excellent throughout. He was always straightforward with us about what needed to be done, and creative about finding ways to make them happen within our budget. Prices and timelines were discussed openly and fairly. There were a couple of small touch-ups that needed doing after the project was complete and they have been quickly taken care of. We would definitely use TAG again for a big home reno.

TAG renod our original 1992 ensuite down to the studs and moved plumbing. Contractors were great, came when they said they would and did a great job. Super precise and tidy. Tom was super flexible with changes I made in the fly. Cost, scope and schedule were pretty close to the original estimate. This bathroom is the nicest room in my house! Its truly an Oasis. Weve had TAG do a mini make over in our kitchen and they are scheduled to clean up our patio n around the pool in the back yard.

This contractor works to fully understand and achieve the clients needs and wants, is flexible with changes and provides very high quality in workmanship, using the best tradespeople. Communication is smooth, and all staff and trades are courteous and very pleasant to work with.

We hired The Anything Guys to do a full bathroom reno at our home. This included, tear down to the studs/joists, moving plumbing, everything. This project was slated for 3 weeks, but given COVID we expected some delays along the way. No Problem. The project took 9 months to complete. (It wasn’t done well and I will be doing the finishing fixes myself, don't want them in the house anymore). The project didn't go well at all. Flooring was installed un-level, which meant my new vanity and toilet were not level. The tub was installed un-level which led to water running along the shower edge and onto the floor. Drywall wasn’t mudded correctly which led to cracking at all the joints. The shower niche wasn’t tiled well at all. The edging was cut and installed and you could see the teeth marks from the snips they used. The tiles were crooked and all the tiles they cut to fit in place had scuffing from the cutter they used. (Permanent, won’t come off the tiles).

All this and I was blamed for not stating that I wanted my floors level (are you kidding), the bathtub was installed un-level because it was a manufacturer defect (verified that it wasn't by contacting the manufacturer and also I had to cut a hole in the wall myself to show they installed it wrong). I was told I would have to pay for the fix to this issue initially, has since been resolved. That never should have been talked about as it was done incorrectly by the contractor, not my fault.

When they came to fix the cracking in the drywall they caulked it with white caulking against my off-grey wall paint. I brought this up and they acknowledged it had to be painted over but they simply didn’t do that. They also didn’t replace the trim that was damaged by the water that leaked from my tub like they said they would, they simply used drywall compound to fix the parts that fell off from being so water damaged. I will have to purchase and replace the trim myself as its loose and soft from the water damage.

Tom is a salesmen and came in with the lowest quote for the project and based off the reviews we had read of the company decided to proceed. Big mistake. Pay a little extra to get real professionals to do the work. There was nothing professional about the work that was done here. Amateur at best.

 All this to say that my 3 week project took 9 months to produce an almost complete result and we would rather fix the remaining issues ourselves than deal with this company anymore. Don’t worry I had to pay full price for all this nonsense as well. No remorse from Tom and co.

Stay Away.

TAG put in a walk-in bathtub and the rest of the bathroom fixtures plus relocated my laundry and put in a back up drain. It is so nice to have a granny friendly bathroom on a main floor. I can even get grants from the city and province to help pay for it. The fellows were friendly and really listened to what I wanted. They were able to figure out things when there were problems and went above and beyond. Will recommend them to friends who want to stay in their homes.

Tom and his team did a great job. They were on time and on budget. We are very pleased with the results. Also easy to work with, we always found a way to work out details.

We contracted TAG to replace our driveway and walkway pavers with new. Job was booked in Aug. 2020 for completion in Oct. However due to the unprecedent COVID demand for landscaping materials and labour we were advised our project may be delayed to 2021. To our delight Tom and Amy worked tirelessly to secure the required pavers that required deliveries from more than one supplier source.
The work was completed before the end of Oct. with the help of 2 sub's Tom hired to complete the job before winter, with sod work completed in May 2021. We are very happy with the quality of the work. Tom provided sound advice and options when trying to decide on our design and choice of products. I highly recommend TAG and would not hesitate to use them for other projects.

Our contractor, The Anything Guys, was amazing. The work was done on time and on budget, which is almost unheard off in the industry. This is even more amazing in the current environment.

We had the whole main floor redone. The project included new flooring new kitchen cabinets, better lighting, and work around the fireplace. We also had the whole floor repainted. It also included, on the recommendation of the contractor, redesigning the kitchen. We eliminated a pensiula running north-south and building an island running east-west. It has made the kitchen far more functional.

The contractor moved from one phase to the other almost seamlesssly and efficiently. There was very little downtime.

I would strongly recommend The Anything Guys (TAG).

This company provided great service. Everyone was super nice and friendly. They showed up when they said they would, and completed on time. They did great work! I would definitely recommend this company.

Excellent service all around. Where there were unavoidable delays due to Covid shortages, we were kept fully informed. Their staff were highly professional, competent and we are both very happy with our beautiful new deck and patio.
