Jamie from Etobicoke

We hired Beckett Construction to finish our basement. Our 100 year old semi had been wet and mouldy for as long as we had owned it and the time came. We underpinned the basement then hired Clayton and his team to finish (we later found out that Clayton uses the same underpinner as we hired so that was reassuring). Our basement was about 600 sq/ft and we started the project with some pretty specific requests and budget constraints that we raised with Clayton from the start and he continued to remember through the duration of the project. Not only allowing us to finish our basement to a level above anything we had ever imagined, but in the process, we also updated the flooring throughout, the kitchen cabinet faces, and repainted the entire house including some pretty complicated plaster lath repairs that saved us from having to redo the entire upper levels drywall along some significant structural work and floor leveling that we did not anticipate. Throughout the project, Clayton was extremely professional and responsive. We live out of town so we loved that he would share social media stories of our project daily so we could keep track. He provided us with detailed cost analysis throughout the entire project and gave us regular options to save money or find better solutions which also allowed us to get even more additional work added in like a new roof. I have renovated a couple of houses in the past and this was without question the best experience and result to date. We will not only recommend Clayton highly to anyone who asks but we will only use him for future projects. His team is very thoughtful and cares about the end product which I find to be rare among contractors in Toronto and very reassuring. Their work is spectacular as you will see from the photos i have included.

Do not hire this guy. Peter is not a good contractor nor is he good to deal with. We renovated our house and thought Peter would be worth a try as his price was right. He expected lots of money early on and was the slowest and least productive contractor we dealt with through the entire process then when we were trying to complete the project he became unavailable for 5 months and continually told us he was coming then didn't show up. We have since hired a new electrician and a lot of the work he did for us was not to code and had to be fixed. Luckily we only paid him for the work he completed so we didn't lose more than a bunch of time and a bit of money fixing his mistakes. When I tried to research him online I couldn't find anything so hopefully this helps others avoid these hassles. I also know of another of his clients who experienced the exact same issues.
