We have a large property, so we decided to build a granny flat to rent out. A friend recommended I try Procompare to get into contact with some local house contractors. I had an overall excellent experience. The staff at Procompare was very helpful and friendly. I initially received only one quote, but they went out of their way to secure me more. The contractors I was in contact with were all extremely professional, and very good with communication.

Samuel is one of five house contractors who gave us a quote for the remodel of our house, and we could not be more pleased with our choice. Samuel is a professional in every sense of the word; great communication skills and really knows his business His workers were all respectful of our home and cleaned up after themselves. Our new home is beautiful, and we anticipate many years of enjoying it!

I need sanding, painting, electrical done in the garage. I need a floating shelf put in and potentially dry wall to hide pipes. In the outside bathroom, we need to add a basin and potentially new toilet cistern (base is fine). I need tiling done on the floor too as well as the door fixed and lockable, walls painted and poly filled.
I need to convert a double garage into 2 rooms and break through the wall to make a passage into our flat. Garage is about 6mx6m. Garage doors need to be walled up with a window in. Floor tiled. Need to remove some kitchen counter and move the stove as well as remove some dry wall in the current flat.
I’d like to mount a TV on the wall above the fireplace. The heat won’t be an issue since we never use the fireplace and it doesn’t get very hot. I’d also like to install a clothing rail inside one of the cupboards, we’ll confirm the exact placement soon. Lastly, I’d like to add a sliding (railing) door in one of the doorways.
