Trafford General Contracting Reviews

We recently hired Trafford General Contractor for a major renovation in our home and couldn't be happier with the results. The project involved moving a patio door, adding a new window, demolishing existing flooring, installing new hardwood floors, updating casing and trim, and completing electrical work throughout the space. The quality of workmanship was excellent from start to finish. Every aspect of the renovation was completed professionally and with great attention to detail. Communication was outstanding throughout the project, and we always knew what was happening and what to expect next. Richard, the owner, was especially easy to work with. He listened to our ideas, worked with us to find solutions, and was responsive whenever we had questions or concerns. It's clear that he takes pride in his work and cares about customer satisfaction. We would not hesitate to recommend Trafford General Contractor to anyone looking for a reliable, professional contractor who delivers high-quality results.

Richard and his team did a fabulous job on my bathroom renovation. From start to finish it was a very positive experience.. Liked the detailed estimate, and very transparent when changes occurred. Trafford GC has a very organized and competent team: office staff, vendors, trades, even a cleaning team at the finish. The schedule was followed and any issues were dealt with quickly. Richard also personally made sure things were completely finished and customer was happy! Would definitely hire Trafford GC for any future renovations.

I worked with Trafford General Contracting on a client’s home renovation project in Ottawa and had a great experience. Their team was organized, efficient, and professional, making the process smooth and well managed. My design concepts were executed thoughtfully and aligned well with the original vision, and communication throughout the project was clear and easy. The team was personable and reliable. I would happily recommend Trafford General Contracting to clients or colleagues looking for a dependable contractor.

We are very glad we picked Richard Trafford as the contractor for our extensive ‘down to the studs and joists’ bathroom renovation. Richard himself, his own excellent crew and all the trades involved were informative, clean, punctual, pleasant, and superior craftspeople. The job was carefully planned and progressed as promised under Richard’s watchful eye. With his guidance all the ‘known unknowns’ and surprises encountered were dealt with with a minimum of drama, and Richard explained the various options with great patience and good humour. Communication with Rachel in the office was prompt and efficient, aided by an impressive app portal. Richard and his crew were such nice people that we were actually a bit sad when the job was done. We will certainly hire Trafford General Contracting for our next renovation project, and in the meantime we will enjoy our perfect bathroom.

Trafford General Contracting did an excellent job on our kitchen, powder room, and hallway renovation. The scope of work included demolition, electrical, plumbing, painting, flooring, shoemolding, lighting, mudding, and final cleaning, and every phase was completed with a high level of professionalism and care. All work was completed according to the agreed schedule, which we greatly appreciated. The contractor made frequent visits to the site for quality control, ensuring everything was done correctly and to a high standard. Communication was excellent—questions sent by email were answered promptly and clearly, which made the entire process smooth and stress-free. The finished spaces look great, and the attention to detail really shows. We are very satisfied with the results and would confidently recommend Trafford General Contracting for their reliability, workmanship, and strong customer service.

Trafford General Contracting recently completed a comprehensive renovation of our kitchen and key areas of our main floor, and we are delighted with the results. From the outset, their professionalism and organizational acumen were evident. They coordinated a team of skilled subcontractors specializing in framing, drywalling, hardwood and ceramic tile flooring, electrical work, plumbing, custom cabinetry, and stone countertop installation. Each phase of the project was planned and executed in a logical, well-structured sequence, ensuring smooth progress. The subcontractors demonstrated craftsmanship and courtesy, consistently delivering high-quality work. Throughout the renovation, Richard and Rachael maintained open and responsive communication, providing regular updates and promptly addressing our questions and concerns. Their attentiveness and commitment to excellence were truly reassuring. While the project spanned several months and presented a few unforeseen challenges, Trafford General Contracting navigated each issue with poise and resourcefulness, striving for the best possible outcome. The transformation of our home is nothing short of remarkable. The newly renovated space exudes modern elegance and functionality, with enhanced flow, openness, and utility. The aesthetic refinement achieved far exceeded our initial expectations, breathing new life into our living environment. We are grateful to Trafford General Contracting for their dedication, expertise, and integrity. Their work has elevated our home in ways we could not have imagined, and we recommend them to anyone seeking a renovation partner.

Trafford renovated our ensuite bathroom which was in its original 1987 configuration and the result is transformational. It was a pleasure working with them throughout with Richard Trafford the owner, Rachel in the office, Kim and Jordan in Richard's team and subcontractors Richard brought in - everybody was positive and hardworking. Any delays were as a result of our decision making speed and sometimes lead times on the items that we chose, otherwise the schedule was maintained. We were given options a lot of the time rather than them just pressing ahead. Every project has its problems, particularly in bathrooms, in our case it was rot and mould found when the old shower stall was demolished, a collapsing bulkhead because of the way that the original builder had done the framing, and a leak in the new rough-in plumbing. The only extra costs to us over the original estimate was to address the first two issues and the plumbing leak and damage were fixed promptly at no cost to us. We would use Trafford again.

I recently hired Trafford General Contracting to build a wet bar and storage closet in the basement, and I couldn’t be more pleased with the results! First, they took the time to thoroughly explain the project scope, timeline, and what to expect along the way. Communication was always clear, and any questions I had were answered promptly. When it came to the actual work, the craftsmanship was top notch. The wet bar looks amazing and the storage closet is exactly what I needed. I’m extremely satisfied with the finished product, and I would absolutely hire them again for future projects. I highly recommend Trafford General Contracting!

We used Trafford General Contracting to renovate our laundry room and could not have asked for a better experience. Richard provided invaluable advice in the planning phase which really improved the final product. When the construction did start it was a clean and efficient process - we never had any doubt things were on track. We will absolutely use Trafford again.

We had a very positive experience with Trafford General Contracting. The project was on time, organized and everything was communicated from pre-start date to completion. All subcontractors were polite and respectful, and the admin support team were responsive and made things easy. No questions were left unanswered, and we are happy with the end result.

I can't say enough about Richard and his team. They were all very professional, courteous and efficient. Every trade was exceptional and we have had no issues. Trafford completed our guest bath and ensuite back to back without delays. The final products are amazing and the whole family is enjoying the refreshed spaces. We would not hesitate to recommend them.
