Laframboise Construction

We hired Laframboise in February 2021 for renovations on a seven plex building in Napanee. We needed a professional crew to renovate two apartments completely, two additional bathrooms and update the electrical/plumbing. The contract was for $250k+ and was supposed to span a total of 2 to 3 months.As it turned out, it was a huge mistake on our part choosing Laframboise. We have worked with multiple contractors as we have several commercial and residential properties, but Laframboise is the largest company we've hired thus far. We were told that they had a 53 person crew with many trades. We knew we were paying a premium but we wanted a large company to come in and tackle this project quickly and efficiently.Our research showed Laframboise received the 'top 3 builder' award in 2020, high star review rating, plus beautiful photos and drone footage of their work, etc. We trusted their Promise We’ll only work with the best materials available and build to last a lifetime. We will never compromise quality for time and give my clients realistic schedules that accommodate their lives. We strive for honest customer service

I waited about 8 months before posting, we had a pretty big job and I wanted to be fair in my assessment.Most Important - I would recommend Laframboise and work with them again.The Great:Laframboise staff (project manager and the two employees who did the bulk of the work) were fantastic to work with. Polite, accommodating and very tidy.At the end of the day they got us what we wanted (we had a pretty specific brief).Most of the work was done to a pretty high level of quality (see the not so great" for the odd instance where we weren’t fully satisfied)Overall we got a full basement appt. new kitchen and new bath so a fair amount of work that got done.The not so great:Some bad surprises with sub-contractor work (mostly rectified by Laframboise)Schedule did drag on past expectations between 4-6 weeksLittle bit of price surprise (not much and we came to agreement without conflict)Sealant used in bathroom and kitchen washes away over time (note this was not because of the application

Due to Covid our office at Levac Propane needed some renovations to keep our drivers and staff safe. We added a separate entrance for our drivers and created a new room(unfinished) that 2 interior doors were added to. Dealing with Laframboise from start to finish was simple and easy. I would highly recommend the crew at Laframboise!

Mark was super easy to work with. Although the work was not up to my standards. I am pretty happy with the end results, having to have them come multiple times to fix work that had been done was a bit frustrating. Though issues in the photos were quickly rectified ( thanks to the rapid response from Project manager mark)I feel like it was sloppy work that should have been done right the first timeEdit of review. Upon further inspection I'm finding more thing I'm unhappy with. Railings still cut unevenly. Stair treads different sizes which I don't know how it passed inspection. Overall sloppy workmanship . I would not recommend this company. one month later had to have someonecomeback to repair the top tread becaus it was alreadyfalling Off.

Started off with talking with Alex to do the appraisal. Alex came over quickly and we looked at all possible options for my deck building which presented some challenges. Once we agreed on a plan, a quote was provided and dates were provided for a possible completion date. Turned out they started before and Frank was the assigned person to build the deck. End results were awesome and done exactly the way we wanted it done! We maintained very positive communication throughout the process and am very happy with it. I would not hesitate to contract Laframboise for future project. Thank You!

We had a renovation done in our home. The quality of work was excellent. COVID put our schedule behind but that was fine. Not their fault. The problem comes when you ask them for a play by play of how and where your money was spent. They give you an estimate which is not an estimate. It’s what you will pay. Oh no, no, no. If prices go down due to changing countertop materials or you use less flooring or you remove a job from your estimate. It doesn’t matter. They will still charge you the estimate price.Also while I was dealing with them it seemed like half their staff quit that I was originally working with. Something fishy there. I’m just not sure. Great quality job done. Very pricy and money breakdown is not all above board. If they were more transparent I could have rated them higher.

It's been a pleasure working with Laframboise Construction - their team is super professional yet easy going. Our project manager Mark has been nothing but outstanding since we started using them in September, and have already booked another 2 renovations with this crew. For anyone looking to get work in the Kingston area, this is your company - we will be using them time and time again!

Had a great experience with Laframboise Construction. They provided me with a free quote on the same day I called them. Their work was fairly priced, efficient, and of the highest quality. On top of that, all of their workers conducted themselves in a highly professional manner. Would 100 percent recommend!

I am in the process of building a house with Laframboise and I couldn’t be more happy with what I have seen so far! Their team is quick to answer any questions and they are always very helpful and professional. We have made more than a few changes to our plans so far, and their team went above and beyond to accommodate our needs. I highly recommend Laframboise Construction!! Their office dog is adorable too!
