What do recent reviews say?

Nearly every review praises Vanguard's professionalism, punctuality, and friendly crew. Bathrooms, flooring, railings, and tile work consistently earn praise for craftsmanship and attention to detail. Amin is named as a standout point of contact. Prices are called fair and affordable, projects finish on time, and crews clean daily.

One stark exception: a customer who paid over $20k for hardwood floor and baseboard work reports corners lifted immediately, poor repair attempts, unresponsiveness to callbacks, and an undisclosed $4,000 surcharge added at project end. Reviewers of that negative post suggest caution about authenticity of positive reviews, though the pattern across 84 five-star reviews and named staff suggests real experience.

Recent shift: One significant negative review 7 months ago stands apart from an otherwise consistent pattern of five-star bathroom and flooring work. No recent shift in sentiment across the past 4 weeks; latest reviews remain positive.

FAQ

Do you charge extra once the project has started?
Most reviews cite fair pricing and 'no surprises,' but one customer reports an undisclosed $4,000 surcharge added at project end for flooring and baseboard work. Request a signed final price quote before work begins.
How quickly do you respond to callbacks if something needs fixing?
Most customers praise quick responses and problem-solving. However, one customer reports the crew stopped answering calls after flooring repairs failed. Check responsiveness terms in your contract.
Will the crew clean up after each day?
Yes, crews clean up daily and remove garbage, as noted in multiple reviews.

Most work arrives on time and leaves the yard spotless. Crews explain what they are doing, catch hidden issues, and push back on shortcuts. Daryl, Kyle, Marc, and Brandon are named for spotting problems others missed or caring visibly about the job. Gino and Mitchell give on-site estimates with photos. A handful of concerns: one siding job allegedly violated building code by using wrong materials; seasonal work has slipped badly for one customer; a salesman asked an offensive personal question and later pushed hard on a passed quote. Mitchell and Gino lead estimates on site. Crews like David's, Alberto's, and the eavestrough pair Brandon and Joshua get praise for both workmanship and politeness. Jesse handles scheduling. Cleanup is treated as standard, not an extra. The business claims to serve Ottawa, Gatineau, Barrhaven, Greely, Kanata, Manotick, Nepean, and Orleans since 2008.
