We have worked with Adam and his team on a few projects and have had an excellent experience. He’s very knowledgeable and good with our clients, and the project outcome is always well built and beautiful!
Response from the owner: Kara, we Love working with you!! Your design mind is exceptional and everything is meticulously planned out! Thanks sooo much!
When you see all the 5 star reviews, it may seem like it just can't be possible. No contractor can be that good, right? Here's why I think everyone gives Adam and his team always seem to get the highest ratings. Working with Adam and his team was fantastic. Communication was great. They made the process easy for us. This is important with a job as large as ours, as there are many unknowns, and often require you to pivot as the project progresses. With Adam, it's not a question of whether or not problems will pop up - they do on every construction job - it's how you handle them. Every time an obstacle was put in front of them, whether it was a budget constraint, or a surprise in the reno, a delay in a finishing product, they were able to deal with it effectively, and the end result was very impressive. Lastly, a contractor really is only as good as his word. A lot of things get said on the job site about what's possible, doable, affordable, etc - and with Adam, his word was rock solid. If he said he'd get something done, it would be done. Highly recommend.
Response from the owner: Mark thank you so much for the kind review! It was a pleasure to be a part of your project and so happy with the way your home turned out!
Awesome group to work with. ARG Contracting is an organized quality builder that has excellent onsite supervision and cares for delivering and excellent home.

Response from the owner: Thanks Jenn!
ARG Contracting recently completed a substantial renovation of our home that included a kitchen, 1 half bath, 2 full baths, a stairwell, and new flooring, doors, baseboard, paint, lighting, electrical, and millwork throughout the home.The renovation commenced in April of 2024 and was substantially complete by mid-July, which is fairly remarkable considering we didn't even have finalized design drawings in hand until the second week of May.During the renovation, we visited the home frequently to check on the work, we found the personnel working for ARG Contracting (and their subcontractors) to be very pleasant and professional, answering any questions we had, always maintaining a clean work site, and being respectful of our community and neighbours.As the work was reaching substantial completion, ARG Contracting, especially Dan, exerted considerable effort in making sure everything was absolutely perfect.From a cost perspective, we ended up exactly where we expected to be. We found ARG Contracting to be competitive in their pricing and communicative when it came to making any decisions that would have impacted cost or schedule.We would encourage anyone considering renovations or a new home build to reach out to Adam, his passion for customer service during our introductory meeting is what ultimately convinced us to go with ARG Contracting, and this same passion remained present throughout construction.Honorable mention for Dan who did an amazing job coordinating all the trades, holding them accountable, checking their work, and personally taking care of so many details to ensure that the work was completed to virtual perfection.ARG Contracting will be back this fall to complete a master bath renovation project for us.Thanks Adam and Dan!
Response from the owner: Jason, thanks so much for putting your trust in ARG! We are grateful that we got to be a part of your project and it turned out absolutely amazing!
ARG Contracting is currently in the process of building our house and it’s been an absolute pleasure dealing with Adam and his Team!They are very informative about everything that goes on and they always make sure that we are in the loop with everything. Adam has gone above and beyond with everything.Adam even helped us with the insurance company claims, as unfortunately our house burnt down in the West Kelowna fire last year.I strongly recommend ARG to anyone looking to build a house or looking to do renovations as they will exceed your expectations.
Response from the owner: Thanks Mike, its been a pleasure working with you and Mo, cant wait to see the final product!!!

Response from the owner: Chris, your project was great to get to be a part of and your place has turned out extremely beautiful! Looking forward to doing any new projects you have coming up.
ARG recently completed a renovation of our ensuite bathroom. Adam kept in constant communication till the project started, then Dan took over and ran everything on our project. We knew we were in good hands with Dan after meeting him the first day. He looked after all the trades, any concerns we had he addressed immediately and he was in constant communication about what was going on. We really appreciated the detailed billing so we knew where all the money went. We have a few other projects in mind and ARG will be the only ones we will use.
Response from the owner: Thank you so much for choosing ARG for your custom bathroom renovation!
