What recent reviews say

Reviewers split sharply: strong praise for completed bathrooms, flooring, and painting work, but repeated complaints about slow communication, project delays stretching weeks beyond estimate, and customers forced to chase staff for updates. Some praised on-time completion and crew professionalism; others report significant overcharges, incomplete material planning, and service staff who avoid callbacks or block customers altogether.

Based on limited recent reviews, so treat this as low-confidence.

Praised for
  • on-time completion when it happens
  • quality finish on small projects
  • helpful customer service at intake
  • professional crew demeanor
Watch-outs
  • poor communication and follow-up
  • project delays and lack of coordination
  • premium pricing for simple work
  • staff unavailability or rudeness
  • heavy customer involvement required for project management
delayed-projectpoor-communicationoverpricedprofessional-crewon-time-completion
Best for: homeowners tackling small, well-scoped projects (painting, flooring) with realistic timelines and patience for follow-up.
Think twice if: you need strict project management, reliable scheduling, or timely communication; delays and customer responsibility for coordination are common complaints.

Strengths

  • completed projects praised for quality finish
  • crews show up on time when scheduled
  • staff helpful at initial quote stage
  • work under budget on some jobs

Worth knowing

  • Named staff: Christine (intake), Dexter (painting), Fabio (staining/painting), Aldo (custom carpentry)
  • Services praised: bathroom renos, hardwood flooring, painting, staircase staining, skylight repair
  • Services complained about: plumbing diagnostics ($297+HST for 5-min visit), tile work requiring rework, material over-ordering
  • One reviewer reported contractor demanded a $1,000-per-review non-disclosure agreement after 4-month project
  • Partial refund offered in at least one case (project management fees)

One reviewer called the company awesome, but another raised serious safety concerns about reckless driving by a company vehicle. Evidence is thin given only two reviews across eight years.

Lakeside Contracting Co Ltd

3.5(15)✓ Google-verified

Lakeside's crews deliver fast, efficient work on site: a Sault Ste. Marie emergency snow clear and an Oakville intersection job both earned specific praise for speed and coordination. However, multiple reviewers cited dangerous driving by company vehicles and unprofessional behaviour that overshadow technical competence. Consider their work quality against a pattern of safety and conduct concerns. Payment disputes with subcontractors and poor judgment by staff have left reviewers questioning whether to trust the company.
