General Contractor in Mississauga, ON

I contacted EDG to install Laminate flooring. While he finished the work in extended timing ,he created a poor installation by laying laminated wood below the channel. So the sliding door is not moving. He knew this problem but while trying to contact him he is not communicating. I paid him full amount in anticipation he will correct his wrongdoing.

People should aware of the above fact as he is not at all TRUSTWORTHY leave aside QUALITY.

Only thing I noticed he is good in sweet communication to earn money.

I hired EDG Contracting to work on my bathroom and basement and I was extremely satisfied with is services. Elie was extremely helpful/knowledgeable on working out all the details of the project. His advice got me in the right direction to choose layout and finishing touches for the bathrooms/basement. He was efficient; and professional. Thanks to Elie, I now have a beautiful bathroom and a basement that I enjoy everyday. Thank you

EDG Contracting was contracted to pour a patio slab in the front of my house June 6, 2011. The concrete slab was poured but when the slab was finished there were many sharp stones on the surface. Elie, the owner, was contacted and he said that he would grind it down and would ensure that the patio was to our satisfaction. In the interim, we decided that we did not like the finished look of the concrete and asked Elie's advice on what to put down on the concrete to make it complement our patterned concrete walkway better. He suggested slate or porcelain. So, we opted to go with slate and I told him not to bother wasting the manpower to grind down the concrete slab if, in fact, we were laying down slate. He thanked me and offered to buy the slate for me at his cost from Olympia Tile. When he actually came out and looked at the concrete slab on Friday, June 17, 2011, he himself was appalled at how bad the slab looked. He initially said he would only charge me $300.00 for labour but then waved his labour cost as he said he could not charge me based on how bad the slab looked. He showed me three different samples of slate that he said could be used for outdoors and I chose one. Elie showed up on Saturday and started to lay down the slate. He came back to finish the job on Monday, June 20, 2011 and it was while doing this job that I asked him again about the price of the slate and its use for outdoors. I had been in touch with Olympia Tile on the Sunday because I started having suspicions about the price (as another tile setter told me that I was paying too much money for the slate). Olympia Tile stated that the slate was $7.13 a square foot and he told me it was $7.98. They also said that they do not sell any slate that is suitable for outdoor use. When I quesioned Elie about this he was infuriated stating that he was not ripping me off and that Olympia Tile didn't know what they were talking about. So, I asked to have a copy of the invoice so that I could see what I was paying for. Elie showed up at my house on Tuesday, June 21, 2011 with his girlfriend. He handed me an Olympia Tile invoice in the amount of $1,687.40 which is what he initially told me the price was. As he had become so hostile on the Monday and had sent me nasty emails on the Tuesday morning before showing up to my house, I paid the balance owing. After he left I noticed that the font on the right of the invoice did not match the font on the left. I called Olympia Tile who asked me for the invoice number. When I gave them the invoice number they kept telling me two numbers were missing. Elie had purposely blocked out the numbers so I couldn't track the invoice. They found the invoice through his telephone number and confirmed that he paid $4.48 per square foot for the tile. It was confirmed that he falsified the invoice that he gave me. The invoice also clearly states, "Please note customer was informed that the slate is not recommended for exterior use." Elie has been contacted many times but he insists I am trying to rip him off. He has installed slate that is not for exterior use and he falsified an invoice and overcharged me. He lied about the whole project. In addition, when he poured the concrete he did not protect my vinyl siding with a tarp and now all the vinyl siding has to be replaced and the approximate cost thus far is $2,000.00. In addition, there is dried concrete all over my driveway and patterned concrete walkway. Elie has been contacted numerous times but he refuses to do anything about it and, in his last email to me, states that I owe him $2,500.00. He tells me that I tried to get something for free.

All customers should be very cautious with EDG Contracting and Mr. Elie Doummar. He is a sweet-talker, so be very, very careful. He has lied to me and will not own up to what he has done. He does not guarantee his work. His girlfriend is also part of his little schemes, so don't be fooled by her either.
