It's been very difficult the last few seasons to find contractors willing to do small jobs. I was extremely pleased that Stephen was able to help on such a short turn-around. 4 days after our initial contact, concrete pour & finish for 10' x 10' shed pad was complete. The Self Build Canada crew were on-time, friendly, knowledgeable and worked quickly. Results were professional, with an eye for detail that made me very happy. I can't say enough about Stephen... knowledge, professionalism, integrity, attention to detail, and excellent communicator. He even offered helpful advice on finishing the remainder of my projects. Genuinely good guy. Couldn't ask for more from a contractor. 5 stars.

The best-ever contractor! Starts early & worked late. On time & on budget. Highest quality of craftsmanship. Beyond impressed with Stephen O’Keefe, his partner Fergus, and the remarkable stone masons (who are truly artists) Kevin, Dean & Brock. We live in Toronto and have worked with several general contractors while owning our home, for the past 20 years. Our experience with Stephen, Fergus and their team, was the very best. We are already planning our next project with them. Highly recommend!

Stephen is the man and his crew is fantastic. The quality of their works was fantastic, even better than I expected and faster too. Stephen as quick to answer his email for a consultation, he came by the same day to have a look at quote it out and gave me a fair price on the spot. We agreed upon on a date and then when my schedule changed he bumped by work to be done the net day. Turnover time and workmanship was truly top notch. I have nothing but great things to say about this business and if I ever need any masonry done again I wouldn't even consider going anywhere else.

Enlarged my doorframe for me. Responsive communication, a man of his word, did what he was going to and answered all of my questions throughout and took pictures before he sealed anything up. I would use his services again and appreciate the straight and honest approach
