After losing our lovely home in the McDougall Creek wildfire, we chose ARG to help us move on with our lives and rebuild our forever home. The outstanding construction team guided us through the project from beginning to end. From Mandy helping us with details of our destroyed home for our insurance providers to Corinne guiding us through the plans for our new home, and Adam coming to bat for us with the insurance company, we felt supported by good people throughout the difficult and emotional process.
The staff and contractors on the job were all professional, courteous and available to chat and explain the processes they were attending to on the construction. We found the quality throughout to be exceptional. Dan was especially helpful as he oversaw our rebuild with attention to detail, positive interactions and timely responses to our questions and requests.
Adam, Dan and their team did a great job from beginning to the end of our rebuild. We absolutely love our beautiful new home and are grateful to ARG for bringing our vision to life!!
We highly recommend ARG for any of your construction projects.

Communication was clear and consistent, and everything was completed on time and within budget. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy and skilled contracting company.
Response from the owner:Victoria, thank you so much for your kind words we loved working on your project with you and hoping that we can work on something again in the future!
We've had the pleasure of working with ARG Contracting on multiple custom home projects across Kelowna and the Okanagan, and we can confidently say they’re one of the top builders in the region. As Pinnacle Roofing, we partner with many builders — but ARG stands out for their commitment to quality, their attention to detail, and their use of trusted, local trades. Their homes are not only beautifully designed, but built to last. It's always a smooth and professional experience working alongside their team. Highly recommend ARG to anyone looking to build a high-quality custom home.

I cannot recommend this company or these doors enough in fact I recommend them to all my clients that need doors simply because for price and quality what you're getting in my opinion is unmatched. Thank you for the kind words.
Working with ARG as subcontractors has been a really positive experience. They’re professional, organized, and always expect top-quality work for their clients. As well, their behind-the-scenes team is just as helpful and involved as those working on the front lines. It’s been great collaborating with them on projects.

The projects are always clean and well organized, timelines are always on track and I really just can’t say enough good things.
Response from the owner:Jordan! We love having you on our team, thanks for all your hard work. Looking forward to many more projects together.
ARG completed a reno for our house in lake country that turned out just like we and designer Blue Alice envisioned! I loved the app to keep tabs on progress. Adam was professional on the admin side and Dan was amazing and super responsive for the onsite. Loved their suggestions for improvements. When timing slipped that caused increased costs they owned it and covered additional costs. We also upgraded some equipment etc and they coordinated no questions and no additional fees. Also there has been small deficiencies and they jumped on and dealt w immediately. Do not hesitate to use them for your project!
Response from the owner:Andre, Thanks so much for the kind words they mean the world to us!! We loved working on your project and are proud of the way it turned out!
I will begin this review by stating that I would not hesitate to engage ARG again on another project. The entire team including ownership, staff, consultants and trade base were professional, accommodating, responsive and most importantly, HONEST.

We contracted ARG to complete a substantial renovation on our home. We had all new flooring, cabinets, plumbing, electrical, tile work, finishing, railing and HVAC. From the initial meeting with Adam, to the discussions with the designer Corrine (who was exceptional) and finally the start of construction all information was clear, concise and organized.

The construction team at ARG is outstanding. I have been in the Home Building industry for 30 years so I have some experience dealing with trades and contractors. I will say that Dan was one of the best that I have come across. Dan was organized, attentive, detailed, meticulous and always positive. He had a
'no problem' attitude and truly wanted us to be happy with the product. I would trust Dan with any construction project that I was undertaking again, without hesitation.

ARG does a great job from conception to completion. Billing is transparent and Adam is always willing to discuss in detail any item. We are very proud of the finished product that ARG provided on our home and we hope that the entire team at ARG is proud of what they delivered.

If you want a fantastic product, delivered on time, with the flexibility to make the project your own, don't hesitate to engage Adam and his team. They are a fist class organization that cares in a shared success for them and of course for you.
Response from the owner:Thank you so much for the kind words Bill, we are extremely pleased with the results of your project!
Great experience working with ARG! They actually listen to what you want and make it happen. 10/10 would recommend
Response from the owner:Thanks So much Madison, we loved working with you!!
Honestly, I had no idea what to expect, but ARG made everything so simple. Zero stress, great work, and just an all-around awesome experience!
Response from the owner:Thanks Abby zero stress is the only way!
We had a fantastic experience working with ARG Contracting. The quality of their work speaks for itself, and they truly care about delivering the best results. Would definitely work with them again!
Response from the owner:Thanks Cheryl, we loved working with you!
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!
ARG contracting did an amazing job. I had a waterline break which resulted in me having to remove the shower in my bathroom. I contacted ARG Contracting to replace the shower. They were fast efficient and the results were stunning as you can see from the photos. I would definitely recommend them if you’re looking to have professional efficient, and fabulous work done.
Response from the owner:Thanks Roxanne!
Response from the owner:Thanks shane, it was a pleasure to work with you!
Great company to deal with and top notch communication throughout the entire process. Highly recommend ARG to anyone looking to do a custom home build or a reno project.
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!!!
Been working with Adam and ARG Contracting for years. Top notch quality and attention to details.
Response from the owner:Thanks Eugene, been a pleasure to work with you!
Adam and his crew did a very professional job renovating my home. I particularly enjoyed how the project was completed on time, at a transparent and fair price, with great attention to detail.

I would recommend ARG Contractor to anyone interested in home renovations in Kelowna/Lake Country
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!
ARG did a basement/bathroom renovation this spring for us we couldn't be happier. Adam was super accommodating and responsive. Overall we are very pleased with the end result. The tradesmen were also very professional and did an amazing job.
Response from the owner:Thank you, Lucy. It was a pleasure to work with you!

Response from the owner:Thanks so much, Jeff. It was a pleasure working with you.
We were fortunate to have ARG Contracting recommended to us for the renovation of our kitchen and the addition of a laundry room and mudroom. We can't speak highly enough of the absolutely beautiful, top-quality work done by Adam's team and the various contractors they used. We would definitely use them again for any future renovation work.
