What our clients say
★★★★★
“We at Millstream Manor have called on Maxx Contracting several times in recent years. In all cases they have provided reliable and affordable service. There was always full explanation of how the job was going, and proper clean-up was an important part of every job. We have been very satisfied and would not hesitate in calling on them in the future.”

“I would highly recommend Maxx Contracting. I had them build a retaining wall in a very difficult area to get at in Departure Bay. They did a superb job, in a timely fashion, and they have more than enough new or near-new equipment to do the job. You will not go wrong by having them do your project for you.”

“You guys dug up my waterline on Fitzwilliam St. today. Tonight when I returned home from work I had a look at the job. Good work! The driveway you had to dig up looks great. You were here when you said you would be. You got the job done. The price was reasonable. I will have no hesitation recommending you to friends or calling you back if I need your services again.”

“After 17 years in my house it was time for a new front deck. Very special thanks to Steve and Dave for an extraordinary job. I LOVE my new front porch, and it makes my whole house look so much better too. I am already looking forward to my new deck in the backyard. You will have all my business now. You guys are #1.”
