WELCOME


When it comes to renovations, there is nothing we can’t do. We truly enjoy what we do and take pride in every aspect of our business – from meeting with clients, understanding their goals and creating a plan and budget for them; to hammering in the last nail, sponging down tile grout and cleaning up a worksite until it is spotless.

GD Contracting is a full-service general contracting company that officially began in 2000. Comprised of three partners – Gilbert Daponte, David Daponte, and Tony Vieira – with more than 70 years of experience in the construction industry, ranging from roofing, industrial, HVAC, electrical, plumbing, residential, tilework and carpentry. Together, we bring this wealth of experience to you, our clients, and every project that we take on.


The tool of trust…      I give thanks to the people that have helped us achieve our goals, thank you, your efforts have not gone unnoticed; you are the true soldiers of this project and the heart and soul of this great team that we are proud to call our own…Vince from Casa Loma See More

OUR MISSION


We bring your visions to life and refuse to cut corners or do shabby work in the process. We are perfectionists and promise to be partners with you from start to finish. We have heard the same things that you have about “contractors” and their reputations for being lazy, incompetent, foul mouthed and ripping their customers off. We are here to tell you that there is an alternative and that is GD Contracting.

We are honest, hardworking, skilled professionals who care about your home and our reputations. We do great work (please speak to our past clients) and want you to know that we will respect you, your home and everyone and everything in it. We personally enjoy the appreciation and relief that our customers show us when a project has finished exactly how they imagined, especially clients that have had previous bad experiences.

I just wanted to send a note to thank you and Dave and the whole GD Contracting crew for the excellent job on our renovation. From the simple garage you built for us years ago to the addition and basically whole house renovation we just finished, Anna and I can count on your team to get it done. The attention to detail in the kitchen and bathroom is fabulous and your tile installer was great. When we had some decisions on different options the way you laid things out to maximize our budget was spot on! I was sceptical at first when we discussed the 9' foot ceiling change in the kitchen but the step by step review and budget adjustment helped us to understand the choices and I'm glad we went for the change, I couldn't imagine it otherwise now. The finished product in the new bedroom has got all our friends wondering what they could be doing to build their own sanctuary from the day to day. Anyway, I have some thoughts on some additional work but right now we just want to enjoy, I'll be in touch when we ready to plan the next changes.

We hired GD Contracting services to complete a renovation to our kitchen and master ensuite. We would definitely recommend GD Contracting.  From the start, Gil was very organized and his quote was specific, itemized and uncomplicated. He was easy to get a hold of, and was on time for all of our meetings. Once the work started, Tony, Dave the rest of the team were on time, and managed to keep the house clean so my husband could live in it while the reno’s were being completed. They were friendly and approachable as new developments arose. Any changes we had were discussed were agreed upon ahead of time. We managed to stay within budget and the work was completed within our timeline. The finished project turned out amazing and we are very happy with the quality of work. I can't thank you guys enough. We love your work and everyone who comes in wants to know who did it. We have referred you to 4 people already (I hope that's ok...). You take care Gil and if ever you are in the area, please come by for a drink.Jill and John

Dear Gilbert & David Daponte, We would like to take this opportunity to “Thank you” for making our home renovation experiences a “great one”. You’ve transformed our out of date house into a beautiful place we can proudly call our home. You’ve brought creativity, vision and professionalism. Pride of workmanship is visible everywhere you look in our newly renovated home. We were also very pleased with the “can do” attitude that Gil and Dave had throughout this project. Not to mention that it was completed on time! We highly recommend GD Contracting Services to our family and friends and say with confidence that Gilbert and David deliver “great work”. Keep up the Great Work!

In July 2010 we underwent a massive renovation and addition in/to our home. We considered many contractors prior to picking GD Contracting. Initially they impressed us with their thorough estimate and the contract that they provided. As a big fan of Mike Holmes I was aware of the importance of documentation and what to be wary of with contractors. Not only were they very professional and knowledgeable but they were helpful with architectural design suggestions. Throughout the process they stayed in constant communication with us in regards to budget and any issues they came across. They assigned a working site supervisor whom was at our location daily. The addition is beautiful! We have since referred them to anyone whom we run across who is considering hiring a contractor. Our addition was approximately 1400 sq. ft; we also gutted and renovated the rest of the existing house (another 1400 sq ft.)With the exception of two rooms. They were able to see it through to completion in 4 months (3.5 months of which we were out of our home). They were fantastic! It is hard to find contractors you can trust and rely upon to stand by their work these days. Even over a year after completion I know I can count on them to fix any issues that may occur. Thank you Gil, Dave and Tony it was an absolute pleasure!

Good Morning Gil and Tony.  I wanted to let you know how happy we are with the repair work you did on our bay window!  We have had NO water pooling! With the temperatures changing so much, it has been a good test. Thank you again for the great work you did!  Emma loves her playroom too. Hope all is well. Cheers!

In 2010, my husband and I decided to extensively renovate our home. After much due diligence we decided to put our faith in GD Contracting. Gil and Dave Daponte came highly referred and exceeded our expectations. In the beginning, when we discussed our budget we didn't have enough money to complete absolutely everything on our wish list. However, when Gil sat down with us to discuss what he would be quoting he made numerous recommendations that created much needed savings.  He broke the reno's up into 2 phases so that the majority of the work could be completed. It gave us confidence that we would not have any repeated expenses for the next phase. His quote was exceptionally thorough and detailed. Each category i.e. plumbing was broken down into specifics giving us a very clear idea where the money was going. From demolition to the last touch ups I found Dave and his crew were professional and easy to work with. Dave made himself available to me to answer questions and address any concerns I had. Our renovations came in on budget and just slightly over of our move in date. A year after our reno's Dave came back to repair any building settlement. I will happily recommend GD Contracting and expect to continue to utilize Gil and Dave for other projects.

We have had the privilege to work with Gil DaPonte of GD Contracting and would like to express our most sincere thanks for some incredible work completed by him and his crew. Our most memorable project together without question was the interior restoration of the Billiard and Smoke rooms of Casa Loma. The quality and timely workmanship by Gil and his crew echo in those rooms for many years.

GD Contracting is a breath of fresh air to the contracting industry. This was my first experience using a contractor for a home renovation. I found Gil and his team professional, informative and highly skilled. He provided an itemized breakdown of the project, timelines and scope of the job. His team offered insightful suggestions and told us what to expect with our particular renovation. Once completed, we were thrilled with the job. I was pleased to work with such a competent and professional team. Undergoing renovations are never easy. GD Contracting made the process easier from beginning to end. I look forward to working with them on future projects.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank GD Contracting Services for making our home renovation experience a great one. You've transformed our - old out of date house - to a place we are proud to call "Home".  Your creativity, professionalism, pride of workmanship and integrity are what makes Gil and Dave a company I would highly recommend to family and friends.  Not to mention the great "can do" attitude which makes working with G&D that much more gratifying. If there is a better way to do it - Gil and Dave will let you know and you will love the result.  All the best to G&D.  Keep up the Great Work!

"My experience with GD Contracting Services Inc was a pleasant and valuable partnership. I needed extra guidance as my experience with renovations was quite limited. I found Gil and his team extremely helpful in this respect from the very beginning to the last day of the project. All of my concerns and requests were addressed timely and satisfactory. I would like to extend a special thanks to all employees, who assisted me through the entire process.

GD Contracting Services has been an excellent partner to all my projects.  The quality of work and workmanship to detail is what places this company ahead of others.  Their knowledge of construction and usage of better products has always been an asset. They are creative and do think outside the box for using space to its best advantage.  A work ethic we all wish for and business principles that are exemplary.  It is an honor to recommend this company, and I thank them for all their hard work.

Thank you so much for the great job you and your crew did with our two bathrooms.  These were in desperate need of updating and repair.  The problem now is that they are the two nicest rooms in the house.  The men were polite, friendly and tidy.  There was never a mess left in either the house or the work area of our garage.  We've shown off the rooms to all of our friends who have been over and have given your name and card out to some people.  Dave and I are so very happy with the outcome.  We'll be touch with you when we're ready to proceed with the next project for sure.

Buying an old home can be exciting as you see the potential of what it can be. We bought ours in 2005 and we knew exactly what we wanted. We sketched each room and sat with Gil and his team. Under time restraints, we worked closely with the team and they were able to make our vision a reality with very little time and no real drawings. They truly understood what we wanted and helped us make it happen under more than abnormal circumstances. Thanks for making our house a home Gil…

I have a story to share with you about my son.  Saturday evening he started playing with his black & deck tool set during which he announced that he is Tony and is fixing the basement.  He then told me I am Dave and he had me help him.  It was so sweet.  It looks like him seeing firsthand what you were building helped me understand what it actually looked like and how to use some of the tools.
