"Professional. Skilled. Meticulous. Creative. Fair. José and the And-Rod team are all of these and more. The work they did building our house in Tobermory was exceptional. They had very tight timelines and worked hard though a very wet spring and summer. Their communication was excellent when compared to others in the industry. They took absolute pride in their work and it showed in every detail. The very few deficiencies that occurred during the job were usually caught and fixed by them before we even had to turn our minds to them. They worked seamlessly with the other trades and brought everyone’s game up through the quality of their work. Each person on the team was kind, polite and professional. They were also funny and good spirited. I loved the time I got to spend working with and around these guys. In my day job I come into contact with and hear about many, many contractors. I can say with confidence And-Rod is top tier."

My partner and I recently built a home with the team at AND-ROD and had a great experience. Their entire team is kind and professional and truly wants to see your vision come to life. They are exceptional builders and did an amazing job. Building a home is always stressful with unforeseen challenges but the AND-ROD team is always there to guide you through the process professionally and thoughtfully with excellent communication. Our home was completed on time and on budget despite the many challenges COVID presented. We certainly would recommend building with AND-ROD!

"I would highly recommend And-Rod Contracting to anyone looking to build a house or cottage in the Bruce Peninsula. They did an amazing job on our recent house build in Tobermory and the quality of their work is evident in every detail (Check out the McCoy build pictures to see what I'm talking about). Thanks Jose, Amanda and your crew for such an amazing job!"

I've worked with AND-ROD on three new construction cottages in Tobermory which unto itself says a ton. Jose and his crews are easy to work with, professional, considerate and do incredible work. In an industry where delays, not showing up and cost overruns seem to have become commonplace and almost the norm, Jose is the opposite. Always on time, on schedule and on budget with a quick smile and easy going nature. If you are looking for a contractor to see your new build from start to finish or are looking to renovate an existing cottage, you can't do better than AND-ROD. Highly recommended!

Cheri did a Spring garden cleanup for up... pulling the weeds, saving the good stuff rehabbing the overgrown bushes and mulching. She us very knowledgeable & professional, responsive, and easy to work with. Highly recommended.
Beth Cartlidge
Our dream lake house was brought to reality with And-Rod Construction. Everything from the design, build and landscaping was a one stop shop. They took the time to really understand our needs and lifestyle to make the build perfect. They were professional, creative and made the experience stress free. They have the best crew and use only the best sub-trades.
Laura Graham
Cheri from AND-ROD Landscape & Garden Solutions did an amazing job on a very extensive garden and property clean up. Her plant knowledge, pruning skills and attention to detail are excellent! She also installed lovely Fall planters. Project changes and additions were promptly responded to. I would highly recommend AND-ROD for your garden and landscaping needs.

In 2018/2019, we entrusted AND-ROD Construction, led by Jose and his crew, with a major main floor renovation involving two full bathroom transformations. From start to finish, their professionalism, craftsmanship, and dedication shone through.
The quality of work was impeccable. Both bathrooms turned into modern masterpieces, with meticulous attention to detail evident in every tile and fixture. The team was punctual, respectful, and exceptionally skilled.
Jose kept us informed and was always available for any queries. We wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone seeking top-tier work.

Cheri is an amazing horticulturist, able to identify any plant I showed her, as well as recognizing all species of trees. As my mobility declines, it's so comforting to know that I've found someone able to make my gardens and large yard look like it did when I was able to dedicate a lot of time to it. With Cheri's help (and her amazing helpers), my yard looks like a park. I'd definitely recommend her for all your yard and garden work.

"And-Rod is top-notch. We hired them for framing our new home (North Bruce Peninsula area) and were beyond impressed with how the team handled each part of the build. Highly skilled and incredibly friendly guys! My husband and I were acting as the general contractors, so we worked very closely with the various members of the team. Much MUCH better communication, professionalism, and reliability than so many contractors we've dealt with past and present. Very honest and reasonable, which is saying a lot in this industry! Thanks a million, Jose."
