I was looking for a new general contracting company to do everything at my property. I manage a Shopping Centre and need a good contractor. The company was recommended to me 2 years ago and I called them up and had them come over and do some work…. they were excellent. I need a contractor that I can call day or night and I finally found them. They do it all, painting, repairs, plumbing, construction you name it they do it! They are efficient, reliable, and extremely meticulous. I will never use another general contractor for my site, now that I have found HI-Performance Construction!

Miro and his team were great to work with. They were flexible with start date when my permit was delayed. We had good communications throughout the buildout and problems were resolved in a timely manner.

The company did an excellent job constructing our medical space. They quoted and completed the work quickly and efficiently. We liked that they handled all the permits for us. Not only were they responsive throughout the process, but they also offered much more competitive pricing compared to other contractors. We highly recommend them for any construction needs.
