Fox Contracting: Winnipeg Concrete Foundation Repair

By John Smith on Jul 1, 2026 Verified by Google

Extremely unprofessional, negligent, and dangerous contractor. Workers from Fox Contracting have been performing a project on our Condo Corporation property on Apple Lane in Winnipeg, and their behavior has been absolutely unacceptable. For over two full days, their heavy equipment completely blocked private parking stalls and severely restricted the driveway, trapping residents and blocking access for everyone. Their most egregious violation happened on Canada Day (July 1, 2026), when they completely blocked the designated Fire Lane — they parked their loader and dual-axle trailer directly under the "No Parking - Fire Lane" sign, showing a total disregard for emergency safety regulations and putting the entire building at risk. When approached politely to move their vehicles, the site supervisor and the crew became extremely rude and aggressive. They refused to cooperate, started shouting, and flatly denied moving their equipment. The situation was only resolved after a direct call to the owner of Fox Contracting, who finally promised to have the equipment removed from the property by the evening. On top of that, their operation looks highly suspicious. There is zero corporate identification: not a single sign, nameplate, or contact number on any of their equipment. The workers wear random, mismatched clothes with no uniforms or logos. The commercial pickup truck towing the trailers has no company decals or business license numbers visible—only standard license plates. If this is how they handle public safety, laws, and basic human communication, I cannot imagine the poor quality of their actual construction work. This company is light-years away from professional standards. Avoid them at all costs!

This was an unacceptable experience. A worker screamed at me and belittled me in public on the street. There is no excuse for this kind of behavior, and it reflects very poorly on the business. I would think twice before engaging with a company that allows this.

Daryl and his team are life savers! They not only fixed my issues very well but their customer service from start to finish was on time and very professional. I highly recommend hiring them for their services 💪😊

Not responsible at all. I requested a quote for a job, and the owner never reached out as promised. I followed up with calls and texts, but received no response. I would not recommend them due to the poor communication and lack of follow-through.
