The Consumer Choice Award is the premier prize for businesses doing work in the home construction business. It represents a thorough analysis of what other consumers have said about the business and its employees. When a homeowner is researching potential companies to work on projects in their home, they often turn to friends and neighbours to talk about their experiences. When they want to widen that search, they look for independent confirmation through market research companies.

Established in 1987, the Consumer Choice Award uses a well-developed methodology that collects information from a broad source of market research companies such as Gallop, Survey Sampling International, and Dunn and Bradstreet. Along with those surveys, industry directories and records, databases and nominations, they select companies that have outstanding records to be awarded their seal of approval.

It is an award — not something that can be bought — it can only be earned through a consistent high level of consumer satisfaction with service provided. Any company that receives poor customer service and satisfaction rating are eliminated from the selection process. As a homeowner you can be confident that any company with this kind of award is worthy of your consideration.

The City Wide Group has won this prestigious award for 22 consecutive years in the Top Service Provides division.
