Testimonials

The staff at Petrela Winter feel like an extension of our team. We truly believe that they genuinely care about the success of our business and fully understand the needs of our company. They are extremely responsive, engaged and helpful with the day-to-day activities of our business. They ensure we have the coverage we require for our operations and never recommend we add coverage that is not required. Their knowledge of our industry is a valuable asset for our business and gives us the peace of mind we need.

—Vince De Cicco, President, Riverside Concrete Forming Ltd.

When it comes to construction insurance and bonding, and general industry advisory expertise, we highly recommend the PWA team. Their knowledgeable, professional, and in-tune team members provide a rock-solid service and are there when you need them the most. Their sole focus on construction makes them stand out – they understand the industry and are up to date on all of the current issues.

—Mark Enright, President, Bonnechere Excavating Inc.

We have been represented by Petrela Winter for over 30 years, and we have and continue to receive the best terms in the industry for both bonding and insurance. Their dedication to the industry, knowledge base, and their understanding of the national market as a whole, sector by sector, and region by region has provided our firm with a significant competitive edge.

—Keith Dwyer, President, Easco Electric Limited

Over the past 30 years, Pennecon has grown from regional roadbuilder to a leading national heavy civil and industrial contractor, with a vast array of private and public customers from coast to coast. Our projects are continually larger, technically challenging, and contractually complex, and so it is critical for our staff and business partners to be the most knowledgeable and progressive in the industry. Petrela, Winter & Associates’ team of highly skilled bonding professionals have assisted us in many ways, enabling our disciplined growth for over 20 years. Always up to the challenge, their credibility with the Surety community and their continuous support and guidance has been paramount to the success of our business.

—David Mitchell, P.ENG, CEO, Pennecon Limited

PWA is plugged into the construction industry and is at the forefront of the challenges we face each day. They have the ability to find solutions and make recommendations which are key to the operation of our business. Like Sherway, they are a recognized leader in their industry and we value their contribution as our company continues to grow and evolve. We would not hesitate to recommend Petrela, Winter & Associates to other construction companies that are interested in working with a group of professionals that truly understand their business and addresses their needs in a timely and professional manner.

—John Gawdunyk, President, Sherway Contracting (Windsor) Limited

Olympic has been a client of Petrela Winter since Day 1, and we have witnessed the company’s growth from a Regional Surety provider to a National Surety and Construction Insurance leader, while still maintaining their personal hands-on approach, a difficult task magnificently executed. Petrela Winter’s combination of personal approach and National reach is unique to the industry today and they have been a real partner to us for 40 years. We would not be where we are today without their guidance and support.

—Carl Mallam, President, Olympic Construction Limited
