Contracting By Us

I met with Marcel [owner] October 2012 and scheduled a basement reno for the end of March 2013 which was the date I wanted.
He stopped in the night before the target start to say hello and check basement if was clear [that told me lots about his attention to detail].
Marcel gave me a quote and a three week schedule to have the basement finished [approx 75% of the total house footprint] which consisted of a great room with a kitchenette/bar area; bathroom with shower and a large walk in closet.

All the trade work had minimal mess and noise into the house fortunately because of the direct basement access through the garage. His crew were like Santa’s elves; never really saw them but they working hard all day with hammer/saw/drill. Checking nearly every night I saw tremendous progress each visit. The walls were amazingly smooth; I had some other professional complement the quality work.

What I appreciated most was that Marcel would offer very good recommendations; he has an excellent style sense. I trusted him completely when I deferred a decision to him. I was very impressed with his personal approach and proactive manner. I would get a heads up as to timing of flooring, tile, granite etc. selections. Nothing was ever too much trouble. There was a minor set back when the tiling couldn't finish the night before, I found him in my driveway at 7am with the two tiles that were the wrong shade driving off to Toronto to get replacements and with a smile on his face. Couldn't believe it! Impressive.

The job ended with all work done as promised in late April and looking fabulous. I couldn't be more pleased. I highly recommend CBU to anyone.
