Contracting By Us

We had Marcel finish our basement 6 years ago. Our second child was just two weeks old when Marcel started the job and he was completely finished within three weeks. Our house is not that old, but the basement was finished with better quality materials than the original builder used. Marcel helped us with the design and we are very happy with the finished design and the fit and finish. We only had one problem with a dimmer light switch after a couple of years and an electrician immediately came over to replace it at no cost. Marcel stands behind his work.

I have had absolutely no reason not to trust him and I have contracted his company again. Last year he replaced our master bedroom walkin shower. Again, the shower is much better than the original and we are very pleased with the shower. He may be a bit more expensive than some of the companies out there, but you get what you pay for. The peace of mind and quality of work is definitely worth a few extra dollars.

I hope this helps when you make your decision.

Right from the quote, Marcel was on the ball. He finished the job exactly on budget, and finished the job early. We called him Maestro, because or how well he orchastrated all the tradesmen. I would recommend Contracting by Us to anyone.

Working with Marcel and his team was a collaboration of ideas to come up with the best results I was looking for. The work of his crew can be described as meticulous, diligent and professional. It was indeed a pleasure and fun getting to know them at the different stages of the project. After the project was completed, Marcel followed up to make sure that I was happy with the results. I look forward to working with Marcel and his crew again on the next project. Thanks CBU for a job well done!!

Marcel took out the old builder's glass/aluminum shower, fittings & tiles and replaced them with a new modern frameless glass enclosure, tiles and fittings. Fantastic job! Done on time and at a very competitive price. Thank you!

Excellent company to work with. Marcel is extremely flexible and always appreciative of your concerns. He's more focused on the end product, than the project end date. Quality is key, and if it's not up to his standards he'll fix it. On-time, on-budget, above quality expectations. I couldn't ask for more.

My husband and I had a great experience working with Marcel Mackay to finish our basement. Marcel and his workers all had 10 or more years of experience. Because of this experience they were able to complete each phase quickly from framing to electrical and painting, and make suggestions to our vision for the basement that we did not think about and that has made a vast improvement to the flow and look of the basement. In addition, any concerns that we had were quickly addressed by Marcel.

We were very satisfied with the work Marcel provided. He was connected with many well-established contractors resulting in a high quality and reasonably priced project. I had a small child living in the house during the construction and Marcel made sure to be respectful of his schedule and even treated him with the occasion donut! I highly recommend this company.

Marcel, thanks to you and your team of professionals we have an amazing new family room in our basement and I love my new laundry room. I can't believe you guys did all that in less than three weeks. I would recommend your Company to anyone looking to have renovations completed - you set the bar for others to beat.
