Basement Reno

Marcel and crew did a fantastic job on our basement project. The job was done on time and on budget. They cleaned up each night and delivered as promised. The crew was friendly and Marcel was on site each day to ensure everything stayed on plan. Marcel was very helpful and came up with creative ideas for a bookcase and a bar area. I would not hesitate to recommend CBU.

Basement renovation

We are repeat customers of Contracting by Us and wouldn't consider anyone else for the job. After a positive experience with our last house, our expectations were again met with a project that was completed on time, on budget and within a very tight timeline (just before Christmas). Thanks to Marcel and his skilled and competent team for another great job.

Basement & Home Theatre

Contracting By Us surpassed all our expectations for our basement reno. Our unfinished basement now has an bedroom, a beautiful washroom, a family room, and a home theatre that could be featured in Sound and Vision magazine.
Marcel and his right hand man Manny are everything you could hope for in a contractor. Their work is top notch and now our problem is that it puts the rest of our house to shame.
It's rare to find a contractor who knows his stuff so well, but is also open to suggestion and is willing to work with your ideas.
Our theatre has three rows of seating, a 130-inch screen, in-wall speakers and we couldn't ask for more.
If quality and timeliness are your main criteria, Contracting By Us is the company for you.

Bathroom remodel

Marcel and his crew were very professional... starting from taking off his shoes in the house to laying down paper on the floor (leading to the remodeling area). Marcel met us on the weekend to pick out our material and came to the house on the date and time that he promised. They all did a great job on the bathroom and I would recommend to their services to anyone looking to redo any part of their home!

Had a great time transforming your old weathered deck to a usable functioning extension of your home. Still waiting for the barbecue though.

Kitchen project

I worked with Marcel of Contracting By Us on a couple of previous projects. It was such a pleasure working with him and his team again this time around. Each team would come in and do their part professionally and efficiently. Marcel would always follow up on the work being done. With their knowledge and experience Marcel and Manny make the renovation go smoothly considering how projects like this could be a very stressful. Thanks Marcel for your guidance during this project and I look forward to our next collaboration.

Basement Renovation

Dear Marcel:
Ev and I would like to take this opportunity to express our thanks and appreciation to you and your crew for the excellent job you did on finishing our basement.
We are extremely satisfied with the outcome. The project was completed on time (one day earlier) and on budget!
We were also pleased with the professionalism of your people, the attention to detail and sensitivity to the fact they are working in an active home.
To supply a cleaning lady to clean our home was greatly appreciated even though it was not included in any of the discussions and the contract.
We have no hesitation in recommending your company to any one requiring a finished basement and please feel free to have any prospective customer contact us for our comment.
Sincerely yours,
Fred & Evelyn

Thank you for trusting Contracting By Us with your basement renovation. During the project you came to us and said, " I never thought you would be this far along this quickly". Our response was that it was scheduled and everything was going according to plan. I asked, " if you didn't believe us why did you hire us"? You had time was your reply. Contractors sometimes promise more than they can deliver. We strive to deliver a stress free, quality, on time and on budget renovation every time.
