Basement Reno

Marcel and his team of trades were fantastic!
We interviewed a few different contractors and chose Marcel because of his attitude to customer satisfaction and the reviews we had read on here. We were not disappointed! We were on a tight scheduled when we started looking for a contractor and he managed to keep the project on budget and he completed it on time. We are thrilled with the final result. He made sure that we were informed upfront with any "potential" issues that may arise and he was very accomodating with some of the changes we wanted to make along the way. He is very knowledgeable and is truly concerned with making sure his clients are happy - every step of the way. We were also very pleased with every trade that was in our home. We knew each day who would be in our home and they were all very professional and very respectful of our property. They all showed up on time and left their work area clean at the end of each day. I would strongly recommend Marcel to anyone and we are looking forward to working with him again on our future reno plans. A very big THANK YOU to Marcel and his team!!

En-suite bathroom renovation

Contractors were always on-time to work. They protected all areas that they used/walked-on/etc. before starting any work. Cleaned up everything every day. I was informed of any challenges/changes that needed to happen.
Project was completed on-time.

Exterior Lanscaping

The job was very good with excellent workmanship. We communicated well about the requirements for the exterior L-Shaped walls and floral placements. I love final result and my neighbors gave positive response to the finished landscape effect.

I strive to not only give my clients what they want but to give them the biggest BANG for their buck. I treat every project as if I where creating it for myself, paying attention to design, flow, function and usability. Quality on time and on budget is what everyone says, I live it. The pleasure is mine, thank you for trusting me and allowing me to be part of something special... The beginning of happy memories.

Interlock Patio

Professional, reasonable, and quality workmanship. Stay away from the $4.99 sign companies. Marcel tore out my deck and replaced it with what I have always wanted, a quality interlock patio. No more animals living under a wood deck.

I have hired Marcel for a number of projects around the house. He is professional and reliable. He does what he says he will do and he completes a job ON TIME. Marcel is an owner you can trust with keys to your house.

We were very pleased with the work by Contracting by Us. The job was right on budget and finished on time of three weeks. The craftmanship and work ethic by all the trades were fantastic. Everyone was also very considerate of our pets which put our mind at ease. We have already recommended this company to our family and friends.
Great work and thank you!!!

Everyone says, wow fast, but that is only because everything is scheduled, from the material, labour and clean ups. Our trades are masters and treat every project as if it where their own. Thanks for the kind words and it was a pleasure creating your guys den.

Ensuite Bath

Marcel and his team came highly recommended to us and we weren't disappointed. As with every renovation, there were glitches that had to be dealt with through the process, and Marcel was able to find us alternatives and solve the problems quickly and to our satisfaction. His team was professional and friendly and the work they did was great - we're especially thrilled with the great tile job on the floor and in the shower.

home and kitchen renovation

Contracting By Us removed our old wood burning fireplace and oversized stone surround, took down the interior of the chimeny and removed a load bearing wall that seperated the living room and dinning room, creating an open concept great room. They framed, moved electrical outlets, added potlights, drywalled and painted the walls. They installed plaster crown moulding and a new hardwood floor. They also installed granite counters and a tumbled marble backsplash. My wife and I love the look of our new great room. We found Marcel and his trademan amazing. Thier work was total quality. They finished 3 days ahead of schedual. I strongly recomend Contracting By Us for the following resons.
-detailed contract and time schedual
-competitive quote, fair for job description
-very experienced knowlegable tradesman
-keep jobsite clean through out project
-made suggestions to improve our concept
-finished ahead of schedual
We are already planning our next project for Contracting By Us, and would recommend them to anyone that wants a hassel free, on time, on budget and quality job.
