Kitchen Reno

We needed our kitchen re-done and we're glad we called Marcel and his team. Great bunch of guys. They are professional, friendly and finished everything in a timely matter. The work was exceptional and we couldn't be happier with our new kitchen. Great job! We will refer Contracting By Us to all our friends!

Milton Basement Renovation

Marcel and his team did a wonderful job with our basement! We live in a townhouse and we desperately needed more space for our family. He created an office, a family room (play room) and a storage space for a very good price. His team is always neat, polite, on-time and their work is top-notch. The project was finished in time and they stayed in budget. I look forward to him coming back to finish our kitchen, floors and stairs. I'll recommend him to anyone anyway!

Bathroom, etc.

Seriously in need of an upgrade to a bad existing reno/bathroom situation.
Cost and timing went a little over due to unexpected problems, as is the way with a 100 yr old house; overall a beautiful bathroom, closet, new roof, were worth the wait and the $

Older homes do sometimes expose more than one bargains for. On the up side, your home will be warmer and dryer. Your bathroom is beautiful, and you now have a walk-in closet. Our primary goal is to treat every home as if it were our own. Thank you for your repeat business.

Basement Renovation

Marcel and his crew completed our basement renovation on time and on budget. The basement was previously unfinished, and once completed included a gym, fireplace, wet bar, sauna, entertainment room, bathroom as well as plenty of storage. Marcel provided us with a detailed construction schedule in advance and provided us with updates on a daily basis. Marcel responded in a timely fashion to any questions we had regarding the project. Marcel and his crew were respectful of our home and cleaned up any construction mess/ materials at the end of each day. Overall, we are very pleased with the finished project and look forward to working with Marcel again in the future. We would highly recommend Marcel and Contracting By Us for any type of home renovation.

Interior Renovation

We were very happy with the level of service and quality of work provided by Contracting by Us. We hired Contracting by Us to do a complete renovation of the interior of our new home including: kitchen, 5 bathrooms, all flooring, painting, lighting and window replacement. The company was very diligent in meeting the timelines for the project, delivered high quality service and support all of our requirements. The project time line was very aggressive and they were able to exceed our expectations, even with unexpected surprises and additions to the scope of work. We would definitely recommend Marcel and the Contracting by Us team!

We truly enjoy a good challenge. Love your new home.
I don't think we've ever had clients make all the decisions as quickly and keep to our schedule which is a direct relation to the overall efficiently of the project. The two of you make a great team. Thank you and enjoy your new home.

Basement

Marcel Mackay of Contracting By Us was most helpful in the planning of our basement renovation. He showed us just how we could make the most of our space and still accomplish our goals. His workers, especially Manny, were professional and appeared interested in our project. We now have a great space downstairs which has added value to our home and one which we can enjoy with our extended family.

Basement Finishing - Davisville Village (Toronto)

We have a small basement with a low ceiling in mid-town Toronto. Marcel and his team finished our entire basement, installing a bathroom, laundry area, and tons of storage closets and space. In the end, the basement looks spacious, well-designed, and high quality. And the materials did not shrink the head space! Marcel and Manny are a great team, give great service, were trusted in our house, and managed their trusted subcontractors very closely - on time, on budget. We just sold our house this week and the finished basement was a proud and valuable selling feature! Thanks Marcel and Manny.

Basement construction/finishing

We started with a 100+year old basement and within one month we have a fantastic, new basement; including new laundry room, closets, office / rec.room space. At the outset, a work schedule was provided, and adhered to. Attention to detail was shown. All workers were professional. We are very happy with the results.
