My husband and I have used Scanlan Construction for several projects over the last decade, including a stamped concrete patio, roof top deck, built-in bookcases, and renovation of the back room of our business (including the installation of a bathroom and kitchenette). We have been extremely happy with the outcome of every job; the quality of the work is exceptional, they have always stayed within budget, and kept us informed throughout the process. Bob Scanlan is calm and capable whenever issues arise, so I always feel like I'm in good hands with Scanlan Contracting. We will definitely be calling on Bob and his team for any future renovation projects.
Very happy with the quality of work and professionalism shown by Bob and his team. Despite the challenging setbacks during the Pandemic, once it was safe to work they were able to build my deck to satisfaction in no time at all.
These are nice people who really care about their customers and the work they do. That goes a long way for me.
I would not hesitate to use them again for future work!
Our project was quoted by Bob at a reasonable price. What he said he was going to do he did. We hit some snags with the job and they were able to deal with our problems as they came to them. The quality of the workmanship was excellent and I would recommend them highly.
We have used Scanlan Contracting for two projects in the last year. The experience was very positive and we didn’t hesitate to call them again for our second project. Meticulous work and always a pleasure to have at our home. They are Friendly people who we were happy to see each day. They discuss projects and offer opinions and options which we certainly appreciated.
In the event of a third project needed they would be getting the call from us again for sure.
Much appreciated Brian and as I said before don t hesitate to call if you have other projects.
We highly recommend Scanlan Contracting. Our project included a multilevel composite deck, stone patio, pergola and landscaping (see photos). We appreciated their professionalism, detailed quote and work schedule. Bob expertly coordinated the crew, kept us informed of all activities and handled everything with great attention and care. Bob and his son Jason were punctual, tidy, professional, honest, diligent and courteous. The exceptional quality of their work was beyond compare.
We love our new deck and still rave to this day about the fantastic workmanship and all-around great experience we had. We're already thinking of future projects and wouldn't hesitate to work with them again. Highly recommended!!!
We are so very pleased with the work Scanlan Contracting did. They came in on budget, worked completely within the timeline they indicated, were clean and courteous and kept us updated on the project, along with any changes they were thinking of making along the way. The workmanship is just fantastic and we love this deck!
I would recommend Bob to anyone, we had such a great experience with them.
Bob and his son did an excellent job removing our old deck and creating a lovely new deck. They were the lowest quote of four and we were so pleased with the care and excellent work that they did. There were no surprises and they came in within the quoted price. I would highly recommend them.
We are thankful that we found an honest and diligent company like Scanlan Contracting. We contacted Bob Scanlan to get a quote for our backyard project, consisting of deck, patio and lighting. Bob was able to provide a quote for all of our requirements, including staining of the deck. At our invitation, Bob also made suggestions to enhance the project; the most important being the use of an exotic hardwood, called Ipe. The quote was detailed, included the work that would be done by sub-contractors (patterned concrete, lighting and staining) and was honoured throughout.
Bob explained at the outset that the whole project would be subject to weather constraints and he was right. But Bob kept in contact with us and kept us up to date on when work would be done or couldn't be done because of the weather. He also took responsibility for the work of the other contractors, readily addressing our questions and concerns. The work performed by everyone was terrific, but the fine detail put into the deck by Jason was extraordinary. We now have a backyard that we are proud to entertain in or to just have a coffee in each morning.
I would recommend Scanlan Contracting for any backyard project. Bob's pride in his work is readily evident. He came in on budget, was responsive to all of our concerns, showed exceptional workmanship and took care of all of the details, making the project easy for us. Simply put, I trust the man and there really is no higher praise.
Bob Scanlan is the renovation contractor you HOPE to find when embarking on a renovation project: he’s professional, fair, offers competitive pricing, and is readily available to answer any of your questions or concerns throughout the course of the job. Bob and his team took our ideas for the design of our basement and gave us exactly what we wanted, only better.
Right from the start, Bob was upfront about costs, offered suggestions to stay on budget, and we never felt pressured to make decisions. Any problems that did arise were dealt with quickly and efficiently. All the sub-contractors were prompt, considerate of our space, and never intrusive.
Bob, his son Jason, Frank, and Bill take pride in their work and pay attention to the smallest details. Throughout the project we felt that the common goal was to create a beautiful and functional basement of which we, Bob, and his team, could be proud. We would not hesitate to use their services again for our next project.
