We were looking into finishing our basement with a 3 pieces bathroom and laundry room. We looked at many reviews and discovered Atlantis Contracting Ltd. We called the owner, Emre, and he came to see the work we wanted and gave us a quote.
The first important point is that he takes the time to listen and understand what is that you want. He also offers suggestion, and recommendation on your project to ensure that you understand the work required and the possible setbacks. He took 2 hrs with us to understand our project.
He gave us a quote and respected his words. He is an excellent general contractor. He explained everything to us and updated us every step of the way. He provided us with great suggestions that made our project even better than what we initially thought. While experiencing challenges in our project, he made sure to execute and give us an amazing finished product. His work is meticulous and he does not cut corner. What he builds will last for a long time.
He did correct faults in our basement that was left by the builder and by ourselves to ensure the final product would be lasting and secured. We are extremely happy with his work. We do know if we have another project for our house, he will be the contractor that we will go for. Our next project is already under his radar.
As for the cost, we believe that he is worth every dollar you put in. He is a respectable worker, and extremely honest. You will not find a better general contractor.
Hang on folks, long, honest, heartfelt review ahead! It's worth the read, I promise!
We had a dishwasher leak that destroyed our laminate flooring in the kitchen. My husband and I, knowing nothing about flooring, yet thinking we did (ha ha) had gone out and pre-purchased a huge roll (12'x27' - we had zero idea what we were doing) of vinyl sheet at a deep discount, hoping to do it ourselves. When we realized the project was well out of the realm of our reno capabilities, we found Atlantis Contracting on the website Trusted Pros, and boy, what a blessing that was! The reviews from other customers drew us in and we had to check them out!
I contacted Emre, who happened to be the President of the company, himself, to come and see. He responded to my email immediately and came by the very next day (at a time convenient to our working hours) to take a look. What struck me first was Emre's gentle disposition and kind personality. He is engaging, he's funny, and he knows what he's talking about! His many years of contracting experience were evident from our first meeting. Emre took the time during the consult to educate us about different flooring materials, and what would be best in our situation. He answered all of our questions honestly, and gave his opinions professionally.
You could tell instantly he has an eye for design. We truly wish we had called him first before purchasing the vinyl sheet. Turned out our best solution was vinyl plank. Emre took his time in explaining to us why plank was preferable in the kitchen over sheeting from an esthetic, functional and work involved perspective. He took measurements and pictures, and provided us with a thorough quote for work. There was never any pressure to use his company, and when he left us that evening, both my husband and I said to each other: "he's hired!"
Emre quoted us very fairly, working within our budget, and told us the entire job : removal of appliances, removal of damaged flooring and underlay materials, prep and install of new plank - all of it would take 2 days. We were shocked! So fast? And done right? Okay! From the beginning there was a certain respect and trust built with Emre.
Two days after our consult, Emre arrived with his friend and coworker (and hero! But that's a story for another day) Riza. Both arrived on time, and instantly began the job. 9 hours the first day (a Sunday even, which worked so well for us!!), 7 hours the next, and our kitchen is complete. Both Emre and Riza are perfectionists, which is what we needed for our floor install. We feel our kitchen floor is a piece of art now! Each plank cut and laid in a pattern that is SEAMLESS!! They took their time, and the pride they take in their work is highly evident in our final product. When people love what they do, they will do an exemplary job. It is abundantly clear that Emre and Riza love what they do. Payment was easy through Interac e-transfer. The guys cleaned everything up, swept up the floor, and off they went, into the sunset!
Look, 5 days ago we didn't know who Emre or Riza were. Today, they are not only our contractors, they are our friends. It was somewhat sad to say goodbye last night. THAT is exactly how you should feel, and who you want, doing your Reno work. Our house has many more reno projects ahead, and it's no question who we are contacting to come back. Thank you Atlantis Contracting and thank you Emre and Riza, from our hearts, for your knowledge, skill and professionalism.
I contacted Atlantis Contracting for an estimate after being referred to him by a prior client who had work done. She showed me before and after photos of his work. I was very impressed by the photos, secondly the immense respect and high regard this client spoke of the company.
Emre replied promptly, providing a detailed estimate. He is honest, clear and concise on project completion and pricing. The Atlantis team is friendly, professional, specialized, and makes every effort in ensuring his client is satisfied.
We contracted Atlantis Contracting to gut and replace a bathroom. I have to say that this company is second to none. Previous experiences with contactors had me afraid to hand over hard earned dollars only to get a less than ideal expectation. Emre is skilled in many trades and his expertise shows in the quality workmanship he does. If he finds an issue he will not just skirt over it, he makes it right.
In closing if you are in need of a TOP NOTCH contracting company who prides themselves on client care and quality craftsmanship look no further. Call Atlantis Contracting! I promise you will not be disappointed. We not only hired a contractor but we made a friend. I am proud to say that I am no longer afraid or skeptical in finding a contractor for future projects. We have found an amazing company that can do anything required whether it be simple, complex or custom. Thanks to Emre & Riza at Atlantis Contracting we are excited to start planning other projects in our home.
Thank you Carrie for the kind words.
It was a pleasure to deal with Emre. He visited the site, did a detailed estimate. Emre gave me a few options, was cognizant of budget and provided a detailed estimate with three different options. His pricing was middle of the pack. I contacted five different companies of some of them were quite unreasonable. The work done was exemplary. Emre and his crew were clean, organized and easy to work with. He was always easy to get a hold of and always showed up on time. The new kitchen ceiling looks beautiful. He estimated three days to do a hard job, and was done in two. I would definitely recommend Atlantis Contracting for any texturing you require.
Thank you Cindy for the kind words.
It was a true pleasure to work with Atlantis on a few problem areas in my home. It started with repair to my ceiling that had an unfortunate event with a contractor up in my attic. Emre did a superb job in repairing the "footprint dent" in the ceiling and in matching the ceiling texture to the original plaster and lath of my 1945 home - no easy feat! Being quite impressed with his skill and attention to detail, I asked Emre to do a few more jobs, which included fixing the flooring where I had removed an old original fireplace mantle and to fixing a botched barn door job another contractor had done. Using left-over vinyl flooring that I had, and adding fir for the transition, I must say the end outcome looks very nice! Equally, the removal of MDF used prior to support the barn door and replacing it with stained fir turned out equally appealing.
I have had my fair share of hiring contractors who say they know what they are doing, yet do not; and, in having to hire people to fix another contractor's work. I have full confidence in Atlantis in the quality of their work, their expertise, their professionalism and in providing solutions as needed. I will be hiring them again for a larger scale bathroom project, and give my word to any home owner to trust that this company does exceptional work. Emre is courteous, polite, highly knowledgeable and wonderful to work with. You will not be disappointed!
Thank you Linda for the kind words.
When my husband and I decided it was time to renovate our 3 bathrooms, we attended a Trade Show in hopes of meeting some contractors that we could potentially hire. We did meet one company, the owner came by our home, looked at our project and gave us a quote. We advised him we’d like to start the renovation at the beginning of September. When we contacted the contractor in August to finalize things, he advised us that he wouldn’t be able to take on our bathroom renovations as he had too many other projects on the go.
That’s when we learned about the Trusted Pro’s website. We posted our project on this site and contractors were calling that day and the days to follow to set up an appointment to come by and give us an estimate. We met with several different companies, and in some of the meetings it was interesting, you could tell how serious the contractor was in taking us on as a client because some didn’t take any notes, measure out the space, or they would try to talk us out of using mosaic tile for the shower floor, and use the acrylic base that came in the shower kit.
Then along came Emre Gunel, President of Atlantis Contracting Ltd., he spent over 2 hours talking to us about our bathroom projects, you could tell he was interested in doing the work, he asked us questions, gave us advice, and more importantly didn’t try to talk us into something we really didn’t want to do.
Emre and his team started the renovation on November 20th and finished it January 6th this was the time frame he told us and we even added/amended the contract to have him change out the Poly B waterlines to Pex and install in floor heating in the lower level bathroom. He is very knowledgeable, genuine, re-assuring and most importantly trustworthy. Emre quickly understood our needs and made practical suggestions such as consulting with us on ideas for mosaic tile for the floors of two bathroom showers, where to move waterlines, what color to paint the walls, where to place the niche in two of the showers. He is a designer at heart.
We really appreciated that he thought things through, this showed in the details of his work, for example the way the tile was placed on the bathroom floor, you could follow the grout line on the floor, all the way up the wall, and the way he built a template for the base of the shower in our ensuite with a round edge to hold the round glass shower doors, it is absolutely beautiful!
Emre and his team are professional, diligent, talented and treated our home like it was their own. When doing a renovation, it is inevitable that there will be lots of fine dust, however they took time at the end of every day to vacuum, sweep and clean up.
Our 3 bathrooms have been completely transformed into high end, five star bathrooms! So if you have any project big or small, we highly recommend Emre and his team at Atlantis Contracting Ltd. He will not only meet your expectations, but exceed them!
Thank you to you Emre and your team, when we are ready to move on to our next renovation, we look forward to working with you again.
Sincerely,
Brian and Shawna
Very good job. They did things in a timely manner. They stayed on budget. They worked hard and long to finish the job. Very nice people. Easy to talk too.
Atlantis Contracting won the bid we announced for the repair of our aging and terribly leaking roof for our cultural centre. The building we own is a surplus school building originally constructed in 1948. The roof offered many challenges, with many exhaust vents and other penetrations. It was leaking so much in places that we had to place large trash bins the previous spring when the snow melted.
When the snow melted we had large pools of water on the roof because the surface had become uneven.
Although our bidding process was delayed and it was already October, Mr. Gunel and his staff at Atlantis Contracting went above and beyond what the contract called to redo about 70% of the worst damaged area of the roof in 2018. He worked in rain and even snow. Thanks to his initial work in 2018 we didn't have any leaks during spring 2019.
He completed the remaining work on the roof early this summer, once again going above and beyond to meet all the requirements of our construction committee and consulting architect.
He was able to complete all this work about 15% below the lowest bid we received and did an excellent job. This was an approximately $80,000 contract. He was diligent about documenting his work, showing us all the before and after pictures. He was extremely neat and clean, left the working space and any other space he accessed during the renovation, and knowing that we are a non-profit organization, he even volunteered to fix some other outstanding problems we had in the building.
Hiring Atlantis Contracting will be the smartest business decision for any commercial building or residential homeowner. We can't recommend him enough.
Emre did a fantastic job! He was professional, Personable, trustworthy, and his prices were very reasonable. I would recommend his work to anyone!
Thank you Yvonne.
I have just started my renovation journey with Emre, and am excited for the next phase. He has been an absolute pleasure to work with. Always on time, and within budget, has some incredible design ideas and takes meticulous pride in his work to ensure his customers are not just happy but elated with his work. I cannot say enough positive things bout him, and would not hesitate to recommend him for any project, large or small.
