Ever since I bought my house, my number one big ticket renovation was to build a detached garage, replacing the derelict mud pit of a parking pad I had in the backyard/laneway. After doing some research I found Brentwood Contracting online and never looked back.
I had an initial consultation to see if the work was doable and within their scope. They were honest, took some measurements and sent me over a quote, with a contract to sign. The quote was detailed, with everything listed out including pricing and payments schedule, and they never deviated from the agreed upon cost. They were also very familiar with the city bylaws and all the building codes to build the structure according to the law, which was very helpful as I had no idea about any of those things. They dealt with all the permits and the arborists and all the inspectors, which really took a lot of the stress out of the project.
Their communication was excellent. I work shift work, and prefer to do business through e-mail/text and they were very willing to work around my shifts. I had some issues with my neighbours having to sort out boundaries, and having them be onboard with the project. Brentwood Contracting was willing to delay the project without being too pushy to get it going. There were some minor changes I made in real time during the construction process like moving the door a couple of feet more to the centre, asking to fill the edges of the garage with gravel to help with drainage, and all the requests were acknowledged and done without any problems or added costs.
I’m personally unfamiliar with materials and just wanted something that was easy to maintain and could withstand the test of time, and they were honest with their opinions and didn’t try to upsell me on anything which I appreciate. I initially wanted windows on my garage doors, but they didn’t recommend it, and it actually worked out better in the end. They also didn’t penny pinch on the small things like making sure I got the top-of-the-line garage opener with all the bells and whistles, when they could of just provided me with a baseline model.
I also chose to use my own electrician for the project as I had some other work in the house I wanted to have done, and they were able to co-ordinate and liaise with them without any issues or problems. All-in-all I was very happy with the service they offered and the final product that went up. The jobsite was kept clean, always secured and closed up any gaps at the end of each day, and minimized any disruptions to my neighbours and their yards.
If you’re looking for a hassle free, turn-key garage addition to your property, I would highly recommend Brentwood Contracting!
We had a great experience with Mel, Mike and the team at Brentwood for our recently completed garage build. We had to go to Committee of Adjustment and they helped us every step of the way, guiding us through the process. The build itself was likewise seamless- there was something happening every day, and they finished in the timeframe they had anticipated. The quality of the work is excellent, and we would recommend Brentwood to anyone in the GTA looking to build a garage.
Brentwood is the way to go!
Our garage was falling down and needed to be replaced. After permit approval and demolition, I hired Brentwood to do the build.
From years of building only garages, Mel and Mike have mastered the process. The build was well organized and completed quickly. From their concrete curb pad design, to the automatic garage door opener, everything works and looks great.
I'm glad I hired Brentwood and would definitely recommend them!
It was a pleasure to work with Mel and Mike through this whole project.
Mel was very helpful in putting together various design ideas related to size and position of the garage, siding / window / door requirements, and overall making sure that the final plan would help us meet our objectives for this garage. He prepared the plans for submission and then walked the project through the municipal permitting stage from start to finish, so that everything met all bylaws and codes.
Mike's crews were experienced, professional and top quality, from those involved in the demolition and clean-up of the old garage, to the concrete work, carpentry, siding, roof and electrical. All crews were friendly, willing to discuss and explain their work, and kept the worksite clean and safe with minimal disruption to our neighbours. All were very well coordinated and organized by Mike. Really impressive. The level of communication provided by Mike was excellent throughout.
I've no hesitation at all in recommending Mel, Mike and Brentwood Contracting for any garage project. They were a pleasure to work with.
100% satisfaction from start to finish!
Mike, Mel and their crew did an amazing job with my new garage build. The whole process went very smoothly, coming in; on-time, on-budget and passed all inspections with flying colours.
I also received very positive feedback from neighbours who share the laneway on how respectful, tidy and accommodating all crew members have been throughout the construction process. Thank you, Mike and team!
If you are looking to build a new garage and want a contractor that is professional, experienced and provides excellent customer service, I highly recommend Brentwood Contracting!!
Mel and Mike were a pleasure to work with from start to finish on this project.
We connected with Mel back in late 2021. Throughout our conversations during several site visits, he was able to confidently answer all of our questions and even flag some other considerations for us. We were convinced to go with Brentwood as they have a strong reputation for building garages, great references, and able to give us enough detail in the contract that this project would be confidently finished on time and on budget.
Mel was able to expertly walk us through our different design, material, and finishing choices with recommendations on what is popular with their clients.
Mike is an absolute professional and was able to keep the project moving forward in a timely manner with the crew and letting us know what he needed from us so there were no delays. Things like having the security lights ready, decision on electrical, and placement of the garage manual doors did not cause delays because Mike was a great communicator. He even helped us soothe our neighbours anxiety and resistance to our garage project by calmly explaining to him that the project would follow all existing bylaws and codes.
Over the course of the project, the crew worked efficiently and were friendly when we saw them on site. There was minimal delay in getting each stage of the garage project completed from digging out the soil for foundation, pouring the concrete, and raising the framing of the garage itself.
We were very impressed with the professionalism, workmanship, and quality of the finished product. They project was finished in a timely manner and the site was cleaned up with care.
We would 100% recommend working with Brentwood if you are looking to raise a garage.
We thoroughly enjoyed the whole process of working with Brentwood. From our initial visit from Mel it was clear they knew what they were doing. We ended up in permitting hell, but Mel handled all of that for us which was a great relief.
Once the building started everything was performed on time, to exceptional quality. The on site crew managed by Mike were all fantastic. They take great pride in their work and it really shows. We get frequent comments from people in our neighborhood on how great the garage looks, even from random people walking by.
I don't normally take time to write reviews, but these guys are really excellent and I strongly recommend that you engage them to help build your garage. They are professional, have great expert knowledge, are a pleasure to work worth, communicate efficiently and effectively... and have done a great job with the build (despite COVID-related delays). Builders often have a bad reputation, but Mel/Mike are to be highly recommended.
Great work start to finish from the whole team. Stickhandled the permitting, committee of adjustment, arborist, design and great construction crew. Professional, punctual, personable. No hesitation in recommending Mel and Mike and their loyal team. All they do is garages, and they do it well.
