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.

We were street parking since moving into our house and thought it was a good time to build a new garage to replace an old delapitated structure we inherited with the house.

From the first time we talked to Mel to the completion of the structure, the process couldn’t have been more streamlined. Mel was extremely knowledgable and offered invaluable suggestions when devising the initial plan. He also took took care of all the permits with the city which is something we didn’t know anything about. Once everything was approved Mike and his team came in to do the construction, the old garage was dismantled meticulously and the new one went up like clockwork.

Mel and Mike are the definitive definition of professionalism and were absolutely a joy to work with. it’s been some time now since Brentwood built the garage and after using it thoroughly every season it’s still like new and it has been a great outdoor space for socially distanced gatherings.

I highly recommend Brentwood and know you’ll be as happy as we are with the final product!

Very impressed with Brentwood Contracting. After a long process looking for contractors to build a two car laneway garage, we chose Brentwood and couldn't be happier with our choice. Brentwood were extremely professional and did an amazing job from start to finish, keeping us up-to-date throughout the process. It is evident that they have built garages of all types, and were very efficient throughout the whole process.

I highly recommend Brentwood Contracting for a new garage build , they were well organized, efficient and a pleasure to talk to. We are very happy with our end product.

I chose Brentwood Contracting to build my new garage because they offered a clear advantage over their competitors…specialization. Building garages is all they do, and their specialized skills showed from the beginning. From knowing the by-laws and what they could get approved to confidently committing to costs and time-frames, I could tell they knew what they were doing.

Mel made it easy to form a plan for the garage with design and style options. Settling on the price and contract terms was a breeze. He was always available when I needed him and promptly replied to all inquiries. They also handled the permit without any problems and the permit was issued without changes in record time.

When it came time to commencing construction, Mike and his team were always dedicated to completing each task accurately and skillfully. Mike runs a tight ship and is very organized and clean. Every aspect of the job was completed on schedule and on budget and Mike dealt with the City inspectors to ensure approval was obtained at each interval.

I was very pleased with the end result. It was exactly as I had envisioned it. Thanks to Brentwood Contracting!

We were looking to replace our two-car laneway garage as the old one was unusable. Mike and Mel were amazing to work with from the beginning right until the end. In the beginning, we gathered a few quotes but it was really clear from the get go that Mike and Mel knew what they were doing. We waited almost a year between initial inquiry and contracted start, and at no point were they ever pushy or trying to rush us to do something we weren't ready to do.

The Brentwood team took care of everything from start to finish, including the permitting process, handling communications with the demolition company, and communication with the inspectors. Mike was also instrumental in helping us deal with a property line dispute with one of our neighbors - his knowledge and experience in the area really came through and we are beyond thankful to have had his guidance during that time. Communications were great and there were no surprises as they made sure to be extremely transparent with the costs of the additional upgrades we wanted. Overall a very positive experience.

We are absolutely thrilled with the final product - a modern two car garage that also doubles as a gym + flex space/extension of our backyard for entertaining. We've already gotten so many compliments from our neighbors and a few of them have stated their intention to reach out to Brentwood to redo their own garage. We couldn't be happier with our new garage and would highly recommend anyone who is looking to build a garage to work with Mike and Mel! They are truly the best.

Mike, Mel and the whole Brentwood team were fantastic from start to finish. They were extremely efficient, courteous, respectful and kept a clean worksite throughout the whole project.

We are very happy with the finished product, and would happily recommend their services to anyone.

We were looking to get a garage done in our laneway. Mel and Mike were great to deal with. They took care of everything from the excavation of the asphalt, aligning with the new fence line and built what we expected: a quality and sturdy garage that had been planned and discussed. All throughout the process, Mel kept us up to date and there were no surprises. Highly recommend the work that Brentwood does.
