I found Brentwood Contracting on this site and hired them for a new garage build. Dealing with Mel & Mike was great from design to completion and they always took the time to explain the next step. All the guys doing the various jobs were professional and always cleaned up at the end of the day. From build start to finish it was exactly 2 weeks and we were very happy with the end result. I would happily recommend Brentwood Contracting!!!
Brentwood did a fantastic job building a brand new two car garage. Just in time for the winter! We cannot be more pleased with the final product. Mel managed our expectations with a personal touch, and Mike's team delivered a superior product.
Mel and Mike built a detached two-car garage at my primary residence in South Riverdale Toronto. Every aspect of the process from initial consultation, to permitting, design, finishes selection, construction to close-out was absolutely amazing. Mel’s experience with the City, understanding of code and logistics, and eye for detail is incredible. Mike did an outstanding job on the construction, co-ordination and communication. I chose Brentwood via written reviews and could not be more please with my experience. Having had significant experience with renovations and contractors in the past, I can say with confidence that Mike and Mel are the best two I’ve ever had the opportunity to work with. Wouldn’t hesitate in recommending Brentwood to anyone.
Thanks Mike & Mel.
My wife and I purchased our home 2 years ago and it was apparent when we moved in that we needed a garage for all the various tools and other gear I have accumulated over the years. We chose Brentwood because they were taking care of everything from getting the necessary permits, submitting all the required drawings to the city and dealing with the inspections. They took care of everything from start to finish, including demolition of the existing sheds to the final sign off of inspection. The entire process from the demolition to the garage being completed was about 3 weeks! There were no delays between when one trade finished to when the next trade started. The cost of the garage was not the cheapest but you definitely get what you pay for! This was a big job that went without any hiccups. The build quality of the garage is fantastic. We are happy we went with Brentwood given the end result of the garage and the entire process being seamless.
we were going through a whole home renovation, dealing with many different contractors throughout a 1 year period. By far the easiest project we had done was our garage. We met with Mel and discussed the garage design we were looking for, the price, and the timeline. They took care of literally everything right from the start to the end finishing touches with absolutely no surprises! we researched a dozen companies in total and had quotes from just as many. The pricing was similar, but Brentwood had a ton more experience than the rest and came with tons of visuals to give us the exact garage we were looking for, plus they took care of all permits and property survey. The perfect one-stop-shop for garages!!!
Having a purchased our house a few years ago my wife and I felt that a garage was what was missing from an otherwise very comfortable, beautiful home. We believed that not only would it be a place to store and preserve a vehicle but the added storage space would free up the clutter in our home and yard. Of course we thought about it but didn't pursue it seriously because it seemed like such a monumental task in going about it, both financially and time wise in looking for the right people to help in such a relatively large project. As fortune would have it our neighbours down the street hired Brentwood to build their own garage. We were amazed how quickly and efficiently their garage was built and in a matter of a few weeks. Once we were given a tour of the finished product, based soley on the quality and look we were sold. Mel came in with a detailed budget and plan took care of the permits and survey. Mike came in and oversaw the construction in all its phases from the pouring of the concrete, to the framing, drywall, roof and door. The crew they brought in for these specific tasks worked fast and efficiently leaving barley any trace of mess or debris. Within two weeks we had our own magnificent garage to call our own and a little under budget to boot. We could not give a higher recommendation to the professionalism and quality of this company. Thank you Mel and Mike of Brentwood Contracting for making this such a painless process and your utmost professionalism.

I hired Brentwood to demolish the existing garage and build a new one. I am so happy with the results and the service was fantastic. Mike and Mel were great communicators and always quick to respond if I had questions. Their crews were efficient and respectful and the final product looks great. I'd heard horror stories from friends about dealing with contractors but this was so smooth and simple. The garage looks fantastic. Worth every penny.
Mike and Mel were fantastic. Super responsive from the get go, provided us with full disclosure on timing, costs and handled the entire permitting process start to finish.
The labourers were on time, delivered an exceptional product at each phase and the garage turned out amazing, above our high expectations.
Brentwood satisfied all our criteria and built a great garage. We would recommend their services to anyone looking for a turn key process, from demo, to permitting to construction. Start to finish, they were done in less than 4 weeks, as promised. Overall could not be happier. Amazing.
We chose Brentwood because they had done two other garages on our street, and they both looked great. I spoke with the homeowners, and they gave Mel and Mike great reviews.
We started talks in May, 2016, and had a contract signed in June. However, because there were issues with trees and Toronto's stupid bylaws, we had to go to the city's Committee of Adjustments. We filed in July, and were told we couldn't get to committee until NOVEMBER!! Note: this isn't Mike/Mel's fault - it's the stupid city making us wait months to essentially rubber stamp our permit (and collect $2000), as we were getting the same "adjustment" as had already been given to the other garages on the street. OK, end of rant.
The existing structure was nearly 100 years old, and was close to falling down. In fact, the week before the garage was torn down, a section of roof caved in! Mike/Mel's team came in the next week, tore the whole thing down in less than a day, and cleaned up the site. All of the trades who worked for them were very good, IMHO. Everyone showed up on time, and did a very professional job. I think that's a testimony to the company - they respect their trades, and it's clear the trades respect them.
Mel and Mike accommodated a few late requests (they built a small workbench for me, installed a light over it, etc.), but the job was still done very quickly - less than a month from tear down to finish, and that was in Toronto's very rainy spring of 2017.
We are delighted with the finished product, and would not hesitate to recommend Mike and Mel to anyone. They are both friendly and easy to talk to, and seem genuinely concerned that the job is done well, and people are happy.
