I was so impressed with Brentwood Contracting from start to finish.
We had a detached garage built in September 2016 and each stage went like clockwork even finishing ahead of schedule. I was informed of every detail of the project and what steps would be taken each day. The communication was great. Every worker was very professional and the worksite was kept very clean impressing even my neighbours! I would highly recommend anyone to use their services. City permits and inspections were all part of the project!
We had a terrible garage that we wanted to do something about from the moment me and my partner moved in. Initially, we had thought about renovating to avoid dealing with the city, but decided against it.
Really, we didn't care too much about exact specifications for the garage, we were more concerned with getting a building permit for it. Since Etobicoke zoning bylaws are wierd, there is really no provision for a corner lot to have a detached garage. Because of how our property is shaped, an attached garage was also not an option. So we had to take it to the minor variances committee. This went well and was approved with some caveats. We met all of those and finally got our building permit.
It took one day to get rid of the old garage, one day for the concrete forms, then a day to pour the concrete. Then a week of curing, then one day we had a garage. Over the next few days, the trim, shingles doors, and electric were put in.
The final inspection is due in a couple days. We have a beautiful garage with a door that works.
The process took a long time for us, but Mel stuck with it and now we have our garage.
The work work wasn't cheap, but I think it was well worth it. The build quality looks and feels solid, and everything was cleaned up when they finished.
The only thing with 4 out of 5 stars is communication, I felt like I did much of the chasing for updates, though the response was always prompt when I did, it would have been nice to get updates more proactively.
We needed a new garage! After some research we decided to use Brentwood Contracting - best decision ever! Our nightmare, wobbly, leaky maternity ward for raccoons is gone. Everything about the new garage is solid and attractive, from the concrete pad to the tip of the roof. Brentwood arranged everything: building permit, arborist inspection, dismantling and disposal of old garage, trench for electrical installation (My wife says "Love, love, love the remote controlled garage door with lights."), and coordinating all the teams for each phase. Everybody was courteous and performed their jobs well. Mel and Mike were approachable and really interested in making us happy. Even our neighbour was happy with Brentwood for fixing a bit of damage to their eavestrough and a bit of trim. We are very happy indeed, and highly recommend Brentwood Contracting.
These guys were all great to work with and the garage looks fantastic. The whole build was well organized, the crews were courteous, tidy, efficient, communication was great and everything was finished on schedule and as promised.
Thanks!
We had an old garage that was beyond repair, so we had Brentwood Contracting remove
the old one and build a new larger garage. Mel explained what they could build, and offered
some useful recommendations. He looked after the permit, and coordinated each phase of the project. Mel and Mike and their crews were obliging, and considerate to our neighbors, who we share our driveway with, which helped to minimize their inconvenience.
We are pleased with our completed garage, it is well built, attractive, and has all the features that we required.
My new garage is excellent! Mel and Mike were great to work with through the whole process. From permits to the actual work staying right on schedule to completion. I did have an issue with the roof construction, but after discussing with Mike he fixed it and in the end I am very happy with the work done.
Mel, Mike and the team were great from start to finish! We had some challenges with surveys, permits etc - Mel got us through all the hurdles with great expertise and patience. Then when it was time to do the actual build we were very impressed with the quality of the work and how quickly it all got done! Would definitely recommend Brentwood for anybody looking for a new garage - they really know what they're doing!
I can strongly recommend Brentwood. They removed my old garage and built a new one, and they took care of every aspect of the project--from permits all the way through to clean-up--so it was a worry-free experience for me. Mike was a constant presence on the job, everything was done very professionally, and both Mike and Mel were always available by email. One extra thing I really appreciated was Mike's diplomacy in dealing with a difficult neighbour. He was patient and kind, so what could have been a very bad situation was no problem in the end. Overall, I don't have a single negative thing to say about this experience. They were exactly as good as the reviews led me to believe, and my amazing new garage is proof of that.
We would definitely recommend Brentwood Contracting. We asked them to demolish and rebuild our two-car garage. The problem was that our garage was encroaching onto city property. Mel worked tirelessly with the city and represented us when we had to go to Committee of Adjustment in order to obtain the proper building permits. When it came time to begin work in the fall of 2015, Mike was on site every single day supervising the work and ensuring that everything was done correctly. The work was done on time and on budget. We couldn't have asked for better contractors.
We love our new garage. Brentwood Contracting has a great team of very skilled, efficient people who are an absolute delight to work with and who provide top quality workmanship. Mel worked closely with us in the initial design so that we got exactly what we wanted. Mike oversaw the entire project, was very accommodating and a pleasure to work with. Our garage was completed on time, on budget and at a fair price. All our expectations were exceeded. We highly recommend Brentwood and would hire this company for other projects around our home.
