BVM Contracting

“We hired BVM Contracting early this year to do a major addition to our 550 sq. ft., 1 bedroom bungalow. We wanted to make it substantially larger, adding a full 2 story with basement addition to the rear of the house. Vince was key from his initial advice, suggesting a designer that we were very happy with, helping us through the application process and then delivering our “new” house pretty much on time and budget. He was terrific in suggesting a couple of key improvements in design after construction began and was good in keeping us very informed about what was happening at each stage of the construction. Cost over runs were very small and were pretty much all due to our decisions to upgrade a few things from our original contract, all done with absolutely open dialog regarding pros and cons and our choice. Overall, we found Vince and his crew very easy to work with.

The whole process wasn’t without its bumps but we are extremely happy with the finished product. We know we made a great choice in hiring Vince as our trusted contractor and would not hesitate in recommending BVM Contracting to our friends.”

We were very fortunate to have BVM Contracting do an extensive renovation on our home this past winter. From the beginning stages of planning to the final touches at the end, the entire experience was professional, thorough and fantastic. We would highly recommend them to any homeowner looking to renovate or build. We are so happy with the upgrades to our home and have BVM to thank for it .5 stars !!

Vince and his crew were an absolute pleasure to work with. The quality of the work was excellent, no scrimping or shortcuts and everyone was helpful and respectful. Vince is extremely knowledgeable of the construction process and I look forward to working with him and his company again in the near future on other projects.

Making the decision to renovate your home is one of the most challenging and stressful decisions anyone can make. Do we renovate? Or.. Do we sell? Decisions of this magnitude cannot be taken lightly to say the least, and as we learned this was one of many decisions to be made along the way. Deciding to renovate in hindsight was fairly simple for our family. With an existing home in an area we love, the decision was made for us - now came the hard part. What do we do? How do we do it? Where do we begin? I have a saying; sometimes you simply don't know what you don't know! This is why choosing a contractor you trust becomes the critical decision in the process.

A simple walk in our neighborhood some 4 years ago proved to be the turning point in this renovation journey. As is the case in most neighborhoods, renovations are becoming more and more the norm. One night I came across a house clearly under renovation, and we figured an email to the company on the front of this demolished house couldn't hurt. This is where our renovation story starts. This is when we met Vince, Colleen and BVM Contracting. A few months later after meeting Vince we are "walking" the house under renovation with Vince he showed us the various steps in the process. From our first interaction we knew this was our contractor. Of course we were diligent and met with other companies, but our decision was a very easy one.

Fast forward a year and a half contracts are being signed, and decisions are being made.

BVM took us through the entire process - from the design, demolition and the creation of our dream home. Vince and his team, industry contacts and the subsequent retail establishments recommended to us were all spectacular, professional, and respectful of our wants and needs for our home. Vince walked us through the process, explained what was happening and what the next steps were. He answered our many, many questions, and gave us guidance along the way. You hear many stories about renovations being an awful experience, but you rarely hear stories about renovations being a good experience. This was certainly a good experience. We asked our 8 year old daughter what she thought about the renovation, and her answer was "Vince was nice, and he did a good job. I love my bedroom". Vince and his team became part of our daily lives, and to be honest we'll miss having them around.

We quite simply could not have asked for a more well executed, on time, on budget renovation. I am tremendously thankful that we reached out to Vince and Colleen some 4 years ago. People ask us all the time if we would recommend Vince - the answer of course is always a resounding yes.

BVM Contracting recently took on our very awkward and difficult reno. Due to a terrible renovation by a previous owner they needed to move our staircases and bring them up to code. They had to re-gut the improperly insulated basement and rebuild it including a washroom. Walls on all 3 floors were moved, brand new HVAC for the entire house was done and a million other small painful details needed to be dealt with. They were always professional and brought in the appropriate trades for each job from custom stair designers to HVAC designers, plumbers, electricians and even the architect who helped us re-design the entire space. They worked around us as we lived in the house during the reno and were respectful of our space and our time. I would recommend BVM for anything big or small. We had other contractors who wouldn't even quote the job because although it was big it was a huge hassle for a contractor. BVM gave us a timely and reasonable quote, came in on budget, worked hard to stay on time although in the end the scope changed and working with so many subs made it difficult. Our space is now a haven. It has been well-designed, well executed and we couldn't be happier. Thank you to Vince and his team!

We had interviewed a number of contractors for the job. Although we received numerous lower and much higher quotes, BVM was very competitive and our decision was made after we met Vince. He was able to put us at ease and explain the job and the process from beginning to end. He also gave us a reasonable timeline and good advise on the permit process. Vince provided us with a schedule of what would happen and was on site on a daily basis to ensure the trades had showed up on time, and worked as per the schedule. Although we had a very wet late summer/Fall, Vince was able to finish the job close to the original deadline. Any issues we weren't happy with, were quickly rectified and any changes we made during the process were accommodated where possible.

Besides his strong relationships with the trades, Vince also has his own team working with and supporting him. Adam, John and Dwight are professional in all aspects of what they do. They treat the residence with great care and always ask if they have a question as to how we would want something finished. In addition, Colleen would keep in touch in regards to sending us our choice for finishes, and making the payment process smooth and simple.

We would recommend BVM, Vince and his team, for any construction job you may be looking to do....big or small.

I am a 70 year senior living with a 94 year old mother.

We just had a bathroom renovation completed in our family home. Our home is 57 years old so during the renovation we still needed to have use of the only bathroom. Vince and his crew made this possible and kept me updated as to the progress all along the way.

We had Vince do other work here as well, namely a new kitchen floor and some handrails, for safety, on our stairway to the second floor.

Vince himself is a very fine man and easy to communicate with, his crew are also great guys and very professional. As they completed their days work they cleaned up any mess and left us knowing what time they would return and what to expect on the next work day.

Anytime I expressed a concern or wanted something done differently Vince obliged without hesitation. The job was completed in a very timely fashion and without a problem.

I would not hesitate in recommending BVM Contracting to a friend or anyone needing professional renovation work done in their home.

I want to add a personal comment to Vince’s wife Colleen. Colleen, although we never met we did have much communication via phone and email. Teamwork is the secret to any successful business and I recognize you as the person behind the scene that helps make BVM the success it is.

Thanks again for a job well done.

Had Vince and his guys come to do a little work. They did an excellent job, expecially love the serve-through with the granite countertop, by far my favourite. When surprises would arise, which does with an old home, Vince's crew were quick to fix the problem. Great job, very happy with them, especially his electricians and plumber.

Will definately use BVM again in the future. Thanks again for the great work and most importantly to me, coming in on budget. ~Cathy

We hired BVM in August of 2010. We needed additional space for our growing family and decided that instead of changing residences, we would add a second storey to our brick, charming bungalow.

A lot of work went into this project, and overall it turned out well. The only drawback to BVM is the subcontractors that he hires may not be as responsible in providing good workmanship. We experienced this a few times along the road, and were not satisfied.

Overall, we are glad we added more space, and increased the value of our home also.

Not only was Vince a nice guy, but every one of his sub-contractors was. The job was done to perfection we had a 3rd bedroom put on with a second storey deck coming off it. Vince has been around the block and he knows what hes talking about, great advice and very trust worthy. I will be using this company again without a doubt.
