Thank-you, thank-you, thank-you Trusted Pros for allowing us to post our very first renovation project and, allowing us to come across Cavallino Construction.
We needed to have our bathroom redone before the arrival of our twins, and found TrustedPros.ca. We posted our project on your website and had over a dozen contractors come and bid on our project. None was as professional and supportive as Marcello of Cavallino construction. Marcello came by and listened to our ideas, provided suggestions and gave us an estimate and time frame for our project. He was below everybody else's estimate, and was suggesting that he could have done quicker than everyone else. With the impending arrival of our twins, time was of the essence!
We gave him the contract and offered to supply his own materials, and also offered to let us choose our own, all the while suggesting quality products and vendors. When we had chosen our own materials, he went to pick them up himself free of charge!
When it came time to start the job, he sent one of his teams, Niko and Mike to get the job done. Niko and Mike were professional, courteous, and efficient, and cleaned up at the end of every day. His plumber, painter, electrician, and plasterer were also fantastic. He even repaired and painted our kitchen ceiling (damaged by a leaking roof), and also repaired various cracks in our ceilings and walls...all, at no additional cost. He offered daily status reports of where the project was going and where it would be at the end of the next day. When all was said and done, my wife and I were waiting for a catch, some sort of unpleasant surprise, because this was all too good to be true. Cavallino finished the job ahead of schedule, and even though he was cheaper than the other contractors, he managed to finish under budget.
Bravo Cavallino Construction! Keep doing what you do so well. You are going to be our obvious choice for our kitchen reno and basement refinishing. And thank you TrustedPros.ca for providing us with a wonderful resource.
I worked with Marcello and his team when my boss bought a house over a century old in Montreal. Along with all it's charm came a fair amount of upgrading, re solidifying, water proofing and modernizing. Marcello was amazing at restoring the house to its full potential yet keeping true to its original beauty.
He is upfront and honest, reliable, innovative and puts his heart into everything he does. He is very knowledgeable and has great contacts in the building industry who work by the same high standard. He and his team go the extra mile to ensure quality and customer satisfaction. He always kept me up to date on where they were at, what was coming and what was needed as well as any issues they encountered.
After my experience with Marcello and his team, I would not consider using anyone else. They are meticulous about neatness and work long days to get the job done. Marcello is a lovely person, always smiling and looking on the bright side of things, an absolute pleasure to work with.
Working with Cavallino Construction was fantastic. After all the dreaded construction stories I've heard, I was pleasantly surprised.
Marcello and his team did a fantastic job on our kitchen renovation. The project was a complete overhaul of the kitchen which involved removing the centre island, sink, counters, cabinets, built-in gas stove and oven, drywall and raised floor. They created the hole to the exterior to install a new window, installed a new subfloor and heated floor system, and expertly laid our custom cement floor tiles. They added insulation, straightened the walls and installed the cabinets, which in some cases required customizing them to fit around pipes or chimneys. They coordinated the plumbing, electrical and wood-finishing work, which was also done to excellent standards. Mike and Nico were always on the job early, worked hard all day and were always neat, courteous and professional. They have great attention to detail and are good at communicating the tasks at hand. Marcello runs a tight ship, and the project stayed very close to the original estimates in terms of costs and timelines. They even went the extra mile and rectified a situation that was the result of lack of communication on the part of a product manufacturer. We love our new kitchen, with the heated floors and new source of light it has added immense value to our home. Bravo team!
After years of watching Mike Holmes show us home renovation nightmares some people experience... we moved to a new province and had to hire a stranger off the internet to renovate. YIKES, very scary!!!
Well, Praise God, He gave us Marcello!
From the second we met him, we trusted him. He quickly found a place in our hearts.
We hired Marcello for various projects involving repair or construction of window sill, baseboards, molding and trim, wood floor replacement, wall repair, wall construction with cove and electrical, and closet build; along with re-wiring of electric heat wall unit. Gaetano, Marcello's father, graced us with his presence and expertise and quickly got to work in the wall repair and mudding/sanding dept. We were new to this process and Marcello answered many questions for us along the way, advised us and offered creative and wise suggestions. We discovered his expertise and knowledge apply to many home-improvement/renovation areas.
Marcello is trustworthy and extremely personable. His completed work was above average and he didn't overcharge. We highly recommend him and look forward to working with him again soon!
Thank you Marcello...and Gaetano.
Sincerely,
Paul & Cathy
Marcello was refered to me by a good friend. Work was professionally done & always cleaned up after themselves. We were always put up to date with any changes and greatly appreciated their advise. Very trustworthy as I could not be there to see them in & out. They were like one of the family. Wouldn't hesitate to refer them to friends and family.
This company was a real pleasure to work with. I cannot stress how courteous, honest, reliable, and professional this company is. The craftsmanship and pride in their work and attention to details, surpassed all my expectations. The company is not only professional, but also punctual and easy to communicate with. What impressed the most, is their ability to problem solve and achieve amazing results with situations that are not always simple. Especially when considering to renovate an older home and the challenges it entails, this company really rises to the challenge and surpasses your expectations. I would highly recommend this company if you want the job to be done right, on time, of high quality, and at the same time respecting your budget.
Marcello is a courteous, kind, sincere, helpful decent human being to became part of our family for a duration of five years. His expertise was greatly appreciated as our home is now stunning due to his quality of work. He never cut corners and always did a marvelous job. There existed no boundaries as far as his expertise was concerned. He met numerous challenges while applying his work ethics to our home. We are thrilled with our heated floors, newly renovated bathrooms and marvelous kitchen and solarium. We do thank you Marcello. Marcello always went beyond and above in order to please a very particular client who is today a trusted and loyal friend.
