Continental FrameWrkz

We are extremely happy with our basement renovation by Continental Bros. Construction and would definitely refer them to family and friends.

Victor presented us with many photos of his projects and invited us to actually see a completed basement done by them. He is also a Certified Home Inspector as well as a contractor and thoroughly checked our basement before they started and after... brought a few minor things to our attention which we wouldn't have known without his expertise. We liked the way Victor and his crew gave plenty of ideas, advice, answered all of our questions and went well beyond our expectations!

They only use good quality materials and it is clear that Victor, Hung, Benny and Tony take great pride in their work, paid close attention to detail and treated our reno as if they were doing their own house. We also liked that the price was competitively fair and reasonable and they did their best to accommodate any changes.

Overall it was a very positive experience and we felt very comfortable having them in our home. Our finished basement was completed in a timely manner and my teenagers are very excited to finally have a private space of their own. Highly highly recommended!

Excellent service!

We are beyond satisfied with the completion of our basement. Continental FrameWrkz has fulfilled their promise to have our basement completed by Christmas and needless to say they have exceeded our expectations in every aspect!

We would highly recommend Continental FrameWrkz to anyone who is looking for professional, reliable, friendly, artistic and punctual contractors. They were an absolute pleasure to work with and we hope to use them again in the near future.

Thank you Continental FrameWrkz...we cannot wait to enjoy our new space!

I had 70's glass block removed and framed and drywall installed. Looks so much better! Fast and easy!

The most important thing that you’ll want to know

1. YES, we would recommend Victor M. & Continental Brothers to family & friends

2. YES, we would use them again to finish basements in any of our future homes

Overall, we are very happy. We went from an unfinished basement in a 4-year old detached home to a 950 sq ft stunning finished basement. It has a 3-piece bathroom(shower, toilet, vanity), den with lovely frosted glass French Doors & the rest is an open concept floorplan, which is what we wanted.

Timing: The job took about 8-calendar weeks from the start to end time. However, 1-week was lost while we did spray foam insulation & 1-week while we were out of town. Thus, about 6-working weeks for Victor & team. The 6-weeks was the time estimate that Victor provided when he did our quote so the job did not have any time delays & we did not have any cost overruns. We paid what was quoted.

Personnel & Leadership: Victor is the owner of the Company & is the person that does the quote, does the work, Project manages the team & sub-trades, & more importantly, is your “go to” person for questions and comments.

Communication: Victor was always open for communication. We liked how he would ask us for input on a daily basis for certain decisions. We appreciated that even though the work day was done & the rest of the workers had left for home that Victor would stay behind & wait for us to get home after work to walk us through what had been done, check-in with us to see if we had questions & ask us for any further input.

Flexibility: Victor was flexible with us. Although his quote includes insulation & laminate flooring, we wanted to do spray foam insulation and vinyl plank flooring instead. Victor was able to work with the different materials & was able to work with the timeline needs for the separate spray foam company. The quote includes the bathroom exhaust vent & Victor installed a different vent for us that I had selected instead of his standard exhaust vent.

Pricing & all-inclusive Quote:1 of the reasons why we picked Victor was that his quote was all-inclusive. So we did not have to worry about or pay for extra materials, parts, labour, etc. e.g. incl. a high-efficiency American Standard Toilet and Moen bathroom hardware. We recognized those brands so we were comfortable with them. We did not want inferior products. We were able to select the styles that we wanted. Further examples of the all-inclusive quote are that it includes LED potlights, all the porcelain tiling including grout, doors including all door hardware, etc.Payment terms are very favourable. Most contractors’ quotes needed an upfront payment as high as 50% of the quoted price. Victor’s payment terms are weekly once the job starts. E.g. If the job is $100 after HST for 10 weeks, then you pay $10 each week on Friday.

Extras: In addition without any delays to the quoted timeline, Victor & team were willing to do extra minor repairs/maintenance around the house. We offered to pay extra for the extra work, but since they were minor, they were kind enough to do it for free. Please understand that if you ask for extra work to be done that is more significant, then you should expect to pay as that’s only fair. At least it will be at a reasonable extra rate/charge.

Minor Constructive Feedback: The only minor constructive feedback that we have, especially as non-smokers, was that we did not appreciate members of Victor’s team smoking outside on our property & occasionally leaving cigarette butts on the ground or in our compost bin. It should be noted that Victor does NOT smoke. Esp. impressive was that once we raised the issue to Victor, he personally went out & picked up the cigarette butts left by his team to ensure that he addressed our concerns.

Feedback from Friends & Family:

Everyone that has seen the new basement so far has really been impressed by both the overall look and quality construction & materials.

If you are looking for contractors who are honest, do good quality work and are a pleasure to work with, these are the guys to call. We had spent a lot of time looking for a contractor to complete our basement. When we first met Victor of Continental Brothers, he seemed to be honest and his quote came in at a reasonable price and his payment terms was fair. His team started the job on time as agreed and the estimate in regard to how long the job would take was accurate. Overall, we were very impressed with his team. Victor, Hugh, Tony and Benny did an awesome job. When they started framing the layout, they saw a better vision for the basement and recommended a different layout that maximized the use of the space. We made a lot of changes along the way and with each change they gracefully adapted and modified what they were doing to accommodate our requests. They also kept making suggestions to improve upon what we envisioned. They treated our renovation as though they were doing their own basement. They really cared about our satisfaction, provided advice on colours and styling to ensure that we will enjoy the space once completed. Hugh was amazing – his response was always “no problem, we’ll make it happen”. Benny’s work ethic was outstanding. Very rarely do you come across someone dedicated to doing outstanding quality work as he is. The service was excellent. We could tell that our happiness was Victor’s number one priority. He also provided a lot of extras – such as installing lights, repairing our garage door and making other needed repairs around our home. We are so pleased with how our basement turned out and are happy that we chose Continental Brother’s Construction.

Victor and his team did a wonderful job on our basement renovation and at a price that was within our budget.

They treated the project as if they were working on one of their own homes. Their attention to detail and experience in what they do resulted in use truly maximizing the the space in our basement.

We are every pleased and are excited to start enjoying our renovated space.

Victor and team did a fantastic job on building our basement. I was able to consult and make adjustments on the fly. We are extremely happy and recommend Victor and team anytime.

We couldn't be happier with how well our renovated basement turned out. Victor and his crew were professional, courteous and worked with us every step of the way to help design and create our dream space. We had an open space and some ideas of what we wanted. But it wouldn't have turned out the way it did without Victor's expertise. He designed a layout that maximized the space and created a basement that is warm and inviting, rather than dark and dingy. We've had people over since getting everything done and everyone is amazed at the quality of workmanship and attention to detail. Extras, such as sub-flooring and backsplashes and puck lights, were often included free of charge. And whenever there was an issue, suggestion or we simply changed our mind on a design aspect after the fact, he and his crew were more than happy to ensure that we got what we wanted. I cannot recommend Continental Brothers enough.

Thank you.

I found Victor and his team via Trusted Pros last spring. I was looking to upgrade my townhouse in preparation for a sale this spring. I originally had him quote me for the kitchen and bathroom reno, but we added on a few other things as we discussed what work could be done.

Victor was very courteous and while the renos took about a week longer than I would have hoped, I was very happy with the final product.

If we can give a rating of more than 100 stars for Continental Brothers Construction Inc., we would definitely do so! This company was referred by a very satisfied homeowner that Continental Brothers completed last summer. Our basement renovation is our major investment, by far. We have never met a contractor who is not just committed but very passionate about perfection and customer satisfaction. The payment terms is fair and manageable. There were major obstacles along the way and with collaboration of ideas between us, Victor and Hung, these obstacles became opportunities for innovative solutions! Overall, the end result is of great quality - we are extremely happy.

We look forward to work with Continental Brothers Construction in our next project and highly recommend Victor, Hung and their team to all of our friends and family for any future renovation needs.

For a number of months, we were in the market for a basement renovation. We could not find any contractor willing to do the job within our budget not until our good neighbor introduced us to Continental Brothers Construction Inc. (who specialized in home renovation projects) thru Victor.

The company's owner/manager Victor Machado together with Hung saw our unfinished basement. We told them what we plan to have in the basement and both came out with helpful suggestions. The design concepts and ideas that Victor and Hung offered us soon turned into reality. The basement was beautifully completed and delivered on time. Work was done at the quoted price with no surprise extras. The workmanship was excellent and the quality outstanding. All in all, we were very impressed with the outcome.

We would definitely use them again for future renovations and recommend to anyone contemplating a home renovation.

Many thanks to Victor, Hung, Tony and the rest of the team for their service and professionalism. Kudos to you!!!

Professional and Excellent end result taping and finishing drywall. Murillo and his crew are perfectionists. There were absolutely no flaws in the taping. They worked diligently and took pride in their work. Absolutely the best, we were lucky to hire them.

Victor and team was great to work with and met our expectations. We did not have an end design in mind when we started but the team was very flexible in accommodating changes as work proceeded from stage to stage. After we selected our paint and tile colors Victor would share his opinion about the selection and would share options to ensure we are comfortable before the point of no return. He was responsive to all my calls and text even on the weekend. The work was completed in a timely manner and the quality was excellent. I highly recommend Continental Brothers Constructions.

Victor and his crew did a fantastic job with our basement renovation.

All old walls and ceiling removed, new insulation installed and new walls and ceiling put up. Great pot lights with dimmers. Old flooring removed and new subfloor and laminate floor installed.

High quality work done with attention to detail.

Thanks Victor. I will be calling you soon for additional work.

I am very happy we picked this company to complete our basement renovation. From our first meeting until the last day on the job, Victor and his team made sure we were heard in every aspect of the process. Like any major renovation, unforseen circumstances bring on challenges which Victor addressed with promptness and courtesy.

With his positive attitude, Victor and his team provided us with a clean, polished and a beautiful place for my family. I would recommend them to anyone.

This was a big basement renovation that required continuous management of the trades for a timely delivery of each step in the renovation process. This was effectively achieved through the due deligence of the Project Manager Victor. As with any major renovation undertaking, there were obstacles encountered and with collaboration of ideas between homeowners. Project Manager Victor and the trade's subject matter experts, these obstacles became opportunities for innovative solutions. Overall, the workmanship was of great quality and we were very pleased with the end results.

If I can give a rating of more than 5 stars for Continental FrameWrkz, I definitely would! I found this construction company through browsing online and through this website. My husband and I got a quote from four basement renovation contractors and of the four, it was Victor Machado (part-owner and manager of Continental FrameWrkz) that we find most comfortable and easiest to deal with during our first meeting. His quote was comparable with the two others, (the fourth one being just over the top), but we chose him because there was just this positive vibe in him that tells me that this guy is not ripping us off. Fortunately, our positive first impression of Victor lasted till the end! I have not met a contractor like Victor who is so passionate about ensuring that his clients get fully satisfied. His payment terms is fair and acceptable. He is owner/manager but he is as hard working as his team. He also showed us another basement that they were renovating which was 5 minutes away so I was convinced that what I see in the pictures online is as good as the actual. Since this basement renovation of ours is our biggest investment yet, I find it extremely important to work with someone that we can trust and communicate with, someone who has built his good reputation, hence reading reviews from websites like Trusted Pros is a must to me.

Victor, Hung (his business partner) and Tony come to the house on time, Monday to Friday, work straight and clean up their mess before they go home. Hung is the man with the 'Midas touch' – he is gifted with the golden touch because he executes the team’s ideas and those of ours perfectly. Tony is the ever quiet, smiling guy who just works as hard as the other members of the team. Victor’s paint team led by a very nice guy Nilcelio also did an excellent job at painting the basement walls.

Whenever we are home, Victor makes it a point to show us what they have accomplished at the end of the day. I have the tendency to be very particular so I appreciate it that Victor is open to ideas , suggestions and minimal changes along the way for as long as these are reasonable. There were also ideas that were quite unrealistic that I came up with while the renovation was progressing but good thing I listened to Victor because I would have spent more money on things that were not really warranted at all (e.g. I want ALL basement doors to be custom made and identical to the French double door and this would have been very costly and unnecessary ). Victor sticks with the budget with no surprises along the way except if there was an upgrade that I want and it was not part of what was originally agreed.

Now that our basement is done, my husband and I are just so amazed with its beautiful transformation. After a long day from work, I go down to the basement , sit and have some drinks in our mini bar with multi color led lights on, watch the kids as they enjoy their play area, get fascinated with the stone wall where our tv is installed, take a peek at the new three piece washroom that was just exquisitely done and just feel sooo proud that this big project of ours turned out to be everything that we want it to be … and even more! Kudos to Victor, Hung and the team! Truly another masterpiece of yours! Thank you for a job well done!

Victor Is Honest and trustworthy and Kind.His team was very proffessional. I Cant say enough how wonderful and helpful Victor to us. He was very patience and undestanding to everthing. He is very committed to his work and very passionate and he treats like our basement project was his own.Again Im loss for wods how great guy he is. We were so thankful and grateful to him. I cant say enough good things about him.

The original ensuite bathroom in our house was well past its best before date. The estimate was detailed as to the work to be done and who would supply what. They also had some good ideas on the latest in tile options. The price was fair and the work was completed on time and on budget. Good job

This is my Reno crew for life !

Right about now you've either been through a dozen reviews or are about to go through them, because you need something done and need help deciding ... Read on ..

I'm generally a very picky guy , and hard to deal with - not to mention I change my mind more often than .... my socks - it took me a year to decide that I wanted to finish my basement and started looking for a company to work with , I met Victor in December ( found his company on this site ) and discussed what I wanted to get done , we chatted , discussed ideas , pricing and I told him I'd get back to him as I needed to meet some other companies as well a couple months later I decided to go ahead with Continental brothers as their quote was close to what the job should have costed and of course their reviews helped too ( no they're not cheap, I just happen to know how much it should have costed based on what I wanted done etc , please research your project )

They started work on feb 29th and we're done by March 24th - right on time as agreed upon

Their workman ship is amazing , small details they capture that you wouldn't consider if this is your first Reno

His crew , Hung & Tony who work on framing , walks , electrical etc Are a great team and get things done really fast - the taping and mudding crew I think is one of the best ( compared to the work I've seen in other basements ) my floors came out just perfect - I'd sleep on them if I wasn't used to my bed

I also decided to add a shower and a wet bar last minute - and guess what , those additions came out just perfect and at a very reasonable amount - for all you Reno first timers , make sure who ever you go with doesn't rip you off when you change the layout or make additions - BECAUSE YOU WILL , as you see your project take life you will want to make it look better , and that's where Victor n his crew were very honest with pricing and flexible in design changes ( very very important )

In short , I trust these guys - and nothing says it better than that - they don't skim on the job because they love what they do , it's not just about the $$$ - it's l'passion !

See attached pictures , some before and some after - and I'd hire them again with my eyes wide shut

Victor, Hung & crew - thank you so much for the beautiful space and an amazing experience overall , from start to finish

Best of luck !!

Victor and his team did a great job in renovating our 2 bathrooms. Victor was very accommodating in our needs and provided excellent suggestions on our tiles, paint colours, etc. without forcing us to go with his decisions. He was also very informative and answered all the questions we had, even after the job was completed he took the time to reach out and make sure the bathrooms were working great. Our next project will be our kitchen so I am definitely looking forward to working with Continental FrameWrkz again.

I hired Continental brothers to finish my basement one month ago. I hadn’t read any recommendations before contacting them, so I was a little hesitant. But in one week, all my worries were gone, especially after I saw how neatly and professionally they were working.

They gave us a lot of choices to choose from regarding tiles, laminate and painting. They had great ideas in the design to add more space to our basement and also, they were very flexible to change the design according to our needs. This weekend we had visitors for the first time in the basement and all of them admired their work. Of course I would recommend them to anyone, and will contact them again in our next project.

We really liked the work and the finished product that Victor and his staff did.

Fair estimate, very high quality standards, project completed on time, very clean and project never went over budget. Not only does Continental Framewrks perform an excellent job with great attention to details, but Victor and Hahn have great taste in finishes as well as very good plans for fit and function in order to utilize your basement space to maximize its full potential.

We highly recommend Continental Framewrks for any future home renovations.

Myself and my family , would like to thank you for the good work you did at my family home and the future projects at my family home , keep up the good work :)

Although we are healthy seniors, we were concerned that our 900 sq. ft. bungalow bathroom was too tiny to enable us to remain in our home if we became ill or differently-abled. Victor, Hung and his team provided guidance on adapting our wants for the bathroom to fit the structural realities for expanding the space. The end result, in my opinion, is a bright spacious room that will be wheel chair / walker accessible.

Victor, Hung and company did a great job in our basement renovation. Victor completed the work as agreed upon, our requirements are always changing but Victor is very flexible and accommodated our request. We are very pleased with the result.

We first contacted Victor for a quote to frame our basement. He was very professional and his quote was very reasonable. We decided to hire Victor and his crew to do our basement framing.

Vic and Hung did such a great job with the framing work we decided to complete our entire basement. Both Victor and Hung had great ideas and suggestions for the renovations, and we now have a great looking basement with beautiful finishings. I would use Victor and Hung again for my next project and I do recommend Continental Brothers Renovations Inc. to anyone who is looking for great workmanship, from professional and reliable contractors.

Excellent company that we would recommend to everyone including family and friends. victor, hung and his team were very knowledgeable, courteous, cleaned up after themselves and very professional. we were so happy with completion of the bathroom that we now have decided to complete the whole basement. great job guys !!! thank-you.

Continental FrameWrkz is an excellent company that you can count on for high quality home improvements. We needed to renovate our basement and we had several quotes. Because we had a negative experience with previous contractors we were quite nervous in the beginning. But we are very glad that we chose Continental FrameWrkz. We are extremely happy with the price, quality of the materials, design, workmanship and overall experience in dealing with Continental FrameWrkz. Now we have a sparkling new basement that we love and has added tremendous value to our house. Victor and his team are very friendly, knowledgeable, professional, and courteous. More than anything else they take pride in their work and strive for excellence. We highly recommend Continental FrameWrkz for your home improvement needs.

Excellent job overall,washroom and flooring were a huge improvement ,with-in our budget. Vic and Huong are both professional and courteous and tidied up daily their work site. I am very pleased how things turned out.

This 50 year old bungalow had very little work done on it over the years. Victor, Hung and the team came in and did an excellent job. We are quite pleased with the work. They had some great ideas and suggestions which made a huge difference in the overall look and functionality of the house.

We had never used a contractor before and was a bit worried. After meeting Victor and the team, we felt very comfortable that we can trust them. They worked very hard to keep the project on time.

I highly recommend Continental Brothers .

After having multiple companies give me estimates for a basement bathroom Victor and his team came and not only offered a very competitive quote but were also the most professional and made sure to fully explain the work needed on a job some "pros" said couldn't be done.The work came out amazing and Victors attention to detail really shows, my basement bathroom is now the nicest one in my home.I will definitely be recommending Continental Framewrkz to friends and family.

Victor was great to work with. He talked me through each step of the process. He only charged the amount quoted. The finished basement is beautiful and is above our expectations. We would highly recommend Victor and his crew at Continental FrameWrkz.

The team is extremely professional, exceeded our expectations in both the quality of work and the promptness in finishing the job. We are very happy with the work, and I'm recommending the company to my friends and family members.

Victor and his team were highly professional, punctual and a pleasure to work with. As an interior designer , FW Decor always seeks to work contractors that will pay attention to detail, be able to work around the clients schedule and due to that we love going back Continental FrameWrkz.

Victor delivers what he guarantees and makes the transition for us as designers as well as the client an easy one.

Two thumbs up!

We found the members of Continental FrameWrkz to be very helpful and supportive during the repair of the damage caused by flooding in our basement. The initial estimate was clear, and as we became satisfied with their work and comfortable with their suggestions we welcomed their advice regarding our own desire for further modifications, including the renewing of a washroom and the "roughing in" of plumbing to another room. We found the members of Continental FrameWrkz to be friendly and highly reliable and we were able to get in touch with Mr. Machado very quickly whenever we had a question. The members of this company were also able to coordinate with other contractors we had hired. We recommend this company without reservation.

I found Victor and Hung and their team through this site and they were very professional, hard working and helpful in all of their work. I dealt with Victor majority of the time. He was always quick in his responses and even offered best practices and alternative solutions that fit our existing budget and timelines. Their workmanship was impeccable and my basements looks amazing. All the staff that worked with Victor were quite meticulous in their delivery of work. Victor recommended that we visit the basement every day after the work was completed and asked for feedback so that we can address any issues ahead of time (they weren't any). I am pleased to recommend Victor to anyone who wants to complete their basement and wants a hassle-free project.

I found Continental on this website when I was having a hard time finding a contractor to restore our basement after the flooding in July 2013. Victor was very helpful from the beginning. His quote matched his work. His partner Hung did a great job as well. They used quality materials and Victor only suggested things that he would use or do in his own home. Communication was very good and they completed the job in the time they quoted which was really important.

I have known Victor for a few years now and work in the construction field myself. Not only have I used Continentals service but I also had a customer inquire about a basement renovation that I couldn't fit into my schedule so I called Victor @ Continental Framewerkz to see if he was interested. Not only did they do the job, ( ON TIME and Right the first time), but I had the customer call me back thanking me for recommending them . Quality professionials.
