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.
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.
