Marvin Baker Construction

The work is average:

1, window installation seemed to be okay, but found to cause water leaking, which I fixed;

2, I had to finish up the microwave installation;

Time line is terrible: requested and received full payment on Nov. 25th, 2016, and the final part of work done on May 20th, 2017.

I don't feel comfortable to work this contractor any more:

1, the license number he provides is not under his name;

2, requested price increase after received about 50% deposit;

3, requested full payment before all work was done.

Update May 23rd, 2017: He did the last portion of work on May 20th, 2017.

I really don't know where to start. I hired Marvin based on his ratings from this website. This was one of the worse decision in my life so far. It started badly from the start. Marvin hires very poor craftsmen and it shows very easily.

Long story short, he caused THREE water damages to our apartment and subsequent unit beneath me. His redone the bathroom tiles twice and they still aren't done properly. He claimed to have completed the flooring but after doing a quality check, I realized he didn't complete the flooring under the kitchen cabinets (standing on the plywood at the moment). He damaged our doors, plumbing and incorrectly plastered our child's room. He doesn't take any responsibility for anything fearing he'd have to pay for rework.

Marvin abandoned the project not taking responsibility for the water damage invoices which are currently under my name. The icing on the cake is that Marvin used another RBQ number which isn't associated with him. After some investigation, it seems he's been in court a number of times.

We've spoken to a number of designers in Montreal and they've all spoken poorly of Marvin and his reputation. Please ppl, stay away from this guy!!!!!!!

I have no choice but to seek legal action against him for the way he left our family without an apartment to return.

STAY AWAY!!!!! And please select a Contractor based on reputation.

I don't typically enjoy having to do any major renovations as I don't always get what I'm promised but Marvin and his team came through with flying colors.

I had an aggressive 1 week timeline for an entire bathroom renovation and Marvin delivered on time, exactly as promised.

He kept me updated every step of the way and made sure to get my input and approval on all design choices.

He's a pro's pro.

Did an excellent job replacing my kitchen floor, friendly, fast and on budget.

I highly recommend Marvin Baker Construction!

He respect his clients and does the job within the deadline he proposed. And also they clean the mess everyday while on project.

If something is not to my taste days after the project I can call him and his team will come and fix it with no additional cost.

Re tiling 60 sq ft of shower, was completed in 2 days

I find myself once again in the enviable position of recommending the services of Marvin Baker Construction.

A few years ago Marvin and I worked together on an addition at my place of business. The work turned out so professionally I vowed to call him should I ever have work of my own in the future.

As it happened, my wife and I began designing a major home reno that would involve gutting our entire first floor; a floor-wide, open concept. Marvin’s consummate attention to details allowed my wife and I to relax into his hands with complete confidence. The work exceeded our expectations and we couldn’t be more pleased.

Mr. Baker and crew were consummate professionals and I would not hesitate for a second have him do any work you may have.

--ENGLISH--

I hired Marvin to redo my bathroom and it had to be done asap. Marvin proved reliable and very flexible about the whole thing.

His staff is very professional and reliable. Any issues (there are always a few surprises in any project) were dealt with quickly and to my satisfaction.

I was floored at how quickly everything got done and am totally happy with the result. I would definitely hire him again for any other projects in the future.

I highly recommend him for anyone looking for a contractor in the Montreal area.

Marvin Baker made our first renovation experience a very good one. His guys did our bathroom up in just a few days - tub, toilet, vanity, ceramics, lighting, the works. They solved the unexpected problems and made the necessary changes here and there without busting our budget. They were on time and cleaned up at the end of every day. And our new bathroom is beautiful.

We will definitely be calling Marvin Baker for our next reno project and highly recommend him.

Marvin Baker and his associates turned a large and scary project for me into an enjoyable and very satisfying experience. The bottom line was we were finished on time and on budget with many improvements made to the original spec by these folks. I would recommend them to anyone looking for quality work and great solutions to home renovation projects.

I am very happy with Marvin Baker Construction.

They came right away to assess my requirements and a Plumber was sent within an hour to correct a blocked drain. I would recomend this company to anyone.

Our basement renovation went like a breeze. Our contractor was on time and within our budget. We are very happy with the over all results.
