We hired John to do a full basement development including a main living space, bedroom, full bathroom and 2 utility areas. We also needed a repair of a poorly constructed area around some floor plates that had moisture issues. John was very thorough, with a clear cut plan for each step of the development and always kept us in the loop regarding progress, budget, and any issues. The repair of the pre-existing defect was done with all proper permits and with great quality of workmanship. All his subcontractors were high quality, with the only small issue arising with some wiring of specially ordered light switches, which I was able to figure out. All the doors, and finishings were matched to the upstairs perfectly, the trim work including rounded corners looks perfect and the California style ceiling looks so much better than the typical popcorn-type. Painting required a few small touch-ups and the flooring (tile in bathroom, carpet in main area, painted concrete in utility rooms) was flawless. Would definitely hire John again for any future renovation needs.
John did an excellent job on our projects. His work met our needs completely. He was able to successfully complete the work in a timely fashion despite the relatively small time window we had for the work done.
We had a bare basement and wanted to add a bedroom, full bathroom, living room, and storage space. We live in a historic home, which has all original wood that we wanted to match for the basement. John did a great job matching the style in the basement to the rest of the house, and the quality of the work was excellent. We are very happy with the final product, and would use John again for future renos.
When my husband decided he wanted to do develop our unfinished basement, my first response was that he should also price out relationship therapists and divorce lawyers. Thank goodness we found In the Mind's Eye. The estimate for the work fell in the middle of the 3 estimates we got but the thing that made the difference was the references for In the Mind's Eye. They were all glowing. I understand why now.
John and his team developed our unfinished basement into a home theater/bar. The final mancave exceeded all of our expectations. John took our poorly worded description, consisting mostly of vague ideas and hand gestures and converted it into exactly what we were hoping for.
He went above and beyond to make sure we understood exactly what he was doing and when questions arose he provided us with options and an idea of the cost behind each option.
He provided us with a very detailed contract at the start of the project and the few changes we requested were documented via change orders and signatures by both parties. There were no surprises at all in the contract or the job.
Every single one of the tradespeople he brought in were professional and polite and the care they took to ensure the main floor of the house remained as clean as possible was fabulous to see. There were no muddy footprints, no dirty handprints and there was a drop cloth on the floor at all times. Obviously drywall dust is pretty pervasive, but they did keep the basement door closed to minimize that as well.
This project came in under our expected budget and far ahead of the schedule we had agreed upon.
John even went ahead and actually connected the surround speakers for my husband, even though that was never part of the scope.
We'd recommend In the Mind's Eye to anyone looking to do a reno.
Hello,
We recently had our basement completed by Mind's Eye Contracting and could not be more pleased with the finished product and the renovation process. From start to finish everyone was kind, polite and highly professional; as well as easy to work with. John was extremely accommodating with all of our request, his pricing estimates were bang on if not slightly above what the actual cost was, the suppliers for the construction materials were equally as good as the contractors who he uses. Our renovation took two weeks longer than planed but that was not the fault of Minds Eye but delays in the delivery of custom material for our renovation. If we had to do our build over again from start to finish we would only change he lay out and some materials, but would select Minds Eye Contracting to do our renovation and would use them again in any future renovations

In The Minds Eye Contracting recently completed the development of our basement - on time, on budget and without hitch, glitch or problem. I would specifically like to commend John Csuhany of In the Minds Eye for his attention to detail, his forthrightness and his excellent communication thoughout the duration of the project. John did exactly as he promised, from beginning to end. His team of specialists were equally competent, courteous and considerate. I enjoyed just standing back and watching it all happen and fall into place, and without hesitation recommend John and In the Minds Eye to anyone wishing to restore / renovate (which John specialises in) or develop.
We had a fantastic experience with John! We are absolutely delighted with the quality of workmanship in our basement. From the initial estimate onwards, all details of the job were very clearly communicated and I was always well informed of what work was being done on a specific day and who would be doing it. Further any decisions were brought to my attention for discussion, and John ensured that I had time to consider options and make the best choice for my family. The sub contractors were just as courteous as John was and definitely took pride in their work as if it was there own home. I have 2 small children, so maintaining cleanliness was paramount to me. John had the work site tidied often and my entry way was kept free of dust and dirt with drop clothes. We would absolutely recommend In The Mind's Eye Contracting to all our friends and neighbours and hope to have John return for another project soon!
