Shane's Contracting

Shane's Contracting just completed my second duplex conversion project. Despite working through the pandemic, Shane honoured the originally priced lump sum contract and was also very reasonable when pricing the extra work that we requested. Schedule overruns resulting from supplier and sub-trade issues were mitigated by Shane's resourcefulness and ability to always source alternate material suppliers and trades as needed.

The finished product is great and we are having no issues achieving top of market rents and attracting AAA tenants.

Shane will be starting in on Project number three soon.

Thanks again Shane!

Meeting Shane was a blessing. I have heard many bad things about contractors, and the first day I met Shane, I knew he was the guy to give my job to, and his price was reasonable compare to the other contractors I have gotten a quote from, but I was still skeptical.

The project was for him to renovate a whole house and also create a separate entrance to the house basement for extra income. He did as planned and beyond.

In between the projects, there were multiple lockdowns by the govt due to COVID. We also had to move our belongings before they could renovate, and he was off-site for over a month. we thought we wouldn't see him again but low and behold, he appeared and did all the renovations

Moreover, I thought he would increase the quote in between the projects because materials that we agreed on went over the roof due to COVID, but Shane didn't ask for extra cents.

He is polite, friendly, trustworthy, honest, and so on.

I will work with him over and over again.

Danke Shane

We hired Shane and his team to do a full gut job and rebuild of our 110 year old home in Toronto, and the finished product is even more beautiful than we could have dreamed. Shane is reliable and easy to communicate with, and we trusted him entirely with the project. He had great design suggestions and made good executive decisions on some big choices that improved the overall quality and efficiency of the house. The other team member we worked closely with, Jesse, is so kind and professional and treated our home with the same attentiveness and pride as though it were his own. They somehow managed to complete the project within a reasonable schedule during a pandemic, and we are just so thrilled and grateful with the result.

Shane is a fabulous and honest contractor. We are really happy with his work. He finished our basement renovation within our pre-agreed budget. Highly appreciate the craftsmanship exhibited by him and his team. Special shout out to Jessi for his excellent work ethics.Highly recommend.

I hired Shane’s contracting to complete my duplex conversion in Oshawa. The job was awarded early March, about one week before the global pandemic hit Ontario full force.

Despite the circumstances, Shane and his team were able to complete to job on time and on budget and the units are both amazing.

Shane accommodated all requests and priced extras fairly (and completed many others free of charge). He had a keen attention to detail and his problem solving abilities delivered on many of my requests that were above and beyond the originally agreed upon scope of work.

When hiring a contractor there are a few key values and characteristics that I look for:

-knowledge/ professionalism

-honesty/ trust

-open lines of communication

Shane delivered on all of the above. Throughout my first project working with him I was constantly grateful for having made the choice of hiring the RIGHT contractor for the job. I look forward to many more successful projects working with Shane!

Side note: please don’t get too busy! I need you again for my next project!

We are very pleased with our brand new bathroom!

Shane and his team provide high quality and top-notch work. They don't "cut corners" like many companies do.

It's rare to find a contracting company in Toronto that has such high integrity.

We look forward to hiring Shane and his team again in the future.

Showed up on time, did the job competently, professionally and in time frame scheduled, no drama just results. I would definitely use again, I highly recommend.

Hello all

I hired Shane recently for a complete basement renovation, and it was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made regarding home ownership. I’m extremely satisfied with the end result.

I’ve had contractor headaches in the past, so I was a bit nervous going into finding the right team for my basement remodel. I had 5 guys come out to quote the job and while a few seemed suitable, Shane stood out from the bunch. He was the only one who identified and questioned a visible water saturation spot on my basement floor, and wanted to ensure that issue was addressed before more finishing work was done above it. That alone told me he worked with integrity and wanted to do the job right, as we had problems in the past with water accumulation in the basement.

Shane wasn’t the cheapest quote for the basement job of the 5, but at the same time he wasn’t the highest and I’d be leery of quotes that are on the low end of the scale anyways. “Too good to be true” can apply to home renovations of course, and as is with most things in life you generally get what you pay for. At the end of the day I simply wanted to find an honest contractor with the necessary skills to do the work at a fair price, which is what I thankfully found.

Shane is great with communication, does excellent work and he has a keen eye for home design. He advised me on more than a few choices along the way, from design to finishings, and they all have worked out really well. Very knowledgeable about his craft and easy to talk to about anything throughout the process. Stayed on budget and when additional work was added he was very reasonable with his pricing.

The guys he brought to my house - Fernando and Jesse, were fantastic. Quality workmanship, very polite, respectful, contractors you’d feel comfortable with working alone in your home. They too offered helpful insight and good suggestions on what would look best, and were great to talk to in general.

The guys did a great job of being tidy and controlling dust downstairs. They put up thick drop sheets to block off the entranceway to the main floor from the basement - really appreciated the thought taken in this regards. The team always cleaned up outside if they were using the saws, and every day before they left they would ensure the job site downstairs was tidy (as clean as possible given it’s a renovation). Nothing lying around that could be a hazard, as we still had to access the area for laundry purposes.

All in all, I’m very satisfied with choosing Shane for the project. He was always on time and a man of his word, the team he has with him are great, and they did a wonderful job recreating my basement from start to finish. If you’re on the fence about who to trust with your home renovation work and family investment, you’ll be happy you chose Shane. He’s everything you can reasonably ask for when looking for work done on your house.

Thank you Shane, Jesse and Fernando again for all your efforts during your time with us, and for being such great guests throughout. You gents do quality work, your pride shows in the finished product, and my family and I enjoy the renewed space you’ve helped provide. All the best, merry Xmas, and you’ll be hearing from me next year for future projects.

Kind regards

David

We own an older 1917 Victorian home and our 2 bathrooms were in need of a complete gut and renovation. A friend had told us about Shane and his company so we reached out to them by email. Shane responded the next day and came to see our home the next night, The following morning Shane sent us a quote as he'd promised and it came in on par with the other two quotes we'd received. So with the great referral and competitive price, we went with Shane's Contracting. We are so ecstatic over that decision! Shane and his crew are truly skilled craftsmen and their attention to detail is unmatched. At every step of the project they gave detailed updates and provided us with recommendations. Shane's vision was spot on and greatly appreciated as this process was all very new to us. At the end of the project which was on time and on budget, when we finally saw the completed bathrooms we were both beyond impressed....the bathrooms were perfect. Now our bathrooms have the straightest lines this old house has ever seen! We would highly recommend Shane's Contracting for their high quality workmanship, keen eye for detail and top notch professionalism. We are planning to do a complete kitchen renovation and no one else besides Shane's Contracting will be trusted to do it. Highly recommend! 

Shane was awesome to work with. We have a Century home that has all the typical issues of an old home. Nothing is straight and you never know what you will find once you open the wall or floor! We needed the main bathroom gutted, updated and remodelled. In addition the house had old cast plumbing in the basement and several areas throughout the house where water damage had occurred.

Shane gave us several ideas and options, a quote and a time frame. He showed up when he said he would, he finished when he said he would and he was easy to communicate with throughout the project.

Shane custom built us a shower, finished the floors and walls with tile, redirected and replace all our plumbing, rewired, and added a ventilation fan, as well as replaced the old plumbing in the basement and addressed the drywall issues throughout the house. We could not be happier with the end product or the experience we had working with Shane and his folks. On time, on budget, clean and courteous. Not sure what else you can ask from your contractor. Thanks Shane. You’re our first call on our next project!!
