Continental Brothers Construction Inc.

If I can give a rating of more than 10 stars for Continental Brothers Construction Inc., 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 Bros) 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 Homestars 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 bathroom 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!
