Customer Reviews

Laura Munroe-Onsen

We recently hired Caliber Contracting for a main floor renovation of our home. We are extremely happy with the work, the service, and the commitment of Marc and the Caliber team - especially their attention to detail in every step of the reno. The work was completed on schedule. Marc kept us informed with constant updates throughout the entire renovation of nearly 3 months. The workers and tradespeople who worked on our home were very polite and professional, particularly since we were still living in the house during this time with two kids and a dog. We are VERY happy with the finished product! The kitchen, the flooring, the stairs, the bathroom, the lighting - everything turned out better than our expectations. Really can't recommend them enough! GREAT WORK! And another shout out to our project manager, March Chiarenza, for his impeccable customer service. He was on top of everything from start to finish.

On time, on budget and exceeded expectations every step of the way! I can’t say enough good things about my experience working with Marc and the Caliber team! These guys are top notch professionals who care about what they do and deliver on the commitments they make. Mine was a full home renovation of a century home at a challenging time. I was fully prepared to have this reno be a tremendously stressful part of my life and it turned out to be the complete opposite ... Marc lead the project every step of the way and was a pleasure to work with! He brought a calm positive energy to the job, was super responsive, listened and asked questions to be clear on my vision, explained things clearly, answered my questions and concerns with care and attention (sometimes twice!), offered welcome options, suggestions and guidance on decisions I was uncertain on, and kept me in the loop with all of the ups and downs that go along with renovating an older home. Rich, Ryoji, and each trade and member of the team I interacted with were equally fantastic. They all contributed ideas, creativity, exceptional skill, and hard work to get a result even better than I could have imagined. My home looks and feels incredible! The whole experience was like a fairy tale story of home renovations :) Thank you Marc and team for overdelivering and getting me and the kids in in time for Christmas ??

Maggie Campbell

We've had an amazing experience with Caliber Contracting! It started almost a year ago with plans to demo and rebuild our dream home. After several months of planning our circumstances changed and a full blown reno came to be our new dream. Our 135 year old home has become a new modern, beautiful home. The kitchen is absolutely incredible! The communication and attention to detail is impressive from Caliber. Thank you Marc for helping make our dream home a reality!

What happens during a Caliber Blueprint Session?

Before meeting, the company researches the property's zoning, by-laws and compliance. On site, it assesses services, structure, drainage, budget and schedule.

Is the Blueprint Session free?

Yes. It is free and comes with no obligation to build with the company.

How long does a Caliber kitchen renovation take?

A typical kitchen renovation takes 8 to 14 weeks from demolition to completion, depending on scope.

Does Caliber manage renovation permits?

For renovation projects requiring permits, the company manages the process, including drawings, engineering and inspections.

Can homeowners stay in their homes during a Caliber renovation?
