Kind Words From Our Clients

Cameron did an outstanding job installing a new shower!!

Brian Breckles

Shower Installation

We would highly recommend Bacvar Building for your next renovation! Cameron and his crew finished our basement and created an amazing new Rec Room for our family to enjoy for many years to come. Cameron provided detailed updates throughout the process, to ensure we always knew what was going on, and what was coming next - which I greatly appreciated! He also promptly answered any questions we had about the project, and tackled any changes or adjustments we needed along the way. The whole process went smoothly, and we are extremely happy with how everything turned out!

Bathroom Renovation

Maureen Rich

I have worked with several contractors over the years. I reached out to Cameron to take on a renovation for a bathroom and main floor reno. He exceeded my expectations with his attention to detail and communication. The finished product looks amazing!

Main Floor Renovation

Cameron was wonderful to work with. He added a wet bar to our basement, and it is the perfect addition to the space. He was professional, knowledgeable, and very easy to work with throughout the process. Cameron offered great ideas and options to help guide our decisions, and he took real time and care to ensure everything was done right. We couldn’t be happier and would highly recommend Cameron and Bacvar Building!

Erin Graham

Wet Bar

Cameron and his crew remodelled our master bath and did a phenomenal job! They let us know when to expect them and arrived every day on time ready to tackle the reno! Every level of care was taken to protecting the pathway to/from the bathroom during the entire job. Very friendly, courteous and ready to provide their expertise for the job at hand. Every day, they never left without cleaning up from the day’s work – knowing we had to live amongst the chaos. It’s easy to tell they take a high level of care and have an fine attention to detail and quality when bringing our vision to reality. We are ecstatic with the end product and no doubt will keep Bacvar in mind for the next renovation!

Cameron did an excellent job on our main bathroom. He took care to complete the job with a high degree of skill, quality and design. I would definitely work with him again!

Brennan Powers

Bathroom Renovation

Cameron provided a great renovation experience. All of his extra touches were greatly appreciated. Quality was at the forefront throughout the entire project. We didn’t have to worry about the workmanship or materials that you don’t see (waterproofing, floor underlay, etc. ) - we could trust that proper prep was completed and quality materials were installed with care & skill. It was evident that customer care and communication are important to Cameron. We were kept informed throughout the process. In addition to text and email, the use of project software gave us one organized place to view & review all documents, messages and regular updates. We would highly recommend Bacvar Building … you won’t be disappointed!

Karen Roth

Bathroom Renovation

Cameron brings integrity, passion and excellence to the job site every time he comes. By far the best contracting service I have dealt with.My first contact with Bacvar Building was their website and that blew me away with its quality and information. He communicates very well and he won our business with a proposal of the front vestibule render. As our dream house has a beautiful front I wanted to ensure a nice addition. And he got it to perfection. Bacvar also has superb suppliers and trades.
