Renovated my Master Bath,
Excellent experience. These guys say what they do, and do what they say. I narrowed it down to 5 contactors and chose Canto because they were responsive to every question during the selection process, I asked for clarification of their bid and they detailed it way more closely than the others. They started on time, did first class work – including suggestions. Very flexible. Cleaned up every day when they were done. Stayed out for a weekend when I had guests. Just very easy to work with. Job will be finished tonight and it is outstanding. They cleared and cleaned their way out.
I have done many projects like this in my life and couldn’t recommend Canto more highly. Ask for Chris. You’re gonna like it.

After interviewing numerous companies for our major reconstruction job, we felt Canto Corp. Construction was capable, eager and fairly priced. Before hiring Chris Canto and his company we called a number of his other customers, all giving him high praise. We hired Chris to redo the second floor of our home, meaning demoing our two bedroom, one bath floor and rebuilding a three bedroom, two bath level, adding an attic and central air conditioning throughout the entire house. We also resided the entire house. Canto Corp. made the renovation process very easy for us. First of all, the reno began in early November which means our 8-9 week construction job ran through the holidays. We continued to live in the house during the construction with 5 and 11 year old children (Santa was still able to find his way down the chimney). We had terrible weather at some points; hurricane-like rain and even a foot of snow. The siding guys were dodging ice cycles. All that being said, our living space remained untouched, the crew was very neat and considerate. Chris was on-site every day, overseeing every aspect of the job and making suggestions to us to even better the look of our house. He was also available at any time, even taking our calls at night. Our house is beautiful! We receive compliments to this day and numerous people have asked us for tours. We have recommend Chris Canto and his team to anyone looking for a contractor.

Chris and his crew renovated our bathroom, which involved removing a wall, constructing another wall with a door, and relocating another door (as well as relocating the plumbing and the fixtures). They also handled the electrical, and tiled the bathroom floor and shower. They were extremely professional and did quality work. The bathroom looks great, and you would never know where the walls had been previously. I would definitely use them again.

We needed to expand our home as my mother had suddenly became ill and need to move in with us. We interviewed many contractors before meeting with Chris, the owner, of Canto Corp Construction. We told him what we needed the house to look like when the construction would be complete not knowing if it could be accomplished as the prior contractors we interviewed just didn’t understand our “vision”. After speaking with Chris for about 10 minutes, Chris drew a picture for my husband and I reflecting what he though “our vision” was…. he understood!! It was exactly what we wanted: a space that could be used for my mother now and be repurposed as family space at a later time. Chris seemed to be as excited about the project as we were. The following week we met with Chris and his architect, Tommy. They took measurements, pictures, and we discussed the project again to make sure we were all on the same page. The initial plans were completed in one week. As a matter off fact, the architect completed two sets of plans, one with our vision and one with our vision improved. We all met again to discuss the project, the plans and decided on a plan the combined the two visions. After out final approval, Chris submitted the plans to my town and obtained all the permits in less than 2 weeks. As a matter of fact, I found out later that the plans needed some kind of revision on them before they could be accepted. Chris and his architect took care the issue and didn’t tell me about it until it was already resolved.
Chris went over the contract with my husband and I, making sure we understood everything. While we were signing the contract, Chris told us that they would be starting to excavate the foundation in 3 days. Chris even had samples with him so that we can start selecting roofing and siding materials. Chris told my husband and I that he was committed to our project and expected to complete it within 4-6 weeks. He said that a project like ours should typically take 90 days but since he wanted my seriously ill mother to move in to her new space sooner than later, he and his team would be concentrating on our project. Chris informed us that he would need to disconnect and relocate our central air conditioning unit before they started excavating. He made sure that the unit was moved, drained and up and running all in the same day as he wanted us to be as comfortable as possible. We are currently one week into the project and everything has been going very smoothly. Chris has made the entire process from our initial meeting until this point as painless and easy as possible. My husband and I had our first meeting with Chris the end of May 2014 and construction started 7 weeks later! I would recommend his company to everyone and I would definitely use them again.

We hired Chris to help us create a handicapped accessible bathroom, an area where he has some experience. We adjusted the location of the bathroom by moving a wall and a closet door, then gutted the inside and put in a new walk-in shower, a wall-hung sink and a new toilet. We were very pleased with the results. Chris and his crew do quality work. They were here when promised, the work took the amount of time Chris said it would, and they were very good about cleaning up afterward. Before work began, Chris knew where to purchase the low-threshold base for the shower. He made useful suggestions on how to keep the cost reasonable by using some expensive tile we had chosen as an accent rather than for the entire shower. And at one point he had me return some tile I purchased by pointing out that it hadn’t been cut properly and wasn’t straight.

He has done two bathroom renovations on our house. He was exceedingly easy to work with and is extremely easy to communicate with. He appreciated my input and was very good about feedback and keeping me updated on his schedule.
If there was a problem, he would come back and fix it.

Complete remodel of existing 1940s-era 5’ x 7’ bathroom, including demolition, new plumbing and electrical, insulation, sheetrock, wall and floor tile, and painting, as well as installation of new tub, toilet and sink and all other fixtures and accessories. I worked with Chris Canto in 2009 to replace my back porch. I was very pleased with the outcome of that project and did not hesitate to contact him again for my bathroom remodel. Again, I was not disappointed. From start to finish, Canto Corp. workers demonstrated a high level of skill and exceptional attention to detail. During the 3-week process they always arrived promptly and were friendly and courteous. They were respectful of my home and property, always cleaning up well at the end of each work day. I am extraordinarily pleased with the quality of the workmanship throughout – and very happy with the finished bathroom! Chris was present on an almost daily basis to oversee the work and to resolve minor problems as they arose. He was there to lend advice and to offer support when the stresses of the project (the anticipated ones as well as the inevitable surprises) threatened to overwhelm. He treated my concerns with respect and was generous with his time. I would highly recommend Canto Corp. to any homeowner looking to remodel. Chris Canto can be expected to provide exceptional expertise, rare integrity and reliability, and a remarkable commitment to his customers’ satisfaction.

Chris called us back after we left the initial message on his answering machine. That alone got us off to a wonderful start! He made an appointment to stop by and showed up exactly when he said he would. We described what we had in mind and showed him a set of architect’s plans which we had drawn up. We spoke about some of the ideas we had and he took the plans with him. He ended up improving on the original design and had many ideas that other contractors had not thought of. Chris was very good at coordinating all of the various element of our project and made very good use of the time available. Not only did Chris and his crew show up every time they said they would, but all of the subcontractors, roofers, siders, dry wall people, electricians, and plumbers he engaged did as well. All of them did a superb job under Chris Canto’s watchful eye. I can’t begin to tell you how pleased we are with our beautiful new sunroom.
Canto Construction removed a small 7 1/2 x 11 Ft. screened-in porch in the back of our house and replaced it with a 10 x 12 sunroom which they built on a deck. The room was built with radiant hot water heating under a tile floor which was what we specified. This required the services of a plumbing/heating contractor familiar with this type of work and we were very impressed with the expertise of the company that Chris Canto brought with him to do this part of the project. Chris was very innovative from the beginning and came up with some ideas that we had not thought of ourselves – several of which gave us a bigger room at a lower cost.Roz, Fair Lawn, NJ
