Why renovations go over budget and over time

Most renovation stories that end badly start the same way. Here is what usually goes wrong, and what we do differently on every job.

What often goes wrong

  • Every trade is a different company

    When the contractor hands each trade to someone else, each one adds a markup and nobody owns the schedule.

  • The price moves halfway through

    A quote written without a proper visit misses things, and the extras show up once the walls are open.

  • The job drags on for months

    A crew spread across too many sites leaves your home waiting for weeks between trades.

Claudio Marcelo Navarro, founder of CNG Contracting
Claudio Marcelo NavarroFounder, runs every project

A family-run team, building since 2005

  • Family-run since 2005

    Claudio Marcelo Navarro founded CNG after years with Ontario builders. He is a licensed inspector and a member of the Ontario Building Officials Association, and he still runs every project.

  • One team for every trade

    Our partners lead the electrical, the plumbing, the concrete and the exterior work, so you do not have to coordinate five contractors.

  • Everything in writing

    You get the scope, the price and the schedule on paper before any work starts, and one person keeps you updated.

  • Permits and inspections

    We prepare the drawings, apply for the City permits and book every inspection the job needs.

What our clients say

Word for word from our Google profile.

  • When we first met Claudio, we had a great experience as he walked us through the entire project process according to what we needed; he made a drawing on the spot and accurately created the estimate.

    Our questions were answered as we went along the process, including the selection of materials. He showed us which were high-quality and worth paying for.

    When we started the project, the CNG Contracting team showed up on time, and everything was according to schedule. They had a process assuring the completion stage was on time, and we had no delay.

    Something very important to us was that we had control of the finances; the payment schedule concluded after the stages, not before. Also, it was noticeable the system was created to protect our investment and we believe that the transparency that CNG Contracting runs their business is very reliable and trustworthy giving us access to a follow-up system where we could keep an eye on the project from the pictures and videos uploaded regularly.

    Our experience with Customer service was perfect, whenever we had a question or need, any time of the day, we contacted Claudio and had all our questions explained and answered.

    The CNG Team had the house protected from day ONE, covering floors/ staircase/ hallways and creating containments to minimize the dust throughout the project; overall, the house was clean, safe and organized every day.,

    At the end of the project, we had a Professional (PDI) inspection and warranty included for any minor adjustments or touch-ups needed, as well as a 2-YEAR WARRANTY for all our plumbing / electrical and HVAC installed AND INSPECTED by CNG.

    If you want to be surprised and impressed with things you were not expecting, CNG is the team to hire! They go above and beyond your expectations, no doubt about that; they are a very passionate team of guys who love what they do, respect your home, and protect your investment.

    That’s why We would only recommend CNG Contracting to anyone looking for a (AAA) licensed, insured, respectful, honest, reliable, organized and professional people to do any renovation project in your home, from bathrooms, kitchens, basements, or creating an open concept adding value to your home as we did with ours.

    Thank you
    Claudio and your CNG Contracting Team!!!

  • We had a leak in our basement in May of 2022 which caused quite a bit of damage, this was mainly used as a play area for my two sons ages 5 and 2. With a lot of back and forth for months with the preferred insurance company’s contractor which clearly showed a lack of urgency on their part to repair the damages and frankly silently refused the work.

    Giving the preferred insurance company’s every opportunity to fix the damages I was forced to find my own contractor in mid October of 2022 (yes, you read correctly 5 months later). With no where to turn I did a google search and came across Claudio’s company CNG Contracting. At first, I was hesitant and gave Claudio a high-level outline of my situation, which he was very honest and direct with me which put me at ease. Once he understood the situation, he came over to assess the damage and I have to say I was very impressed!

    He explained how the process works and how he operates. You will receive an estimate with a timeline and cost brake down. You’ll also receive pictures showing the progression of the project (start, middle and finish). You get a real time update as to how things are going from day to day which was VERY accurate! Claudio’s crew was very clean, polite, courteous and their craftsmanship speaks for itself as it at a very high level!

    I would highly recommend CNG Contracting as they do what they say and follow through. CNG Contracting is one of the good guys!

  • Claudio explained everything from the beginning and gave us a detailed estimate showing everything we discussed for our basement renovation.
    Always keeping us up to date on every phase of the project and following the deadlines he gave us on the initial meeting.
    The GNG team was very respectful, they have great communication. The team work very clean, they cleaned the work area every day, they were very prepared and created a very safe environment.
    They cleaned our basement at the end, Claudio made sure the final product was more than what we were expecting. We are very glad to work with CNG contracting.

    We will definitely recommend CNG contracting to family and friends and we are looking forward to call Claudio for our kitchen remodeling.

  • Long story short: great job 👍 So, my bathroom mirror/cabinet door has been sagging on one side more and more ever since I moved in years ago. One past repair job seemed to just be delaying the inevitable. Samuel showed up on time, showed me why those hinges weren’t working (you can see weird extra screws in the “before” pic), added a securing plate to compensate for the mount not being strong enough on its own, and even filled in an unrelated gap in the bathroom caulking I hadn’t noticed. Works perfectly now. Highly recommended!

  • I needed the PVC window sill ledge on my condo repaired. After trying multiple different contractors, nobody was willing to take on the job, but CNG was able to diagnose the issue and work required same day that I called and scheduled a technician (Samuel) who came promptly, took measurements, gave me multiple good options for repairs without being pushy or upselling and completed the work same day. Excellent service and great staff. Highly recommend for any home repair or renovation needs

  • Claudio and his team are great at what they do and I wouldn’t hesitate, for a second, to recommend them to anyone who is looking for a great general contractor in the GTA.

    My fiancé and I had the pleasure of having Claudio renovate our main floor and roof. While the reno process can be stressful, Claudio was there to help us every step of the way. It was clear early on that Claudio was thorough (spent 2+ hours with us building a detailed project plan, in person, before we signed a contract), communicative (shared updates with us almost daily and always responded to questions quickly), personable (friendly, easy to talk to and explained everything) and an overall fantastic contractor (quality final product and everything was on schedule).

    My fiancé and I had reached out to several contractors before deciding to work with Claudio. While other contractors took weeks to respond and estimated 3-6 months before they could even start, Claudio started the project one week after we signed! From signature to completion the project took only six weeks, an impressive feat considering the amount of work we had done.

    The new kitchen and living area are both functional and beautiful, Claudio truly turned our vision into a reality. We are extremely pleased with our new living space!

    If you are looking for an amazing general contractor in the Greater Toronto Area, look no further – Claudio and the team at CNG Contracting’s the one for the job.

Questions before you renovate

Still have a question? Call or WhatsApp us and we will answer it.

Call (647) 669-7346
How much does a kitchen renovation cost in Ontario?

Most kitchens we renovate start at $25,000 for labour and materials and take 4 to 6 weeks of work. The written quote gives the exact price after we see the space.

How much does a bathroom renovation cost?

A standard bathroom starts at $25,000 and takes 3 to 4 weeks. Walk-in showers, heated floors or moving the plumbing change the price, and we list each item in the quote.

How much does it cost to finish a basement?

Most basements we finish cost between $40 and $60 per square foot, with about 3 weeks of construction. A basement apartment adds the separate entrance and the fire separations, so we price it after a visit.

Do you handle the building permits?

Yes. When the job needs a permit, we prepare the drawings, apply for it with the city and book the inspections. The permit is included in the written quote.

Can we live in the house during the renovation?

Usually, yes. On larger renovations we can work in stages so you keep a kitchen or a bathroom working, and we protect the floors and close off the work area every day.

Is there a warranty on the work?

Yes. Basements carry a 5-year workmanship warranty and bathrooms up to 5 years. The written quote states the warranty for your project.

Which cities do you work in?

We work in 22 cities in Ontario, from London and Kitchener to Oshawa, Barrie and Niagara Falls. See every city we cover.
