We have had several jobs completed by CCR. Very professional, friendly and GREAT work. They would be our first choice for any new remodel job in the future!! Thanks Peder and Arne and crew for our awesome rooms!

We have started our whole home renovation project with CCR and couldn’t be happier. Right now we are in the current planning stages of what our dream home will look like. Peder and his team have been great with providing amazing floor plans that will fit our family perfectly. They work well with learning exactly what you want and how to convey it. Excited to start the actual Reno process in the future!

Great personalized service.

We had a major kitchen Reno done with CCR and it was amazing. We have a heritage home in London and they worked with us at every stage, helping us live through a house with no kitchen or main bathroom. The entire back of the house was demolished and re-built, and the only extras were things that we had added to the project. No surprises, the kitchen, bathroom and new mud room were delivered right on schedule. We’ve recommended them to friends and they have had the same experience.

From start to finish CCR made our kitchen reno easy. Would happily recommend them.

I purchased my 1950's bungalow in the fall of 2018 and undertook a large (for me) renovation project with CCR in the summer of 2019. A completely new kitchen, new main floor flooring, new windows, trim, tile work, revamped main bathroom, new exterior doors and some other miscellaneous pieces of work. As a woman on my own, this felt like a very daunting process, but CCR made it a smoother process than I expected and exceeded my expectations. Peder Madsen did a great job explaining everything to me in terms of scope of work, budget and timing. Their change order process was very clear and they let me know where I stood relative to expenses at all times. The gentlemen working on my project were extremely responsive and helpful and again were great at explaining everything to me as work proceeded. Thanks in particular to Larry, Jason and Ryan for keeping everything on track and responding to all my requests and questions...big or small. And of course, all the talented trades people who made it happen. Special thanks also to my designer Myra Tuer for keeping us all on track and for helping me make all the major decisions regarding design, finishes, products, etc. All this to say, I am very happy with the final result and would hire CCR in a heartbeat to come back and do any further renovation work I may wish to undertake. Arne and Peder, you should be very proud of the great work you and your teams do for your customers. Thanks again! Sharon Janssen

We have worked with Arne/Peder and CCR for going on 12 years, 4 jobs so far, and have never been more comfortable recommending anyone to friends and family. Going above and beyond wouldn't even begin to describe what they do. Professional, courteous, they treat you with respect and your home as if it was theirs. The backyard porch they built for us has been replicated by friends and family. Clear plans and schedules and names of those who will be doing the work. Can't say enough nice things about them. If you are looking for a contractor, you should consider giving CCR a call.

Dozens of contractors are available in the London area. However, if you want the best for your build or remodel, you must use CCR. Arne Madsen, the owner, is a terrific person with a keen eye for design and detail. He has attracted a skilled group of employees and hires reliable sub trades. Their work is first rate plus and has been recognized with dozens of awards. CCR will do your job start-to-finish, from getting the building permit to completing final touches to your satisfaction. We hired CCR to remove our old deck and build a new one. Because we have a walkout, the deck is 9 feet above the patio. The old deck was not covered. CCR extended the existing roof over the new deck. It is impossible to distinguish where the new roof connects to the existing roof, as it is a perfect piece of workmanship. The ceiling finish on the deck is stylish as is the finish of the underside of the deck and the underside of the stairs both of which are finished with the same material as the existing soffit and fascia. Our neighbor, who has expertise in construction, informally followed the work and inspected the finished deck. He commented on the high quality of construction and attractiveness of the new deck. We are extremely pleased with the work done by CCR and are enjoying our new deck!

CCR recently completed a significant renovation of our main living space and kitchen and we could not be happier. Arne really took the time to listen and understand our wants and needs and designed a living space that is beautiful and timeless. The CCR team masterfully executed the renovation and created an open concept design that has transformed our home from a dated 1970s bungalow to a beautiful modern living space that we love! From the first meeting with Arne, we knew that we wanted to hire CCR. His attention to detail, suggestions and vision were appreciated from beginning to end. He hires master craftsmen/women who are talented, respectful and were a real joy to welcome into our home. They arrived on time, on schedule and left our home clean and well kept each day. We cannot say enough wonderful comments about our site supervisor John McDermott; a gentle giant, whose talents amazed us and his attention to detail ensured we were beyond pleased with the finished product. Customers are very fortunate to have John on their project. The entire CCR team, Lonny, Donnie, Ross, Andrew, Jenn and especially Justin who keeps all the selections and decisions on track and on time, were exceptional. Our electrician Steve deserves our sincere appreciation for his attention to detail and his vision as well; lighting makes the space warm and bright and Steve did a fabulous job! Choosing a renovation company is daunting, but when you choose a company like CCR, you can relax and know that your project is in good hands. Arne treats his employees with the utmost respect and it shows in their dedication and commitment to each other and the finished product. We would highly recommend CCR for any project big or small, you will not be disappointed!

Gabe Pizzuti

CCR is a 5 Star family oriented company with excellent skilled trades. Gabe and Catherine Pizzuti experienced first hand during a fantastic home renovation. The quality of materials is top notch. The attention to detail is precise. The follow up in home service is always done professionally and clean up is extraordinary. From the initial blue prints to the final day of completion the quality of work is the way we wanted our home to look like. I have always referred CCR to families and friends and have NEVER been disappointed. Gabe and Cathy Pizzuti

Absolutely the best team. Arne, Peter and all the CCR team are first class. Very professional, great design, and excellent workmanship. I've referred them several times to neighbours and friends. Will use them for our ensuite bathroom.

Ana Cole

Absolutely love working with Peder and his team. I happened to work indirectly with Peder on a project (we were working on certain areas of the home while CCR was working on a couple others) and our client couldn't say enough wonderful things about CCR and the quality and professionalism of their work. After this, we couldn't wait to collaborate on a project. Highly recommended!

Highly recommend CCR. Great service. Excellent craftsmanship.

We chose CCR to finish our basement 17 years ago (excellent workmanship) & again a couple of years ago to completely dismantle & renovate our single floor house internally & externally... The end result was a brand new "home" to spend our retirement years in :) ...As always, professional, courteous & workmanship second to none... 2 thumbs up ???????? Graham & Lynda ...

Our first experience with a home renovation couldn’t have been better! The project involved renovating a condo unit to make it wheelchair accessible in a number of rooms. This included a new island in the kitchen, reconfiguring the ensuite shower and vanities, closets throughout and some changes within the laundry room. We also added a feature wall in the office, a new fireplace and did a complete repaint. Arne and team really took the time to listen and understand our needs as the requirements were very detailed and specific. Working within a condo presents many challenges and at the start of the project we weren’t sure how CCR would manage it all, but it quickly became apparent any concerns we had were unfounded as Arne and team handled all the details for us. They got the all the necessary approvals from the property management and used only the trades approved by the condominium corporation for electrical and plumbing changes. Additionally this project was further complicated by the initial lockdown and then all the new restrictions and challenges of the pandemic. This added some time to the schedule but we were kept informed throughout the project. BuilderTrend was a great tool to keep the lines of communications open since we were offsite for the entire project. The time Arne took during the design phase allowed us to use existing cabinetry to minimize waste and costs while still making the new island, counters, backsplashes and cabinetry integrate seamlessly. Repurposing old counters and appliances to a local charity was important to us and CCR made that possible. Everyone’s attention to detail and craftsmanship resulted in a beautifully finished renovation. The kitchen island looks fabulous and provides a wonderful open and accessible workspace. Joe at Cabico used great creativity and engineering to make this unusual structure sound. How they managed to get the massive granite pieces for the countertops up the condo elevators still amazes us. Every individual on the CCR team worked patiently with us, they also work with true commitment to the quality of the finished product. We would definitely hire CCR again for any future project and recommend them without hesitation.

We’ve used CCR on 3 separate occasions over 6 years. Each project had its own unique experiences with The CCR team coming through with an end product we were extremely pleased with. A great bunch of guys we would highly recommend for any home Reno.

Marjie Macoun

Thank you Peder, Arne and the rest of the CCR team for the outstanding renovations of our cottage. The experience was seamless from beginning to end! We can’t recommend CCR enough.

Julie Jennings

I wouldn't have it any other way! I've used CCR for three renovations in my home.They're trustworthy, professional and know their stuff. It just takes a load off knowing that everything will be just fine! I love them!

Rosemary Crawford

Completely gutted my only bathroom, but still made it possible for me to stay in the house- not an easy task. Finished product is gorgeous and of a very high quality. The CCR team had some great ideas for a small space and also did a few" odd jobs" around the place. Super work

Betsy Brakel

We have had the pleasure of doing business with Arne, Peder and team on several occasions in the past years and have nothing but words of praise for all of them for their professionalism and outstanding workmanship! They have done an addition to our kitchen eating area, remodeled our basement family room, bedroom and bathroom and installed a new front entry system. Never a problem with any of these renos and would highly recommend CCR for any projects, no matter how large or small! Thank you CCR! Ken & Betsy

Robin Frkovic

I have used CCR for major renovations on two houses and I have been very pleased with both projects and can't recommend them enough to people looking for renovators! Arne and his management crew are professional and stand behind their work! Renovations can be a stressful time for people and Arne always keeps a cool head and his staff follows his lead. CCR hires people that care about their work and enjoy their work! It is always a pleasure to work with CCR. PS. Arne is a stickler for details and won't accept work that isn't up to his high standards and that is an awesome quality to have in a renovation company! Also, they always have a picnic for their clients at the end of summer (except this year) as they value their relationships with their clients. What contractor does that? Great Idea and Great Company and Great People!

I highly recommend CCR Build and Remodel. My project was a house addition. I had already done a fair amount of research and had a good idea of the specifics of what I wanted. Peder was happy to work with my plans but also made valuable suggestions during the design process that improved certain aspects and also helped keep the budget reasonable. There were unanticipated issues in obtaining the building permit, both the city requiring several variances and also permissions from the Upper Thames River Conservation Authority (UTRCA) because the property is adjacent to an ESA. At times I felt a bit overwhelmed by this process, but Peder was reassuring and doggedly pursued both the city and UTRCA until all issues were satisfied and the building permit was issued. Once started work progressed well. For example when the original siding sub-contractor was unable to install the siding on schedule Peder located another siding installer to keep the project moving along. The crew from CCR was dedicated, friendly and helpful, they quickly addressed any questions or concerns I had during the construction process. I am happy with the overall project and the quality of CCR’s work. The best recommendation I can give is that if I were to have another project in the future I would again go with CCR.

I had CCR do quite a significant renovation in my newly purchased home, to make it into my home and make it exactly what I was looking for. From the first contact with Peder, I felt comfortable and reassured that my project would be in great hands. There were several bumps along the way, that were not related to CCR, but that CCR helped me navigate. They were professional, kind, humorous, and produced a high quality final product that I absolutely adore. They were compassionate and mindful of finances. They were open and honest about what could and could not be accomplished. They allowed me to make decisions but yet ensured that the building pieces were completed safely and by code. They have an incredible sense for detail, which was super important to me. I would recommend this company to everyone. These guys feel like family. A year plus after this major renovation I still connect with them if questions come up, or for recommendations around where to go for certain things, and I have always felt well received. I will for sure connect with CCR for any future renovations.

CCR worked in my home two years ago. They did some remodelling in the kitchen and redid cracked walls and ceiling and repainted in the halls. My husband had recently died and I had decided to change things up a bit. My experience with all the men working , whether they were the boss or sweeping up a mess, was all very positive. I liked all the workers- courteous, pleasant, helpful. They made suggestions that I would not have thought of. The workmanships was very high quality and they made things work for me, bringing samples to me rather than my having to go out looking for items needed. It was a pleasure to have the work done. I missed everyone when the project ended. Highly recommended .

Marc Gelinas

CCR renovated our entire main floor creating both a functional and beautiful space. We greatly appreciate the excellent workmanship and careful attention to detail provided by the entire CCR team. We highly recommend them!
