Customer Reviews
“Professionalism”
I had to have extensive work done to my bathroom. I wanted something functional, but also modern. When looking for reviews I came across Caliber Construction. I was very impressed with their work portfolio. When meeting with John and Mason, they put me at ease straight away. They listened to my needs. Having mobility issues I needed to have something highly functional, and easy to use. They were amazing. I was so impressed by their professionalism, and their patience. I would absolutely recommend Caliber Construction. They are good, honest, trustworthy, guys who work hard to give you the end result that you envisaged.
