Joy Bruneski, Exclusive Interiors – Design Consultant
Surrey, BC As a seasoned Interior Designer of 25 years, I recently had the privilege of working alongside Jeff and Jose Melo of Melo Construction on a complete Yaletown Condo Renovation. The outdated space was taken right back to the steel studs and re-worked to suit the client’s needs. The orchestration of the project was done with the greatest of ease and organization. The outcome exceeded the client’s expectations. The MELO’S assembled a team of skilled craftsman who were both talented and pleasant to work with. I would not hesitate to recommend Melo Construction for any project, as in my opinion, they do exceptional work. |

Awni Ayoubi, P.Eng. & Denise Ayoubi – Homeowners
Vancouver, BC Jeff and Jose Melo of Melo Construction were referred to us by an associate and friend who had utilized their service. Our project was extensive, challenging and mandated re-design, demolition and transformation of two 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom condo units into one 3-bedroom 3-bathroom unit while adhering to complex strata guidelines and requirements. The Melo team exhibited competence in working with and executing per architect’s design and specifications. Demolition and removal of internal walls and existing fixtures were methodical and tidy. Floor layout and preparation, erection of new walls and fixtures design and deployment were executed precisely and accurately. We were extremely satisfied with their timely execution and working with us to achieve a high return and value on our expenditures. |

Dimas Craveiro – Architect AIBC
Vancouver, BC For many years, we have worked with Melo Construction on a variety of jobs with great success. It's difficult to find another contractor that pays as much attention to detail, organization and schedule. They are also excellent at formulating possible solutions and communicating them. As an architect, I find that many contractors prefer to shift problems with sub trades on to the consultant. With Melo Construction, they sort out problems first and communicate those problems - and solutions - when I arrive on site. Most of all, I appreciate their clean and organized sites. |

I.B. – Homeowner
Vancouver, BC Melo Construction has been doing work for us for almost 10 years. They have completed large projects taking several weeks and are just as willing to come in to do a short list of repair jobs. Jeff Melo or his father Jose supervise every job, the quality of the work is excellent; it is finished on time and the site left immaculate. We highly recommend Melo Construction and have referred them to friends and colleagues, all of whom have been very happy with the work performed. |

John Pike – Homeowner
Vancouver, BC Melo Construction undertook a “back to the studs” renovation / restoration of a 35 year old 3000 sq.ft. town home in West Point Grey. What I felt to be unusual was that I was 3000 miles away through almost the entire experience. Talk about trust! We were entirely pleased with the results. We treasure the ongoing relationship and we recommend Melo Construction to all that ask. |

Al Schultz – Homeowner Vancouver, BC Melo is EXCELLENT in every way. Melo has completed 2 major residential projects for me (a 1930’s home expansion of a main floor and addition of an upper floor; and a complete rebuild and upgrade of a 1970’s home costing over $1 million, including removal of asbestos, earthquake upgrade and significant wall, ceiling and floor alterations). They have also helped me with 2 smaller projects, one of which was a total kitchen renovation. In all of my jobs, costing was accurate (changes in plans change price), timing good (in 1 case they came in below estimated cost and in another completed earlier than expected), workmanship superb, and billing concise and clear. They work well with or without architects. Their sub trade selection, co-ordination and supervision are equally great. They show pride in workmanship, maintain a clean site, respond promptly to follow-up issues and are fun to work with. Totally honest, responsible and practical. |
