We recently hired Chet to renovate our upstairs which included two bathrooms and three bedrooms. Couldn’t be happier with the results! Chet is honest, hardworking ,and trust worthy. He is very passionate and encouraged our participation in all decisions. He stayed until the job was totally finished and didn’t overlook any details. We would highly recommend Chet!

I chose Chet Construction to build my new deck because of all of his 5 star reviews. Well, I am also adding my own 5 star review! It was a great experience! The deck is a work of art.It has a gorgeous roof covered screened in area and a functional very pretty open area. It is well built and absolutely beautiful. Chet is a joy to work with. He is honest, reliable and definitely knows what he is doing. I highly recommend him and will hire him again if I have any other projects in the future.

I recently renovated an older home requiring extensive renovations. Chet was recommended by a neighbor and he did not disappoint! He plans projects with great detail meaning there are no surprises at the end. His collaborative approach meant I could change my mind during the process and his experience was very helpful with the end design. I was so relieved to find a builder I felt I could trust, I added 3 extra jibs to the project!

Chet Boudreau is the best! We consider ourselves lucky having Chet worked on our restoration project. Our house recently had disastrous water damage, and we decided to find our own contractors for the repair and renovation jobs rather than using the ones designated by the insurance company. We interviewed about half a dozen builders before we finally found Chet. Different to all other contractors, Chet appreciates the value of our colonial style home, and worked extremely hard to restore the beauty of the previous style while adding new features and modern touches. Chet is experienced and honest. For our basement subfloor, Chet is the only contractor who gave us the option of glue-nailed construction while many others only offer using subfloor panels. Now we have a sturdy squeaky-free subfloor that can hold our heavy pool table and gym equipment without any problem. Chet is a good communicator and very patient. He gave us options and time for all the decisions need to be made such as flooring, trims, moldings etc. He works extremely hard every day and has a high standard for his work. With a few helpers, Chet finished the 5000 sqft project within two months. We are very happy with all his work!

I am now the proud owner of a magnificent shower, complete with bench seat, sloping floor/end drain, two rain showers, two pot-lights, and loads of grab bars. But really, it’s what you can’t see – underneath that lovely tiling – that is just as important. Chet is a master in all the modern techniques that are necessary in preparation of the shower unit before the tiling. The 5.0 scores that Chet achieves in all categories are entirely appropriate.

If you want a talented, creative, experienced craftsman, Chet will not disappoint. Except for the electrical and plumbing components of the project, which he subcontracts (but supervises), Chet does all the work himself, and with great pride. He is always cheerful, enthusiastic, and so straightforward. He will stick to his quotation to the penny, even if there are unforeseen difficulties, or if small changes or add-ons to the original plan are requested. His mission is to be sure you are completely satisfied with every aspect of his work. He is knowledgeable about all aspects of a bathroom renovation. If you are like me and find such a project daunting, do not be concerned – you are in good hands. As noted elsewhere, he is a gentleman, honest and responsible. You can leave your home comfortably in his care if you can’t always be present.

It was a great surprise when I was searching for a contractor that I came across the Trusted Pros site and discovered that Chet Boudreau was not only (these days) a specialist in bathroom renovations, but that he was a clear leader in the ratings and reviews. And so, it was without hesitation that I abandoned the recommended plan to obtain several quotations; Chet quickly understood my needs and produced a detailed written proposal, which was readily accepted. He understood the urgency of my situation and pulled out all the stops to not only build the new shower, but also to undertake a complete renovation of the bathroom, including installation of an under-floor heating system. I’ve now read, for a second time, all the glowing reviews on Chet’s work that others have written. And I can’t find a single point on which I could disagree. It’s all true!

John - Bathroom Renovation, Including New Shower Construction - Halifax - Mar 2020

I met Chet Boudreau about 20 years ago when I was searching for a contractor to build a large second-story addition to my home above the garage and family room. This was a uniquely challenging project in providing proper structural support along with an attractive architectural design for a full-size snooker table facility along with an adjoining bar and lounge. Chet offered a very compelling proposal, and there was no disappointment. To this day, visitors to my home are always in awe of this wonderful addition. It was early December 2019 when I made a decision regarding the en-suite bathroom to the master bedroom – it was essential to bite the bullet and tackle a much-needed renovation. I was scheduled for hip replacement in early January, and it was time to retire the jacuzzi. In its place, I was dreaming about a large, modern, custom-built, walk-in shower that would be appropriate for my low mobility in these “golden years”.

The process of hiring a contractor can be a daunting one. It's not often that one finds a contractor who is honest, professional, hardworking, a perfectionist, efficient, etc. (I could go on and on). Well look no more - Chet Boudreau is your man. Got a good feeling from Chet when he first visited my home. We discussed what I needed and wanted in regards to our bathroom renovation. He listened, agreed with what I said and made some useful suggestions. Chet worked with us every step of the way to ensure our happiness with our renovation. Quality of work was top notch. I have no hesitation in recommending Mr. Boudreau to do any renovation that is needed. Very happy with the outcome and pleased with the result.

Susan - Bathroom Remodel - Dartmouth - Dec 2019

The first task was to rebuild my back deck. Chet was fair in his assessments — always accurate, neither understating nor exaggerating the needs. He offered options and was extremely clear and honest throughout. I was so pleased with the work that we went on to numerous other projects — fixing a chimney, rebuilding rotting sills, and exterior painting. Unlike previous paint jobs, Chet caulked and filled — where others had just slapped on paint. I came to trust Chet’s judgment, quality, and work ethic 100%. He always gave me a price for a job up front, and always completed it within that budget. And he continuously did little extras along the way that he saw needed to be dealt with. He even trimmed back some tree branches that were dangerously close to the house. Chet is a pleasure to work with and totally reliable. I would have him back in an instant for projects large or small and gladly recommend him.

Chet is a great communicator, on time, on budget, and does the highest quality work. He also is helpful with other trades people on site and just straight up easy to work with. From detailed interior finish work to heavy duty construction, you won't go wrong with this guy.

Mike - Construction and Restoration - Halifax - Jun 2018

I hired Chet to convert an attached garage to a living space, for the purpose of renting the space. The renovation included framing and installing a bathroom (toilet and shower), installing a front door, two windows and a sliding patio door. Chet's work is EXCELLENT! He fully deserves the 5 stars for all categories in the ratings. Chet is a true professional and I highly recommend him for any building or renovation projects.

John - Conversion of Attached Garage to Living Space - Glen Haven - Jun 2018

I recently contracted Chet to build a deck. I found Chet’s “one man company” on line by typing in - good deck builder in Halifax. I was impressed with his excellent reviews so I requested a quote for my project. Chet answered and set up our first meeting and subsequent meetings promptly. Chet is a well organized, punctual businessman and a gentleman. He is a very experienced, reliable, meticulous builder. He is fair and a man of his word. He has a very impressive work ethic and involves his clients in all decision making related to the project, a great communicator. He is also very respectful of his clients property and keeps his worksite organized, clean and tidy. He was particularly mindful and careful not to disturb my plants and garden beds. I did not have any clean up to do after he completed the project I am very pleased with my beautifully finished deck and I would highly recommend Chet for any building or renovation needs.

Marian - I Had a Deck Built - Halifax - Oct 2019

Chet's professionalism, great work ethic, and level of craftsmanship made this a very easy renovation. The results are outstanding and far exceeded our expectations. We will definitely be booking with him again in the near future on another project.

Mark - Bathroom and Bedroom Renovation - Stillwater Lake - May 2019

We hired Chet on the recommendation of a friend, to create a new bathroom in a previous attic space. It was a challenging project, and working with Chet was truly a delight! He listened to our ideas with enthusiasm, and was always ready to improve on them by sharing his many years of experience as a builder. His work was precise, on time, and beautiful - and he's the neatest contractor I've ever worked with. 'Good enough' is not a phrase in Chet's vocabulary - he wants everything to be as good as it can possibly be. He happily added on other small projects, and we were thrilled with the results! Through all this hard work he remained cheerful, and made the experience enjoyable for us all. Chet is honest, a hard worker, and a very good builder - I would trust him with any project!

Andrea - New Bathroom - Halifax - Jul 2019

We have had Chet Construction various times at our home for renovations. He designed and built a deck which gave us a great outdoor living space. He also constructed a boat house and changed our garage into a living space. He is a excellent worker who has a passion for his craft. With his many years experience, he also is able to give valuable suggestions that improve the overall project. He is very reliable and dependable.

Michael Scott - Deck Rebuilt, House Painted, and Building Infrastructure Renewed

Excellent experience with Chet Boudreau starting with designing through planning and the building of our deck. He supervised excavation for footings including replacing the ones under our existing porch. Concrete was poured, cured and deck framed and built. Strong points are Chet shows up when he promises, calls if he is delayed and checks in when decisions need to be made. He goes the extra mile to ensure everything is done really well and that we are happy. He went on to do work for our daughter and her father-in-law. Obviously we highly recommend Chet.

Jane - Deck Build with Footers & Regal Glass Railing

We recently hired Chet Construction Ltd. for renovations to our home. The project involved renovations to many rooms in the house as well as the construction of a large shed. We were extremely pleased with the quality of the work as well as the tireless work ethic of Chet Boudreau. Chet is one of the rare "old school" contractors who does the work himself (he is the one you hire and he is the one who does the work). Chet is a meticulous worker. His standards for quality construction are very high. He is also a tidy worker and cleans up his worksite every time before leaving for the day. He very much enjoys his work and this is obvious in his attention to detail and long work hours. Chet will go the extra mile to make sure the project is the best he can make it and to ensure the customer is happy with the results. In short, I highly recommend Chet Construction Ltd. for Chet's dedication, commitment, and high standards for quality work and service.
