    Swift Action from BVM Helps Local Business Through a Crisis

    Helping The Butcher Shop Get Back to Business in Toronto’s East End

    At BVM Contracting, we’re deeply connected to the communities in which we live and work. As a proud member of the Scarborough Village neighborhood in Toronto’s east end, when Emergency crews were called to a plaza on Kingston Road near Markham Road on a February morning for reports of a vehicle crashing into a store window – we sprung into action to lend a helping hand.

    The incident occurred on February 28, 2024, when a vehicle collided with the storefront of The Butcher Shop, causing significant damage and disruption to their operations. BVM Contracting as a company and family have been going to The Butcher Shop for over 30 years. In 2020, we had the pleasure of helping Tony and Paul Cribben (Founder and Owner of The Butcher Shop, respectively) transform their space into a completely remodeled store.

    Upon learning of the accident, we knew we had to act fast to assist our neighbours in need. With our expertise in construction and renovation projects, we immediately assessed the damage and developed a plan to restore the building. We worked tirelessly over the following days, coordinating with local authorities and suppliers to ensure a speedy and high-quality restoration.

    “We understand how crucial it is for The Butcher Shop to get back on its feet,” said Vince Meagher, Founder, BVM Contracting. “We were determined to do everything we could to help them reopen their doors as soon as possible.” “We are incredibly grateful to BVM for their support,” said Paul Cribben, Owner, The Butcher Shop. “When we got past the shock of what had happened, our first call was to BVM. Thanks to their hard work and expertise, we were able to reopen much sooner than we thought possible and get back to what means most to us, serving our customers.”

    For us at BVM, it was a privilege to be able to assist a fellow local business in their time of need. “This event could have been a devastating setback for our friends at The Butcher Shop,” said Ryan Meagher, Business Development & Lead Estimator, BVM Contracting. “We’re proud that we were able to work quickly to find a solution, helping them to get back to the business as a pillar of our local community, right where they belong.”

    The Butcher Shop Renovation/Remodel (Feat. BVM Contracting)

    Delivering an Exceptional Face-Lift to a Amazing Local Butcher

    When we were approached by The Butcher Shop to help them with remodeling their store interior, we were both excited at the opportunity and couldn’t wait to show our quality and workmanship to a local business that has given so much to BVM Contracting and the surrounding community for decades upon decades.

    Since BVM Contracting specializes in substantial renovations, custom home additions/extensions, and new home construction projects this was uncharted territory, but we were able to use our superior project management skills to pull off an amazing new space for an exceptional local business.

    BVM Contracting worked with the management team at The Butcher Shop to start planning the type of work they were looking to do. They wanted to complete the following renovations:

    • Install new flooring for the customer area

    • Install new cabinets and counter space for The Butcher Shop employees

    • Install a new back-splash for the counter space to prevent messes

    • Painting the ceiling and walls to give the place a completely new look

    Check out the before and afters below to see the difference between each of these spaces

    There were many challenges that needed to be overcome during the renovation process, including:

    • The work was only able to be completed during the store’s closed hours, which only gave us Sunday evening and Monday to complete as much work as possible per week.

    • The floors for the tile were very uneven, and made for a lot of prep work to ensure that the new tile did not crack once installed

    • The cabinets were not ready when needed and temporary ones had to be installed in the meantime until the new ones were ready to be installed

    • The counter space back splash was meant to be a different product but it did not work for the application, so we were able to pivot really quickly and match the floor tile to the back splash tile to create a consistent look

    The Final Product

    All of the interior renovations are complete, but there is one more surprise that The Butcher Shop cannot wait to get installed! Stay tuned for updates and a final video with The Butcher Shop but in the meantime please see the final pictures below of the finished interior product.
