We clicked with Jeff immediately. Personable & honest: he conveyed a mix of confidence and concern( in a good way)
We are relatively new to the renovation scene and had a very unpleasant experience with our first bathroom reno ( Opal Baths)
I was terrified about having any more work done- but having found Homestars- began my search in earnest.
Jeff was very collaborative( I wanted a specific tile for the shower and we went to more than one place to find it)It is good when a contractor doesn't feel 'beholden' to once source. Having said that- we looked to Jeff for products that were proven- and went with his suggestions for almost everything else.(Accessories stayed in my domain)
Anyway, renovation is about the quality of work, not just selling a product.Employee Chris P. came into our home , and I can say without hesitation: wow! what a workhorse. He was here to get his hands dirty: not chat on the phone - or be driven by long breaks and lunchhours.He is a tall man and ripping out the ugly, outdated originals of this room must have seemed claustrophobic at times.But his strength was matched with his innate common sense: I liked the fact he was a problem solver- rather than ," oh well, we've got a schedule, let's just get this done " kind of attitude.He was also unfailingly pleasant and had a wonderful sense of humour. The other Chris,Jeff's son- also came in on a supervisory capacity and was wonderful to work with as well.
The entire project took almost three weeks -and it shows! The room is just simply gorgeous.It is no surprise to me that Jeff scoops up accolades from his clients and peers. He is very protective of his reputation in an industry that sometimes has no sense of history. I also know that if a problem crops up down the road ( and in this case that is very unlikely) - Jeff will be honourable: he truly cares about the client long after the cheque has been cashed.
