Replace interior doors

We had John come in to replace 14 of our interior doors. I don't think any of our frames were square anymore but John had no trouble doing the job. He was very patient and cleaned up before leaving each day. I would hire him again

Door Trim & Wainscoting

Our project was:
- upgrading of door trim (some 11 doors)
- fixing some incomplete trim work
- upgrade of main-floor wainscoting and extending it upstairs

We are delighted with John's work. His attention to detail, artistic eye and work ethic greatly impressed us.
He is very easy to work with and was very patient as we made decisions on materials.
Highly recommended.

Installing doors, painting, refinishing walls etc

John was great. He was very easy to work with and professional. He amazed me at how much he could finish in a day. I had a list of around 10 various jobs from painting trim and doors, refinishing walls and painting the kitchen, installing new closet doors, fixing my exterior door, painting and parging on the outside of the house. I am so happy with his painting and refinishing work. The house feels so much better. I would definitely contact John again in the future.

Basement renovation

John took an old "junk room" and converted to a great finished storage room in the basement - installing walls, flooring, lights, and even a neat little storage cupboard door, so the room looks so organized. Can easily be converted into a functioning office space as well. John completed this project on budget and on time. Great job.

Refinishing deck

John showed up when he said he would and did a very thorough job cleaning our decks front and back with a power washer, then sanding, and finally staining. He brought all the materials needed for the job and left the site clean every evening. He even left a partial can of stain for us to use for touch ups. We were very pleased and will definitely call on him again for handyman work.

dismantling and assembling a shed

Thank you John for the smooth and hassle free way you dismantled the shed that was rotting, and assembled a new shed. The old shed just seemed to disappear, rotten wood and all that went with it! The new shed looks terrific, and I feel reassured that with the raised platform you made, the shed will survive any Canadian winter.

Total main floor renovation

Well John did it again but this time it was a much bigger job! After painting my entire top floor I hired John to complete a total main floor renovation (entirely brand new kitchen (including demoing all the old stuff), convert hall closet to office space, paint for the whole floor: dining room, kitchen and living room, new light fixtures throughout and brand new flooring and base boards throughout). John did a wonderful job and he had to deal with lots of 'interesting' wall and floor angles and electrical/plumbing set ups that come with an old townhouse. John was very professional and courteous even when things got a tad frustrating with all the weird angles etc. I am looking forward to hiring him to repaint my hallways and stairs next... even if I have to wait for him...since he does get busy from time to time... he is worth the wait.
