Simcoe Home Repair

After using Peter last year for our front porch railing install, we engaged him this year to install 2 ventilation access panels on our home in Sandy Cove. As he was last year, Peter proved to be very professional in both his work knowledge and timeliness in getting the job completed at a very fair rate.
We would certainly recommend him to anyone that asks and will call him first should anything else arise.
His email is peter_hughes@rogers.com should you need to contact him.

I found Peter from a previous review on HomeStars. We had a railing installed on our front porch and he proved to be very knowledgable and fair in his work. The railings were installed to our complete satisfaction in a timely manner. In fact Peter stayed late on the final day to finish the job off. We would highly recommend him to anyone looking to have any home improvement work done.

Peter was recommended by a friend who was very pleased with his work. We contacted Peter regarding replacing all decking on our 18 year old deck. Arriving punctually and finding the structure sound, he suggested the cheaper alternative of replacing 2 boards and power washing. This drastically reduced the cost as well as refreshed it ready for many more years of enjoyment. While he was here we asked him about painting our steel gazebo roof. Peter said that the paint would eventually wear off and that replacing the rusty washers was all that was needed. Another major cost saving solution. Peter's bill was detailed and fair. He is efficient and his workmanship excellent. We are extremely pleased with the results. Peter is coming back to complete other repairs on our home.

Last Christmas morning with all the activities of the season in full swing, we had a basement flood.
We called emergency plumbers who determined that the issue was not an internal pipe leakage. They suggested calling the Town and their engineer determined that the problem was not external piping. The question of a foundation leak secondary to the recent "freeze-thaw" weather was bandied about. A suggestion that we "caulk" the area was put forward but we were left on our own.
As neophytes in the home repair business and with no shops open, we armed ourselves with bathroom caulking but realized we lacked the 'application gun'. My husband went to our neighbour Peter knowing his tool collection was extensive. With great enthusiasm, Peter Hughes himself arrived and undertook to diagnose and solve the problem (a foundation leak) with the right equipment (not caulking) and a very jolly attitude. He saved our Christmas! And the basement is dry!
We would and have recommended him as a competent, reliable professional whose work is top notch.
