We had the fortunate opportunity of working with Andrew through our Interior Designer, 5th Business Associates. Andrew is the construction contractor who completed the renovations on our home. Liz, of 5th Business Assoc., has very high standards with all her contractors, so I can see why she contracts Andrew for the construction part of the work (which included the carpentry, plastering and painting). Andrew is the type of contractor who can do everything well. He is extremely hard working and never takes shortcuts to get the work done faster. You can be well assured that when Andrew works on something, that it is done right the first time and completed to your satisfaction. He is meticulous with what he does and it certainly shows in the results. Even when we had him back recently to do some exterior painting for us, he wanted to be sure that all the proper steps were taken so that the paint job would last us many years. As always, we were thrilled with the outcome of the project and the quality of his workmanship! Andrew also does more than what is expected.....for example, we recently had some doors installed and on one of the doors the lock was not seated properly. Andrew took the time to fix the problem and hence, saved us the bother of calling the installer back to fix it. Not many contractors would even bother with a problem that is not their own. He is extremely professional, honest, and trustworthy. I have no problem leaving the house when he is there. I can't say enough about Andrew.....the quality of his workmanship is exceptional and we will certainly have him back again and again to work on all our future projects!

We are average home owners who purchased a house that needed remodeling. We worked with 3 other designers until we found someone who finally knew what they were talking about. Liz of 5th business knows her stuff! She is one of those rare designers that can walk into any room and know exactly what needs to be done. She has vision, a common sense approach, and is a genius when it comes to design. Her taste is impeccable and what is great about Liz is that she can work with any budget.....even the least expensive design option can look like a million dollars. We have tried other designers in the past, and unfortunately spent a lot of money on poor design and shoddy workmanship from their contractors. Liz is, hands down, the best designer that we have worked with. She is a consummate professional, always communicating the financial aspects of the project as well. Furthermore, she stands behind her contractors and makes sure that the job gets done to her high standards. What I think sets her apart from other designers is that she truly has her clients' best interest at heart,she is mindful of the budget and doesn't waste the clients' time. She gets right to the heart of things and gets it done quickly. Having worked with Liz on several design projects and upgrades with varying budgets, we would not work with anyone else! Our experience with Liz is that she is always consistent with what she delivers, and that is SUPERB results! We look forward to working with her again on future projects!

We hired Doug to supply and install 8 new vinyl windows, a custom door and a set of patio doors on our 1960's bungalow. We were just thrilled with the job that Doug and his crew performed. The windows are well made and of excellent quality. Doug and his crew did an exceptional job from start to finish, and the clean-up was so good that you could not tell that they were even there. Doug is very professional and takes pride in what he does. He is a seasoned installer who is meticulous and it shows in the work that he performs. His crew are also seasoned installers who are professional, trustworthy and respectful. Together they work very effectively, like a fine tuned engine. The installation went so well that it exceeded our expectations. We will definitely have Doug back to work on future projects. If I could give him more than a 10 star rating, I would...he certainly deserves it!

We had a 5800 sq. ft. roof that required re-shingling plus we wanted to add 2 skylights. We decided to go with Robert because he took the time to explain to us what he was going to do, why he was doing it that way (because it was the right way) and that he was not going to sell us something we didn't need, nor was he going to take any shortcuts. We could tell right away that Robert was going to treat our roof like it was his own and that was exactly what we were looking for in a contractor. The job was completed without any surprises, up-selling or changes to our quote. We were so impressed with the work Robert and his crew performed....they are professional, honest, respectful and hard working men. Robert knows his trade well and his high standards show in the work he and his crew perform. Probably the best way to describe him is like the "Mike Holmes" of roofing. He truly has his clients best interest at heart and that is something very rare these days. One important note, Robert is unlike other contractors who only give you what is in the contract...he goes over and above your expectations with what he delivers...he gives you more than 110%. So, if I could give him more than a 10 star rating, I would!

Stan is a seasoned hardwood floor installer that was referred to us when we needed a second opinion on a living room floor installation that was botched by another contractor. Since the only way to fix the floor was to completely refinish it....Stan gave us a price and we gave him the go ahead. Stan is an absolute pleasure to work with. With his 25 years of experience I felt for the first time that we were in good hands. His workmanship is quality driven. He is honest, reliable, professional and best of all, he knows floors like the back of his hand. He also did a superb job when it came to matching the stain color to our other hardwood floors adjacent to the room. And, he even fixed a repair at no charge that was in an entirely different room. Since then, Stan has been back to refinish other rooms for us. We will never use any other flooring contractor again. I highly recommend him for any of your hardwood flooring needs!

When we moved to our new home, we contracted John and his team to paint the interior of our house which included the ceiling, walls and trim of all major rooms. John and his team did an outstanding job! They were a friendly, reliable, hardworking and professional group. We were very impressed with the job and the service John provided us. We have used him several times since and John continues to provide excellent quality and service. Making customers happy is his number one goal....and he does just that! I would highly recommend his services to anyone looking for quality workmanship!
