Millie in Toronto, Ontario

Malcolm (Skip) was one of several contractors whom we reached out to with our kitchen drawings to obtain his quote. Not only was his price the most competitive, but we were wholly impressed with his knowledge and commitment to delivering quality. The scope of our renovation executed by Skip included a kitchen and 2 bathrooms in our old Victorian home in downtown Toronto. He brought with him some really top-notch and honest tradespeople to bring our vision to reality. We're very happy with our kitchen and found that Skip was really wonderful in working with us to adjust and tailor just as we needed it. We welcomed his years of experience and measured practicality; on several occasions my partner and I considered enhancements or other scope items and Skip was able to vet the options and be very practical about whether or not it was worth it. On one occasion, Skip suggested that we purchase a big-box retailer's vanity, and that it be customized with the legs that we desired, based on the needs of our small bathroom. Aside from his years of renovation and carpentry experience that is valuable to anyone pursuing a renovation - including my partner and I who had managed large renovations before - we were thoroughly impressed with the quality of his work. We had visited his shop, along with manufacturing facilities of other companies, and we found his work to be far superior and for a better price. His cabinet drawers have stunning dovetailed drawers, for example - his craftsmanship second to none. In the end, our project was on budget and on time. I would absolutely recommend him to my friends, and encourage you to as well. Credit: Vincent Lions for Photos; Linnea Lions for Kitchen Design
