Nick and his excellent workers did a couple of jobs for us. In the kitchen of our 95 year old house, the crew removed and replaced cabinets, tore down and replaced the ceiling, removed an ugly light fixture and put in pot lights, put in a tiled backsplash behind the stove, added crown molding, fixed a lot of little bits of trim, added undercounter lighting, and painted all. This job was around $12,000, and worth every penny. In the bedroom, they fixed all the cracked and crooked plaster on both walls and ceiling, manufactured baseboards and door trim to match the old old trim, installed crown molding (even around a curved corner), and painted everything. Beautiful. Nick's worker Doug is a genius at corners and angles on crown molding and woodwork. Everything is very professional. I would hire this company in an instant for any renovation or build work. Highly recommend.

Our basement toilet and shower slowed to the point where they would not drain at all. No amount of plunging, chemicals, or pouring water down the drain would make the pipes flow. Since this is a basement apartment, it was essential to get the pipes flowing. I called for emergency service, and Drainworks came within a few hours. They put their camera down the drain from the front lawn access pipe. Just by putting it through the drain they were able to clear the blockage enough so that the toilet and shower were usable that same day. That was a big relief to us. They showed us on the camera the tree roots that were clogging the drain (this is a 95-year-old house with clay pipe drains that are not in great condition). They offered the service that would cut through the roots with high pressure water, which they said would keep the drains clear for at least a couple of years. We opted for that service, and they came the next day. All of the workers were extremely courteous, helpful, and friendly. They took the time to show us everything that was happening inside the drains with their snake camera. We saw the roots inside before the treatment, and the clear drains afterwards. All of this left us feeling very pleased with the service that Drainworks provided. I highly recommend them.
