Toan Klein & Dr. Susan Glickman in Toronto

Roland was professional from start to finish. He showed up when he said he would, did the job discussed and cleaned up afterwards. I would call him again in the future.

From the time we moved into our narrow inner-city house seven years ago, we began to contemplate converting our grungy basement laundry room into a combination laundry/bathroom. We wanted to maximize our tiny 110 sq. ft. to include: a washer, a dryer, a laundry folding table, more built-in storage space for bedding and towels, a utility closet, ironing board storage, clothes drying rack, space for the dehumidifier, display shelving for art glass, an up-scale shower, a toilet, towel racks and, yes, a large sink too. We had some ideas to begin with, but neither of us could crystallize them into something realistic. We knew we needed professional help, and found Jay. Within days of our first on-site meeting, he was able to produce scaled drawings, and thus gave us a great opportunity for a reality check. And he quickly helped us evolve a final plan, containing all of the above, that we then put out to tender. The formal bids came in over our budget, so following Jay's advice, we were able to become our own contractor, and save on costs. Jay's gentle insistence that we follow his suggested sequence of steps for the renovation saved us a lot of money and heartache. And he’s been very accessible throughout this process, which is still underway. We highly recommend Jay Charendoff and would use him again.
