Roof top deck and Interior painting

John and his crew were fantastic. On time every day through an 8 day project. Cleaned up every day and ready to start the next day.

They went above and beyond on all of the work that they have done.

I have already given them multiple referrals that they also did a great job on.

I would be more than happy to accept any calls for a reference and send any before and after pictures of the quality of their work.

Best experience ever.

Thx John....Daryl

New kitchen cabinet doors

We wanted to replace some damaged kitchen cabinet doors. For Many other companies I contacted, this job was too small and not worth it. John replied rapidly, assessed the job and gave me a fair quote. The doors match perfectly the old doors, the job was done rapidly and John is a great guy to do business with. I highly recommend his services.

Refinishing Custom Double Doors

John and his team refinished my custom double doors this summer. They were the original doors (25 years old) and looked very weathered and old. They removed the doors, secured my front entrance and were able to refinish the doors to their original state. The doors look amazing and now my front entrance has been completely transformed! I highly recommend John for any refinishing/painting projects!

Thanks John!

Hi Regina
Thank you so much for your kind words. I'm just seeing this message now so I do apologize for late response

Double doubles, two big sidelites and one massive Arch transom. This was a very big job and it took place over a few weeks but as normal results were excellent thank you again. Hope to see you for the next painting or wood restoration project

Refinish kitchen cupboards and touch up trim

John and Alice were both exceptionally conscientious, polite and kept a close eye to detail. Any over site was quickly fixed with no questions asked.

When John was late he automatically called to notify me. It was nice to have someone who was considerate of your time.
I would highly recommend him for any job in your home.
Excellent work!

Exterior Painting

This summer, I had 2 sets of windows changed on the front side of my house. Given they were wood windows, they required painting. The company that sold me the windows recommended me John Brewer.

His price was fair and slightly inside the next best quotation. John and his colleague Sasha painted the exterior of my house (all 4 sides) in addition to the windows. The work took a fair amount of prep and care. Strong attention to detail. Also, very good job re-varnishing my front door.

Would do business with him again.

Refinishing solid wood

We are very fussy about the exact shade that we want for any design; it is especially difficult to transfer our ideas for stain, since the natural solid woods involved absorb the colours in unexpected ways. John Brewer was able to translate our ideas into the stain mix that we really wanted, on three separate projects - maple stairs in 2013, up to the oak table in March 2016 (pictures attached - brown table is before, light gray is after). In each case, the finished item was finished for many decades of use, and delivered back to us promptly. He and his team have always been professional and courteous with us, and we're very happy with the results. We'll definitely go to them again.

Many thanks for your kind words. Yes. Red oak is hard to stain white without showing the pink side

General painting and rebuilding a front porch

I would strongly, and have often, recommend John and his crew. His prices and very reasonable, and his crew work hard with minimal disruption, and come in on time and on budget. They even worked outside in the snow and sleet, setting up a tarp to work under to get the job done on time. John is professional and knowledgeable and a pleasure to work with. I would recommend him for carpentry and painting.

Interior painting, minor carpentry

For the most part john and his team are very nice people. He tries hard and returns texts and emails. Quality of work is average and you need to be on top of details. His crew is laid back and follows a "flies by the seat of their pants" approach to jobs. No invoices. Definitely a mixed experience with this team. Wouldn't recommend beyond a very straight forward paint job.

Well, that's a very interesting take on the events below. Of course wholly inaccurate and I have the texts to prove it. John simply stopped coming to the job after he got paid, and then once contacted he said he was through with the job. Very different than what he states below. The best thing he did was hook up with Sergei who together with his team exemplified professionalism and quality. The 5 star rating I gave was very very generous. What trade just stops the project without communication then texts, "I'm done with the project, mate". Not one I'd recommend. Considering the false nature of his response, I would tread very carefully here if you're considering them.

It's a shame you feel that way. The client took for ever to pick the colours. Changed her mind every 5 mins. Asked me to redo paint colours. Caused many delays with my other clients. When asked to perform minor extras they we delt with haste to satisfy. I worked on this house for 6 months. All of a suden im only a 5/10. I find that strange!!!
When I had finally had enough. I even
had the decenty to find a refered replacement Upon my exit.
It's funny what people don't know. Doesn't harm them.
Be sure to catch 'Hockey night in Canada ' and enjoy the TV set. Of which I was the lead painter.
