Laundry room renovations

John has worked in our home a number of times. He is always professional, precise in his work, very high standard of workmanship. We have referred him to others on many occasions.
We can count on John to always do a fabulous job. Our laundry room work included removing old flooring, lay new flooring, remove cupboards and reinstall cupboards, paint room. As always, excellent. We enjoy having john work in our home.

Painting and miscellany

John is a pretty handy guy! Quick response to my initial contact, set a start date that worked for both of us, provided a written quote, arrived on time and did a fantastic job. Detailed, neat, professional, courteous and just a nice guy. Rehung curtains and the awkward Chinese screen! And so efficient to have someone do such a good job painting and also replace the bathroom faucet and light fixture and caulk and regrout the tub! Thanks John, I think you may hear from me again.

Washroom painting

We hired John based off the reviews on Homestars. Straight off the bat when I contacted him he called me back right away. Once i submitted the information for the rooms requiring painting he provided a quote in a timely manner. He gave me a date he thought he could start the project and that date did not move. He confirmed the date the week prior and arrived right on time that day. He was very pleasant to deal with and did a wonderful job painting our washrooms which have a few tight and awkward areas. Both my husband and I are very pleased with the work and the washrooms look beautiful. I also selected some wallpaper which did not arrive in time for John to install yesterday so we've set a date for him to come back and also install that. I've also got him quoting some other work we are interested in doing.

Painting, Miscellaneous Household Projects

I found John’s details through HomeStars and have never looked back!

John has undertaken several household projects ranging from painting, general repairs and maintenance over the last year. His overall craftsmanship and attention to detail are exemplary. Above all else, his patience is profound and he genuinely cares. He’s happy to take the time to share his opinion and recommendations which is greatly appreciated.

We were delighted with the painting of the main living area of our condo, I had been afraid about “change”, however, with John’s encouragement I tried something new and the results were outstanding! Another recent project was the “revamp” of an entry hall table, the transformation was awesome and I’m now the proud owner of a one of a kind piece!

I can’t recommend John enough to anyone and am looking forward to seeing the results of the next project!

Exterior painting - garage door, front door

I called a painting co in the area for an estimate on painting my garage door and front door - they quoted me for a full day's work for two painters. Then I called John and he did the work for about 1/3 of what the "professional" painters had quoted, and he did a fantastic job of it. I will definitely call John in the future.

garage enhancement

Very accommodating, very dedicated to do a great l job, John is a very professional "handyman" to have in your contact list. John built a ramp to help an elderly person enter into the house from a garage. We gave John a vision and he built it! When we suggested a few more features, John was very accommodating to make some changes to the ramp that helped out the cause. Thanks John.

Painting fireplace

I have employed John before and his work is excellent. On this occasion though he slotted us into his very busy schedule for a much smaller job which we only decided upon when he was here the first time. We were very pleased to get this job done so promptly and also so proficiently thanks to his flexibility.
