Ejl Design & Contracting

Joe and his assistant, Reuben, worked in my home this summer as part of a new kitchen installation and first floor renovation. Joe is a master electrician who knows the rules when it comes to electrical safety. I particularly liked this because I have heard so many horror stories about fly-by-night contractors doing shoddy and unsafe work, and I definitely did not want that!
Joe did all the electrical (aluminum to copper as well as running some new wiring) and structural work (wall removals, new header beam, new exhaust vent for stove), as well as plumbing, painting, backsplash, pot lights, closet door installation and many other jobs that were required as part of our reno. If I had known how good he was before we started the job, I would have hired him to install the new flooring too!
Joe’s work ethic is exceptional and his skill and quality of work reflects this. He is not only polite, fast, and a complete pleasure to deal with, he made several helpful suggestions regarding items that would be worth spending money on or not. He is on time, cleans up at the end of the work day, and can always be reached by phone when you need him. He was also very up front about the "unknowns" in my reno (ie. what you might find behind the walls and what it may cost or what workarounds may need to be done). Every day I made him a "list" and we went through it together, line by line, so there were no miscommunications. I had absolutely no hesitation in handing him my house key and letting him get on with the job.
Joe, you can come work in my house anytime! I will definitely be calling you again for more jobs! Thank you!! (see before and after photos)
