Nikolai and his assistant, Cristian, met and often exceeded every performance criterion I had. They were on time, reliable, polite while always focussed on the work, creative, neat, and high quality. The project was to renovate a roughly L-shaped wraparound upper floor balcony set into the roof of a house built in 1939. Olmani Development proposed and installed an adhesive-based vinyl floor covering over a rubberised membrane which also sealed behind balcony wall siding, and new metal cap with the original ornate iron railings. Drainage from the balcony was also upgraded, and paint applied to siding and cap. The work was completed in a week in late summer 2017, resolving longterm problems of leaks into the house which two other contractors, and extensive attempts by a home-handyman (myself) had failed to fix. After four typical wet-coast Vancouver winters since summer 2017. and some hefty storms at other times the balcony has stayed waterproof. It is also more aesthetically pleasing then ever. In an additional low-cost job Nikolai replaced and primed the wooden railing on the outdoor stairs from the kitchen to the garden, and made other small improvements at no charge. His confidence, reliability, pleasant practical personality, and adherence to a fair price quote all combined to make the project and my relationship with him a relaxing and gratifying experience.
