10/10

I met Brian while searching homestars for a carpenter. I was planning on building a basement apartment in my house and was going to hire all of the relevant trades to each do their part in building this apartment. Swift services advertised carpentry services so I sent off an email to get a framing quote. Before the day was through Brian had responded to my email and we spoke later that day to discuss my project. He showed up at our scheduled meeting on time and was very easy to work with and discuss options and possibilities. Brian was able to produce me two quotes one for just the framing of the unit and one for building the entire apartment. Both quotes included a time estimate, payment plan and exact itemization of what work would be done broken down into parts with headings and sub headings. At this point I found myself seriously considering hiring swift services to build my entire unit but was not convinced yet. I asked Brian to send me pictures of past similar projects which he did and went one step further and invited me down to his current job site which was a washroom he was building. I visited his job site and was able to see first hand the kind of work he was doing and how it was coming out. I could also see he had a proper work van and plenty of quality tools and I noticed the building materials he was using were top line quality. I ultimately hired Brian and his crew to build my basement apartment. He was totally professional throughout the project and making small modifications along the way was never a problem. He did exactly what he said he was going to do on time and on budget. Most importantly he and his crew showed up every day five days a week for six weeks until the job was done. I have to say the unit is incredible and there are absolutely no mistakes or shoddy cut corners of any kind. The walls are all perfectly straight. You can't see where each sheet of drywall meets the next. Tiles are perfectly straight and the paint colour he chose is perfect for my basement unit which dosen't get too much light but now looks bright and spacious. I would recommend Brian without a doubt to anyone who doesn't want to do things twice or who really likes his house like I do and only wants the best renos in there. I now call Brian for everything pretty much and since he values my business so much at this point he will even fit in my little repairs on weekends for me. Great guy all around. Hes working on my parents house as we speak. If you do end up hiring him. Tell him you read my review and expect the same treatment!
