10/10

John Morrisey did quality carpentry work in my basement in 2019 February. Hired him to install four interior 20 minute fire-rated wooden door slabs (without pre-hung frames). These slabs were available from Lowes (brand Metrie is Masonite) . John M. had to move some jambs and casings, as well as extending or shortening door height to accommodate varying entrance widths & heights. The heavy fire doors were hung via ball-bearing hinges which I provided to John (bought these myself from a Kijiji seller after researched the need for ball-bearing heavy-duty hinges with 4 screw-holes). Tip: Heavy doors shouldn't be installed with regular hinge, need ball-bearing type. I also bought self-closing closers for John to install (Dorex 1700 is hydraulic commercial grade available from website discountdoorhardware.ca $60 each). Glad that John was knowledgeable about a closer is much better than a pair of adjustable spring-hinges because hydraulic closers allow controls such as closing-speed & latch-speed. My web search of articles confirmed the same (closers better than spring-hinges and spring-hinges need re-adjusting once in a while) Expertly cut drywalls to fit ceiling areas with pipe obstructions. I needed these items done towards gaining City of Mississauga legal second unit status. His quote outlines what's not included (extra costs were items I bought from various places: hinges, closers, door handles etc.). Attentive to details, offered honest advice. Highly recommend.

Approximate cost of services:
$2,900.00
