220 Grit Woodworking

I am am interior designer and project manager for a home hardware kitchen department in Windsor, ON.

I employed this company as a subcontractor to install multiple kitchens for me. The owner/installer is courteous, reliable and trustworthy. His attention to detail and integrity is outstanding.

I would have no issues recommending this company to renovate and install kitchens and bathrooms. I assure you they will do a great job.

This was our first time working with 220 Grit Woodworking and we were very pleased with the job done. The quality of work was very good. Wayne was courteous and completed the job in a timely manner. The quote was also quite a bit lower than two others that we received. A very good experience and I have no hesitation recommending Grit for painting jobs.

I hired this gentleman to complete a basement dig. I required more height as my home is old and had very little head room. I was charged for work permits and inspections that were not purchased or completed. I am fully aware that the owner is responsible to see the work permit and it is to be posted so just a warning to all you all of you out there to be sure you receive what you pay for. I learned form another contractor that permits were never purchased and the height of my basement did not meet building code.To date, I have no idea if my basement was completed properly and I know it was not up to code, other than the word of a man who said he would obtain the permits and didn't. Keep an eye on this guy.

I've now employed Divine Construction for two renovations over the past 3 years, the first a major addition to my house, and the most recent, an upstairs bathroom renovation. In both cases, the result was excellent, and the process was almost completely painless. Wayne and his team are extremely competent in design and execution and their work ethic is strong. It was a pleasure to have the crew in the house. I'm not sure how many people can say that they trust their contractor implicitly, but I feel this way about Divine Construction, and would not hesitate to hire them again to do my kitchen.

Having been quite content with our "old school" kitchen, and concerned about the financial outlay that a renovation of this type would involve, it took a while for my family to convince me that this was a good project to be undertaking. But through the planning and preparation stage, during the renovation itself, living alongside the team as they came and went in our home each day; every aspect of the process far exceeded our expectations, and we have come out of this with a beautifully updated kitchen, and yet kept the "country" feel that was so important to me. And Divine Construction kept within the budget that we had initially established. Not a day goes by that I don't stop to enjoy my new kitchen, and I would highly reccomend Divine Construction for any project that you may have in mind.

Wayne and his team have now done several projects for us including a master bedroom, master bath, family room, second floor balcony, home office, custom cabinetry and wonderful sliding doors to separate a basement media room from another area. We have always enjoyed working with them and will continue to do so for our next project. For us they bring besides excellence in their craft, qualities that are equally important to us; integrity and trustworthiness. Jonathan and Joanne Creaghan

This major bathroom renovation could not have gone better. Wayne was always willing to go the extra mile to accommodate us. The worksite was always kept super clean and the guys were a pleasure to have around. The finished product is SPECTACULAR!!! I guess the best recomandation is that I have hired him to do the kitchen and another bathroom.

What would I say about Wayne and his crew at Devine Construction:.

- you listened and asked questions

- you provided the information you were asked for, i.e. detailed quote, etc.

- changes were made with a new quote for the new work - so it wasn't buried in other things

- things were done right, promptly and respectfully

- you worked around my wife's nightsifts so she could sleep

- you kept me informed with delays i.e. Union Gas and updates on revisions

- the project was exactly as we had envisioned it; (i.e. how you and your crew work)

- the site was always clean & tidy, so even the kids could walk through it without us parents being concerned

- you allowed Jesse (our son) who wants to get into construction to help / learn with you and your crew

- your invoice was within $400 of the price you quoted on a job that was over $60,000

- you've worked painfully hard to correct the issues that came with your roofers of the time - this is the most impressive one!!

- the garage is a beautiful thing, unless people saw it getting built they don't even realise it's an addition to a 45 year old house.

You have many fans in our neighbourhood especially about how you worked, the quality of your build and the look of the finished product.

Wayne, thanks for making this a painless experience, with a perfect product at the end.

Not only does this company provide outstanding workmanship, they are also very accommodating in dealing with unusual ideas and changes, very helpful at the design stage, extremely careful and tidy, and thoroughly lovely people. The crew assigned to our project were downright charming and we were sorry to see them go when the project was completed! The inevitable problems that happen during major renovations were dealt with considerately and professionally, and resolved to everyone's satisfaction. I am immensely grateful that I found this company through this web site: the finished project is more beautiful than I could have imagined, and the experience of dealing with these people made the upheaval of construction about as pleasant as it could possibly have been.

Divine Construction did an excellent job of installing upstairs replacement windows as well as replacing the entire front entrance (door, side windows).

There were delays in the project, mostly as a result of the windows/door manufacturer not getting order details correct on the initial order.

The workers cleaned up well after their work, and the final result looked very professional.
