Bob gutted our whole washroom and installed a new one. He also installed all our hardwood flooring and did a beautiful job. Bob is extremely knowledgeable and a quick thinker at problem solving. He was very willing to help out with anything that needed repairs. We were very glad to have his excellent skills! Highly recommend!
Excellent work. Makes sure everything is exactly how you want it and goes above and beyond doing an excellent job for you. Would recommend him for any home repair job.
Thanks john my way to do thinks is right the first time. Not only work good but attention to the looks as well. I am very pleased that you people are happy and hope to help you, your family and friends in the future.
Cheers
BOB
Bob helped us with a time sensitive emergency. It was a leaking chimney that had to be fixed immediately. Bob came on a Friday night about 6:00 and was there till dark. No one was sure how to fix this particular problem but Bob figured it out. If you want excellent high quality work done with good humour and top notch work ethics then Bob is the person you should call.
Thanks ever so much for these great reviews. It's been a pleasure to do business With you two thanks and hope to help you again.
Bob was terrific! His work is high quality, economical and completed it on the day he said he would! Bob even told us about a part of the structure that was thought to need repair didn't need it. Honesty, reliability and affordability together with quality workmanship is hard to find these days, but Bob has it all.
Bob installed over 1000 sq ft of lock flooring for me on short notice under a pressure time line. Excellent results. I’m so thrilled with the professional job he did. He is a perfectionist and you can count on nothing less than the best. He is his own critic and demands top quality from himself. I would recommend Bob’s work anytime as well as the fact you get to have his sense of humour and good nature gracing your home.
It started with the discovery of a "spongy" floor around a toilet. As I'm ok with doing most renovations (not having a lot of positive experience with contractors; doing it myself has become pretty standard), I started disconnecting the toilet, and taking up the floor. As the subfloor was crumbling in my hands, I realized that this was just a tad beyond my level of experience to deal with.
Enter Bob. He warned about the risk of replacing only half the floor without checking what was going on underneath the shower. Good thing he did! There had been other leaks, and and the wall studs behind the shower were in bad shape.
He talked about the need for structural integrity, and how he was going to do that, the sequence of tear-down and build-up, and what materials were required at each step. He was conscious of the limited budget (every budget is limited...) and worked with me to keep costs down.
His part of the work is now complete: plumbing fixed, shower installed, floor repaired and supported, drywalled, painted, wall built, door installed, and two extra jack posts installed in the crawlspace. I now have a couple of small things to do (stuff that I know I can do, and stuff that we had agreed I would finish off).
Bottom line: Friendly guy, knows his stuff, understands small business needs. Hire him.
As always it's good to have great cliants that apetiate what we do. Until next time.
Thanks for the great review.
Bob
I hired Bob to rebuild and upgrade my porch and garage. After going over my options, I left it up to him to go for it. I was surprised and pleased that the job would be done in two days!! His attention to detail and finishing gave the job a professional look. Payment was well deserved, and I will not hesitate in hiring Bob again.
Thanks Richard, it's been a pleasure doing this work.
Hope I can help you again Bob.
Flooring in Three Season room
Bob installed new flooring in our season room that looks great. Many compliments on the floor and way it looks.
New 52' Ceiling Fan and Outdoor LED Lights
Bob installed a new 52" remote control fan in our three season room and installed four new outdoor lights on the front of the house.
Again, another great job by Bob.
Deck Replacement and Addition
This was a big, big job. Bob had to tear down the old 20' x 40' deck and add on to it. Bob also had to add more supports to the framing, make new stairs, add in-deck lighting and new LED lights to the house. Bob did it on time and within budget. Everyone that has seen the deck has had very positive comments on it. The in deck lights are a nice feature.
Thanks again Bob !
Kitchen Update
Bob installed new under counter lights, new back splash,re-designed cupboards, etc. Another great job !
Hardwood Flooring
Bob installed new hardwood flooring throughout the upstairs (three bedrooms and a hallway). There was a lot of tedious work around the stair spindles which turned out perfect. Another job well done.
Patio doors (x2)
Bob installed two (2) patio doors. Installation required repairing framing. Good job Bob
Replaced Roof
Bob did a great job (repairing someone else's mistakes). Job was done as he quoted and even cleaned up after the job was completed.
Fireplace and mantle
The old wood burner was being removed for a new propane fireplace. Bob removed the old wood burning one and brought the new opening up to code. When the propane fireplace was being installed Embers said it was one of best jobs they had ever saw !
Bob also added two new scones beside the fireplace but the biggest job was building the mantle as per our ideas. Bob did it to a "T". Bob saved the marble that was around the wood burning fireplace and install a piece into the hardwood flooring. Bob did a fantastic job and everyone that comes into the living room always comments on the focal point "the fireplace". Another great job by Bob.
Wish I could give him 6?? for Quality of Work on this project.
