Harley Reed

We hired Harley Reed in July 2017 to do extensive exterior and interior renovations on a time and material cost basis on an older house we own in town. He and his partner worked on our project for three months and we are very pleased with the final results.

This work included:

- repairs to structural integrity of exterior walls

- repairs to existing faulty flashings

- installation of seven new windows

- installation of two new exterior doors

- removal of old siding from the entire house

- replacing an interior wall and doorway

- installation of window returns and trim on new windows

- installation of insulation and vapour barrier on ceilings and exterior walls

- installation and mudding of drywall on ceilings and walls

- removal of two layers of old flooring

- installation of new sub-floors

Harley was a great guy to have working for us, always reliable and dependable. His demeanor and attitude was always pleasant and accommodating, happy to take the time to explain options, advice and related cost estimates whenever we hit a glitch in our original game plan.

And the quality of his workmanship at all levels was "Top Drawer".

My wife and I very much appreciate Harley's pleasant attitude and the hard work he did for us. We received excellent value for our money.

Harley Reed was punctual, knowledgeable, and very professional. He completed the job in the time quoted and the work was flawless. Our house looks like a new home! I would recommend his work to anyone looking for any type of home repair.

We are so glad we hired Harley to do our bathroom renovation!! He was very reliable throughout the entire project which started at the studs, involved completely leveling off the floor and squaring off the walls and ceiling in our 150-year-old farm house, and finished with installing the toilet paper holder. He went out of his way and took the time to communicate with us every step of the way, letting us know all the options available to us, so we could make an informed decision that suited both our budget and our vision.

Harley never ever cut corners and we quickly realized that this guy really knows what he is doing and takes pride in his work. His workmanship was not just skillful but meticulous, right down to the caulking and the paint, so in the end we were blown away with the finished results.

Harley made our vision a reality and what we were particularly impressed with was his ability to make a tiny 4x9 foot bathroom actually seem roomy with the use of a sliding door and smaller vanity and even constructed a cubby, so we could incorporate some recessed shelving for storage. As a bonus, he put to work his artistic flare and turned an old piece of wood we had lying around the property into a custom transition piece which tied in the old original maple hardwood floors with the new bathroom beautifully. Check out the pictures!

As intrusive as a bathroom renovation can be on daily life, we found we actually enjoyed having Harley around and felt like he was completely trustworthy in our home. We would hire Harley again in a heartbeat to do any other jobs or renovations around our house. This mixture of skill and reliability is hard to find in a contractor, so we feel very blessed to have him!

Harley did a great job, clean job site and priced right.
