This is the second time I have called Dwayne to do some work for me. He always explains what is needed and the best way to approach the situation. He installed a faucet, repaired a screen window, installed a water line for me fridge, installed a new outdoor waterline for my hose, repaired my window that had troubles closing and fixed my shut off. His work is excellent and is always keen to explain what I need to do. Price is excellent! Most importantly a very trustworthy gentleman and I will definitely call him back in the future. Last time he installed my hardwood floors and did an amazing job.
Thanks Dwayne!
I hired Mr. McQuade to install laminate in one room in the house. Mr. McQuade showed up on time, as agreed; and helped with the job site prep. The job was done quickly and professionally. Some great tips for finishing with the trim were also provided.
Overall, very pleasant experience - I would not hesitate to hire him again, and I do highly recommend his service.
Dwayne came to my rescue after having a contractor cancel on me last minute. I found Dwayne to be knowledgeable, reliable and trustworthy. He replaced my kitchen backsplash with glass tiles. I was lucky enough to have Dwayne come back again to replace my kitchen floor. He continued to display his efficiency skills, knowledge of the work to be done and cleanliness.
Dwayne - thank you for all the great work you have done and hope to have you again. :)
Dwayne is highly experienced, skilled, and professional. We particularly appreciated his craftsmanship and his attention to detail and finishes, especially during the installation of tile on our former brick fireplace that now has an impressive contemporary look. We found Dwayne to be trustworthy, personable, and a very hard worker. We also found that he has a way of honoring the client's vision of a project while respectfully offering practical and sound advice to ensure that the outcome is structurally viable. We have hired Dwayne for three projects to date and we have already discussed other projects with him that we would want him to return to work on in the near future.
Throughout finishing my basement and working with many different contractors, Dwayne from Hedgehog Home Improvements was by far the best of all. He always gave me a time and date that he would be coming to perform the work and follow through very efficiently. He installed tile in three different areas at three different times throughout the project and each time fully surpassed all my expectations. He even took the extra time on a couple occasions to fix other little things he came across from other contractors deficiencies. He made recommendations throughout the projects to make them even better as well which other contractors would not as it could cost them more time. Dwayne is an absolute pleasure to work with and we look forward to bringing him back for any future projects. I highly recommend Dwayne and Hedgehog for your home improvement needs.
Dwayne did a great job at a fair price, he tiled my whole master bathroom. He was very accomadating, I was applying Kerdi waterproofing membrane which slowed him up a little. I knew he was frustrated but he tried his best not to show it, and he didnt charge me extra for slowing him down. I will likely have more tile jobs in the future and I would not hesitate hiring him again.
Renovating a bathroom can be quite miserable and messy, so hiring a good tiler you can trust makes a big difference.
Thanks,
Blake
Dwayne has installed hardwood flooring in all the rooms, closet, hallways that previously had carpet. It was a fairly big job that was done on time and of a very good quality. He is very experienced and moved quite fast with the project.
He accommodated us very well, since we had to move the furniture around from room to room and back while the hardwood floor was being installed and he also helped moving some of the furniture back and forth in order for the flooring to go ahead with minimum disruption. Other contractors really wanted to have an empty house to do the work but this was not possible in this case.
He also suggested to replace the quarter round base with door stop and it looks much nicer.
He also replaced the old tile around the fireplace with new one and this was a fairly big job since the old tile could only be removed along with the drywall. It looks really good now.
He also found a place to cut and stain all the extra trim around the stairs that would have been quite challenging and time consuming for a homeowner.
The communication with Dwayne was very good and he was always on time. He has a very pleasant personality and it was very easy to work with him and he did a very quality work like he was doing it for himself or for his family. He pays attention to detail and in the end it really shows how a quality job should look like.
We will absolutely call him again for any house remodeling project and will have no hesitation to recommend Dwayne to everybody.
I cannot say enough to how professional, precise and reliable Dwayne was. He took time and care in our basement as if it was his own. It was evident that he was extremely experienced and our flooring looks phenomenal. I will definitely be calling him back once we take the carpet out of our bedroom. Thank you Dwayne!
Let me put it this way - if you need a job done call Dwayne. He's extremely knowledgeable and friendly and respectful of things in your home. I contacted Dwayne about 3 weeks before the start date at which time he advised me he had some jobs lined up but should be able to fit me in for this past weekend. Over the three weeks, Dwayne kept in contact via email to let me know his status which was absolutely amazing. Dwayne showed up 45 minutes early (ouch 6:30am!) and got to work. I'm one of those "I can do it myself guys" and after he saw I removed 350sq ft of tile on my own but forgot to remove all the staples he got to work and took them out with no questions asked. The job went off without a hitch and if any problems arose or he had any suggestions Dwayne was quick to find me and fill me in. I highly recommend Hedgehog Home Improvements for any of your flooring needs, we've actually rehired him for a separate tiling job in our front hall.
I had Dwanye come in to replace 320 sqrt of bathroom and kitchen laminate that looked terrible with some nice ceramic tile. I am a student and was doing the Renovation on my parents place, and did not know anything about renovations. But Dwanye made everything so easy on me, and took the time to answer everyone of my questions.
His workman ship was second to none everything looked unbelievable and done by the dates that were set. I have had no problem since the floor went in 3 months ago.
The thing that I think set Dwanye apart though was the fact that he went totally above and beyond for me. It turned out that the bathroom upstairs needed a new floor because of rotting and he just set aside an extra day to do it for me, he also helped add the finishing touches on our flooring in the basement that was installed haphazardly by another contractor.
The thing that really showed his commitment to the job was the fact that I gave him a call 6 weeks after he had finished the job, to tell him that one of the doors that he had put back wasn't sitting properly. He was over the next day to fix it, he lives 40 minutes away. He really takes pride in his work.
I can't say enough nice things about Dwayne. Hes a hard worker that is polite and really knows what he is doing when it comes to flooring. I would highly recommend him to anyone that Is looking for a contractor. If you would like a phone reference for Dwayne.
