In Focus Contracting

We hired In Focus Contracting (owner, Jay) to complete our bathroom renovation, after speaking with and getting quotes from several other contractors, thanks to a few key factors that set Jay apart from the rest:

• The quality of Jay’s work speaks for itself. He has a keen eye for details that make a big impact and that clearly showed in the portfolio of his work.

• Jay presented a quote that itemized and broke down costs so we knew exactly what we were paying for and how much we were paying for it which gave us peace of mind. Jay’s quote was also significantly lower than the other quotes we received which certainly didn’t speak to a lack of quality but to Jay’s efficiency and reasonable approach.

• Other contractors quoted 3 to 5 weeks to complete our bathroom, Jay quoted 1.5 weeks. He’s a one man operation so there’s no waiting for sub-contractors that may or may not show up and he’s not jumping from job to job, fitting your project in when he has time. He’s there every day, even on weekends, dedicated to finishing your project.

In the end, we’re incredibly happy with the finished product which was completed on-time and on-budget. Our new bathroom is beautiful with added touches we didn’t even know to ask for. We have other renovation projects we plan on completing in our home and quite honestly we won’t even consider looking elsewhere. Finding Jay was like winning the contractor lottery; someone you can trust in your home to do good work at a fair price which is hard to find these days.

Jamid provided us with excellent customer service. My husband and I were very impressed with his superior workmanship and work ethics. He was highly recommended by a friend of ours and he did not disappoint us. In the future, we would not hesitate to refer him to our family and friends.

From the start Jamid stood out from the rest. Looking for a good contractor is no easy task as you all know especially when half of them don't show up for their appointments or after looking over the project decide it is too small potatoes for them and don't even bother to offer a quote. Jamid showed right from the start that he is a man of his word. On our first meeting, he showed up on time and was very personable and I could tell very knowledgeable about his work. We received his quote in a timely manner and it was very detailed and left no guess work. As we started to plan the reno, Jamid was very professional yet very friendly offering good suggestions on products and finishes and was very honest with us at all times. The actual renovation took place while we were away on holiday. That in itself speaks volumes. We never had any qualms or worries at all leaving Jamid alone in our house to complete the reno in our absence. He kept in touch with us and kept us up to date with information and photos at the various stages of the renovation. Seeing photos was one thing but we were blown away when we came home and saw the bathroom in person. It was amazing! Jamid did a wonderful job and his pride in his work shows through. I wouldn't hesitate in recommending him to anyone and we look forward to working with Jamid again in the future on our next home renovation.

Our experience with Jay has to be the best so far. He took time to consult with us, was very courteous, and went out of his way to make the Reno process easy to live through. He showed up everyday at 630AM (Not kidding!) and even took time to clean up after himself at the end of each day. We are very impressed and happy with Jay, his work ethic and our brand new bathrooms. I wouldn’t hesitate to refer him to our friends and family. You’d be hard pressed to find quality like this today.

I am a semi-retired health professional hospital administrator aka a perfectionist with a touch of OCD. Hence, I rarely give full marks. But from one perfectionist to another, Jay is very close. Obviously, Jay was referred to us from someone close, my sister, and I do not really hire people I do not know.

There are a few things I really appreciated from Jay in this project:

1) He treated my home like his home which meant that he always cleaned up at the end of each day...no big mess...was concerned about how noises would disturb our neighbors...just like me.

2) He adhered religiously to the timeline, meaning he sometimes would be working 15 hrs a day. We completed our project well within the agreed date.

3) His perfectionism was truly a bonus. For example he spray paint my windows' security bar to match the décor; something not in the contract.

4) We were on budget except for the few extra we requested.

Overall, the project was probably the most comfortable (if you can call any renovation that) simple and stress free that I have been involved in. I would recommend him to anyone.

I have been wanting to renovate my kitchen for years but couldn’t move forward until I found the right contractor, Jamid, aka 'Jay' McFie from In Focus Contracting has been rated by his clients as a 5/5 on TrustedPros and I would concur, his craftsmanship and eye for detail truly justifies that ranking.

As a confessed HGTV watcher I certainly had my ideas as to what I would like to see in the design of my new kitchen. During the design phase of the project Jay was very direct and honest in telling me what would be realistic and make sense and indeed add to the value of my house and what wouldn't. Prior to the start of the project Jay provided me with a 3D design drawing, budget, item (wall colour, tile, counter top, cabinet, etc) options, and the project start and end date. During the reno phase I really appreciated how neat and tidy Jay kept the site, his tools and items were well organized and the garbage was well contained. While I knew what my new kitchen would look like on paper I was truly blown away by the end product. My project was completed on time and on budget.

I appreciate why Jay has repeat customers, he just doesn't install cabinets or put down tile etc he really finishes off the room. If you are looking for a contractor I do not hesitate in recommending Jay to you, he is well worth the wait.

We love our bathrooms! To be honest I was extremely nervous about doing a bathroom renovation at the beginning of December -- what if something went wrong?

But it didn't! Jamid was fantastic - he did it all: carpentry, drywall, tiling, plumbing, electrical, painting and installation of new vanities and all the accessories. He has set a very high standard for himself and that was evident throughout the entire renovation process.

Our friends and family love the transformation of the two rooms when they see it. Dave and I would recommend Jamid to anyone - if you are looking for a professional who takes extreme pride in the product he delivers.

We look forward to working with Jamid on our next renovation -- the kitchen!!!

Thank you Jamid.

My husband and I are thrilled with Jamid's recent renovation. He is a one-man show who operates under the principle: if you want something done right, do it yourself. Jamie did it all: carpentry, drywalling, tiling, plumbing, electrical, and painting. The high standards he sets for himself and his attention to detail are obvious both during construction and in the finished product. Jamid gives good advice and was very helpful during the planning and selecting of materials. He knew exactly the best way to create a combination laundry/bathroom by enclosing the washer/dryer/utility sink in a large closet. We are considering another renovation in the near future and we will look no further than Jamid to do a second job for us.

We are more than pleased with the renovation work done to our kitchen (complete overhaul from floor to ceiling) and entrance hallway (where Jamid did much more than what we were expecting). Jamid pays attention to detail in everything he does. We get a lot of "wow" comments from friends and family when they first see the renovations. We are happy to refer Jamid to our friends who are considering renovating. Jamid is a true professional who is prompt, courteous and eager to please his customer. His quote was also well under the competitors we also contacted. We will definitely use In Focus for our future reno projects!

Well, I can't say enough how happy I am with In Focus Contracting. Jamid is the most hardworking reno guy I have seen in a long time. Completed the job in a 1 1/2 weeks. Excellent work, excellent quote on the job, compared to 3 other contractors in Langley. In Focus Contracting will be back to do my other bathroom in October, for sure. I would and have been recommending this company to everyone.

Thanks so much for awesome bathroom Reno.

Jamid Mcfie helped us out with our renovation project. Hands down he is the most trustworthy, hardworking and reliable contractor that we have worked with. Jamid brought all of our Reno dreams to life by his great workmanship and attention to detail. He went over and above to deliver a beautiful kitchen and stylish bathroom for us.

Thank you Jamid. You are the best.

If you are looking for an amazing contractor who you can truly depend on and can easily work with, look no further as you have found the best one if you use Jay!

Right from the very first meeting with him regarding discussions about our project and throughout the entire project, Jay was very professional, had our best interest and budget top of mind, and had amazing ideas! I would recommend him to anyone who is wanting an amazing job done, he is someone you can 100% trust in getting the job done right, on time and on budget - unheard of truly!!

I recently had my kitchen renovated by Jamid. We had a wall taken down and was very impressed with his work. He was ahead of schedule and on budget which was very important to us. His attention to detail and cleanliness far exceeded my expectations. I valued his advice and knowledge and his suggestions and communication made the whole process much easier. He even fixed the doors in my house which was not even in his contract. I would definitely recommend him.

Renovation of my bathroom was a huge success because of the professional work done by Jamid McFie of In Focus Contracting. From the initial contact until the completion, Jamid's input on design, materials etc was very helpful. He provided a detailed quotation with time line, cost, as well as other helpful information. His work throughout the renovation was of the highest standard, the work was done with no disruption, he was always on time and the workplace was always kept clean. I would without hesitation recommend Jamid McFie for a seamless renovation with very satisfactory results.

The owner of the company took my call and came immediately. He fixed the broken cupboard and gave me an estimate for doing, cabinets, counter and tile. Prices were excellent and the pictures of his work speaks for itself.

Five star

Jamid stuck to our budget which was important to us. He finished the job 1 week earlier than anticipated. We are very happy with our bathroom and kitchen renovation. He totally gutted both rooms, installed flooring, cabinets, quartz counter tops, walk-in shower with all related plumbing.

Jamid with In Focus did an incredible job on our master bath ensuite. He had to knock down walls and put up new ones and be creative with the space we had. In the end he built us the bathroom we wanted. He kept to a strict timeline, kept on budget and always cleaned up at the end of the day. We will be asking Jamid to complete our next renovation for sure!

The work carried out was done and completed, satisfying my requirement for complying with my instructions for scope of work that was requested. In Focus services were professional, skilled and experienced. The work was sequenced in a timely manner and work site was left clean, protection provided as required to carry out the work and the site as clean at the end of each workday. The services provided were diligent from the initial review of the scope of work for the project, In Focus provided detailed cost quote for both material and labour and the final cost was cost very close to the initial quote.

In Focus was clear on my responsibilities regarding the purchase of some items, providing information regarding what was required to carry out the work and the payment schedule.

Exactly what you want in a contractor! Trustworthy, very skilled, hardworking, perfectionist, respectful, punctual, and a really amicable fella to boot!!

Jamid did an awesome job on our master bathroom recently. He was reliable, honest & finished the job on time and on budget with great results. Very pleased with the everything and will be using Jamid again for sure!

I hired Jay to do a total renovation, on my 3 level townhouse. He is very innovative, and came up with several idea's, to update my space, and give it some "wow"factor. He arrived early, and stayed late, the budget and time line was tight, and to my amazement he accomplished both.

Jay was very professional, and easy to work with. I would highly recommend Jay for any small or big jobs, he is trustworthy, and has a strong work ethic.

We had Jay renovate 3 of our bathrooms. One of them was straight forward. Two required more extensive work - removing a wall, installing a new wall and moving plumbing and lighting fixtures.

Jay is a perfectionist and his work is of a very high standard.

He works on one job at a time and works long hours. We knew that our job was his priority.

I have recommended Jay to others and they have been equally pleased with his work.

We recommend him without reservation.

Jamid did a great job, very happy. He did a complete bathroom renovation and did it on time. Would definitely hire for future jobs.

Completed bathroom remodel which involved extensive tiling on time and on budget. Very happy with the tile work on the floor and the shower surround.

I hired Mr Mcfie for a basement demo and rough in framing. He was on time and under budget. Very professional and provided a detailed documentation on what services were provided as well as materials used. Extremely fast, hard working and knowledgeable in all areas of the construction trade.

Jay is fast, high quality work, works like a Trojan, sticks to budgets. Everything he did was excellent. Amazed how fast he worked (complete kitchen inside 2 weeks all in). Could not be more pleased to recommend him.

Would add pics but Trusted Pro system not allowing this.

Being a painting contractor myself for over thirty years I know quality workmanship when I see it. We hired Jay Mcfie after seeing some photos of a house he renovated and we were not disappointed. Outstanding workmanship, from top to bottom.

I liked Jamid's work ethic, hard working, honest, reliable and most of what he quoted was the price!

Very pleased with service provided. On time and on budget. Jamid went the extra mile to help make the finished job more than we had hoped for. One thing I particularly liked were the daily updates. We new exactly what was going on and at what time work would continue on the next day. I would highly recommend.

Jay gutted and redid my kitchen and did a great job so I called him back to gut my disgusting bathroom. He was there when he said he would be and very trustworthy and I was all round happy about all his work.

Jamid was punctual, reliable, honest, hard-working and cost-effective. He did the job thoroughly and gave us some suggestions as to how we could save money on the repairs. He called in advance of his arrival so we knew exactly when he was coming. When we needed a job done urgently, he went out of his way to accommodate us. He is a very pleasant and personable man and I would not hesitate to recommend him for construction/renovation projects.
