I have used James on 4 different suite projects at my properties in the Okanagan. I wouldn't use anybody else. James did great work on flooring installs, building walls, custom shower work, fireplace rock work, bathroom countertops, tiling, and faucets. He is very prompt on timing and pricing is fair. If you want a trustworthy talented contractor for any and all of your renovations you owe it to yourself to contact James.
Thanks again for your help James!
We are new to Penticton and needed someone to do some renovations to our newly purchased home while we were still living in the lowermainland. We found James online and have been very satisfied with his work and his honesty. So far he has painted the interior of our main floor, repaired the drywall damage resulting from the removal of the Poly-B pipes throughout our home, fixed the squeaks in our floors prior to our new floors being installed, re-did our ensuite including removing the very tiny shower and replacing it with a much larger one. Later this month he will be back to install two fire rated doors for us and tile our backsplash. He also did alot of other small things for us along the way. James is very professional and accommodating to the many changes that were made as the different jobs progressed. I would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone looking to have work done in the Penticton area.
James was a thorough conscientious contractor who did a great job for us as we renovated our new ( to us ) home .. fairly priced and we are extremely happy with his work, his work ethic and getting things done as he said and to our complete satisfaction .. I would not ever hesitate to recommend him ..
James was so easy to work with. He was prompt with his quote, worked hard the entire time he was on site and was ready to adapt when I made changes. He was happy to do the finishing to my satisfaction and was thorough with the work. The site was messy while the project was in full swing but he cleaned everything up when he was done.
James Stanley has done excellent job on my bathroom renovation and other work around the house (baseboards in the bedroom, finishing the attic entrance and installing a closet door). First of all, I liked that he personally delivered his quotes and they were reasonable. He was always on time, communicating great and he was very professional. After the renovation there was a little problem with water dripping from the bathroom faucet and he came immediately and addressed the issue to our complete satisfaction with no additional cost. We would not hesitate to recommend James to anyone looking for a hard-working contractor with so many skills.
James came right away and sent us a quote within a few days.
He installed a new screen door and moved the old one to the back of the house. James also put three new doors inside the house for us. I went to Rona and chose the new screen door and gave James all of the information. He picked up all of the doors painted the inside doors and hung them. He had to come back and make an adjustment for one of the inside doors, but came right away and and made the adjustment.
We were pleased that he stayed on budget. James is a very pleasant person, who shows up when he says he is going to and sticks with the job until it is finished.
We would definitely get James again.

James has been providing my company with Sub contractor services for almost 10 years. He is a friendly, courteous and honest individual who always does his best.
Any task that I have asked James to complete has always been completed to the satisfaction of the myself and more importantly the homeowner.
I would recommend James for projects which include but not limited to drywall repairs, painting, framing, fence and deck construction, and stucco.
James undertook a challenging renovation project for me replacing a front staircase. He gave me a written estimate which he stuck to and was good in communicating where things were at throughout the process. The project was challenging as there were a lot of angles to consider, there were two doors to accommodate (front and garage) also the original stairs risers were too steep, and there was no door stoop for the front door. He came up with a creative solution, adding another step, reducing the riser height and creating a wide front door stoop. He even built a model first before doing the installation. He also persisted until I was satisfied. Downsides - he didn't always show up when he said he would, and unless asked I don't know if he would have cleaned out the area first after taking out the old staircase.
James Contracting was recommended to us as someone who did small concrete work. We found James punctual and efficient. He prepared the area properly and calculated the amount of material so there was little or no waste. He leveled the front step to line up with the wooden staircase perfectly. He finishing of the step and sidewalk was excellent. James cleaned up after himself very well. We would highly recommend him for this type of work.
