Do not ever hire this company. The owner Tom McDonald is a 38 Red Seal Journeyman carpenter. He is a carpenter and that's basically it. I had several new concept designs that I wanted and he was not capable of delivering what I wanted. In the end we were very disappointed with the outcome of his responsibilities to the project. This was $100K project to give us a big kitchen with basement access and basement workshop for my husband. He subbed out everything except the framing, roof and siding. We wanted vinyl shake siding and he installed it completely wrong because he would not read the installation guide. There are specific reasons that one refers to the installation manual, to make sure you are installing it correctly. We did not know the extent of his mistakes until we had other companies see what he did. The first question they asked was "who did your siding"?? He botched it completely. He has keyways lined up all over which is not the look you want with shake siding. Also, the gaps between panels is too big and that is seen all over the installation. The outside window framing was also done wrong. We have areas that if we don't fix, we will eventually have water penetration. We are know are faced with an expensive job to strip it down and have it reapplied correctly. This person will not come back to go over deficiencies and have them fixed. He abandoned the project at about the drywall stage. We never saw him again. He does not warranty anything he does. He sued us because we held back money for his poor workmanship. In the end we had to pay him for extra time to apply the siding that he installed incorrectly. We have no recourse. Please do not hire this company. Run in the other direction. We felt that during his pitch to us when we first met, that he was caring and capable of doing the things we wanted done, but after about the 2nd week into the project everything went wrong. He will only do the minimal amount that he has to. He will not listen to complaints or any issues you have during the project. He did not fix any issues we had. It's like he doesn't know how to deal with issues or he didn't give a crap. There is no regulation here in Nova Scotia and contractor like him can get away with it. Also, he was on the roof without any safety harness. I asked him where his gear was and he said all he needed was his sneakers. It is law here in Nova Scotia that anything over 10 feet and they must have a safety harness. This was well over 10 feet on my project. Don't hire this person or company. I just want other people out there that are looking for a reputable person to do renovations to stay clear of this company. We felt we were ripped off and the project was not completed as per our wishes.
