When I asked for an estimate Mr Winges took the time to listen to what I had in mind and then came back with a very detailed professional estimate. The finished product looked even better than I imagined. The work to refurbish the columns was custom work resulting in a like-new appearance (and for a lot less than replacing the columns). The total bill came in at less than the original estimate giving good value for my money. Overall I am very pleased with the results.
Tim undertook 4 major projects for us over the past few months - restoration of the exterior fascia and soffits, a living room renovation, a kitchen finishing job and the renovation of our main bathroom. He has proven to be a real craftsman who understands our desire to mix modern functionality with period authenticity. He has the skills and willingness to accommodate rolling floors and crooked corners and produces quality product.
We had Tim Winges replicate several historic balusters that had broken on our century home. Tim was quick to bring back perfect copies that fit on the first try. Highly recommend Tim and his fine craftsmanship.
Tim has passion and attention to detail combined with his knowledge and skills to fulfill the various work we needed completed. His demeanour was professional and confident in his abilities and goes above and beyond to complete his work in a consistent and timely manner. His vast knowledge of architecture and history of restoration details made for great conversation. Our future projects will ensure we see him again.
I was lucky enough to find Tim Winges on Trusted Pros. Tim has a wide array of carpentry skills and he found a creative solution to a tricky kitchen cabinet problem in an older home. He is professional, responsive and really knows what he is doing.
I would highly recommend Tim.
I had Tim come to repair a leak in my sunroom. I'd previously asked a specialist company and the estimate came in atrociously expensive. Tim assessed the situation and completed the job easily at a fraction of the cost.
Definitely happy with the service and I'd recommend him to anyone.
Tim did a fantastic job. He was very flexible with last minute change. We pushed me somewhat out of his zone of comfort by insisting on material that he had never worked with before. He took the time to figure things out and did a great job. We are really impress with the quality. He is also a most amicable and friendly individual. Contrary to other contractor he kept us well informed when he faced a delay in getting some of the material. Respect for the client seems a lost art these days.
Tim's work is meticulous and exacting. My house has nothing square in it (an 1850s log home), and he has to custom-fit every joint. Everything he has done looks wonderful and we are very pleased with his work and with the exactness of his estimates of both cost and time. The dormer construction required a lot of supporting framing to ensure that it sits without affecting the surrounding steel roof, and it looks great. He was also open to salvaging as much of the existing materials to be re-used as possible, and to saving what could not be re-used in this project for future projects. If there were questions he never hesitated to phone and get our opinion. He also explained when costs had to overrun the estimate, and the reasons were always for those beyond his control.
Estimates in the 'additional info' section are for the dormer only. The doors and wall were a separate project and occurred earlier in the year.
Tim Winges did a wonderful job of replacing fascia board, scraping old paint, caulking, priming and painting eaves and fascia boards. The work was done with integrity, keeping in mind the heritage of the house. He was great at communication and keeping me up to date of the progress of work.
I would recommend Tim to family and friends.
Thank you Jillian so much for this very nice review. I am glad you are satisfied with the work I did. I do always try and see the worst scenario and fix a problem before it gets too big. Very much appreciated.
Tim
Tim expedited the work in a highly professional and efficient manner. We did not have to wait long to get the work done and were more than pleased with the results. We wouldnt hesitate to recommend Tim for other work of this nature unreservedly.
