Jim, Nick and the team did an excellent job with our substantial reno (more of a new build). Their craftsmanship, attention to detail and responsiveness was much appreciated. We are very happy with the end result! We really liked Jim's down to earth approach and always felt we could communicate with him. They were ethical and if something wasn't right, they would fix it. I would definitely recommend them.
