We hired Lowell to reno our master bathroom on the recommendation of our realtor. He made an immediate positive impression with his recommendations and considerations to improve on our design. From a work perspective, he is efficient, conscientious and meticulous. Case in point on the latter – I came up with a complex tile design for the shower. He laid out the tiles on the floor to recreate the design and optimize the look and alignment from all angles. The final product was a perfectly balanced tile job with no “goofy” small pieces of tile in obvious places or errors made on the fly. He took the time to get it right the first time. Part of the reason he did this, was that he got to know us. He understood our likes and dislikes (especially mine), paid attention to those details. Don’t get me wrong though, it’s not just about the finish – for example, he used water-proof membrane in the shower to ensure that we would never have to destroy the tile work because of something so basic as a leak.
Lowell also managed all the trades he brought in (e.g. plumbing and electrical). That meant that while my wife was worrying about her impending labour, she didn’t have to worry about who was coming when. In fact, Lowell was still working when we brought our baby home from the hospital. As tired and stressed as we were on the baby front, we never lost sleep over the reno. There were a few delays on the project due to the marble company we went with, but Lowell was mostly able to use his time effectively so that we lost the least amount of time possible. He is also not like contractors who bounce between jobs – he is with you day in and day out until the job gets done. How refreshing. We found him fairly priced, respectful and talented – which is why we brought him back to do our crown moulding and baseboards. I would definitely recommend him and will continue to use him.
