Your review sure made me laugh! Reviews from my PIK's (People I Know) are like five legged unicorns - almost never happen, so I'm very grateful indeed.

Taking a large space and turning it into a place you'll be happy to spend lots of time in is a real pleasure.

Tearing down the old material to stud frame and repairing vapour barrier, drywalling and priming sure has transformed the garage! ENJOY!!!!

Replace and install 3 sets of blinds

Andrew did an outstanding job in installing 3 sets of blinds and also removing the old ones.

His level of work is fantastic, he cleaned up the small amount of mess made by the work and worked in an extremely efficient way. He is also a top, friendly bloke!

I would highly recommend Andrew for whatever he says he can do.

Thanks for your raving review and compliments! I'm glad the experience and care taken to get the materials purchased and installed went well. Taking the extra minutes to get the blinds lined up perfectly was very satisfying. Enjoy the benefits of your new blinds!

Window AC Installation - 2 units - 8000BTU and 14000BTU Monster

I engaged Andrew to install two new window ACs in my apartment. He did a tremendous job. Very detail oriented, on time and most importantly innovative as one of the ACs was quite large and fitting it into a slider window was challenging as the unit weighed in at almost 120 lbs.
More to the point he also did a very good clean up after the job was finished. I would highly recommend his services.
Thanx Andrew!

Amazing Experience!

Andrew was communicative, prompt, and extremely professional. I highly recommend him!
He kept me informed of all the steps he would be taking to remove my old over-range microwave and replace it with a new one. He was very efficient and was able to complete the entire project in under an hour.
A really great experience.

Wow Ernesto, it was a pleasure to pop over on short notice to help you with those simple matters to repair - it's so practical to wander through your unit looking for other little things easily and quickly serviced. Glad we knocked of everything you needed done!
