Wood & House Inc.

I've done two renos with Alan over the years and both have worked out well. In summer 2022 he renovated my basement apartment - new sub-floor & flooring, kitchen and paint. Good quality materials and workmanship. He did the kitchen install himself and subbed out the flooring. Quote and invoicing was detailed and well managed. He includes materials in the quote (except appliances) and you pick the finishings (cabinets, countertop, sinks, backsplash, flooring, etc...) based on the budget in the quote. There was no cost escalation unless I added features or chose to upgrade the material. These changes were clearly quoted and documented. As an added bonus he has a good eye for design and materials so his suggestions were valuable. It did go beyond schedule, but I also added scope.

The 2015 reno was a much bigger full gut of the main and second floor right down the the brick. Rebuilt everything new - walls, floors, ceilings, kitchen, two new bathrooms, windows, all plumbing and electrical/panel. He acted as the general contractor and he and his direct crew did the carpentry, and subbed out the electrical and some of the plumbing. Again, quoting and invoicing was organized and transparent. Only upcharges were for agreed scope changes and a few discovery items. Quality and workmanship was good. There were a couple issues (to be expected on a job this size) which he fixed under warranty in the first year. House was completely transformed and still looks great. Schedule did go over.
