The story is a long one, but I will try to condense. My experience is worth the read. In short, I initially hired Bill as he came recommended through a local Architect in the beach. He completed an interior waterproofing project for a mutual client (i'm a RE Broker) who purchased the home. The client was happy with his work. Through my business I happen to know several trades including a GC I had previously worked with. But on recommendation I called Bill Fairney. He arrived the day I called him in person, provided a detailed quote, assessed the property, and answered all our questions with accuracy and experience. I was so impressed with our initial meeting, we hired Bill immediately. To say his team worked hard is an understatement. Anthony and Matt were on time, worked diligently through all weather conditions, cleaned up after themselves, and were polite and respectful, (despite the continued lack of cooperation and interference from my neighbours). Bill continuously visited us and the project to inspect the work and ensure all was done up to his standard. In the end - my neighbours hired Bill as well ! The turning point in it all and what solidified my future working relationship with Bill, including no hesitation to refer him clients and friends, is Bill assisted with a very complicated encroachment issue and neighbourly dispute. A situation in which most contractors opted to run from. Bill's quote was most reasonable, he completed the job with efficiency and accuracy, provided photos, and helped bring a large amount of stress relief to our family of 5. This was the turning point. As the financial gain was minimal for Bill, but he extended his time and experience to help my family and children. It showed me his level of compassion and willingness to assist with the intrinsic motivation to simply want to help. There are so few that would have done what he did. We are grateful. We have no hesitation in recommending Bill Fairney both for his quality of work and as a standup person.
