C E Farmer in Willowdale

I called Russell to do a desperately needed exterior paint job but ended up hiring his team to do most of the inside of my house as well. The price was terrific, the guys are really nice, and the result is a fresh, stylish new look to my home. Russ is reliable, and you get what you expect on time and on budget. Call him!

The bathroom was a disaster... floor ceramic tiles not glued down, grout popping out, cold in winter, plaster damage on ceiling... just a mess. John Oborne's team (Colin Murray and Troy Ellis) tackled the problems. They drilled out the 3 inches of concrete under the tiles, and installed a beautiful cork floor. They determined that a faulty fan install was the cause of the water damage, replaced the fan, insulated it, and vented it properly thru the roof. The finishing touch was a beautiful trim, plaster, and paint job that exceeded all expectations. In addition, Colin determined that my toilet was not properly installed (hence the slight rocking problem) and corrected that issue as well. The guys were terrific and the bathroom is beautiful. If you want a team of friendly professionals, give Cathy Martin at Oborne Contracting a call. They are worth it!

Gabe Di Carlo and his team removed a 50 year double concrete sink (which leaked) and installed a new utility sink with vanity. Copper piping was altered to improve the laundry machine feeds. Gabe installed a special drain pipe so the washer empties directly thru the pipe to the sewer instead of thru the new laundry tub. It is SO much cleaner and effective and it looks terrific. I actually smile when I do laundry now!

Brad Duggan, his family and team were recommended to me and I have done the same many times over. This is a great bunch of guys who take the time to care for your property as they do the hard work of digging out your foundation and waterproofing the walls. They worked around some of my larger shrubs and replaced the saved plants as carefully as possible. As a homeowner who enjoys my gardens, it was great to work with a team who could appreciate that. Of course, the fact that my basement is now dry is key!

It's tough to find a contractor willing to take on a smaller job... especially a really ugly one like mine, where squirrels had taken over my detached garage. John Oborne stepped up: showed up when he said he would, coordinated the removal of the squirrels and damaged eaves, planned a 2 week gap in the work so I could chase the squirrels out of the garage to ensure they wouldn't chew thru the rebuild, and then, once the squirrels had moved elsewhere, managed the installation of the new eaves and siding, and of a beautiful new window. It was a pleasure, and a relief, working with John and his team. You can count on them.
