Installation of a Heated Mirror Panel

John installed a heated mirror panel in my home and did an excellent job! He was fast, efficient and friendly. He researched how to install it and knew what he was doing. I would recommend him to anybody!

Porch repairs and painting

Excellent experience from a first time customer. John was responsive, price was fair, quality of work was excellent, and completed on time. Would highly recommend, and use again if I had another project like this one.

Paint, Trim, and Half Wall

John was brought in to do a few projects and did them all extremely well. The paint and trim was done very efficiently. The half wall installed was done with great craftsmanship. John went above and beyond to make sure all projects were completed to satisfaction. Well done!

Painting a wall

This is the second time I have used his services. Have a wall that runs from main floor to basement. The color was copper and wanted it painted Dijon.

Job was done same day and no mess and no fuss. Wall looks amazing and would not hesitate to hire him for any other future projects.

He is professional, personable and good person.

Wallpaper removal

The job we hired John for was a wallpaper removal job. The paper had been installed over 20 years ago. We wanted to get the job done in one day or less, and I knew we couldn't manage it without tearing our hair out. We were very lucky to find John, who although he was busy at the time, was able to make time to get the job done. He was punctual, pleasant, considerate and professional. We'd be glad to have him do more work for us.

Stairs

Where to start.... After seeing 8 people with all different ideas and extremely different prices and visions of how to make my dream come true, I met John. The transformation of my staircase is so incredible. Exactly what I wanted. Job was done quickly and professionally. Thank you!

Painted bathroom and main hallways

We chose John Etheridge to do some painting for us based on recommendations from neighbours and acquaintances. We were delighted by his professional approach, fair pricing and the quality of his work. It was refreshing to have a pleasant, honest, hard-working gentleman working in our home. We will certainly call John in the future and highly recommend him to others.

Funky wallpaper - powder room

We'd hired John a few months ago to paint our powder room and main washroom and when it came time to add some wallpaper in our powder room we hired him again. This wallpaper was pretty tricky and I was not brave enough to attempt this myself and john did a phenomenal job! We could not be more pleased with the look. Everything lines up perfectly.

Refinishing stairs and various small cosmetic jobs

This is the second time we have called on John for a job. This time he removed cat-ripped carpet from the stairs and recovered them in laminate. He also did a number of smaller repairs, including filling a gap around a door frame that we had filled with spray foam 0 and not much else! The job took longer than anticipated - though to be fair, the quote was based on iphone pictures - but was done very nicely. John has a good eye for design and colour; the stairs look great, the door frame repairs look seamless and overall we are very satisfied with the work. We have another job lined up for him already!

Repairing damaged drywall and painting

We chose John Etheridge, Pretty Handy Guy, based on Homestars' recommendations and were extremely pleased with his services. John is personable, knowledgeable, honest, and responsible. He kept us informed at each stage of the project, willingly made changes as the project progressed and most importantly for us, devoted his entire time to our project rather than spreading his time between several ongoing projects. We have already scheduled him for two more projects.
