Levelling of walkway stones

Bill did an excellent job and levelling my front patio stones. Since it is not.my first time dealing with Bill, I had no doubt it would be done well, but the difference was incredible. Definitely worth every penny!

drywall, deck, installation of door

Bill and Andrew originally installed drywall in our basement and bedroom. We were very impressed with how neat this team is, now efficiently they work, and how professional the results. We have now hired them to do more carpentry work in our house. They certainly aim to please. Well done!

Custom Hide-a-Bed, Cabinets, Desk

We asked Bill O'Brien to custom build our office/guest room, including desk, shelf, wall cabinets, wall and window trim and folding wall-bed. The wall-bed hardware and instructions were purchased from Lee Valley Tools. Bill O'Brien was always friendly, contentious and hard working. Unfortunately, there were some significant delays in the project timelines but the work is excellent and the finished office/guest room is beautiful.

I'm really happy that you are pleased, I hope it makes life easier with visitors and guests. There were some issues with scheduling and time and I take full responsibility. It doesn't happen often but it did with respect to this project. Thanks for the kind words and my apologies for the delay.

I have had this company in on more than one occasion- both big jobs and small ones. They have always completed the jobs well and gone beyond what was asked and required. Great team to work with - professional, courteous, fair and honest.

Flooring

Bill and his crew came to do the flooring in my house in November. They were always on time and professional. They installed flooring, baseboard, casing and stool on the main floor in my house. I was impressed with the finished product and would use them again.
