An assisted review is collected by a contractor on behalf of the homeowner after their work is completed. The homeowner must confirm the text of the review and may make any changes she or he deems appropriate. The homeowner then assigns the contractor a review score out of 10. Assisted reviews receive the same scrutiny as other reviews and must follow our review guidelines.
Matt from JohnsonPlayfair approached us a few years ago to do some badly needed brickwork on our 1886 Victorian home in Parkdale.
We knew that considerable work had to be done and engaged Matt repair the façade and parapet walls. He did an excellent job and blended in the new bricks with the original for colour and parging. Even though some of the original brick shapes were no longer available, he was meticulous in maintaining the Victorian feel.
After this we hired him to replace a main outside bearing wall which I had great concerns about as it was crumbling and hazardous to those walking or driving beside it. Matt and Brendan could only approach the wall from a shared driveway and arrangements were made with the neighbours to have this clear for 8 hrs a day. Matt had to organise the work in such a way that he could drive a scissor-lift each day and do sections of work. He had to have it all cleaned up by 5 pm...so not ideal circumstances. He did an excellent job.
I am now working with Matt on another project and have full confidence that he is an excellent craftsman with a great understanding of controlling costs and being on time. I would highly recommend him. By the way, some of the pictures on the website show the work he did for us.
