Most Excellent Painter and Handyperson!!

We have used Stephen for years on various projects big and small. Stephen is one of the most decent, reliable and honest people I have ever met. There are many things I love about Stephen's work, namely:

- his meticulous attention to detail;
- his experience and capabilities;
- his sense of fairness;
- his love of pets in the house!

We have had Stephen install a new ceiling in our bedroom, paint most of the rooms in our home, repair and replace doors, do minor plumbing work (i.e., change taps out)...there's probably more that I can't even remember.

He is a neighbor, and has a key to our house in case we are away and anything goes wrong.

We trust him as a person and as a handyman 100%.

Thank you Stephen.

First floor painting

Steve did a fantastic job on painting our first floor after an extensive reno. He had lots of good advice and did the job at a very high level of quality. No mess, and on time. Highly recommended!

Painting living, bedroom and kitchen

Good, nice guy, however the workmanship wasn't great.
Was told I didn't need to have the walls primed as "all in one paint and primer" is good enough. On this old house the paint was oil based, so learning after the fact, that it needed to be primed in order to be painted with latex and done properly gutted me.
He agreed to give some money back but not even half.
Expensive lesson learned.

Painting, Plastering & General Handyman Work

I've known Stephen for several years and he is a meticulous painter.
He cares about his work and his clients. He is always punctual, and comes to work with the most positive, pleasant attitude....an absolute joy to be around. His work site is always immaculate.

On top of painting and repair work, he has done several odd jobs around my house that I couldn't do alone. A true Handyman.
At $35.00 per hour he's worth every penny. He will always be the first person I call!

Wall repairs (Drywall), Painting, Caulking

Stephen is skilled, take a lot of pride in what he does, someone you can trust, and friendly.

He goes the extra mile to make the whole process of getting things fixed painless, from choosing the right type of paint for the job, to picking things up from the depot, and helping you avoid buying large amounts of material, when you only need a little.

It was great having you for job, Stephen, you're #1 on our upcoming jobs, and we'd be happy to be reference for any of your future customers.

Dining Room drywall, paint and detail

Stephen is a professional in every sense of the word. His attention to detail, commitment to the job was a breath of fresh air. He is a pleasure to work with, knows what he is doing, and made appropriate suggestions to improve the job and make it even better. As an added value - and something I didn't even consider doing - he repaired some work to a window frame that came up beautifully - something anyone else hired to do would have ignored. I highly, highly recommend Stephen to to any project in your home, especially if you want it done on-time and with top quality workmanship.
