Brian Wong from New Westminster

We had single pane aluminum windows replaced on our 1940s home with wood siding. The quality of the windows over the Retrotek vinyl windows we had installed on our previous house are very noticable. These ones operate smoothly and were installed by in-house employees as opposed to contracted, smoking riff-raff with the crotch of their pants around their knees. The initial consultation was courteous and Vinyltek was patient with our renovation timeline.

We had the exterior of our seventy year-old house painted by Alan of Celtic Colours after being recommended by our local Benjamin Moore store. His initial review and estimate were informative, professional and realistic. He seemed to have detailed knowledge of the paint conditions, characteristics and needs of the local geographic area specific to the type of home we have. He was not the lowest quote we received but was not far too off. We were looking for a quality job by a professional rather than some hack with a brush and a van. Well, we received quality work and colours which worked well with each other. Trim colours were not finalized until the main body of the house was painted. Alan was always available for consultation on colours and product choice. Was the job perfect? That depends on your definition of perfect. Are you like a first time home buyer who nitpicks every smudge and nick on the trim or do you focus on the really important things? If you're the latter, then the job was perfect. I would Celtic Colours again for any painting jobs I'm not comfortable doing myself.
