My neighbour hired Mainland a few years ago to renovate his kitchen and when I asked if he was happy with their services I was told “without a doubt.” As a result I got Paul’s contact info and requested him to come over and estimate on a basement renovation. Our home is three stories but it might as well be two stories and with an unfinished basement which is cold and uninviting. He was on time and professional during our meeting. His estimate was clear and comprehensive. My husband wanted to get a few more estimates to compare and we knew within seconds of meeting with other contractors that our minds were already made up. One of the contractors was late. Another didn’t show up at all for the scheduled appointment and when we called he said “oh I’m sorry I forgot.” We also had to wait for 3 weeks for an estimate from one of Paul’s competitors. Totally unacceptable in my opinion. The job went smoothly, his sub trades are polite and accommodating and he advised us all along the way on how to best spend our money and where to save...very helpful as costs can really skyrocket if one is not kept in check. We now have a 2 bedroom legal suite that is so nice my husband doesn’t want to rent it out. We will have to have Paul come back and re-do the main floors of our house after the holidays or we’ll being moving into the basement suite and renting the top floors out.
