I recently purchased an older two storey home which needed a lot of upgrades and repairs. The original homeowner neglected to maintain or properly address the aging structure of the home over the years. I met with a number of contractors to discuss the extensive interior, exterior and structural work needed to my home. No one except for Paul from Mainland came equipped with a number of assessment tools, a wealth of knowledge (and patience for my many, many questions) and was the only one who was competent and knowledgeable about BC building codes and how to best go about sequencing the repairs. Based on my budget and working with his engineer we outlined a plan of attack and I couldn’t be more pleased with the outcome. We have essentially rebuilt the entire exterior of my home and I can sleep very well knowing that it is safe and structurally sound. I don’t have deep pockets so we have staggered the renovation and restoration based on priority (starting with the building envelope and working inwards) and I have already committed to begin the interior renovation with Paul once my bank account has recovered some. That is not to say he is expensive as I found his pricing to be very comparable with his competitors but the wealth of knowledge and expertise he brings to the table is great value for your money. If you have a large project you need managed by a professional who goes to bat for you each and every day then Paul and his crew from Mainland is who you need to hire. Would I recommend Mainland to friends and family? Absolutely! Do I have any hesitation in hiring them again? None! Can I say I am thrilled with my experience with Paul and his company? Without a doubt!!!
