We had been living in Canada for about 3 years when we finally found ourselves in a position to be able to buy our first home. This was a huge step for us – we were nervous and excited at the same time. The most important thing about our home choice was location. We wanted to be in the right school district for our son. Of course it seemed that everyone else wanted to live there too – so home prices were more than we really wanted to spend. We finally found the right house – but it was going to need work. Being new home owners, we really didn’t know where to start or what to do first. We had a very limited budget and we wanted to have a starting point and stage our renovations over the next few years to come. We contacted a bunch of contractors, but when we met Mark Noonan from Plumbing Mart, we knew we’d found the right guy. Mark was very honest and upfront with us. He spoke to us realistically about our budget. He listened very closely to our thoughts and dreams and then he offered very good advise for our starting point. We ended up having Mark and his crew do our hardwood floors (Complete with new sub floors), and paint the house top to bottom. He also fixed a few structural problems created by a previous contractor. We had really been thinking about doing either the kitchen or one of the bathrooms – and can you believe it, the guy from Plumbing Mart talked us out if it…..lol. He educated us that our budget wasn’t enough to build either of these projects to our level of expectation, and by doing the floors and the painting we really made a huge impact on the overall look of the home and the living space for our family to enjoy. Now when we walk in the front door at night after work, we feel happy and proud of our home. The kitchen and the bathrooms will need updating down the road, and you can be sure that we’ll call Mark back for those projects as well – but for now they function just fine and we ended up spending our renovation budget on the right project.
