Wallpaper removal

The job we hired John for was a wallpaper removal job. The paper had been installed over 20 years ago. We wanted to get the job done in one day or less, and I knew we couldn't manage it without tearing our hair out. We were very lucky to find John, who although he was busy at the time, was able to make time to get the job done. He was punctual, pleasant, considerate and professional. We'd be glad to have him do more work for us.

Stairs

Where to start.... After seeing 8 people with all different ideas and extremely different prices and visions of how to make my dream come true, I met John. The transformation of my staircase is so incredible. Exactly what I wanted. Job was done quickly and professionally. Thank you!

Painted bathroom and main hallways

We chose John Etheridge to do some painting for us based on recommendations from neighbours and acquaintances. We were delighted by his professional approach, fair pricing and the quality of his work. It was refreshing to have a pleasant, honest, hard-working gentleman working in our home. We will certainly call John in the future and highly recommend him to others.

Funky wallpaper - powder room

We'd hired John a few months ago to paint our powder room and main washroom and when it came time to add some wallpaper in our powder room we hired him again. This wallpaper was pretty tricky and I was not brave enough to attempt this myself and john did a phenomenal job! We could not be more pleased with the look. Everything lines up perfectly.

Refinishing stairs and various small cosmetic jobs

This is the second time we have called on John for a job. This time he removed cat-ripped carpet from the stairs and recovered them in laminate. He also did a number of smaller repairs, including filling a gap around a door frame that we had filled with spray foam 0 and not much else! The job took longer than anticipated - though to be fair, the quote was based on iphone pictures - but was done very nicely. John has a good eye for design and colour; the stairs look great, the door frame repairs look seamless and overall we are very satisfied with the work. We have another job lined up for him already!

Repairing damaged drywall and painting

We chose John Etheridge, Pretty Handy Guy, based on Homestars' recommendations and were extremely pleased with his services. John is personable, knowledgeable, honest, and responsible. He kept us informed at each stage of the project, willingly made changes as the project progressed and most importantly for us, devoted his entire time to our project rather than spreading his time between several ongoing projects. We have already scheduled him for two more projects.

John has worked in our home a number of times. He is always professional, precise in his work, very high standard of workmanship. We have referred him to others on many occasions.
We can count on John to always do a fabulous job. Our laundry room work included removing old flooring, lay new flooring, remove cupboards and reinstall cupboards, paint room. As always, excellent. We enjoy having john work in our home.

Painting and miscellany

John is a pretty handy guy! Quick response to my initial contact, set a start date that worked for both of us, provided a written quote, arrived on time and did a fantastic job. Detailed, neat, professional, courteous and just a nice guy. Rehung curtains and the awkward Chinese screen! And so efficient to have someone do such a good job painting and also replace the bathroom faucet and light fixture and caulk and regrout the tub! Thanks John, I think you may hear from me again.

Washroom painting

We hired John based off the reviews on Homestars. Straight off the bat when I contacted him he called me back right away. Once i submitted the information for the rooms requiring painting he provided a quote in a timely manner. He gave me a date he thought he could start the project and that date did not move. He confirmed the date the week prior and arrived right on time that day. He was very pleasant to deal with and did a wonderful job painting our washrooms which have a few tight and awkward areas. Both my husband and I are very pleased with the work and the washrooms look beautiful. I also selected some wallpaper which did not arrive in time for John to install yesterday so we've set a date for him to come back and also install that. I've also got him quoting some other work we are interested in doing.
