Drywall Repair

Rick and Anne were very friendly, flexible and knowledgeable. At first, we were tentative leaving our home to complete strangers but after meeting Rick and Anne we no concerns. The ceiling in our hallway had water damage but Rick repaired it seamlessly. Our hallway looks better then new and he also fixed the wall in our closet. We look forward to hiring Rick and Anne to finish our basement next year.

large bedroom/work space painted

I had 2 bedroom condo to be painted with some major wall repairs to be painted. Rick and Anne showed up at the appointed time, covered the little bit of furniture and floor, repaired the walls, painted the space, uncovered the furniture and all in a week. They were friendly, courteous, very hard working and professional at all times. I could not have found a team as good as they are. I have had 2 follow up calls to make sure that everything is still OK.

Various projects

We are so glad we found the Husband and Wife team. We hired them for a bunch of jobs around the house. Rick showed up on time, went through everything we needed in detail, and offered his own suggestions. We're extremely happy with all the work that he did. His quote was accurate and he completed everything quickly. He was even able to fix a problem that the so-called "experts" were unable (or unwilling) to fix. We would definitely recommend Rick and will be hiring him again in the near future.

Install interior handrail

Rick did a super job installing a wall-mounted 16' oak interior handrail in our home last week. He and Anne filed and sanded the wood nicely, so the railing is ready for us to stain and finish. We are pleased with all aspects of the job performance and interactions with the HW Team, and plan to call them soon for more projects at the house. Glad to have found them through Homestars.

It was a small job, but our first handrail installation in a long while. You were a pleasure to work with.

fence and gate

Rick and Anne did a great job on our fence and gate. They were punctual, organized, focused and friendly. Very importantly, they listened to our design ideas and consulted with us on the details, offering choices. The gate is nicely hung and the fence is solid and attractive. They will be doing more work for us in the spring. I can highly recommend Rick and Anne!

We are happy that we fit you in before end of season. You were very clear from the outset about what you wanted, and responsive to our suggestions. A good exchange both ways throughout; we very much appreciate that!

Multiple projects

Rick worked on a couple of small to larger projects for us.
From transforming a staircase to a basement unit into a pantry, to changing light fixtures, to some emergency work due to a water leak in a basement unit.
Rick and Anne are friendly, knowledgeable and execute the work to a high standard. They usually communicate well during projects and met or exceeded my expectations. Cost are fair relative to the level of work.
I would recommend them for future projects.

overhead shelving

I believed the reviews so I hired Rick (no sign of his wife) to build some art storage shelves on top of an ikea pax unit. (12 foot ceilings). The shelves were basically a set of open boxes to store framed art. Before he started Rick asked for $375 to cover materials. I was away when he installed the completed shelves and he was very anxious to get paid, emailing me asking for a bank transfer while I was on vacation. I complied but I wish I hadn't When I got back to see the finished result,not only were there 2 gouges in my walls from when he installed the unit, I was upset to find he had used the rock-bottom cheapest plywood on the market with knot holes and stains to build this shelving unit. He then faced it as I requested with oak stripping which matched the Pax wardrobe. However the rough plywood complete with pencil marks is plainly visible. We did discuss using a less expensive plywood to match the studio environment, but there is no way the materials used here cost $375. What craftsman would face such cheap materials with oak stripping? this defies commons sense. yes I have sturdy shelf. But I will have to fill and paint the plywood (now at 9 ft above the floor). It's not just me, several visitors have commented on the ridiculous choice of materials. By the way I've had almost all the furniture in my live/work studio built to fit the space - nowhere in the studio is there any suggestion that I would be happy with cheap fir plywood-the materials are all of high quality. There's no excuse for this and especially at this price.

Thank you for the review, and the opportunity to learn from this experience. In future, I will be sure to clarify the choice of materials. I made an assumption that when you decided to go with rough ply, that you knew the difference between rough ply, good-1-side or paint-grade ply, and that you wanted a well-made, though utilitarian set of storage units for your artwork. If the materials used were higher quality, the cost to you would have been greater. I am very proud of the work that I do, regardless of the quality of the materials that the client chooses, and I am quite proud of the units I built for you.

The 375.00 advance was not out of line with a roughly 30% advance that many contractors ask for to cover initial expenses. I used that money for materials, as well as shop rental fees. The money you advanced me just covered those initial expenses. As for the final payment, I asked if you could do an e-transfer while you were away because it is an easy way for clients to make payments. I am sorry if you felt any pressure to pay me right away, though if you had said that you wanted to wait until you returned, I would have waited until you were back at home.

You didn't happen to meet my wife, because she doesn't always come with me to see a potential work site, or to take measurements. She helped me with the building of the units and with some of the installation, but you were not there to meet her. And we agreed to do the installation while you were away, because it would be less disruptive to your working and living in the space. I will not do this again in future.

Thank you again for taking the time to write the review.

Custom closet shelf installation

After discovering a dead animal (and foul odour) behind our walk-in closet walls, we had Rick remove and replace the drywall and install new custom closet shelves.

The quality of his work is excellent. We are thrilled with our new closet. Rick is hard working, on time, and has a very pleasant demeanor.

Will hire him for future work.

Thank you, Mark. A fun job to get into, getting back to basic shelving design, and great to be able to organize a space.

Two Bathroom Vanities installed

Rick and Anne did a fantastic job installing my new floating Ikea vanities and even managed to deal with the "European" plumbing that comes along with them. They were on time, great fun to be around reasonably priced and I would recommend them whole heartedly....and I plan on calling them again myself!
