Mark did a great job installing a doggie door in an outside wall of my home. Also installed a swing arm for my flat screen TV. With the swing arm, Mark selected the best product for my needs and brought it to my home so I didn't have to shop around. What a lifesaver!!! Mark also installed 2 outside motion sensor lights. Mark did a great job on all projects and left my house exactly as it was before he started. I would definately recommend him. His prices were also very reasonable!

Wayne was very prompt in his initial contact. He sent an email as well as left a voice mail introducing himself. He is polite and honest, which is very refreshing. He made himself available to come and see what I needed done, which was to hang cabinets in my garage and to fix an outdoor light fixture. He arrived exactly on time, and he quoted me a very fair price. I decided to go with Wayne as he had the best pricing and he was very professional and timely. He had excellent communication throughout the entire project. He arrived on time and the project was done quite well, and he cleaned up after himself. I am very happy with Wayne's work.

Reviews:
Every aspect of the project surpassed my expectations! His price came in WAY under the rest of the bids we received (we literally saved over $3,000!!) I was very impressed by the quality of the work, attention to detail, and overall outcome of the remodel. He was extremely reliable, arriving every day on time (if not early). He was knowledgable, professional, and courteous from the original estimate, to drawing the plans for the permits, to doing the work, right down to the clean up. I can't say enough good things about this company. I will recommend him to everyone I know, and use him again in the future if I have the need!!!
