“Reframed and finished our basement suite start to finish. Showed up when he said, kept it spotless, and the trim work is genuinely beautiful. Couldn't recommend Alex more.”
“Built us a cedar deck and privacy fence that have shrugged off two coastal winters. Fair quote, no surprises, and he actually answers his phone.”
“Full kitchen reno including custom built-ins. The cabinetry is better than anything we were quoted at the big shops. Tidy, honest and a real craftsman.”
