I highly recommend Colton. He did excellent work repairing and reinforcing a sagging stair leading up onto my deck. He also built a wonderful pergola onto my hot tub deck. He was extremely professional and completed the work paying great attention to detail. He showed up on time and stayed until the job was done to my satisfaction. If you want a job done to high standards, Colton is your man! - Andy Appleton

BRUCE MCNUTT

We had Colton and crew do some renos at our house. He is a Red Seal certified carpenter. They replaced 4 windows and 2 doors with added storm doors, repaired fascia trim, replaced the carport steel jack posts, and painted the whole house. Excellent workmanship. Was on time and on budget. Very happy customer!

Colton did an amazing job! He put together multiple IKEA pieces quickly and flawlessly, and his painting work was clean, precise, and professional. He was punctual, friendly, and clearly takes pride in his work. Everything looks fantastic, and the whole process was stress-free. I'll absolutely recommend Colton to anyone needing furniture assembly or painting—top-notch work!
