Shelley Summers
We have lived in our home for 18 years and from day one wanted to redo the main bathroom!
Thanks so much Andy for making our bathroom come to life and move into 2018! Totally love the tile work!
Sunny Dhillon
In September I walked into a 1,500 square foot empty shell. Within weeks, it was transformed into one of the nicest, modern wellness clinics in Durham. My basic vision of rooms, offices, and a gym/rehab area was brought to life with exceptional attention to detail, earning ‘wow’s’ from patients. The beautiful dark hardwood floors, contrasting carpets, and soothing ambiance impressed everyone who walked through the doors. The project stayed close to budget, and I was always informed about the progress. It was a pleasure working with Andy. Highly recommended!

We met with Andy to discuss a kitchen renovation. He was on time for our meetings and willing to work around our schedules. He had great insights into many possible issues and advice for us about a variety of things pertaining to the reno. He is personable and very professional and got back to us quickly with a quote. Thanks Andy!
Andrew Hogue
Andy and his team did an amazing job on our basement Reno. They were always super professional and great to work with. Andy is always willing to discuss solutions and designs and always had great ideas. Would definitely work with them again for our next Reno!
