Darren and team were the best! I would hire them again in a heartbeat. Darren communicated everything. They showed up when they said. Every part of the project was handled with precision and care. Darren was responsive to questions, timeline, cost and provided regular updates. The craftsmanship is exceptional! I already have more future projects in mind!

Darren and his team installed new, super-sturdy and beautiful handrails on a set of stairs at my father's home. Darren was friendly and helpful throughout the process, and eager to brainstorm to give us what we needed. It was a relatively small job, but Darren worked carefully and conscientiously, and he explained everything thoroughly to my father. We love the new rails and would hire him again in a second.

The whole process went smoothly and painlessly. Darren was at my home when he told me he would be there, cleaned up after himself, and did quality work. I recommend him for any work and will certainly use him again in the future.
