'“Jay and his team led the renovation, which evolved into a rebuild, of our early 1900s farm cottage in Scotsman Valley. From start to finish, they understood our vision, worked tirelessly to realise it, and became friends along the way. Jay had an excellent rapport with our architect, Aaron Guerin from LAD Architecture, ensuring the house's unique features were preserved while modernising it for comfort. Their attention to detail was outstanding…we still admire the perfectly aligned deck screws! Jay and his team consistently went above and beyond, accommodating changes and creating special features like our inbuilt bookcase, mudroom cabinetry, and bespoke closet shelving.

This was a challenging build, with all the quirks and discovery that comes with old houses.  The team’s professionalism, clear communication, and dedication to quality allowed us to continue to focus on our work and young family, while confidently trusting Jay with the build.  We are thrilled with the home they built for us and are deeply appreciative of their talent and warmth.”
