These notes are from households after the dust sheets came up. They are about kitchens, floors, paint, doors, and furniture, which is the work we want to be known for.
The cabinets follow the window instead of stopping short of it. They protected the floor, labelled every offcut we asked to keep, and left a finish sample in a drawer so we can match it later.
Kitchen remodel
I was worried a new book wall would look stuck on. They scribed it to the chimney and painted the back in the colour of the old plaster. It feels like part of the house.
Library shelves
The boards were worth saving. They said so on the first visit, then proved it. The dust control was the part my neighbours noticed, which is a compliment.
Floor refinishing
We eat outside most evenings now. The screen cuts the glare and the boards have a grip to them when it has rained. The quote matched the invoice.
Patio deck
A chair that had been 'temporary' for three years is solid again. They copied the broken spindle instead of swapping the whole set. I did not expect to keep the original finish.
Furniture repair
The footprint stayed, which saved the tiling. Drawers replaced doors that never stayed shut. It is a small room that finally works in the morning rush.
Bathroom vanity
Samples were judged in the afternoon, not under a work lamp. The trim is a quieter colour than I would have picked, and they were right. The lines at the ceiling are straight.
Interior painting
The old door was tired but the opening was fine. They built a new leaf to the opening we have, not to a catalogue size, and the weather seal is the first one that actually meets.
