We are very pleased with the work that Cory did in our home installing our lamimate and refinishing the hardwood. It looks amazing. Cory is very professional and helpful. We highly recommend him and his business and will definitely use him in the future. Thanks so much Cory ??
Cory has shown his good interpersonal and communication skills, experience, expertise and quality craftsmanship, and on-time performance in carrying out the 'dustless' sanding and refinishing of an old oak floor, now beautifully restored. As such, he carries my highest recommendation to anyone wanting only the best results in their flooring project.
I love my new stairs! Who knew vinyl could look so good and be so tough.Cory has great expertise, work ethic and taste. His prices are the best around. I will not hesitate to hire him again and again. Merci Cory!!
Cory did an awesome job on our tile backsplash, on short notice for a very reasonable price. He was very efficient, professional and didn't make a mess. I highly recommend him.
We were referred to Cory through social media as a specialist in refinishing wood floors and railing replacement. Other vendors would only quote for one or the other. Cory provided fantastic value and a great reputation. Having done several renovations over the last few years I was pleasantly surprised at Cory's professionalism, knowledge, work ethic and quality of work. He was always ON TIME and would inform of of any changes to the work schedule. He explained decisions and direction and incorporated requested changes when appropriate. The work is top notch and we constantly gets rave reviews comments on how beautiful the project turned out. Cory provided a "custom" natural finish to modernize standard 30 year old Red Oak strip hardwood flooring. Along with the railings it feels like a whole new house. This was all for much less than most of the other quotes we received. Any concerns were dealt with through discussion and a smile. I highly recommend Cory as a professional and a person. My only regret is that I took so long to write the review!!! A+++++
