Trim and Casing in living,dining,family rooms
Ewen basically added trim and casings to our entire main floor in our house over two phases in spring as part of a kitchen renovation and just recently as part of a living/dining/family room renovation. His workmanship is excellent. He cuts outside so not leave much dust in the house (it was warm enough to cut outside when we did our renos). He also works well around issues like uneven walls and corners, badly placed sockets/switches. Sometimes space between the trim and the wall can't be avoided so he usually fills that in with caulking and hides the gaps well. One thing is that he always suggests priming and painting after he installs which makes it harder to do since you have to tape the walls. But I think this is necessary otherwise the paint will gunk up when he cuts or sands pieces.
He's a very sociable guy and me and my wife enjoy talking with him about random things as well. His quote is up front and by the book. And I trust him enough to work in the house when we're at work as well. In our last reno he finished casing 3 big rooms for us (baseboard, window casing and crown moulding) in 2 days without compromising quality. So he can really work fast as well.
After painting the wood and putting furniture back and adding Xmas decor the place really makes me feel at home. The trim gives the rooms a nice pop and accents our earth tone wall colours.

Second time was indeed a charm. Lyndon and his wife were up against the clock, with Christmas looming just around the corner, so we quickly agreed to everything. 2 LONG days gave them enough time to have the painting done before the guests arrived to consume all their food and drink. A real pleasure to see their happily astonished smiles. I look forward to working with them again on future endeavours.
