This was the second time I used Oborne Contracting. The team was quick to diagnose and offer solutions for an issue with my garage. John and his team were prompt, attentive and were very clean as they worked. While I was not thrilled to need the work done, I was very happy to have someone I could trust to do the job right. I am very much looking forward to the third time we use John, which will be a more personally satisfying reno project.

Oborne Contracting recently removed and replaced our rotting solarium, which is located in our kitchen. In the middle of this 8 weeks + project, when demolition and investigation of water damage was done and we knew there weren’t going to be any surprises, we added a mini-kitchen renovation, which included the removal and replacement of countertops, appliances and sinks, partial reconstruction of a wood island and the installation of a backsplash. I don't think that we can say enough about how great Oborne Contracting is. All renovation is stressful, but the complete overhaul of your kitchen, when you have a young family is especially so – we were very nervous about this job as our previous experiences with contractors were less than stellar. But we shouldn't have been. Everyone at Oborne was so professional, considerate and helpful that the experience was far less intrusive than we imagined. From our first consultation with John to our every contact with the individual workers, we could not have been happier. Every night when we got home, the house was clean and tidy and progress was obvious. John, Ken and Colin offered us thoughtful suggestions and proposals that improved our original design and really enhanced the finished product. Colin and Ken were easy to talk to and extremely responsive to all of our questions. And, best of all, the final product is beautiful. It took us a long time to find a contractor who does great work, is trustworthy and whose pricing is reasonable and transparent. We have already spoken to the team about our next project and are looking forward to getting started!

Wow! What can I say? Fantastic project great clients. Thanks so much from all of us at Oborne Contracting for the review. We loved working for you guys despite the fact you have such a strong loyalty to the Montreal Canadians (Ha Ha! go Leafs go). Understanding you had concerns about the renovation process based on earlier experiences, we expected but never once felt you were overly involved or micro managing us, thanks for allowing yourselves to trust us and complete this project freely. A project always runs as smooth as the owner allows it. We're looking forward to working for you on any future projects you may have. Again many thanks John Oborne

I hired Snow's to replace three ancient and leaky skylights after having received quotes from four other competitors. Snow's quote was in the middle of the pack. What got me was Patrick's terrific demeanor, product knowledge (explained why Velux was the way to go over Columbia and Fakro for this particular project) and his ability to sell me on his company without slagging his competitors. When it came to doing the work, Snow's did everything a customer could want. The project started and ended on schedule and on budget, and Patrick and his workers cleaned up after themselves. I was thrilled with the painless experience. It was a no brainer to call Patrick when my solarium needed to be re-caulked and I was equally pleased with the way this second project was completed. Although I hope I never need Snow's help again, I have no doubt which company I will use the next time I need help with my Skylights or solarium. I recommend Snow's without reservation.
