We are so proud of the 600 sq ft addition on our home! Hiring Guilian made the process seem like a simple and worry free task as he managed the project throughout, while maintaining budget estimates. The addition looks fantastic, and we couldn't be happier. It's terrifying to think your home can be ripped open and expanded, but Guilian made it look easy with minimal impact to our lives. Thanks Guilian! We would recommend Guilian to anyone looking to build an addition!

Gulian did a great job on a very small kitchen, that most contractors weren't willing to take on due to it being such a small job. His work was top quality and ensured I knew what was happening at all times. His attention to detail was fantastic and I already planning to see if I can hire him again for another reno! I would highly recommend him to anyone in the London ON area and you won't be disappointed!
