Report
Duncan came out to our cottage to look at MANY issues we have. He is informative, patient, thoughtful, professional, insightful well, we can't say enough good things about him. We hope to have him do some drawings for us to eliminate our floor to ceiling posts which are presently taking up a lot of floor space and making it very difficult to place furniture.
Based on our experience with him we would not hesitate to recommend him. His disposition immediately puts you at ease, and he is a pleasure to work with.
