I have completed two complex projects with Mark and in both cases, the professionalism was…read moreoutstanding. Potential customer should know that when you hire Lee Valley Carpentry, you have Mark doing the work not some inexperienced handyman. My patio and deck project required both new install and working with existent features. Mark ensured that everything was beautifully aligned and the products that he used were top quality. He is extremely easy to communicate with and is able to explain very clearly how everything will come together. In short, if you want an outdoor living space that you take pride in and want to last, you should work with Mark. There are simply too many companies, putting up lousy fences and decks that look good for two years and then everything starts lean. This won't happen with Lee Valley Carpentry.

We contacted Mark regarding getting 7 doors hung. He gave us a price and was there on time as…read morepromised. I do a lot of woodworking myself but hate hanging doors. Mark was on time and ready to go.....the work that needed to happen was more than he thought, all the doors needed additional work and trimming Regardless, Mark hung all 7 and put in a long day. He would not take any money upfront, and although I felt he deserved more money, and I offered it to him.....he would not take it. Mark did an amazing job and I will certainly provide a reco to anyone who asks. Doors look amazing. I live in Calgary. Craig

Our experience with Binford Contracting was awful. Brian:…read moreOwner/Manager, acted in capacity of both General Contractor and also personally completed some of the construction work. General Construction: Incorrect placement of skylight boxes (rafter relative to joist) resulted in obtuse angle kink within skylight shaft. Despite Brian's original insistence that this is how he does all his skylights; after much discussion (and viewing of photos on Google), the skylight boxes were reframed to ensure the shaft was straight. This resulted in additional delay and cost as the holes cut into the roof deck had to be enlarged and new custom skylights ordered. General Contractor: Renovation took ~4 times longer than estimated. While the renovation was in progress, Brian went on vacation. We had trades coming to our home asking for direction. Texts sent to Brian were not returned during this vacation period. Upon return from his holiday, Binford requested interim payment. This was accommodated despite the initial agreement that payment could be made in full at the conclusion of the entire job. Insulation work, completed under the direction of Binford, now impedes passive air flow ventilation. This has resulted in frost/ice accumulation on our attic deck and condensation related drywall damage. Independent professionals attribute this to improper application of insulation in the attic space. Rather than return to the client site to assess the situation, Brian's email response speaks volumes: 'if indeed the attic was over insulated, this will not be covered by Binford...' Despite multiple requests, Binford was unwilling to honour the 2 year contractual warranty on workmanship. We are now left with significant remediation work, approximately 1 year, post-renovation.

Mark's professionalism and customer service is head and shoulders above all others. We found him to have comprehensive and wide ranging experience in renovations and specialty work. From our base ideas, he was able to provide suggestions and photos from previous projects so we were able to better visualize the end result. He was attentive to detail and kept us knowledgeable on exactly what to expect at each step in the process, thereby ensuring that everything proceeded predictably and smoothly. All work was completed on time and within budget. We found his crew to be personable, courteous, and they kept the house very clean throughout the whole renovation. The house looked fantastic and was 100% ready for us on move in day, as promised. This is why we give a 5 star endorsement and thank Mark and his team for their high quality work.
