Working with Nicolas and his guys as amazing. They made sure not to leave until the job was done correctly and when there was something not to my liking, they came right back to fix it with no included cost. I would highly recommend working with Nicolas again! Very progressional and timely, plus great value for the work they do!

Thank you Nic! Despite small setbacks with the weather, Nicholas was timely and responsed to my initial request within hours of contact.
My project consisted of recreating a small closet in my basement space. Nicholas installed flooring and painted, however additional features such as ikea assembly of merchandise, replacing rails for clothing, and door upgrades are still required to complete this project.
Nic was very professional and precise in his quality of work. I look forward to working with him to finish this project! I will definitely use him for future services.
Pictures will post upon completion of project.
