Where about you live? He lives in Surrey so he might not want to travel far. He is not a professional but he does a great job. So far he laminated one of my bedroom. Changed doors. Replaced 2 of my small washrooms with new vanities and installed a new bathtub & a new vanity in the main bathroom. I will have him to replace my kitchen cabinet after the new year. He is older so he is a bit slow but he does a detailed job and clean up after. He is retired but he loves love working. I pm you some pictures of the work he's done. OK?作者: cunningchu 時間: 2011-10-19 18:35

Fong. Please email me the pictures as well. I can't wait to see your revised home after our consultation.
Also may I have the man's contact # as well? I can refer him to clients that are on a budget and don't mind to job to take place slowly. Thanks!作者: yogi 時間: 2011-10-20 19:28
Me too. Please email me the pictures and his contact. Thanks.作者: fongparker 時間: 2011-10-21 19:17
Hi Zuesel, how are you? Done the moving? Yes after the bathroom is done(almost), I will take some pictures to show you guys. I used the Benjamin Moore paint you recommended. I love it!
After the bathroom, the kitchen reno will have to wait after X'mas. I don't want messy kitchen around X'mas.
I will pass Ike's phone number to you all if he is ok with it.
BTW. I know bathtub door is nicer looking but I hate cleaning so I think I go for curtain. What do you think?作者: zuesel 時間: 2011-10-22 10:40
I'm glad you went with and love the colors! I'm finished moving and doing renos myself too.
I recommend curtains over doors for bathtubs. Coz o's safety reason plus they are kind of out dated not to mention cleaning is a hassle. Plus it's more sophisticated and cheaper. 作者: fongparker 時間: 2011-10-22 18:23
OOPs. Didn't check here before I called Ike to go ahead with the tub door just now . Too late now. I went to Rona today and saw the tub door demo. It looks good.
What do you mean by safety reason? Updated? How?
Anyway. Please show us some of your before and after home reno pictures, will you? Is your website up yet? Pls post your link. How is puppy & hubby? Although we have only met once, but you a loyaukee!作者: zuesel 時間: 2011-10-22 19:55
There's a track On the rim on the tub. There's been cases with someone slip getting in and out of bath and need up landed on the track. Ouch! I'm sure that it's not too late to chg. As long as it's not installed, u can still refund it. But it's up to you. Just make sure you are very careful, ok? I will invite you over when my place is done!作者: zuesel 時間: 2011-10-22 22:50
I meant "ended" up landing on the track.
Btw, don't forget to reposition the art work. ;)作者: fongparker 時間: 2011-10-23 15:43

Awesome! What a huge difference to change the door colors, rid of the wallpaper, repaint the walls, remove the small cabinet and also replace the big one. It takes a lot of courage to decide on letting go and making changes. I'm really glad you put the advice into action! You are a very smart shopper! I hope everyone can also understand that if you do it right the first time you actually save money and time and be very happy with the place you call "home"!
Pls post more before/after pictures later of other changes we've discussed!
Btw, my website is under construction. Nonetheless, I was an honor to provide you with my service! Nothing makes me more thrilled to see a happy customer!作者: fibbi 時間: 2011-10-23 23:33
Ben Moore paint is very good quality one...作者: fongparker 時間: 2011-10-25 19:18
Model is my daughter's friend. This pic was taken 15 yrs or so ago! But the bathroom was same 2 weeks ago,, Now the new one! My son in law will paint the wall. Door knob has to be changed too!作者: fongparker 時間: 2011-10-25 19:37
Vanity from Costco $499. Beware! Took home the first one, opened and found the top was broken. 作者: B2L2 時間: 2011-10-26 13:31
Wow, what a difference, Fong. Nice to see the reno going along nicely.

Thank you Brian. You must be busy with your new house too.
