I had a consultation with Andrew and Billy to get a quote to add a master bedroom and bathroom onto my house. They were both very professional and gave me great information. They walked me through the process, gave me realistic numbers and a timeframe for the work. Unfortunately, our financing fell through but I look forward to working with these guys in the future!

We were in a tough spot after mold was found and our kitchen sink and cabinets were removed. We couldn’t find anyone available to help quickly. Thankfully, we found Now Renovations. They communicated clearly, kept everything on schedule, and made the process easy. Materials arrived quickly, and once work started, the project was finished in just a week. Their responsiveness, professionalism, and quality of work really took the stress out of the situation.

I had a leak in my closet that ruined my carpet. Andrew and his team did an amazing job removing the carpet, repainting, installing new floors and even fixing my clothing rack that I paid another handyman way too much to repair. I would definitely hire him again. He’s fairly priced, communicative, punctual and an overall outstanding professional. Thanks Andrew.
