Repeat customer of 20 years. There is no one else I would trust to do my interior work. I would consider pricing to be spot on with knowledge and experience. John will talk you through the process and deliver a great end product.

I had used this shop a couple of years ago and retuned recently to have some more work done because of my good experience . I found the exact same guy that I met two years ago very pleasant and knowledgeable. He seems to be a guy that is no BS just honest, if he can fix it he will tell you how much and when it will be done. If he cant he will tell you. I was shocked to see some guy gave him a bad review , a very childish bad review I might add. I would take what that guy said with a grain of salt.
