Testimonials

What others are saying.

“After an unexpected flood, we were overwhelmed with the damage to our basement. Ed completely turned the situation around. He relaid our flooring, repaired and refinished the damaged drywall, and gave the entire space a fresh coat of paint. What started as a disaster ended with us finally getting our dream basement. Professional, efficient, and easy to work with from start to finish — the work was done quickly but with great attention to detail. We couldn’t be happier with the results and highly recommend him for any home project.”

Nate & Natalie Richardson

“Ed renovated my ensuite bathroom and I couldn’t be happier! He handled the drywall and painting, and the whole space feels brand new. He was reliable, detail-oriented, and easy to work with. I’d definitely recommend him to anyone looking to update their home.”

Linda Moorcroft

“Ed Schaefer has done the bulk of the renovations to our home for the 16 years that we’ve lived here. We wouldn’t trust anyone else. Ed is conscientious, knowledgeable and friendly. We trust him completely in our home. He understands the vision of what we want, and works to create that for us. He is skilled in many areas - tiling, drywall, mudding, framing, and much much more. We would recommend Ed to anyone who wants to be completely satisfied with the process and completed product.”
