I wish every contractor was more like Walter. He showed up the day he promised to. He was in constant communication by phone and while on site. He specializes in drywall and it was evident in that his installation was flawless. He did a few extras for me.

Very easy to communicate with Walter. He is an experienced professional with a positve attitude. Helpful, reliable and fair. Above all he gets the job done on time and makes it perfect. Thanks Walter!
Walter did a perfect job, was clean and efficient, kind and affordable! Highly recommend!!
Walter did a great job patching and fixing my wall and ceiling that got damaged from a shower leak. I was upset about the leak since I just had a complete home renovation last year but Walter made it look like the leak never happened. He was kind and accommodating to my scheduling needs and very informative. I would definitely recommend Walter and Manor Drywall Systems & Contracting. You won't be disappointed with the service or outcome.
Walter is the most helpful and trustworthy local contractor. He helped us out immensely with our basement renovation and was extremely reliable and professional throughout the whole process. I would recommend him to everyone. He really goes above and beyond for his clients and he will be our go-to drywall man forever!

Your own checks
What to check before you hire
Worth checking yourself
Their public evidence comes from a single source. Look them up on another site before deciding.
No credentials are shown here and the business has not claimed this profile. Ask to see certificates and insurance directly.
Trade licensing in Canada is set by each province or territory. Electrical, gas and plumbing are licensed trades almost everywhere (for example ESA for electrical and TSSA for gas in Ontario), so check your provincial regulator that the contractor is certified for the work before you hire.
A construction lien is a real risk: in every province an unpaid subcontractor or supplier can register a lien against your home even if you already paid the main contractor. Hold back the statutory amount (commonly around 10%) and get signed lien waivers as you pay.
Look for consistent reviews across several named sources, not one polished profile.
