He was attentive to all our concerns and was able to resolve all issues in a timely manner. We had a drip on one of the posts and James came in at the end of the day from travelling all day and repaired the error. He is very conscientious and personable. Hope to hire him again next year for a different paint job." > Source: Anonymous (5.0, via HomeStars) > "I was worried about getting this project done because of our extremely unpredictable weather. The amount of prep was not a problem with the rain but painting certainly was! In the end we had a break in early September to complete the project." > Source: Anonymous (5.0, via HomeStars) > "Emmett and his team were extremely professional. They arrived when they said they would and kept me in the loop on the status of the project. There was a visit from Emmett same day the project was done to check that everything was done to our satisfaction. Very professional service." > Source: Anonymous (5.0, via HomeStars) ## Trades Painter / decorator, General Contractors, Handyman, Roofer ## See their work _Portfolio and gallery links this business publishes.

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. - Ask to see a portfolio of completed work like yours, plus recent references you can contact. - Check the credentials and registrations that matter for this work, and that they are current. - Get a written, itemized quote with scope, assumptions and a staged payment schedule. ## Contact - Phone: (905) 201-1477 - Website: http://www.studentworks.com --- Source: MyTrustedTraders, https://ca.mytrustedtraders.com/traders/student-works-painting Real public evidence only: every figure traces to its named source.
