“We were lucky to connect with Shaun over having our kitchen countertops replaced. Shaun was knowledgeable about different stone options to help us choose. Installation went as planned and the countertops are beautiful. Shaun also connected us with someone to install a new backsplash as well.
We couldn’t be happier with the end result.
Shaun made this kitchen makeover painless and the result beautiful. We couldn’t be happier and would recommend him to anyone. Our neighbor was so happy they had him do their kitchen counters as well!!”

“Shaun Barrett, and his team (recommended electrician, painter, and plumber) did a fantastic job on our Kitchen Renovation. I phoned and he came over immediately, we talked about my expectations and we talked about materials, price, and timeline. He made suggestions but never lost sight of what I wanted and I found his suggestions were perfect! We mutually agreed on everything. He was very pleasant & enjoyable to work with and always called before heading over to work and let me know when he would arrive or if he was held up. At the end of each day, he made sure everything was cleaned up and even made sure I was not without a sink and water for any length of time. Everything was done in a very timely manner & basically finished when he said it would be finished, which is unheard of these days. We would highly recommend Shaun for any type of Reno as he is very capable and has a great work ethic and is very professional! “
