After purchasing a dated townhouse, Helen needed a full-home renovation completed on a tight timeline so she could move into her new space without delay. She required a complete aesthetic and functional overhaul that would modernize the entire home while keeping the project strictly on schedule.

> When I bought my 25 year old townhouse it had the original fixtures, ceramics, cupboards, and mismatched wooden floors – in other words needed a complete refurbishing and updating. Richard promised to have it refurbished in 6 weeks. He planned, designed, found reliable contractors, supervised and installed himself the kitchen cupboards, sinks, bathroom vanities, and electrical fixtures. I was overwhelmed by the change in the place that I would call home. Richard is true to his word and very professional. A weekend carpenter that I highly recommend.

The Weekend Carpenter executed a comprehensive makeover, starting by scraping the popcorn ceilings, painting the entire home, and upgrading the living room fireplace into a stylish focal point. Our team replaced all old flooring with engineered hardwood and custom tile, installed quiet high-efficiency toilets with modern vanities in the bathrooms, and built a brand-new kitchen complete with high-definition countertops and integrated cabinet lighting—delivering a stunning, turn-key home right on time.
