Service: Installed wood paneling, wallpapered, and painted a bedroom wall
I hired him to do a bedroom wall - wood panelling, wallpaper, and painting. It was fantastic. He was very helpful, fast, nice, on time, and the work was very well done. Price was good.

Service: Replaced leaking rusted bathtub, preserving tiles and removing debris
I hired Stuart to replace a rusted and leaking bath tube in the existing environment, not harming the tiles or other things. They accurately removed the old one and installed the new one, kept everything clean, and took away the garbage; it took two days. I communicated with Stuart himself, it was easy, and they came on time, so I am pretty glad with the work which they did. It was an insurance case and very specific, so I don’t know about the price, but I would highly recommend.

Initial Review
Service: Site assessment, material procurement, reinforced wall installation
Nathan installed a second wall to reinforce an old wall in our studio. He came first to see what had to be done and talk to me, ordered everything, then did the install in one day. It was very quick, great communication, professional invoice, very easy, and he cleaned everything up - he even had his own vacuum. He arrived about two hours later than planned because of a rental car but he told me, and while the price is higher than others it matches the quality, so I’m continuing with him for more things.

Initial Review
Service: Renovation of our house in Barcelona
After analysing our space, she implemented a great concept with smooth communication explaining everything carefully without rush. Tamara was very transparent and precise about timelines and expectations. She even exceeded the limits of our imagination with her creativity and knowledge. Working with her is highly recommended. She definitely exceeded our expectations!

Initial Review
Service: Landscape and garden design services, client consultations, project collaboration
Bettina is a landscaper and garden designer, and we collaborate on several projects, helping me decide what to do with some clients and garden issues. She's so, so good and professional, always available, and going with the client is a big plus. She really complements the project and helps close the circle between the house and outside. I use her for special clients, not in all projects, because it depends on the budget and projects have to be a minimum, but the quality and the final result are more important than the price, and my clients end up happy with no problems. If you want, say, a hundred-year-old olive tree, it's the price, but for me it's worth it.

Service: Electrical work and bathroom renovation in Girona apartment
Steve came to do electricity work in my apartment in Girona, and also redid the bathroom - the shower and all the stuff. I was very happy with his work and the price felt fair. He was always responsive and very punctual, even a few minutes before the time. Everything was fine and I would call him again.
