TESTIMONIALS
Kort installed the finish cabinetry and stone around our fireplace. The design was a bit of a challenge and Kort provided great feedback and suggestions to ensure the final product would meet our expectations; and did it ever! Kort's workmanship and attention to detail are remarkable and our finished fireplace looked better than what we had imagined! Kort also cleaned up the worksite at the end of each day so the basement could be used in the evenings, which was much appreciated. We would absolutely hire Kort again and would recommend him without hesitation.

Kort Howlett is a versatile, meticulous, and creative craftsman. His renovation of my house transformed it into an open concept modern domicile. He is able to design and create a renovation to suit anyone's needs and taste. He is an accomplished carpenter, plumber, and flooring installer. His true attributes are reflected in his stonework (fireplaces) and of course his painting. Over the years, we also came to trust his innovative decorating ideas. I would highly recommend him to anyone contemplating a minor or extensive renovation. I would be more than happy to personally show any of his prospective clients the quality of his workmanship with a tour of my house.

Kort transformed our living room while we were on vacation. We returned to a spotless home with a beautiful new fireplace, new drywall, hearth tiles and repainted walls and ceiling. The workmanship was of a very high calibre and we appreciated his artistic and creative flair. It was definitely a pleasure to have Kort working in our home.

The first thing to be assured of when one contemplates any kind of home renovation project is how absolutely trustworthy the person is, whom you hire. I have had two renovations done by Kort. His work and his advise are of the highest quality. He often suggests what he himself has done in his own home. I had and still have absolute trust in Kort, his work, his advice and that he usually consulted with me first before proceding on any new phase of the work to be done. Comforting also, is the knowledge that at the end of each day everything will be tidied up. One often hears stories of workmen leaving a job half finished, with Kort that will never happen. When he starts your job, he finishes it before moving on to the next one. However, be prepared to be patient. He is in high demand. Wait for him to get to you. You won't regret it. His prices are resonable. Would I ask him to do another renovation for me? Of course!!

Kort has spent many weeks in our home renovating our kitchen, living room, sun room and ensuite bathroom. The work included heated floors, cabinetry, tile work, drywall and painting. Kort is meticulas in his projects going to great lenghts to achive very high quality standards. I have seen him repaint our ceiling when he was not completely satisfied with his work. He has installed stone veneer, sinks, taps, tub and glass shower, and goes the extra length to assist in colors and style selection. Kort stands out as a unique contractor, specializing in personalized service.

Kort came to our home to build our fireplace and ended up renovating 3/4 of our home! His work speaks for itself. He is meticulous, punctual, willing to listen and share his ideas. Your home is respected and at the end of each day left clean. Because we weren't living in our home whilst work was being done, (we were next door) he didn't have a time clock. My husband and I seen him work to near midnight because he wanted to finish what he started. We would never hire anyone else. He's our guy!

After having my house raised, and the night before the cement finishing for the new basement floor, I had a leaking pipe. That evening I went to see Kort (we live on the same road) and mentioned the leaking pipe. That night at 10:00 pm he came to fix the pipe and continued to spend the next couple of weeks completely redoing the entire plumbing system which included relocating the hot water tank, washer, dryer, new pressure system and more. Later on when I remodeled my bathroom, he was helpful with ideas and installed my new free standing tub and vanity. He knows what he is doing, is well organized and is very clean on the jobsite. He takes pride in a job well done! But... if you choose Kort to do your reno, you can expect a few jokes along the way. He's got a great sence of humour. Thanks very much Kort!

While completing two home renovation projects with fireplace installations, I was fortunate to have Kort complete both of them. He is conscientious, courteous, creative, incredibly hardworking and very skilled in his trade. His attention to detail warrants quality workmanship which is second to none. While working he is obervant and respectful. He consistantly maintains a clean and neat working environment. And he does it all with a smile. If you are looking for a custom, quality carpentry or painting experience, Kort is the one!

Our family has known Kort for a few years. He's renovated our basement with a beautiful fireplace and has also finished a spare room in our home. He and his team are always very meticulous, clean, professional and trustworthy. Many times Kort has changed our minds with new and better ideas to make our home look better and more appealing. Without any hesitation, my wife and I would recommend Kort and his team to you and your family. Finally, our future kitchen renovations will without a doubt be done by Kort.

We love our fireplace!!! After planning for ten years, we did a lot of research on available contractors and picked "Kort" The Fireplace Guy to design and build it. What a great experience! He was friendly, cleaned up after himself daily, had great ideas and kept us involved through the whole process while building it. His price was very reasonable and within the range that our extensive research showed it would be. Not only do we have this beautiful grand fireplace, we made a friend. Thank you soooooo much Kort. Can't give you enough praise!
