    bathroom remodel
    $20,000

    Oliver did a gut remodel of our bathroom, which turned out beautifully. He found some creative solutions to design challenges, including placing a pedestal sink against a brick wall. His quote was quite reasonable, and there weren't any unexpected additional costs during the renovation. He was also flexible with the scope of work, allowing me to save some money by doing some of the finish work myself. Oliver was easy to get in touch with throughout the process, and even helped me resolve an issue with a malfunctioning thermostat months after work was finished.

    Basement Finishing
    $35,000

    I came across Oliver when he was working on another unit in our townhouse complex and had him come over to give me price in finishing my basement. He gave me a fair price so I hired him after doing some research. Oliver worked with us on the design, gave suggestions, and was helpful in making our vision of the the basement should look come to life.

    The subcontractors the Oliver uses are all top notch. I was very pleased with the quality of their work and their efficiency at completing the job. Overall we are thrilled with the way the basement turned out. I would highly recommend Downtown Abbeys if you are looking to do a remodel.
