I hired Tammy to install my new stainless range hood, and had the best experience.
She arrived promptly, brought all the necessary tools, and got right to work! Within an hour, my kitchen was finally complete.
I would absolutely recommend Trillium & Maple Woods for anything you might need done around your home or cottage.

I hired Tammy for a small job that saved me seven hours of driving. And then, while she was there, I asked her to quote on a larger job. In both cases she was fast, responsive, professional, reasonable, and her work was excellent.
