Before & after.

Real work, real homes and a clear finished result.

White Party

Private event setup

An all-white dinner setting beside the pool, with floral details, formal place settings and relaxed poolside seating. I helped create this setup alongside the homeowner and his friends, bringing the details together for a private celebration.

Client review★★★★★

I can’t recommend Max highly enough! He has been an incredible help and has completely transformed so many areas of my home.

He cleared and organized my entire basement, handled all the trips to the landfill, recycling and donation centres, and completely redid my garage with new steel shelving, labelled storage bins and fresh paint. He also stained my deck, repainted the concrete around my pool, power washed my house, cleaned the gutters, completed landscaping, and transformed an overgrown corner of my yard into a beautiful fountain and herb garden.

Max is hardworking, reliable, professional and incredibly capable. No matter what project I gave him, he took care of it from start to finish and the results were always excellent. Everything feels cleaner, fresher and so much more organized.

I’m absolutely thrilled with the work he has done. Five stars without hesitation!

Thank you, Max, you did an amazing job and I truly appreciate everything you’ve done!
