I'm very happy. They were professional and did a great job.
Thank you for review
My experience with NMCS was very pleasant, from the get go they were very punctual and accommodating. Gilbert tries his best to give you as the client the best and most cost effective options. Thia is something i really appreciated. Also managed to do some extra work that i requested, and again always tried to ensure cost were kept low., which is brilliant for me as the client.
If i had to be critical on anything its perhaps the cleanup which I'll give a 8/10 and some finishing touches could be alightly better, also 8/10. Overall great exoerience, would recommend Gilbert and his team anytime and wil definitely be using them in future
Thank you

Reliability.
I had the exterior painted last week and was pretty impressed. The crew turned up right on time, stayed super friendly, and were really flexible—when I asked to tweak the finish halfway they just shrugged and sorted it out, very accomodating. Cost was lower than I’d budgeted so the value felt solid. Would call them again without thinking twice

Requested a quote and Sam from SAMBOY JK Trading and Construction was quickly on it. Came out to view the damage and scope of work to be done. He was friendly and ready to start immediately. Received his quote the Thursday and work was done the Saturday. His team is professional and fast. Roof was replaced, painted and waterproofing done. What a pleasure to have been doing business with Sam and his team. Thank you Sam.
Thank you very much for a positive feedback from your side Scott. Again, thank you!

I was happy with their work. The job could have been finished quicker if they were able to arrive earlier but I understand that they live a bit further away from me so overall I am satisfied with the service.
