Tim, Paul, Mitch, Zac and Ben were not only easy to work with but were also knowledgeable and professional. As project managers by trade, we both know how hard it can be to coordinate all the moving parts to ensure delivery. Add COVID to the mix and Paul had his work cut out for him. To his credit, he handled all the challenges like a champ and kept us informed throughout the build.
Mitch, Zac and Ben delivered exceptional craftsmanship with service beyond expectations. Beyond the SpaceMaker team; additional services that were contracted to the build were also amazing. Joe, in particular

We have been using Spacemaker Home Extensions for approximately 25 years, for the numerous renovations - big and small, our home has undergone. I cannot recommend a more skillful, honest, and "patient" group of people. From beginning to end, it is a pleasure to have the team on board. Our family has always felt safe while undergoing renovations, knowing the team always go beyond their obligations, in order to help and please their clients. Thank you Tim and the whole Company!
