Re: Michael Ravenscroft, Due West Carpentry & Renovation To Whom It May Concern: We are happy to provide this letter of recommendation for Michael Ravenscroft. Michael has completed two projects at our home: 1. The installation of a new vinyl surface and railings on our deck in 2004, and 2. The renovation of our kitchen in 2008. Update: And the remodelling of the upper floor in 2009 Michael was professional in his approach to providing an accurate scope of work and contract price for both projects. Michael ran his projects very well in coordinating his trades and meeting the schedules. Michael is also a skilled carpenter and was able to complete meticulous finishing work on our cabinetry and moldings in our new kitchen. Throughout the kitchen project Michael was able to provide us with creative ideas to improve the look and function of our new kitchen. Margo and I are very happy with the services provided by Michael Ravenscroft and will certainly use him again for future projects. We would also recommend Michael to others for similar home renovation projects. Yours truly, Robert Kavanagh

In January 2008 I was referred to Michael at Due West by a close friend who had previously contracted Michael for work and was pleased with the end results. In our case it was a major undertaking as it required the total renovation of a home in West Vancouver, that was over 30 years old and the work would have to be handled by the contractor with little or no supervision as we are overseas residents. Michael, rose to the occasion and completed a very difficult, often times complicated project with many surprises that we had not initially anticipated as the house was quite run down from being a long term rental. His workmanship, designing capabilities, sub contractors, honesty and attention to minute details was impressive and the end results have proven to be a first class renovation. I have no reservation in recommending Michael for any projects that he may undertake. Najwa Green, Bali, Indonesia |

July 2007, Re: Due West Carpentry and Renovations / Michael Ravenscroft To whom it may Concern: Michael is a true craftsman in his chosen profession. In 2007 he designed, framed and built two cedar decks on my property; multi-level structures incorporating a hot tub, built in bar-be-que, planters and bench seating area. I found Michael to be extremely professional, reliable, and conscientious, design orientated, budget conscious with an attention to detail rarely seen these days. I would not hesitate to recommend Michael for any and all renovation projects both big and small. In 2008 I was instrumental in securing a major residential renovation contract for Michael, based upon my experience in which he completed, with the assistance of sub-trades, a beautiful product, on budget, on-time and in a very professional manner. Sincerely, Trevor Dear West Vancouver. |

September 2006, Due West Carpentry and Renovation's Ltd. North Vancouver To Whom It May Concern:
Reference: Michael Ravenscroft
Michael Ravenscroft executed an exceptional job on our recent renovation (October December 2005).
Michael was clear and concise, organized and reliable. We arranged our renovation well in advance to expedite
the situation and Michael stuck to the budget as well as the limited two-month time frame. The sub-contracts brought
in by Michael were equally courteous, respectful of our surrounding's and excellent at their trades.
Michael was also helpful and resourceful on matters regarding design, and troubleshooting.
The renovation far exceeded our expectations, due to Michael's attention to detail and the pride he takes in his work.
We would not hesitate to use Michael again, or to refer him to others wishing to renovate their homes. |

October 1, 2006 To Whom It May Concern:
We were fortunate to obtain the services of Due West Carpentry & Renovation's Ltd. on short notice to do framing
for a new roof over an established deck.
This was not a small job, since the deck area in question is over 26 x 13 feet in one area, and 6 x 13 feel in another.
The roofline was complete re-done and had to tie in to an existing roof, and was an extremely complex framing job,
which was done efficiently and in an expedient manner (10 long days).
The workmanship was A-One, and the inspector commented on the quality of workmanship on the framing.
Due West is one of the few contractors that we have dealt with over the years who actually shows up when he says he will,
and does what he is contracted to do (and more), and who conducts himself in a professional manner at all times.
We would not hesitate to recommend his services to neighbors, friends, family, and associates.

September 13, 1998 To whom it may concern, Michael Ravenscroft of Due West Carpentry and General Contracting was hired by us to complete some interior remodeling. We were very pleased with the new interior doors he installed, the fireplace remodeling which included construction alterations, tiling and fireplace surround installation and painting. He also replaced our old steel hand railing with a beautiful banister, which was a combination of white painted spindles and stained and varnished posts and railings, which he created and installed for us. The quality of workmanship was excellent with great attention to detail. He kept a very neat and clean work area and was meticulous in his work. We would highly recommend him and hope to use his services in the future. Sincerely, Cherie Bell North Vancouver |
