Ryan Franks is in charge of a team of people who understand that the best warrantee is one that is never needed. The two projects that Ryan has organized and completed at our house have produced renovations that are perfect in every way: from design, to the selection of subcontractors, to timetabling, to the writing of the contract and to job completion. His team will not leave the jobsite until the homeowner is happy with the job that has been done. In our cases, there were no deficiencies whatsoever. And for 7 years for one project and 4 years for another - there are still no deficiencies. The best contractors are the ones that you can place full confidence in. Ryan is that.Read More
