Positive:Quality
Liam did a great job with our alcove shelving. The job did take a little longer than expected due to our house being Victorian with wonky walls but Liams attention to detail ensured a perfect fit. He kept us fully informed throughout and we are really happy with the result. We will certainly use Liam again in the future.

Liam recently completed the fitting of two double glazed doors and a double glazed utility door. From competitive quote to job completion Liam was professional, courteous and friendly. He turned up on time each day and the finished job was completed to a high standard, leaving the job clean & tidy.
Liam unexpectedly disposed of the old wooden doors which was not quoted for but done at no extra cost to myself. I would certainly recommend Liam and use his services again.

Liam and the team at McGinleys were absolutely brilliant with planning & completion of our kitchen project in 2016. Liam is very detailed and a perfectionist, he is incredibly skilled & knowledgeable and helped us design our perfect kitchen, giving us ideas on how to achieve the best result. The works were done to schedule and he kept us updated daily. Liam and the team were so good, we asked him to help with a second project in 2017, once again, he was really helpful & advised us on many parts of the project as well as fitting a new kitchen & flooring. He has been happy to help and advise us on

When I was experiencing problems in my flat from a tenant above me, McGinleys Carpentry & Construction were so professional, supportive and helpful. they offered their knowledge and experience to give advice and information in addition to the work needing to be carried out so that I may gain a satisfactory outcome. Liam went above and beyond, of which I am very grateful for. He helped me keep my sanity during a very stressful period, I won't hesitate to contact Liam again in future and have been recommending his services to others.

Great team from the initial site survey to the actual completion of the project. Coming up with useful ideas and not phased by 'small' changes requested by ourselves or by the dreaded building inspector! Have no hesitation in recommending them and will be our first port of call for our future projects.
