Client Reviews
“We hired R. Brunette & Son Ltd. to replace all the windows in our century home just outside Yarmouth, and I can honestly say it was the best experience we've had with a contractor. Regan came up with a custom window solution that preserved the original charm but gave us way better performance. The finish carpentry inside was flawless — clean corners, smooth trim, everything done with real care. Highly recommend if you want craftsmanship that actually lasts.”
Daniel M., Yarmouth, NS
“Being out of province, we were nervous about doing a major renovation on our Barrington cottage. But Regan and his crew made the process seamless. From regular updates to quality finishes, everything exceeded expectations. It’s rare to find a contractor with both great communication and such a high standard of work. Our shore house finally feels like home, thanks to R. Brunette & Son.”
Megan & Jeff L., Toronto (cottage in Barrington, NS)
“I had a custom front door installed along with a new staircase in my Shelburne home. Regan's attention to detail and design insight really stood out. He offered practical suggestions that improved the look and function of the space—and he actually listened to what I wanted. It's rare to find someone who’s both a skilled carpenter and so easy to work with.”
Sarah K., Shelburne, NS
