“We found Dayna and Regan to be professional, efficient, friendly and easy to deal with.
It was important to us to know how much the house would cost in the end. We had a fixed-price contract that was fully adhered to, and payments were made only after each quoted stage was completed.
Overall, we are absolutely delighted with our new home. It is everything we could have hoped for and we are very thankful to Dayna and Regan for making it such an enjoyable experience.”
