“The Sandy Hill Housing Co-operative has been contracting work to the Sandy Hill Construction for over 20 years. We have maintained this long term business relationship for several reasons; quality of work, reliable service and their ability to work safely within our family co-op with lots of children having minimal impact to our co-op community. Sandy Hill Construction has done a variety of jobs for the co-op over the years, some examples are roofing, siding work, rebuilding balconies, renovating bathroom, installing windows and doors. The co-op has always been satisfied with the work and service that Sandy Hill Construction has provided us over the years. We would recommend Sandy Hill Construction to anyone needing their services.” Glen (On behalf of the Maintenance Committee Sandy Hill Housing Co-operative)
