H.James Co. was registered in January, 1993 as the business name for Henry James de Jong. The name Henry James was registered in the mid fifties. Since settling down with my wife Wendy in the Niagara peninsula in 1984 to await the first of our three children, I have worked under another name (The Young Renovator) and then, for five years, as an employee of Quarrystone Construction.
During these last dozen years I have had the opportunity to work in hundreds of homes doing major and minor renovations. Home renovation, with its demand for many skills, has been my stock in trade. But I have also been able to branch out into commercial work as a trim carpenter on large construction sites (schools and nursing homes) and, with the addition of a shop to my home, into cabinet making.
H.James Co. is as small as they come, with just one proprietor and no employees. I like to give undivided, personal attention to every job. If time or size require, I call on subcontractors that I know and can depend on for help. I will gladly look after as much or as little of a job as is required and I am comfortable working with owners who want to do some of it themselves.
The following list indicates some of the range of experience that might be of value to you.
