Black Thumb Contracting built my beautiful home on Ioco Road. The craftsmanship is second to none. Hayden is an excellent communicator being sure to let us know when and what to expect from different trades. All the workers were professional, doing work expertly, on time, and cleaning up at the end of their day. I am pleased to highly recommend Black Thumb to anyone who expects the best!

BTC has once again expertly completed a renovation for us. Having used Hayden and his team before, it was a quick decision to hire them again for our full gut kitchen and master bath renovation.
Hayden is an excellent communicator and orchestrated an outstanding group of subcontractors. The lead carpenter on the job had exquisite attention to detail and went above and beyond to ensure the highest quality of work was done. Since we stayed in the house throughout the renovation, I appreciated their added efforts to make sure the site was kept clean and safe for my family to live in during construction.
I have recommended BTC to other members of my family, who have been equally pleased with their work and customer service.
While renovations of old homes are never easy, Hayden’s expertise and experience made the entire process run smoothly.

Our experience with Hayden is that he is unique in being able to conceptualize alternative designs and then deliver a solution that fit both our budget and timeframe. He adds value by doing the job right the first time, keeping us informed of progress and discussing issues as soon as they arise. We were very pleased with Hayden’s work and have received many compliments from friends and others who have seen the results. We have no hesitation in highly recommending Black Thumb Contracting to anyone seeking high-quality work delivered by a professional builder.

We had a vision for what we wanted our home to become and Black Thumb made it a reality for us.
The process for us started with a larger firm, with many hands involved and we quickly realized that it was not the path we were comfortable taking. Upon re-thinking our process, we came across an ad for Black Thumb in our local Belcarra newsletter. Upon our first meeting with Hayden, we knew that we had made the right decision to give Black Thumb our business.
Our final product is an amazingly high quality, meticulously finished home that we love.
We would highly recommend Black Thumb to anyone who has an eye for quality and appreciates a business run with a down-to-earth personality.
Our experience with Hayden and the entire team at Black Thumb was more than exceptional.

Black Thumb Contracting has completed a tremendous amount of work on our 104-year-old house in the last 5 years. Everything from painting, carpentry, window installation, and foundation repairs, to acting as our general contractor for roofing, plumbing and electrical. In each and every case, we have been more than satisfied with the work. Black Thumb Contracting (Hayden Killam) is unique in both communicating the scope and cost of the work (estimating) and in the quality of the work done. In addition, Hayden responds quickly when contacted, and any small issues (there are always small issues in a house this age) arising from work done are handled promptly and expertly. Black Thumb Contracting is our go-to source for any renovation, repair or replacement, advice, consulting, and referral.

We have used Black Thumb Contracting for all of our exterior renovations over the last three years. Hayden has a keen eye for design and we have enjoyed working closely with him on many different projects, from our beautiful cedar deck and fencing to an extensive landscaping project.
Hayden made the process painless for us and the results are not only beautiful, they reflect the high quality of work that he insists on. He has transformed our home.
