Highlights
"I reached out to Ion to build some bespoke units for us - a mudroom wardrobe/shelves/bench unit and a utility cabinet for washer/dryer/fridge. Ion was quick to come back to me with very clear and prompt communication. We organised a site visit where he better understood our requirements, took measurements and we worked through the design together, with him making recommendations that improved the original designs I had in mind. The finished products are unbelievable! He is a master craftsman and the units look super high end - we're so happy with them and will be using Ion again for other work"
"I’m extremely happy with the custom-made wardrobe Ion built for me. The quality, precision, and finish are outstanding.. Great communication throughout and the final result exceeded my expectations. Would definitely use Balanova again and recommend without hesitation."
"Ion from Balanova did an exceptional job on our new kitchen installation. He was very professional from the very beginning, precisely explaining all the work that was involved and providing an accurate estimate of all the work. Ion paid a lot of attention to every little detail and was meticulous in ensuring that every item fitted exactly as was needed to our requirements. Nothing was too demanding and was always willing to put the extra effort to make sure he met all our exacting requirements. Ion also did a bespoke job of refurbishing a storage cupboard with new doors and fittings."

Before you hire a builder
Never pay a large deposit up front — agree a staged payment schedule tied to completed milestones, and hold a small retention until snagging is done.
Get it in writing: an itemised quote with scope, materials, start and finish dates, and how any changes (variations) will be priced.
Be wary of a cash-only price or pressure to start tomorrow — both are red flags for an unaccountable job.
Ask to see a portfolio of completed work like yours, plus recent references you can contact.
Check the credentials and registrations that matter for this work — and that they are current.
