When Basil Pappas
founded The Craftsman's Touch over twenty years ago, he brought
to Vancouver the high restoration standards he learned as a second
generation European Master Craftsman. For twenty years, The Craftsman's
Touch has been Vancouver's leading restoration firm, specializing
in household damage claims for international, American, Canadian
and local moving, insurance and restoration companies. With over 20
years of experience, The Craftsman's Touch brings an extremely high
level of quality and impeccable workmanship. Our reputation is extremely
important to us and we work hard to ensure that you are completely
delighted with our work.
Among the company's
clients, are the Consul General of the United States, the Lieutenant
Governor of British Columbia. As well, the company has done repairs
and restorations for the presidents of major national and international
corporations, entertainment, political and media celebrities and
many large corporations in Vancouver.
In 1998, The
Craftsman's Touch was selected to restore the official provincial
antique collection at British Columbia Government House in Victoria,
the first---and only---company to be so honoured. Restoration was
completed in 1999, to the delight of the Lieutenant Governor, his
wife and the entire staff of Government House. The Craftsman's Touch
takes great pride in the quality of service and craftsmanship we
provide to each of its customers, from the smallest claim to the
Queen's Provincial Representative.
