My wife's cousin readily comes to mind. His outfit is called Quaint furnishings. very good and professional I must confess, as he cut his teeth with some embassy jobs, which demand precision and fantastic finishings. His name is Emmanuel or Kwame, and can be reached on 08033043300, 08023657097. He comes highly recommended.

Whatever you do, I would very strongly advise that you are present to supervise the work. Top notch, neat  finishing is the albatross of our tradesmen. No matter how much money you spend on materials, VERY, VERY, FEW of them can do it neatly to international standards. Not to demonize our local tradesmen but I have seen that "highest standard and attention to detail" is relative here.

Frankly, most of these tradesmen cannot begin to picture/imagine how well done you want things to be, their idea of "faultless" could make you weep. There's a silver lining though - if you want it done to your standards, supervise it yourself, don't leave it to the Supervisor to actualize the image you have in your head. I've seen some very good finishing,  in the homes of those that brought in tradesmen from abroad, supervised local trades themselves (because they already knew what good finishing looked like - if you don't know it, you can't teach it) or supervised by expatriates brought in to supervise, using our local talent purely as labor.

Irrespective of the company you use, DO NOT ASSUME that common sense is common, they may be pricey and still not be able to produce to international standards. Do not leave them to use their judgement, too often, it is flawed and poor. Naturally, there will be exceptions but in general. . . . .

OK, gotta stop now, you just awakened some horrible memories, not trying to scare/discourage you

Hi Chaircover, let me know if you still need the help. May be my brother can help you with the same carpenter that did mine. send me an e-mail so you can take a look at mine, if you like it, you guys can go from there.
I had the design done from Lowe's, they are like Home Depot, my brother went to ijebu Ode to buy all the planks
the carpenter charged less than 300K, it took him 3 weeks, but I think I can't get it any better in Naija.
the few pictures I have has my family in it, I would have posted it here.
luckyme9@ymail.com
Note: I shipped my counter tops from here too.
Cheers

I will send you the pictures on Monday from my store, thats the computer I have the pictures on.
I paid about $60 to $70 for 10ft granite look  from Lowe's.  I wrapped 3 together and took it to Chicago
Where we pay $200 per Box.  I was able to wrap them together neatly. Pain in the ass, but it's worth it.
Cheers

Can you send the pictures to me too? I have a project nearing completion in Ondo
I have been thinking about this for a long time because of the horrible finishing job they do in Nigeria
The address is jifola52@yahoo.com

@ Luckyme9

I would be glad if you can send these pictures to me through ayokemi2003@yahoo.com.  I have been thinking about how I can get a good design for my kitchen for a very long time.

Thanks.
