exterior house painting
Gregg is the ultimate professional. Polite and punctual staff. Efficient and reliable. Bill, the finish painter, is a delightful and accommodating character. All in all, a company to be recommended.

Xtra Long Double
Halstead Sofa and Mattress Makers
This is the third mattress I've purchased from Halstead. Hola what a difference in quality from the "big box" manufacturers!! Martin was personable, knowledgeable and delivered the mattress to my home personally at 9:30 in the evening - he'd promised it would be ready for my trip to the Shuswap Friday morning and it was ready to go Thursday evening as we had agreed. I felt that the "turnaround time" was pretty exceptional in that I'd only purchased the "custom size" mattress (extra long double) on the Saturday afternoon six days before I needed it. Lets see,,, that would be only SIX days from placing the order til delivery!!!! So to me despite the naysayers (all of two or three) my vote is with Martin and the team an Halstead! If you like you can ask him to have me call you if you'd like a first hand account of their product and service! And noooo I do not work for Halstead nor am I in any way being compensated!! :-)

Electrical service disapointment
Although recommended to me by someone, I found the service to be dissatisfactory. I got a quote to both install a new electrical service and a verbal quote to wire the house and after the install of the new electrical service he came back asking for 30 % extra. Not only were the original 50 year old breakers installed and the breaker box left with the cover off, but he decided to walk away from the job before completing the remainder of the work. We had to call the inspectors ourselves to get the first part of the work to be finished being inspected. I would not recommend this service. it may be for less, but I guess you get what you pay for too even if it is just a few hundred dollars.

11 New Windows
I changed 11 windows in my house.Gorgeous quality windows, service, and installation done perfectly. Installers cleaned everything after installation, and took my old windows away,very friendly and, helpful,everything on time. I'd like to thank Vlad Nemchuk. I was really impressed with his presentation, and knowledge, he gave me best ideas. I would definitely recommend this company. Thank you for your service, Vlad.

Air conditioning installation
Brent did a great job of installing AC into our small condo. South facing and with huge windows we needed a solution that would cool the apartment and comply with condo board rules. The rules are very strict and Brent was excellent at navigating these and finding the right unit for us. The condo board were happy to approve the work. The AC works really well and the condo is now blissfully cool.

Lawn care
Terrible service. Purchased through their Living Social deal. When I got no reply from their email, I checked their website and the email address had changed. When I emailed there and got a reply they told me that I was too late and they we're fully booked and that the email on the LS voucher didn't work so they changed it! However, if I was willing to pay $150 they could have someone out to me next week! Gee funny how that works. Total rip off, if you are going to participate in such a program you should honor the committment. What they don't realize is that every customer who gets such terrible service will tell at least 20 others over time that they are terrible and not to use them even though their service may be decent if they would have followed through. Instead if they had honored the deal they would have got a customer that would come back to them in the future. Will not use them ever, will not recommend them ever, and will tell anyone looking for such a service to stay away from Monster Aeration!

Thomson Doors Garage Doors
I had a bad experience with another garage door company who I won't name here but let's just say they were not nice. I was referred to Thomson Doors by a friend and was very pleased with their service. I found the service man to be very helpful and their prices were definitely reasonable. Recommended !

Tree Trimming
I've only recently discoverd this site, so I am reviewing all of the companies I have used in the past few years. This review is for service I received in 2011. My neighbour alerted me to the branches of my tree extending into his backyard and growing under the soffits of his home. At the same time he recommended Alpine Arborists to solve the problem. He had hired them a year or so earlier to do some trimming of the trees in his front yard and he spoke glowingly of them. My expereince with them was also very satisfactory. They came on time both to do the estimate and the job itself. They trimmed the offending branches to my neighbour's satisfaction and also trimmed some on my side of the fence. Although it was not a big job, they cleaned up both yards very well. I found both young men who did the work polite and courteous. Regarding the cost, I don't know how competitive the price was as I did not price shop. The neighbour who recommended them thought that the work he had done was extremely fair-priced, so I will assume the same about the work they did for me. I will certainly give them a call for any other tree work I need done and recommend them to others.
