A review for The Crack Doctor

My wife and I hired The Crack Doctor to repair some cracks in our (now previous) house. We were pretty unimpressed by his work. All of the quoting and work itself was done by his crew (we never met the "doctor" himself). Several cracks ended up leaking after the initial injection. Each time, the crew returned and attempted to re-inject the cracks. One crack, in particular, had been filled 4 times previously, by which point I said: "Enough is enough, I'll pay you to patch this from the outside." While the crewman was convinced that this made sense, it took substantial convincing to get the owner to acquiesce to this request -- he was on the phone with the owner for some time. (And I should clarify that this wasn't a question of payment -- I was more than willing to pay; I think that the owner simply thought that there would be more profitable ventures for him elsewhere.) In terms of the overall job ... I felt that they did a poor job of cleaning up after their injections. Most other foundation repair companies trim the excess down and apply a mortar-like patch on the inside to keep things clean -- The Crack Doctor did not. All told, I was pretty unimpressed.

A review for Crack Specialists The

My wife and I hired Todd (and his crew) to fix the cracks in the basement of our new place. Todd and his apprentice were on-time, courteous, professional, and competent. They did a great job for a reasonable price. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them.

A review for Clean Master Services

We had Tyler clean the carpets at a house which we had recently purchased. The overall job was well done. Most of the stains were removed from the carpet, and my wife & I were left satisfied. Tyler offers a number of add-on products (which can be purchased at the time of installation), and these products can further protect the carpet or enhance the cleaning. My wife and I opted to employ these add-ons, and again, were not disappointed. Tyler did a good job of ensuring that the carpets were properly suctioned-out (so that they would not become moldy). In subsequent conversations that I've had with Tyler, it became clear to me that he cares deeply about his company, and that he is working to establish a name for himself. I've seen, first hand, Tyler's enthusiasm, and have every reason to believe that he devotes himself fully to the task and takes pride in his work.

A review for Devrye Custom Renovations Inc

My wife and I were extremely satisfied with Rick's work. - his quote was not the cheapest nor most expensive, but he was prompt, professional, and at all times, courteous - the workmanship was of very high quality, and the subcontractors with whom he worked (for our plumbing, electrical, flooring, and fireplace installation) were all top-knotch - his employees arrived promptly at 7:30AM every morning, left every day at 4:30PM, and cleaned up every day -- it was the cleanest job site that we've ever seen I'd strongly encourage anyone to check him out again. His list of references is long, and for good reason -- there are plenty of really satisfied customers, including me & my wife.

A review for Lindner Fine Windows and Doors

We hired Lindner to install a new front doorway (made by Mastertech with Verre Select glass) at our Waterloo home. The product wasn't cheap -- in fact, Lindner was almost twice as expensive as the next quote that we received -- but we believed that we were getting a superior product, and the owner's sales pitch was convincing. The product itself -- the door, glass, archway -- is great. However, the good news stops there. The service was, to say the least, awful. Lindner took my original door out and left the front entranceway unfinished for two weeks. After a nasty argument with the owner (in which he sweared at me), they finally came back and finished the installation. They put in the trim (unevenly at that), and left an electrical outlet and the suspended ceiling in my front doorway disassembled. When I asked them to reattach the ceiling in the porch and to reassemble the light fixture, they told me (in no short terms) that they wouldn't do it. The brickwork at the front was done very sloppily. I ended up having to rewire the exterior light and put up the ceiling in the archway by myself. It was certainly not what my wife & I had agreed to; perhaps we should have recognized the 'caveat emptor' when the owner himself originally told us, "Don't worry, we'll take care of everything." In short, I would NOT recommend this company to anyone. Whereas one might assume that completing a door installation involves fixing what you broke, our experience with Lindner was that he took the wording of his contract literally -- and since the contract didn't specifically state that he would reassemble the lighting & suspended ceiling in the porch, he didn't do it. I consider this fairly to be pretty unscrupulous.
