A review for Fixer on The Roof

Nov 21, 2011

The true test of a good company is deciding to use them in the first place and then based on that experience, using them again. Arthur, "The Roof Whisperer", came in (again) to solve a challenge on our roof. He found a way to solve a $6,000 spray foam insulation/drywall roof job with an ingenious solution to vent our 3rd floor roof (approved by our engineer no less). The 3 person crew (including Arthur) executed the job quickly and cleanly... We will use these guys again and again...

Company Response:

Hey Ben! I agree having expertise in solving difficult problems can be hard to find in the roofing industry. We are blessed to have such a capable talent such as Arthur on Team Fixer! I am happy to hear you will use us again and again! take care Trish and team Fixer

A review for Fixer on The Roof

Dec 06, 2010

We bought our house in May of 2010. It was completely gutted and rebuilt by a home builder...so we thought we wouldn't run into any issues with the house for awhile. Low and behold about 1 month ago we had a leak on our second floor roof. I tried to repair it myself, but the job was far beyond my capability. I had 4 roofing companies in...including a company I had worked with before. We chose Fixer-on-the-roof because they had expertise in the area (including homes like ours), because they responded to a general post I put up on Homestars, they were great to deal with (both Trish and Arthur were a pleasure), and I genuinely felt like they would do the best job. They did...and I will absolutely use them again.

Company Response:

Thank you Ben, We love complex roofing systems! When we get to repair siding, flat roof and shingles it is a bonus. Many people do not realize that the whole exterior needs to all be tied in for a truely water tight exterior. Your home is beautiful..thanks for letting me sneak through. take care Trish and Arthur (the roof whisperer)

A review for Tender Touch Moving & Storage

Oct 26, 2010

This was the first time I used a mover (after many years of breaking my friend's backs and rewarding them with pizza and beer)... All in all it was a good experience. The crew was efficient, ensured that our belongings were safely stored, and handled the 3 pick-up location variable with total ease. I can't say that I was blown away, but it was a good experience. I would consider using them again...

Company Response:

Thank you very much.

A review for CoreTemp Heating and Air

Oct 26, 2010

We bought a completely remodelled house that was roughed in for CAC. The initial quoting process was enough to tell you that these guys know what they are doing. From calling the manufacturer of our furnance for some information, to fully inspecting the installation site, to providing the right solution to meet our needs...these guys raise the bar. We even had a wrinkle where the roughed in wiring wasn't connected...they found a solution for this in less than 1 hour. A first class operation all the way...would definitely use these guys again!

A review for Kingsway Carpets & Blinds

Oct 26, 2010

We bought a completely renovated home in May that was absent all window furnishings. We found Kingsway on homestars.ca and decided to check them out. The experience all the way from visiting their showroom to the installation was handled well. They went aove and beyond with providing temporary blinds for us until the real ones arrived and worked quickly to correct a minor issue with a pair of the shutters we purchased...

Squirrel removal from front roof, solidify access door under back room and repair insulation in crawl space

A review for AAA Urban Wild Animal Removal

Apr 21, 2010

I have not had a worse experience with a contractor. The gentleman that came to my house to close holes in my front roof (squirrel issue) and fix the insulation and close the door to the crawl space (raccoon issue) under my back room has still yet to finish the job! It was paid for in September 2007! He told me he couldn't complete the insulation work under the back room at the time due to rain? It has been over 2.5 years and I am still waiting for him to come back and complete the job... What a joke!

A review for Canlik Kitchens

Apr 18, 2010

We were looking for a cost effective way to update our kitchen...we decided on refacing the cabinets, getting a few new ones installed, replacing the countertop and sink and installing a new backsplash. Canlik came in with a reasonable price to complete the work and were able to execute on our timelines. Would absolutely recommend using them...

A review for Star-Delta

Apr 29, 2008

Upon receiving a recommendation from an old neighbour, I contacted Keith at Star Delta and had him come in to quote on a new flat roof, a new roof over my mud room, and some new fascia board on the second story of my home. I made the decision to go with Star Delta based on price, the fact that they were able to complete the job in the time window I was looking for, and upon a few recommendations. The job was completed professionally, on-time, and within budget. I would use Star Delta again.

A review for Timewell Construction Ltd

Oct 31, 2007

We used Brad back in 2003 to renovate 2 bathrooms in our first house. He came recommended by our real estate agent. Brad came in with a fair price, listened to what we were looking for, and was someone we both felt we could trust. The end result was something we were quite pleased with. We has recommended Brad to other people.

A review for Hardy Cabinet Making

Oct 31, 2007

After moving into a new house, my wife and I realized that we required more stoage space in the kitchen (which was recently renovated). We hired Hardy to come in and build/install 2 cabinets in the kitchen to meet the need. The work matched beautifully, was done on time, and was on budget. I would use Hardy again!
