Tree trimming and removal

A review for Derek's Tree Service INC

Aug 02, 2012

I hired Derek's to remove two small trees from around my pool and trim a large pine in my front yard. Peter and his crew arrived on time, worked very efficiently, cleaned up when they were done, and were pleasant and professional to deal with. The large pine was a mess, and they cleaned it up beautifully., including removing two huge limbs. They also restrung a phone wire which had sagged - just as a courtesy. Highly recommended

Company Response:

Thank you for the review, keep us in mind in the future or if you know of anyone in need of tree work. Derek

Grante counter and sink installation

A review for Higher Grounds Granite & Marble Shop

May 24, 2012

I selected this company based on Homestars reviews, and was very pleased. The selection of granite was extensive, and the person helping us was very knowledgeable about the materials. And the price was lower than any of the other places we visited. The installation went smoothly, and the installers were very careful about cleaning up. The plumber who installed our sink was very courteous, and stayed late to make sure everything was working well. A very happy outcme.

A review for WaterWorks Plumbing and Drains, Inc.

Apr 29, 2012

I needed a replacement for a leaking outdoor faucet and an indoor shut off. Waterworks showed uo on time gave me an accurate quote, and completed the work very well. I was very pleased that they called twice when they were going to be a bit late. Very considerate.

A review for AA Waters and Brookes

Apr 26, 2012

A highly professional company - showed up on time, gave a good quote, finished when they said they would. I have had two follow up visits for minor issues and they have proven very reliable - even phoning when they were delayed.

A review for Creative Painting Co.

Feb 25, 2011

One of the best renovation experiences I've ever had. Total professionals who took a great deal of pride in their work. Alex managed the job skilfully and the painters were careful, precise, and very pleasant. The job started exactly on time and finished a half-day early!

Paintng main floor of house

A review for Creative Painting Co.

Dec 18, 2010

We found Creative Painters through Homestars and hired them to paint our main floor. The job was complex with lots of paint colours requiring careful matching and edging. Alex provided a detailed quotation, and Vilco and Louis started and completed the job in the time promised. Their attitude was professional, and their work was beautifully done. I really cannot say enough good things about this company. I have been well served by all the companies I have found through Homestars, but these guys are something else. On the last day of the job, we had a celebratory lunch together in our newly painted kitchen with Louis and Vilko. The entire experience was amazing.

A review for Rusco Distributors

Nov 09, 2010

We hired Rusco to demolish a worn out sun porch and install a new one. Israel explained the options, researched carefully, and gave us an excellent price. Gerry and Brian, the installers, were wonderful to work with - did a great job, left everything spotless. They were true craftsmen, great to watch work. They solved problems we didn't even know we had.

Toilet replacement

A review for DrainWorks Plumbing

Dec 01, 2009

I sent Drain Works an e-mail request on Sunday night - got a call back Monday morning - the new toilet was installed by Monday afternoon. This was not an emergency, but Jeff Wright (the installer) showed up on time (early, actually, but called to confirm that that was ok). He shopwed me options, and told me that my new toilet was eligible for a City of Toronto rebate. Great job, great service, and very pleasant to deal with.

Company Response:

**Thanks Bill H.** We certainly appreciate your review and thank you for taking the time to share these kind works on the positive service you experienced with DrainWorks. We look forward to being your plumbing and drain service providers.

A review for Canadian Roofing Company Ltd.

Nov 12, 2009

I contacted three roofing companies, and Canadian roofing gave the best quote, and Bill Kishonti was the most personable of the roofers i talked with. The work was completed when he said it would be, and there were no surprises - just first class work, done by competent and plesant people. Bill also spotted some strut work that needed doing, and recommended another contractor who performed his work to the same high standard. And Bill called after each stage of the job to see if the work was performed to my satisfaction. A great experience - no wonder they have such high ratings.

A review for Shamrock Garden & Landscaping

Sep 25, 2009

Cathal Boyd, the owner of Shamrock, came to us in October 2008 when our backyard was a mud hole - after a new swimming pool installation. He transformed it in three weeks to a beautiful garden and patio. He always did what he said he would do, and for the price he promised. When two cedars died over the winter, he took care of replacement. No fuss - no muss, and honest dealing. A pleasure to work with!
