A review for Green Tropics Lawn Sprinkler Company

Aug 15, 2012

As always, Eric has helped us with our tricky irrigation system fix up. We have many small hoses to various pots on the property and they all needed adjustments. Eric is very patient and courteous and got the job done! Thanks Eric.

Sump Pump fix

10

A review for Mr Rooter Plumbing

Aug 15, 2012

We called Mr. Rooter about a sump pump problem from a previous installation. Will was the technician and he totally surpassed our expectations. He was friendly, courteous and really, really helpful. And there was no charge for the visit. I would completely recommend him for any plumbing work and I will definitely request he comes back if we ever need work done. Great job! THANKS!

Sump Pump Followup

9

A review for Mr Rooter Plumbing

Aug 18, 2011

I came home one night to find the sump pump Mr. Rooter had installed making a constant noise. I was worried something was wrong so I unplugged the unit and immediately called Mr. Rooter. It was very late but the person I spoke to on the phone was very understanding and helpful, and booked the person for the first appointment the next day. I was concerned about getting charged for the service call, but she reassured me there wouldn't be a charge. It turns out the sump pump had shifted and the controller was touching the sides of the tank, so it was jammed on. The technician moved the pump back and assured me it shouldn't happen again. I questioned this since it already happened once. So I'm sceptical, but we'll see. He didn't charge anything which was good (but expected). But he left without saying goodbye. I wasn't sure if he was coming back or not for me to sign something.

Company Response:

Dear Joe, We were glad to solve the sump pump problem and apologize that our technician left without saying goodbye. We are confident it was not intentional - he assumed the business had been concluded and there was no signature required from you. We hope to provide excellent service to you in the future. From The Team at Mr Rooter Plumbing.

Chair Cleaning

A review for Yorkville Carpet Care Company

Aug 18, 2011

This is the second time I've had Yorkville come to my house. Last time they did an amazing job with my blinds and chairs. The chairs are white ultra suede and get dirty easily. The team cleaned them beautifully and took out all the food and dirt spots. They even helped out with a few other cleaning jobs. Great work guys! Thanks.

Power Washing

10

A review for Good Looking Homes

Jul 27, 2010

Both Liam and Nathan were great at communicating what they could do for us in terms of cleaning our interlocking stone and flagstone. The results for both were astonishing! I could not believe the difference from before. They also put some hardening sand between the interlocking (something I didn't know existed) so that we don't get any weeds growing through the cracks. The flagstone was washed nicely and all the green areas were eliminated. The machines are a little noisy, but I would highly recommend these guys for power washing anything!

Company Response:

Dear Joe, thank you for your review and for choosing Good Looking Homes. I am glad that you mentioned that you were unaware that interlock cleaning existed. We are one of the few companies in downtown Toronto that specializes in cleaning and re-sanding interlock. In addition to removing weeds, moss and dirt; we are able to keep your interlock cleaner and stronger with our hardening sand. We thoroughly enjoyed working on your propert and are glad that you are able to enjoy it during the summer. Again, thank you for the review and for choosing Good Looking Homes.

A review for Green Tropics Lawn Sprinkler Company

Jun 07, 2010

I found Green Tropics on Homestars and called them because of their other great reviews. Eric came over and quickly fixed the main problem with my irrigation (something my previous irrigation guy screwed up). He then fixed some other smaller but time consuming problems as well. He was very honest and I will definitely be calling on him to do my blow outs every fall. Thanks Eric!

Brickwork, Roofing & Eavestrough

10

A review for Quality Restorations Co

Jun 07, 2010

I first contacted Quality Restorations from a referral by another company on Homestars that was too busy to do my brickwork job right away. Right from the beginning, Doug was clear and helpful with information and quotes regarding my brickwork. Because of this, I also asked Doug to quote on some roofing that was required as well. He gave me very good advice and options for the roof and wisely suggested I should also change the eaves and downspouts. Doug had given me an estimate on laying plywood on the roof (which I thought I needed) but honestly stated that it wasn't necessarily required. I went with his advice and saved money! I was very impressed with Doug's brickwork team (Peter & co-worker) and his roofing/eaves team (Mike & son) that I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for this type of work. Doug was always very clear about what was happening and when. Very great service and also very cost competitive when I compared his quotes with others. I feel that I can trust Doug to give me honest advice and would use his services again when required. In fact, I've already had him quote on some other work. I highly recommend his company. (Doug, thanks for the extra work to paint the changed bricks. I really appreciate it!)

Company Response:

Thanks very much Joe - I'll certainly pass this review along to the guys. When dealing with multiple jobs at the same location we do our best to make things go smoothly. We have built our name on honesty as well as charging a fair price for work that is really needed. I look forward to helping you out with further projects.

Toilet leak repair

10

A review for Mr Rooter Plumbing

Sep 14, 2009

Mr. Rooter is a very professional and conscientious company. They told me exactly when someone would call, and when someone could come. They allowed an alternate number too. When Vadym arrived, he covered his shoes and investigated the problem. He was very clear about what the problem could be and he even showed me drawings in his book. His book contained prices as well so I never felt I was being ripped off. He did the work right away once I approved the cost and he solved the problem and cleaned up everything perfectly. His caulking skills are excellent. He put a perfect bead of caulking around the base of the toilet. Needless to say I'm very picky about that kind of thing and I was pleasantly surprised when I saw how well he did it. I would highly recommend Vadym and Mr. Rooter.

Company Response:

Mr. Rooter and Vadym would like you to know we greatly appreciate your review. We offer fair and efficient service and do our best to leave a lasting positive impression. Feel free to contact Mr. Rooter Plumbing for any future plumbing or drain issues.

Cleaning of blinds and chairs

10

A review for Yorkville Carpet Care Company

Feb 16, 2009

I would highly recommend Yorkville because of their great service and amazing results. The whole process from making the initial call, getting someone over to do the estimate, and finally the removal and install were headache-free. I had a badly stained white Hunter Douglas Trio blind that needed cleaning and it came out looking totally clean! Metal venetian blinds that had years of dust caked on them looked new again. And white faux suede chairs were revived by a quick cleaning. Be aware that the machine used for the upholstery cleaning was fairly loud though. I didn't bother getting other quotes (because I trusted the 9.9 rating they received here) so I don't know how they compare in price to other companies, but to me, good service is worth every cent. Thanks Avery!
