Love my new sliding door!

Finally replaced my patio door. We puchased a new sliding door from David.

I am a contractor and a bit of a perfectionist. I rarely hire out any work on my house. Being too busy, I gave the go-ahead for Davids installers to do the work, and I'm glad I did.

The install was well done. The door is wonderful - the integrated blinds meant that I could eliminate ugly curtains and rod in my kitchen. I love the door and the difference it made to the entire look of the kitchen.

Happy customer.

Window installed

We had our windows and sliding door installed by Davids company. One window was not square. The cranks on all windows were prematurely wearing down.(metal shavings were coming out). David said these were the best you could get. He said they would be replaced but even after years nothing has happened. There is moisture build up on the bottom on all the windows he installed. His response was there is to much humidity in your house. But my sliding door(new), basement window(old) and my windows on my front door(old). Have no moisture build up at the same time. Now we have noticed a draft coming from under one of our windows(another install issue). Once again David said he would get someone to come and fix. But, still nothing. If you want a company to install windows quickly this is your company. Be careful of the quality of work and if you have any issues he will not support you as a valued customer.

I saw no examples of lack of quality regarding workmanship when at this clients house and the client never brought up the issue when I and my installers were there the last time when replacing a window previously installed.
If any client could attest to my willingness to spare no expense in regards to taking care of an issue it would be this client as I replaced his largest window at my suggestion to a completely different style of window worth probably twice as much as the original and probably worth at least double what the original profit on the job would have been. He doesn't mention this.
Our last conversations involved a back and forth regarding condensation for which there is no warranty no matter how good any window is in extreme cold or with high moisture in the home but it wouldn't have mattered what I said this client would never have accepted any explanation regardless of its truthfulness
This client has my cell # and can feel free to call anytime but also has the supplier phone # should he have any manufacturers issue.
At no point did I ever suggest that I would not be prepared to do whatever it took to make him happy regardless of expense to our company

Eves, windows and doors

We had Dave’s company do our evestrough and then a few years later our windows. I don’t have any complaints. His workmen are hardworking and treat your house like it’s their own. Quality of product is good too. I have recommended him to others and would use him again. oh and his prices are excellent.

Eavestrough install

Doesn't honor warrnty. Got eavestrough installed 3 years ago and I have leaks in almost every corner. Called Davids office over and over with no response. Shotty job. Never again will I use this company.

Company Response

I have no idea who this could possibly be and our company has installed over 1 million feet of eavestrough and I'm not currently aware of a single leak other than that caused by shingles too long or too short for which there is no warranty
Should a job be done like what the above person has suggested the entire job would be torn down and redone in its entirety
I would certainly like to speak to whoever has written the above review for clarification as I don't believe it however 416-567-8794 is my cell phone so please call

Doesn't stand behind his work

We have used David Snell twice to install windows and doors for us. The first time the window installation and quality was okay, but the door installations - front door and fire safety door to the garage never operated the way they were supposed to. We used him a second time for windows only. The windows were supposed to be the same as the first job, but the finishing was poor on several of the windows. David tried to fix the problem but couldn't. He would have had to replace the windows and he didn't want to do that. In the end, we were very unhappy with the results. We had withheld the 10% of his fee while he tried to fix it. In the end he just put the charge through on our credit card without our approval and without fixing the problem to our satisfaction. He offered no sort of discount or any other compensation. He might come in with good pricing to win the job but we will definitely not be hiring him again.

This review is grossly unfair
I dealt with this client 3 times in total and did multiple extras just because I chose to
I did windows originally without incident
I did doors on the second contract and although the client suggests there was an issue I can only assume it was addressed either by my installer, service technician, or supplier She never raised any issue with me the 3rd time she called me back to finish the windows so I'm surprised that she mentions there being an issue in the above review.
The 3rd contract involved me finishing the windows in the home
She asked for special terms which I gave her
I finished the job and probably never asked for any kind of payment for at least 30 days after job was done
She mentioned she had a couple of marks on the inside of the windows.
I suggested (not her) that she hold back 15% of the balance until we could agree on a time for me to come by and take a look at the issue
I went by one evening and felt I did a thorough job cleaning up the marks on the jamb extensions which are vinyl in this case (NOT on the windows themselves)
I had a good conversation with her husband as I was leaving and explained that if there was a further issue I would be happy to change the jamb extensions (NOT the windows). The client suggests I would have needed to replace the windows which is simply not true.
I never heard back from the client and assumed (wrongly) that everything was fine and my office put thru the remainder of the balance on the credit card.
I received a nasty text maybe a month later (we had never had an exchange of harsh words or texts before NEVER) so I was extremely surprised.
I sent a text back reiterating the quality of my product and installation but stated in my text that I "would do anything necessary to make her happy". This text is still on my phone today.
I never heard back from her until reading this review
This review does not represent that of my 32 other clients on Prairie circle nor the 89 contracts they represent (although 3 of those jobs were for the above client).
Wendy you have my cell # call anytime

Careful who you HIRE

We had this company do the roofing in our Condo Comples...10 years into a 20 year warranty (and paper work stated IKO 20 year warranty)they had to be re-done and David Snell would not honour it saying we had to provide a "copy" of the warranty from IKO ...WHO GETS WARRANTY DOCUMENTATION FROM MANUFACTURER. We dealt with David Snell, we paid David Snell and he had hoped the Board would not have copies of his invoices etc. because HE DENIED EVEN HAVING DONE THE WORK, we DID have copies and he still would not honour warranty, we had to go elsewhere and pay full price. WILL NEVER USE THIS COMPANY AGAIN. GET AS MUCH DOCUMENTATION AND CONFIRMATION THEY WILL HONOUR IT IN WRITING.

This review is grossly inaccurate and simply NOT true and I have never ever spoken with the author of the above review
We are NOT a roofing company
We do NOT purchase shingles
We do NOT subcontract roofing
We NEVER did roofing at the above mentioned condo corporation
If the condo corporation is Windwood drive in Mississauga we did do all the siding , soffit , fascia , and eavestroughing and I'm not aware of ever having had any service at the above complex.
We did coordinate with the roofing contractor as our installations followed each townhouse block as roofing portions were completed.
The author of the above review can certainly feel free to call me and I will be happy to remind him or her of who the roofing company is but they were the purchaser and any warranty claim would have had to go thru them as they were the purchaser of the shingles.
We do not advertise roofing nor would we ever suggest we install roofing. We do however refer roofing companies that we consider reliable.

Great Stuff

David Snell and staff have worked on our home 3-4 times now. Always excellent service. This time Steve and co-worker removed the aluminum siding, wrapped the second story in Atlas Energy Shield insulation and covered it all with heavy vinyl siding. Those two are craftsmen, we were after more comfort in the home but it looks awesome.
The second floor is noticeably warmer now. And it will take a while to get used to the new look, it's that nice.
Thanks
