Deck painting

We had been pleased with Harding's interior paint. We went single source to get our deck painted. Subcontracted work. The work was acceptable. We were told the deck needed extra prep hence the price. That prep took half an hour End of the day the onsite time was at $200 per hour. Rod followed up with us and was very pleasant but basically said sorry that is what we charge. We felt the charge was too much for the time spent.

Gord, We are pleased that you are happy with the quality of our work. The price charged is not based on an hourly rate but rather a fair market value on a pre-approved estimate.

Exterior paint and stain

I worked with matt Whiteley and he did a great job, the quote was given to us in a timely manner, the pricing was great and the quality of work was better. I would highly recommend to friends for future work or those looking for their home to be painted.

A Very Positive Experience

Matt from Hardings was knowledgeable and professional when helping us to decide on the options for our main floor, stairs and upstairs landing replacement of oak doors, trim and full repaint project. He listened and provided great ideas, he became a trusted advisor. The doors, trim and drywall was handled by Laszlo who was friendly and did excellent quality work which was matched by the fantastic painting from Jason, we were especially impressed by Jasons’ prep work and attention to deal which culminated in the best painting work we have experienced. What stands out is the way this team focused on all the little things that ultimately made this project a very Positive Experience.

Beautiful job in a hard-to-reach area

I am so pleased with the paint job recently done by Attila and his associate. It was area in a dark hallway, as well as a steep stairwell with an extremely high ceiling - a job that had been staring at me for sometime, ever since we moved into this residence a couple of years ago. I wanted to mount pictures on the lower part, but knew it needed to be painted first.
After putting off tackling the job myself, I finally called Atilla through Harding's Painting, and he came quickly to assess the job, and gave me a quote. He and his painter Jonathan arrived while I was at work, checked in with my husband, and by the time I returned in the late afternoon, the job was beautifully done, and all evidence of the work had been cleaned up, and the furniture and art work returned (where dry). All I had to do was sit back and relax and admire the lovely new colour, ready for a lovely display of my family and travel photos.
I would highly recommend Atilla and his team!

Some good, but left hard-to-fix damage behind

Competent and good service in many ways BUT the person doing the job is still a SUBCONTRACTOR. They had a new subcontractor paint all the wooden windows on my bungalow. It turned out he had no experience with wooden windows in Canadian climate. While HARDING's checked on him and didn't let him off the hook until the job was done to their standards, HARDING's still left me with hard-to-fix damage: 1) HARDING's subcontractor put more paint on the front door than the door could take and still close, the green paint ripped all along the inner edge exposing the previous white coat. I showed it to HARDING's, but they had no issue leaving such a job behind: "we had to put on these coats to cover the white with green color". A guarantee of worksmansip is only as good as the people behind it. 2) The subcontractor planed the sides of my wooden storm windows too much, and as a result they have lost their fit and leak a lot of cold air. Experienced local painters know not to do this. This is disastrous and I would have considered legal action had it been possible to demonstrate that the windows were fitting properly before the HARDING's subcontractor wrecked them. No, I will not hire HARDING's again.

Stucco Paining

I engaged Harding's after obtaining 2 other quotes. They were priced competitively, no surprises there. I chose them primarily due to word of mouth. They have done a number of the houses in my neighborhood, including some stucco paint jobs that were a few years old. That was the deciding factor, the quality of the finish over time.

The process was pretty straightforward, no surprises. Minor issues were re-mediated immediately. The color of the house is exactly what I expected. Very little additional mess to clean up, the crew did a reasonable job of tidying up every day. My wife, who works from home, had no complaints during the process.

All in all, I'm quite satisfied.

Harding Cleaning Service - don't waste your money

Unfortunately, Harding Cleaning Services fall under this. This was the worst residential and commercial cleaning we have ever experienced. We hired Harding Cleaning services based on their boasting of a thorough and meticulous clean. What we got was FAR from that. Our commercial space - the carpets were cleaned around, not under, shelves were not dusted, things I would assume a "professional" company would know to do. The manager seemed to have excuses and not address our concerns, only saying their cleaner had folded the mats, but not lifted. There was considerable dirt and debris when we had looked and we are not professional cleaners. Our residential clean was like they did nothing. First, the said they would send 2 cleaners, 1 showed up almost an hour late after I had to email to ask what was going on. The job they did was clearly rushed and several areas were not cleaned at all. Our front entry way table was not even touched, there was an inch of dust. Our bookcase, same thing. Our water dispenser on the fridge, filthy. Floors were lightly cleaned but still dirty. We have pets, they clearly did not dust in many areas. When I emailed to say no thank you we will not be proceeding with your services, the manager didn't even bother to ask why. Do not waste your money ($45 per hour) on this company, I had to have someone come in a week later to do it again. I emailed the company through their customer feedback with pictures of the clean and received no response about the quality of their work. Consent was given to return to the office space as they had a key. While Air vents may not be included, dusting is and the top of the vent was not dusted at all. The discount offered was because the 2nd cleaner showed up an hour late - email confirmation of this statement. The items not cleaned included, tables, bookshelves, water dispenser on the fridge, bathroom floors (see photos). The manager has a great sales pitch but their quality of work is no where near what they say it is.

Painting Condo

Harding did a great job of painting my condo. On time and on budget. The one coat of paint that they put on makes the condo looked like brand new. Great quality and very professional. Highly recommended.

Regular home cleaning services

Hardings Cleaning has consistently provided outstanding service and results in cleaning my home on a regular basis. The cleaning is very thorough. Harding's has recently added carpet cleaning to their service offerings which is very convenient - being completed at the same time as the home cleaning and the results have been great as well. I highly recommend Judith Virag and her staff.
