Exterior Paint and Deck Stain

We worked with the Absolute Home Services crew in Toronto to paint the front exterior of our home and stain our wood deck. Charles, who managed the project, came to our home to prepare the quote, which we thought was priced very fairly. We received the quote in the beginning of June, but Charles and his crew weren't able to start until the middle of July. We would have preferred them to come sooner, but there was a backlog of existing projects due to COVID shutdowns so we completely understood the situation and do not blame them for the delay.

Charles contacted us to confirm a start date for the project and he and his crew arrived as scheduled. It wasn't an optimal day for painting because rain was in the forecast, but after a brief shower they were able to start the exterior painting and did a very nice job. His team was very pleasant and they even cleaned the exterior of the eavestroughs so that it looked better against the fresh paint. Due to inclement weather they came back a couple of days later to complete the staining of the deck, which they managed to complete in one day. We are very happy with the end result but were a little disappointed they left without putting back the patio furniture and some other items that were moved. Charles returned to our house later that day to pick up some tools and materials that were left behind and offered to help us put everything back.

Overall, we are very happy with the work done and would recommend Absolute to others and will contact them again for other projects that come up.

Landscaping

Dates were never met MANY times
Emails were delayed in getting responses
Soli was to be added before plants were planted - NOT done
Plants did not arrive on day staff came to do work
Had to email re plants - then only half were planted so had to email AGAIN for the other plants to arrive. Not pleased with location of planting- staff came when I was not available for consultation - had not been informed when they would come and then came on a different date after a date was confirmed second time
Window box that was custom made for shed was to be rehung but it was thrown away!
Asked to have brackets hung to replace the box - took several weeks to get done. Did not come on specified day, came on another day without checking with me and i was online TEACHING so did not hear them at front door. Had to email AGAIN to re-schedule this job
NOT pleased with service. I have used your group before but not sure I will use again

Hi Shelia, I am so sorry for the poor experience you had with your planting job. The communication on the job was obviously extremely poor. We strive to provide excellent service by communicating with our customers throughout the process. Our Project Mangaer was overwhelmed at the time of your project and dropped the ball on this. Please let me know if I can do anything to fix this situation at this point.

Landscaping Work

This was the 2nd occasion that we utilized the Absolute team for some landscaping work. Jason was excellent in assessing and reviewing what we had in mind and assisted in the final decisions for paving stones, retaining wall and plants. Jason was able to slot our work in shortly after finalizing the plan. Jeff and his colleague undertook the work which took about 3 weeks to complete and was done to our total satisfaction. The work crew arrived as advised and always cleaned up before leaving for the day. Everyone was very personable and professional to deal with. We would have no hesitation in recommending Absolute, and will use them again.

Polymeric Sand Driveway

After having several issues with the work, Absolute came back and fixed the job to my satisfaction. They spent hours power washing the driveway, then applying the sand. Hopefully the job will last for many years.

Really disappointed

The service is to treat the bumpy area in my lawn. After the treatment the lawn's condition didn't improve much. I've sent two email within three weeks trying to discuss the situation and see if any follow up suggestions from the owner. Yet the two emails were totally ignored and got no reply by anyone. The service is totally unacceptable.

Hi Sam, I am so sorry to hear that your lawn condition didn't improve. And even more disappointed to hear you didn't get a reply to your emails. I am not sure where you sent the emails, but you can send me an email at liz@absolutehomeservices.ca. I am the owner. I will ensure your lawn is taken care of.

Deck Strip and restrain

Absolute home services employees were a pleasure to work with. They responded in a timely manner, started the job earliest possible and did a thorough job on my deck. I would recommend and use them again for other jobs.

Interior painting and window cleaning

Booked with Absolute and had them paint the first floor, living room/dining room, kitchen, hallway, 2 storey entryway, and 2nd floor hallway, including all trim and doors. They did a great job with 3 guys in one day. Very polite and respectful, especially relating to COVID restrictions wearing masks the whole time. I had them come back and do the exterior windows, and they did the interior window in the entryway as I wasn’t able to do it without an extension ladder. Would definitely recommend Absolute Home Services.
