We wanted an aquarium for our family room and CM Aquarium was recommended to us. Chuck came out after ascertaining our needs and spent 3 or 4 hours carefully setting up and designing a beautiful, soothing setting with plants, etc. He came back another day with the selection of fish after the water had a chance to reach proper temp and filtration. We had only one loss of a fish early on but he was out with a replacement within days of our call - no extra charge. We had the aquarium for many successful years. Very knowledgeable, friendly, focused on the set-up and design. He has 25 yrs experience. At $70.00/hr it was well worth the price!!!

I would be very hesitant before hiring Paintco. In 2004 on the recommendation of our interior decorator they painted for us. Paint job on ceilings started peeling and we will need to have layer of drywall installed over ceiling in order to solve problem. Have had Benjamin Moore paint manufacturer as well as other painters in and nobody can understand except that it is not a problem with the ceiling itself but with this layer of paint. Also can see roller marks on walls where roller must have been dirty. A job that has and will continue to cost us much more grief than anything.

We had Kathy come back in to finish off some areas we had not been able to address before due to financial constraints. She picked a paint colour and wallpaper for our bedroom which had been dull, dull, dull! Now it is serene and peaceful. She picked out a wonderful window shade that can be put up or down (in other words, we can see out over top but others cannot see in) along with a lovely side drape & rod. Finally got those stairs carpeted with a beautiful runner. Thanks, Kathy!

Kathy Quinn is a miracle worker! It has been a real pleasure to work with her for the last year and a half. I had called Kathy as well as a couple of other decorators in for a consult. I showed each the house and tried to give them a feeling for the mood I wanted to create. Kathy won hands down because as soon as she heard that we did not want to paint all the natural wood trim, she went with that. The other decorators were all very insistent that the first thing we needed to do was paint out all the wood. I gave her a "wish list" with a fairly open time-line. She kept checking back to the list and we got almost everything accomplished and checked off. We still have about 3 items to deal with as finances allow. Kathy would bring in a selection of about 4-6 fabrics for any job we were working on and while all were good possibilities I was always able to pick one. Her idea for the fabric in the living room and dining room window treatments was a surprise but it really works! I never would have thought of it but she did and I'm delighted. Kathy is great to work with - always cheerful, optimistic and full of wonderful ideas. I would highly recommend her to anyone wanting to give some life to their home or finish things off. She is creative, efficient, technically knowledgeable and a great person!
