So glad I found Prestige Home Inspection here on HomeStars! After closing on a brand new home in February, I found a lot of cosmetic deficiencies present in all areas of the home. It left me wondering, what other things did I miss? I arranged a home inspection with Tyler for my 30-day warranty claim, and I can't stress how important and valuable his findings were! Items like a cracked joist in the basement, mold present on basement ceilings, misaligned ductwork, missing insulation in the attic, etc. These were things that would have gone unnoticed for who knows? Tyler performed an infrared inspection of the whole home after the inspection, and that alone is peace of mind! He prepared a full inspection report inclusive of photos and a summary of findings in a timely manner. It has been instrumental in helping me prepare my 30-day warranty form. Tyler is a leader in the industry, and he is very thorough. I'll be contacting him again as the need arises. If you are on the fence on hiring a professional home inspector, don't hesitate to give Tyler a call!

Phil and his team are professional, honest, and take pride in their work. I called Phil after moving into a brand new end townhome after the 100+ km/h winds we recently experienced. To my horror, some of the shingles were ripped right off my roof and the bare wood was exposed in one area. In other area, the shingles had noticeably lifted. This is completely unacceptable for a brand new home. After my failed attempts to get the builder to take care of the issue before the rains came (and risk water damage), I called Phil for some advice. He came that same day and inspected the roof. Because of the high risk of water damage (rain in the forecast the next day), his team came by the following morning, and to my surprise, the builder sent someone up to perform patchwork already. Needless to say, the roofers who performed the patchwork did an absolute horrid job (broken/cracked shingles were nailed to the roof). Phil's team highlighted all the deficiencies present, made sure everything was sound, and snapped some photos for me. Because of them, I now have evidence to use for making a claim against the builder. This experience opened my eyes to the kind of shabby work performed by builders. What happened to doing a job right the first time?! I won't hesitate to call Phil and his team back for future roof work.

Where do I start?! I recently closed on an end townhome in Paris, Ontario, and I was looking to have blinds or shutters installed. In looking for a reputable company, I noticed DC Shutters here on Homestars. I received a call from Allan that same day, and we scheduled an appointment (he was coming from Toronto, so I was surprised he serviced my area). We chose beautiful zebra blinds for my large patio door, and selected 2" wood blinds for the windows (I have over 20!). Allan worked with my budget and went over the best options for my new home. He is really passionate about what he does, and his work speaks for itself! I was completely blown away how quickly the custom blinds were ready for installation and how quickly he and his associate were with the install. Allan does not fool around! Overall, if you are in the market for blinds/shutters and you are looking for someone with a high degree of professionalism and honesty to assist you, look no further than DC Shutters! Homestars has served me well in terms of getting quality work done, and Allan is a testament to that! Cheers!
