K and P in Toronto

Igor and his crew started the basement waterproofing on time and completed the work on schedule for the estimated price. They dug a 6' deep trench around the perimeter of the house, including underneath the front porch and back deck without causing any damage to the structures above. Site cleanup was thorough and prompt. For the sewer drain, the work was done in one day. Backflow valve and rough-in for 3 piece bathroom installed. The entire job took one week. Igor was polite and provided a detailed written estimate and invoice.

Boris and his crew were courteous and worked hard replacing my old furnace, water heater and A/C. I am pleased with the Goodman furnace and A/C and Rinnai water heater. All three units are quiet and efficient. Cozy World handled the disposal of my furnace and A/C and returned my rental water heater. Boris also submitted all paperwork for applicable rebates and warranty registrations. They started and finished on time and on budget. The job took two days.

I called Zenic and received a quote over the phone. I required blown-in insulation above the 12'x16' master bedroom (the rest of the roof is flat). When I was ready to have the work done, I called Zenic at noon. His crew had just completed another job nearby. John and Oliver from Zenic arrived 30 minutes later. They were courteous and polite. By 1:30 the job and subsequent clean-up were complete. The room is noticeably warmer.

Original cedar front gable and wood soffit/fascia had paint flaking off and had started to rot beyond repair. Eaves looked shabby, so we decided to replace them as well. I obtained multiple estimates from local roofers who specialize in slate. Jason was friendly and patient when he attended for the estimate. He left slate and aluminum samples with me to consider for various colour options. The estimate from Roofworks was competitive, but not the cheapest. The crew started and finished the job on-time. They worked for about a week and were quite neat and clean throughout the process. The slate looks beautiful and will get even better with age.

As a result of the City of Toronto water meter replacement program, I had to replace the existing 1/2" galvanized water service pipe because the installer refused to perform any work on the existing pipe. I obtained three quotes including Anta. When I called Anta, Susan was very polite and sent Steve the same day. Steve was straightforward and provided a lower price than the other estimates I had already obtained. I made an appointment for the following week. Steve put everything in writing. Plumbers Igor and Marius started the work on-time and were very polite and hard-working. They dug holes in my basement and driveway to replace the water service. They filled the holes after and cleaned up both sites. I upgraded to 3/4" copper to increase water pressure. Igor showed me the 100 year old galvanized pipe he removed. It was so rusted inside there was only a pinhead-size opening for water to get through. The water pressure is incredible now. Igor and Marius also installed a shut-off valve on a pipe to the front exterior faucet and installed a frost-free hot/cold faucet at the back of the house (year round warm water for washing the dog and car). I would recommend any homeowner with 1/2" water service upgrade to 3/4" and I would recommend Anta to do the work. The only unforeseen side issue is that my old hot water tank now runs out of hot water quickly. AWESOME WATER PRESSURE! Next project: tankless water heater!
