Happy in Bullock

Interviewed several architects after deciding to do an addition to my modest bungalow (1200 sq ft). My wife and I were extremely pleased that they were able to take our vision and put it on paper and, ultimately, create it it for us. Our house is definitely not typical which is exactly what we wanted and being able to convey a feeling into something very unique and special to us was worth every penny and more. We would highly recommend them for any project. Interestingly enough we have seen them reviewed in the Globe and Mail and the Toronto Star for their great designs in several new home and condo projects!

We did a complete reno on our house and were shopping for elegant windows that offered great service as well as being energy efficient. We could have got vinyl windows for less but they couldn't give us the color we wanted to make our house beautiful. Pella has a great installation system that improves energy efficiency and the look....WOW.

Avoid this company like the plague. He was hired to build an addition to our house and in the beginning things went well. He brought his crew and began digging for the foundations. The problems started when he brought in a 'helper' who projected himself as a foreman. He was onsite all the time and we dealt with him a lot. The person we hired, Robert Sheen, was nice but he failed to take control of the situation and he and his 'foreman' began to fight and argue. The basement was built but as we found out later the floor was no where near level. In the end he demanded money beyond the agreed schedule and we felt that he was not honest. He quit and we hired a forensic auditor to come and look at the house to see what needed to be done and he uncovered thousands of dollars in mistakes we had to fix. No joist hanger had more than 2 nails in it and even those were the wrong nails. The roof was not put on square, we had to add extra footings to support the roof or tear it off and start over...the list is endless. In the end, he was in over his head and tried to cover up his mistakes. We are glad he's gone, if he had 'finished' the job we would have been out more money and perhaps even had our roof collapse on us!

We called Edmunds to come and replace our roof. At the time we found our center staircase layout to be dark so we asked them to install a skylight at the same time. They arrived on time and did a good job replacing all the shingles and installing the skylight. We were so pleased we called them back the next year to replace our windows. I would highly recommend them
