Filled out homestars’ questionnaire to get quote for double bathroom renovations and Yi was one of the respondents. After meeting with all 3 contractors, we selected Yi. He provided a contract outlining what is included in the work we wanted, what he will provide and how long it will take. Yi and his crew were professionals and respected our home. They cleaned up every day before leaving. Yi made sure to consult with us for anything that required our input to ensure they did things to our liking and specifications and he provided sound advice as well. They finished the job early and we stayed within our budget. The finished bathrooms looked great and exactly how we envisioned them. Yi and his crew is highly recommended by us!

Lights in 3 rooms lost power last month. I used Homestars to get quotes to fix the problem and Kaum was the first one to call me offering his services immediately. After going through about 7 different quotes, I decided to go with Trini Electric and they arrived the next day. They went through the lights and power in each room and was able to find and fix the problem in about an hour's time. I'm satisfied with the work done and would use them again if the need ever arises.

Shower cartridge broke and I had a hard time removing it so called 3 plumbers from home stars and mr rooter was able to send one same night. Ron was the plumber and looked at the problem. I was quoted over $450 to remove the shower cartridge!!! Wow, I told him that's ridiculous. He then lower d the quote to $330 but I told him that's still too much for a simple job. There's nothing else he could do with the price so I reluctantly went with it because I had to shut the main water line to the house to stop the water flow in the shower. It took him 1 minute to remove the cartridge and I told him theres no way this should cost $340! I guess he agreed as he lowered the price down to $275. I still think it's way too over priced but I just wanted it over and done with since it was getting late. Yes he fixed my problem but I feel completely gouged. Don't think I'd call them back in the future. Response: As I stated, he did the job but the 1 minute it took him to remove the cartridge shouldn't cost $275 (and I even provided the replacement cartridge). I think most, if not all, clients would agree with me on the pricing.

Had about 3 quotes to replace my worn out roof and decided to go with Unique for the price and a referral. They took about 7 hrs to complete the job, were on time and cleaned up as expected. I'm pleased with the new roof from what I can see. This will be the second winter since installation and have yet to see any issues so far.

After getting multiple quotes, decided to hire Majesticon this past summer to replace several 15 yr old windows. I'd say everything went well from the product quality to the installation. The only issue we experienced was not even their fault. So far so good. I'll do an update next year once the windows go through this winter to see how they hold up.

After getting quotes from 4 different companies, we decided to go with Three Towers to supply all the hardwood for our house. Their cost was the lowest for the same quality the others were offering. They told us that each box contains about 18 sq/ft of hardwood but they usually include more up to 20 sq/ft. Well, when the boxes arrived and our contractor began installation, he found out that we are short about 2-3 boxes! We did a calculation of the total sq/ft we ordered against how many boxes we received and turns out it was around 16 sq.ft per box! The salesman shortchanged us! I called him out and he didn't deny it (this is probably standard practice to them hoping the customers doesn't find out they're shortchanged like we did). He agreed to get me the outstanding boxes but this caused unnecessary delay with out plans. In the end, their prices was good, the quality was good, their business practice is completely unethical and unacceptable! Note: In response to the Company's response, he did not visit me at my home, never shook my had no did he apologize. The last I saw him was at their location when I went to pick up the outstanding boxes owed. As a result of his false account, I'm lowering the rating from 2 to 0 stars.

About 1.5 yrs ago, one of the springs in our garage broke. Called a couple of places for a quote and availability and Dormaster had the lowest quote (not by much) and was able to come in less than an hour so they got the job. The repair guy replaced the spring without problems, however, the upsell is almost unavoidable with these types of calls so I was pitched. He did go through and explain which parts should be replaced and why. The rollers were rusty and I agreed to have the set replaced. Overall, the service call was good, no complaints really.

Furnace igniter broke in the middle of winter so had to scramble to get someone in on a Sunday. Called a couple of places and Service Experts was able to find someone to come in on the same day! The guy came in, checked the furnace, determined the igniter problem and had it replaced. The part costs $20 but the entire service bumped it to around $300. Don't mind it since they were able to fix it especially with a newborn in the house.

We decided to go with CCW after getting 3 quotes to replace our large living room window. The replacement window was a tad smaller than the original but they still managed to fit and seal. Wasn't too happy about that and also realized afterwards that the new window didn't have a jamb to attach our blinds to. They knew that the original windows had them. They did send someone to install it and gave us a discount on the cost of the new blinds since our old one doesn't fit anymore due to the smaller size window.

Hired these guys from a referral and had the lowest quote out of 3 contractors. Started off good but as the job begin to drag so did the quality of the job. They left a mess afterwards. Wouldn't recommend at all!

Called Zenic after reading reviews here. Need to add insulation in the attic since the builders only put in 4"! He was very thorough in answering my questions. Arrived on time and did the job within 1.5 hrs. Now attic has 14"!
