Green Thumb is a fairly large garden centre and they also have a nursery so grow many of there own plants. The selection is good and the prices are average but they have very good specials so watch the local papers for their ads.
Cannor nursery has a decent selection of plants but where they really excel is with their pond supplies. The have everything you would need for a pond. From fish, pumps, plants and filters.
Called R and L Roofing to investigate a roof leak. I had to call back several times but finally talked to someone and they came out and inspected my roof. Told me the problem and gave me a quote. Job was completed shortly after.
Sam Anderson has been repairing appliances for many years. He is not the most personable guy but he usually can fix the appliance within in a short time and is reliable on showing up at the time he says.
We built an addition on our house and needed a good drywaller. These guys did a great job and the price was fair. No seams or screw holes visible several years later.
Needed new carpet in a few of the bedrooms and we looked at several stores. Jordans did not have the best price but the quality of the carpet seemed to be better. We will find out in a few years if this is true. Staff helpful also.
We did some renovations by rearranging the layout of the room in the house and need someone to do the drywall. We had several quotes and picked Capital City Drywall based on price and they seemed to know what we wanted. Fast service and we are very happy with the work.
We were redoing the kitchen and needed new counter tops. Originally we thought about the regular laminate type counters tops but decided to go more high end. Matrix had a great selection of granite and marble and the staff very helpful. Price was higher than we would like but the end product looks great.
We needed a custom mirror for above the fireplace mantel and had looked at several places in Nanaimo and Victoria before settling on Dobson's in Duncan. There service was great and the price was also very good.
Marigold is huge with a large selection of plants. The prices are competitive with other nurseries but more than the big box guys. Sign up to their emails and they will send you deals like 30% off certain days. Their prices with theses discounts are great.
End of the Roll had a sale on good laminate. The service was great. We also checked out the charge of the installation from other stores and End of the Roll was by far the best price.
