We really liked Josh's work & professionalism from the first time we used him to build our fence so we asked him back to do a cedar deck in our backyard. His craftsmanship and personal touches really make the final deck a piece of art. His quote was very competitive and there were no surprises. Best part was that he was so quick! We are really looking forward to our first BBQ to show off the new digs. Thanks again, Josh!

I'm glad that you guys are happy with the deck Clayton. Hopefully the weather gets better soon so you can fire-up that BBQ.

We needed a fence in our backyard to give us some privacy and ended up calling Harbord Valley. Josh suggested we do cedar because its environmentally friendly (pressure treated wood leaches chemicals into the ground) and we were concerned about our vegetable garden becoming contaminated by the PT wood. We also really enjoyed the smell of the fence for the first couple of years, but unfortunately that goes away with age. The fence is still holding up well after 3 yrs and lots of snow piled up against it. The only regret we have is NOT fully listening to Josh on the fence design. He suggested a modern horizontal look but we played it safe with a more conservative style. Now after seeing his other cool fence designs, I wish we had gone with one of his interesting 'outside of the box' design ideas. Overall, Harbord Valley was very reasonable in price and were also super quick once the job started. Josh was very knowledgeable and a friendly guy as well. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend their work to any of my friends or family.

Thanks for the positive feedback. Yes that great cedar smell goes away after a while. If you want we could change the boards to a horizontal style sometime down the road using the existing structure. It wouldn't cost too much and give you something more modern.

We highly recommend Solutions Electrical for their professionalism, speed, attention to safety & detail, as well as their great customer service. I would not hesitate to call them again for any future electrical needs. We recently purchased a 90 yr old home with 90% outdated wiring (mostly knob & tube). Their quote was very reasonable and competitive compared to the other companies. When the crew showed up to work, they worked very quickly and efficiently. They also did a great job of cleaning up after themselves, and accommodating most of our strange requests relating to the age & details of our old home. Besides their great knowledge & experience of re-wiring, we really enjoyed the personality of all of the electricians that were involved in the job. Thanks again guys!

Any advice to offer fellow homeowners facing a similar project?
Make sure to plan your electrical plan before you have the job quoted. Include all extra things like your coax-cable, telephone, satellite, and network cable in the plan. Also make sure to arrange someone to hook your exhaust fans (bathroom/kitchen/etc) up to the outside via ductwork & vents.
