Shona in The Junction

My husband and I used the Baker Street Home Inspection Services for our first home purchase and really enjoyed the time we spent with Jeff. He was very patient and answered all of our questions. He spend time on each problem area of our home and made suggestions on how to deal with each area. We spent two hours going over the house, which is only 1500 square feet, and then another hour in a coffee shop while Jeff wrote up the report. We learned a lot about our home and have a good idea of what might go wrong in the next couple of years. We also have a list of what we need to fix right away, and I am certain I will reference the Home Inspection binder whenever we do any work on the house. What I really appreciated about Jeff was that he had some excellent suggestions on how to reorganize the kitchen cabinetry to make the kitchen more functional, and he suggested we get the ducts cleaned and the main drain line scoped as the house had been in renovations for a year.

After reading the reviews for Dial One, I called and made an appointment to have my newly purchased home's ducts cleaned. The house had been in renovations for a year and was pretty dusty on the inside, so I can only imagine what the ducts looked like. Joe, the owner, made an appointment for me, and Josh and Will arrived to do the work. They got to work immediately; connected the hose to the furnace, covered all the registers and started the cleaning. Will cleaned all the registers while Josh cleaned the furnace. They installed a new filter in the furnace for me and also sprayed the disinfecting solution through the system. I have to say it was the best $225 I have spent on my home, and I heartily recommend Dial One for the service.

I called Drainworks after reading the other reviews. My husband and I have just bought a home in the Junction area, and the home has been in renovations for about a year. Our home inspector recommended we get our sewer scoped to make sure that the renos didn't clog our main drain, and that the tree in the front yard wasn't growing into our pipes. I called Drainworks and made an appointment. They don't quote over the phone, they arrive and see what's what and give you a quote, and then you have a choice to go ahead with the work. Armando from Drainworks suggested we scope the drain to see what was happening. We watched the scope and he explained what we were looking at. After checking it out and discussing his findings with my husband and me, he made some suggestions for work on the main drain to make sure that we don't have plumbing problems in the future. He wrote up a quote for the work and was very helpful in answering all our questions. All in all the experience was very comfortable, and I really enjoyed watching the scope. We will be calling them again.
