My pump quit after 9 years of service. I did check out another pond supplies outlet in Hamilton, and they quoted me $300 dollars for a replacement pump. Problem with that is the new pump would be even more powerful than the one I have and I would have to deal with an overflow issue. The solution would of entailed more plumbing to regulate the flow. Called Harpers, the same pump was $350, and they could not match the price of the other outlet, but, they offered a probable repair solution to my old one. Took my pump down to their pond centre and Darcy went to work on my pump. She was amazing. She spent over 45 minutes with me and managed to match up my worn out and broken impeller with a new unit. She installed the new one and tested it right there. Pump has been running issue free for a month now, and total cost was only 75 dollars. Now that was great customer service !

I had a Blue Spruce growing in the rear yard, it was right up against the house and was about 25 feet high. Also had a Norway Maple in the rear yard which was also 25 feet high. Kodiak was the third company I asked for a quote. They gave me a quote that was the same as a company that did not have insurance, and was a bit less than the other company that appraised the job. I saw the good reviews that Kodiak had received so I hired them. They came the next day. Took out the trees with just a two man crew. Most of the debris went into a massive chipper and the best of the maple I kept for firewood. And the firewood was mostly cut straight for easy spitting, a real bonus. Good cleanup on their part. If I was an extreme nit picker I would say there was a wee bit of small pieces of bark and a few seed cones from the Spruce on the ground, really amazing actually when you see the mess before and after. Crew was efficient and professional I would use them again.

Best price of three quotes, 200 and 450 less than the others. The house was built in 1956 and is a one story bungalow. It had been topped up many years ago to roughly R20 through the old "CHIP" program. After doing some research on comfort/cost comparisons I settled on a R50 upgrade. Wojtek came out and appraised the job and when he gave me the price I contracted him right there. Btw, his company was recommended to me by my son, who had just had his house redone. His was a major job and Wojtek was a couple of thousand less then other quotes ! So the boys came out, replaced my bathroom exhaust vent with an insulated one, installed baffles around the entire attic. They insulated my attic access panel and put a gasket for an air seal on it, and a new dam to keep the insulation from blowing onto the panel. There were three workers that day, they were all very courteous and efficient at their job. They took off their shoes, put down protective cloths on the floor and did a great job of cleaning up. And they gave me the option of paying by cheque, visa or debit. Great crew, great price, professionally completed job. 10/10 and I do not hesitate to recommend them.
