9/10

There were some initial disappointments with the work as the magnetic sweep did not happen and the photographs were not provided. I cleaned up the left out debris. After having the roof now for 4 years, I am happy to report that I am pleased with how the actual installation work has turned out and held up.

Hello Gurjit, we apologize for this lack of communication regarding the magnetic sweep and dormer issue. We have passed this along to our service department and they should be contacting you shortly. Thank you for bringing this to our attention.

I laid 10,000 sq foot of new sod last year. After going through an extensive research into various makes and models of sprinkler systems, I finally decided to put a sprinkler system as manual watering was getting a bit too much. Initially I was planning to install the system myself as some of the quotes that I got early on were a bit too much. I was fortunate to get one from Nino and his quote was not the lowest but since I had done a high level analysis of the cost of material involved, and given the number of stations, Nino’s quote was the best after I worked in a reasonable labour and a premium that I was willing to pay to someone who had done it before. Nino and team exceeded all my expectations. The work was done to my expectations and everything was explained to my satisfaction. I am very pleased the way it turned out and now I have a great watering system for which I did not have to break the bank. Given my experience thus far, I intend to stick with Nino for my annual fall closeout and spring start-up of my system. I highly recommend RGI and Nino for your sprinkler services.

After completing some major renovations to the house I was planning for landscaping work for the 2012 spring. I had to get the 30 year old driveway and crumbling concrete patio resurfaced before I could re-sod my lawn. I was starting ahead so as to line up a good contractor to begin work as soon as the weather permitted in the spring so that I had enough time to put the grass next year. Given the size of the driveway and extended walkways with several steps and large patio areas on the back of the house, I was initially planning to get the driveway resurfaced with asphalt and interlock for the rest of the area. I obtained a number of quotes from several companies that are favorably rated on Home-stars and Duralock was one of them. For me to figure out what resurfacing would be most cost effective for different areas I had asked each of the companies to give me quotes such that I could pick and choose the area that I could get done within my budget and defer the rest for later years or even consider cheaper alternative for the driveway. I was in for a surprise when Duralock gave me a very competitive quote for the entire work that too with a promise to complete the work this year. I went around to a number of houses they had worked on and even talked to the owners to find out how their project was handled. I am completely satisfied with the work Duralock has done. It is the attention to details, and most importantly the attention that they pay to prepare the base that makes all the difference. When it comes to interlock the time and effort that is put in laying a sound base is all that matters. This is one item that no one sees. Most just see the surface work and the beauty of the surface is half the pavers and half the skill. Tony was very professional and courteous in the initial design and pricing. Given the size of the project, there were items that were verbally discussed. At no stage did we find any one reneging from what was agreed to and therefore all the elements that were discussed and then some were delivered in the most professional manner. Johny and his crew did an amazing job. The entire crew was very polite and courteous. Their patience was beyond expectation especially when we would have them redo some of the curves and alter design on the go. I believe it was a mutually rewarding experience. Duralock had the manpower and the skills to materialize our grand vision. Not only was there no scope creep but they ended up delivering more than what they had promised to ensure that the overall quality was top notch. I have no hesitation in recommending Duralock and am open to share my experience with anyone who would like to see it for themselves. In the end, I believe it is a partnership between the contractor and the homeowner that leads to successful projects. The sooner one can establish a mutual trust the better the outcome. Duralock has all the abilities and the right attitude to establish such a partnership.

The work that Chris and his tem did was exceptional. I was pleasantly surprised with the attention to detail and never imagined that caulking could be done in such an artful and professional manner. Chris truly loves what he does and takes the time to do it right. We are completely satisfied with the entire process, from quoting to the completion of the project. If I have to redo the caulking in the future, then Chris is my contractor of choice. Too bad they dont do the interiors, I did however have Chris do me a favor and caulk the main door threshold from the inside. Out goes the ugly trim that was hiding a wide opening and it now looks amazing with a perfect caulk bead that Chris took only minutes to carve. Keep the good work going and we will keep cheering for you.

We engaged Ambia Windows and Doors Inc to replace all windows on the top floor and the basement, two large bay windows on the main floor, the patio door in the basement and the main front door. Tony was very easy to work with and at no stage pushed us to commit to a sale. I had obtained 2 additional competitive quotes to ensure I am getting a good price. The total project was executed in 3 parts and at every stage we were very satisfied with the entire process starting from quote to installation. Frank and the rest of the install crew were very friendly and courteous. I feel no hesitation in recommending Ambia and would use their services for replacing my Garage Doors as well. At every stage of the project they were in the ball park for the price and exceptional in their installation.
