We purchased a new infill that was still under construction - nearing completion. Although it was a new build, I wanted to get a home inspection done to confirm it was built right from the ground up as a precautionary measure to prevent potential downstream post purchase headaches. I hired Egbert because he was the highest rated inspector on Homestars and he still exceeded my expectations. He's knowledgeable, funny, and most importantly - THOROUGH! We went through the entire property top to bottom and he educated me on how to properly address each deficiency identified along the way and managed to send me an interim report within 12 hrs and a final report within 24 hrs. The report describes each deficiency in great detail including photos, illustrations, and references to external materials (i.e. building codes, manufacturer instructions, etc) to back up his assessment. I will not hesitate to recommend Egbert friends and family and intend to bring him back after 11 months to do another inspection for our 1 year new home warranty. It is money well spent in the grand scheme of things as it's always cheaper to address small issues before the become big problems.

Thanks for the kind and generous review Simon. Glad we could get the inspection into the schedule, sorry for the delay in getting the report done... There's always stuff found during an inspection; doing the 11 month will be interesting to see how things we discovered were addressed! See you in Feb.

There are no surprises here, what the other reviews say are 100% accurate. I'm just another drop in the bucket of satisfied customers and don't have anything to report that others haven't already stated. Jordan and his crew are top notch PROFESSIONALS and I have spoken highly of them to my neighbors, friends, and family. I chose to go with Jordan because he offered the best overall value for product, workmanship, warranty, pricing, and overall customer satisfaction (100% rating from 50+ reviews can't be wrong). He's an honest guy and runs a tight ship from quote to job execution and site clean-up. His crew doesn't mess around either and work hard all day long. They were friendly, courteous, and respectful of our young family and to the neighbors around us. You won't hear any foul language, loud music, or anything other than the soothing sound of nail guns with these guys :) I encourage anyone looking for roof repairs to request a quote from City Boos Roofing. You won't regret it.

This company is top notch and I take every opportunity to recommend them to anyone I know who is thinking about installing hardwood floors. Jose, the owner / operator, is an experienced and professional tradesman and assisted me in every step of the process. I recently purchased a house and decided to install hardwood throughout the main floor. Jose came in to perform a measurement and gave me a very competitive quote. He helped me select my wood from Timbertown and even hooked me up with a discount! His measurement was spot on as I was only left with half a box after the install was complete (no extra boxes = no wasted money). Jose removed baseboards, detached appliances, made his own transitions, and custom stained our stair nosings and flush mount vents to match the wood color we selected. Most importantly, Jose kept me in the loop every step of the way! I was provided with daily updates throughout the entire installation process and was immediately contacted whenever an issue arose (trust me, they happen). Timely communication was key as it meant that I was in complete control over time, cost, and quality every step of the way. Here's a summary of the issues that we overcame under my direction: 1. The flush mount vents we purchased were thicker than our wood. This would cause them to stick out like a sore thumb. Jose took the vents to a mill to grind down to match the thickness of our wood. 2. The contractor that removed the tile in the kitchen left too much subfloor around the kitchen cabinets. Jose grinded down the subfloor enough to run the wood smoothly under the cabinets by 1/2 inch. 3. The floor in the den was not level due to the house shifting / settling. This caused a noticeable hump in the middle of the room. Jose grinded the floor down to eliminate the hump. Bottom line is that my main floor looks amazing and I owe it all to Jose. I got a top notch wood and install at almost half the price that a local flooring design centre quoted me. Do not hesitate to contact this company to do your hardwood floors. You won't regret it!

Thanks Simon for the great review, like I told you from the beginning I strive to leave your house better than the you pictured it in your mind. It's customers like yourself that get us our contracts, if we meet the customers standards in turn they refer us to other potential clients. Thanks once again.
