White Shark Window Cleaning

White Shark was top of mind when we needed to repaint the exterior back of our house. We had previously had a great experience a number of years ago. They did not disappoint - the price quoted was very reasonable and all interactions and communications were extremely professional. They estimated being able to fit us in mid July that's when they called to let us know they were ready to begin and schedule our job. Eno who came to do the painting was extremely efficient, thorough and a pleasure to work with. I highly recommend White Shark if you are looking for exterior painters.

Can't say enough about how great they are. Reliable, very nice, reasonably priced. We had front door, garage door, backyard fence and deck painted. Great job. Highly recommend White Shark. Would definitely use them again.

I've had White Shark for years do evestrough plus window cleaning, as well as indoor and outdoor painting.

Good job, always. The staff is professional, and their boss Roger, a pleasure to deal with.

I recently had the siding and soffits cleaned at my bungalow.
They did a really good job and the siding looks much better
now. They are a very professional company and pleasant
to deal with.

We just had White Shark (Extra Mile Painting is the name of their painting branch) paint the exterior of our home and we are thrilled! We had a big job for them- soffits, fascia, windows, porch, front door of our 3 storey house- and not only were they the most reasonably priced of all the estimates we got, but they did a top-notch job. Joel, Tony and Mark were a pleasure to work with. They were punctual, professional, flexible (I switched my paint colour last minute!) and experienced. Highly recommend them!

Joel and team from White Shark did some interior and exterior painting for me this week. They did a great job, were very efficient, respectful of the property and did their best not to disturb me as I work from home. At all times they very keen to ensure I was happy with the work and adjusted if necessary.

We've hired White Shark to clean our eavestroughs for the past three years, and every time they've been weeks or even months late in getting the job done. They send out emails telling you that bad weather is preventing them from doing the work, but when the weather improves, they still don't come. They think nothing of keeping a job that was booked for November waiting till springtime--or, this year, midsummer. This year the excuse was first bad weather (a hard freeze in late November--who could have guessed that might happen?) and then the shutdown. We were sympathetic about that at first, until we discovered how easy it was to hire someone to prune back some tree branches that were rubbing against our roof. The companies we talked to for that job said that yes, if the work was necessary to maintaining the integrity of our house, they could come, and yes, they could observe Covid protocols so that both our family and their workers would be safe. Since overflowing eavestroughs can certainly cause damage to the interior of a house--we've had it happen--why couldn't White Shark have sent someone to do the job as soon as the snow melted? Probably for the same reason they didn't do it when the weather warmed up for a while in December--they don't care enough about their customers to hire enough workers to meet their commitments in anything like a timely way. (Please don't tell me they can't find enough people when the weather or a world health emergency creates a backlog of jobs. Cleaning eavestroughs isn't highly skilled labour. And by the time we were a couple of months into the shutdown, there were a lot of people looking for work.)

I have had an exceptional experience with this company! From the customer service to the final results! I will continue to use White Shark Ltd and recommend to friends and family. They provide a efficient and consistent service time after time and they never disappoint! Great job

It is rare that I write reviews but in this case I truly want to.

The White Shark team that painted the exterior of our house was professional, polite and extremely efficient. Even one of our neighbours commented on how polite they were to her. Their attention to detail was top notch. We have a three story house and they were done in two days.

I will now have them back on an annual basis for window and eavestrough cleaning and would recommend their painting team without hesitant.

After years of being ripped off for eaves maintenance, window-cleaning, small jobs, and the like, a wonderful real estate agent recommended White Shark to me. What a godsend! I have widened my use of their services to include yard and garden maintenance with the hard-working Jackie, and then took the leap of refreshing the exterior of the house.

I was not very optimistic about resuscitating its appearance. Previously, carpenters had said that whether the organic cedar, or the pressure treated lumber, it was undesirable to "paint" these because it would only need to be redone. They opined that silvering was desirable. But their advice led to wear and a shabby appearance that was unacceptable to me.

Roger explained that pressure-treatment of lumber is there to assure straightness of the timbres in transportation of the product, but that a year after installation, it is suitable for clear or opaque staining that gives the impression of painting. Even if damaged or weathered, it was possible to scrape and clean the surface before application. I was pleased that Kevin and Jason took care to tape off the railing where black metal spools met the wooden handrail. They checked back with me on the results of clear-staining the weathered deck. And, they were super patient with me when I changed my mind on colour (yes, true). I've been receiving compliments from my neighbours since the job completion.

Sometimes, clients who do not have "maker" experience themselves often have unrealistic expectations in terms of preparation and timeline. On the other side of the bargain, sometimes makers hide valuable information from the client. In my estimation, the best contract is a collaboration. I strive to find makers who are invested in my education by answering questions such that I can make good decisions for the property. In addition to that and a strong work ethic, I also value communication and good manners. (I appreciated that the team knocked on the door to alert me to the start of their work day.)

While I sometimes have difficulties using the dashboard, the office staff always cheerfully resolves matters on the phone. All bookings and payments are completed in a satisfactory manner.

For these reasons, I recommend White Shark to friends and colleagues.
