New Eaves, Leaf Guard, Downspouts & Soffit
A year ago my wife and I puchased a 100-year old character home in Leslieville. While the interior of the home had undergone significant updating, the exterior of the home required some serious attention. One of the key repairs we needed to make was to the eavestrough which was not sufficient to handle the water coming off the roof (waterfall effect). As a loyal HomeStars user, I scrolled through various providers and found my way to Westwood Aluminum.
Tony quickly answered my call and scheduled a time to come by and see the home. Following his inspection of existing system, Tony confirmed that the eaves were indeed too small to handle the water and suggested the removal and installation of 5" trough and 3" X 3" downspouts. Given the number of massive century-old trees lining the street he also suggested installing Alu-Rex leaf guard to help ensure care-free maintenance. Looking around our house, Tony also offered to install soffit (board and batton sytle) across our porch ceiling to cover up the unsightly popcorn treatment that the previous owners had applied. At no point was Tony trying to sell us additional work; rather he was acting almost as a consultant giving us plenty of options to play with.
When the quote came in it was easy to understand and included the costs with and without various items. Long story short, other home repairs ended up trumping the eaves and we decided to hold off until early 2012. When I reached back out to Tony this spring he honoured everything he had quoted before and even came out to the house to address some of the questions I had. Once everything was squared away, Tony's crew came did the entire job in 2 days. All I can say is what a phenomenal job they did - it's even better than I could have hoped. Westwood Aluminum is doing things right and at a competetive price to match. I will be a lifelong promoter of this company. Well Done!!!!!
