Attic Insulation

Neil came to see us about a problem we had with poor insulation in our attic. He did a full inspection in the attic then explained what he proposed to do to fix the problem and gave us a quote. We agreed and he showed up on time and got the job done. Very detailed and very concerned to make sure we knew what he had fixed. The final bill was less than the quote and we think the service was excellent. Recommending Neil and GnH to our neighbours.

Upgrade attic insulation

After receiving several quotes to upgrade the insulation in our two unit duplex (a difficult job due to the pitch of the roof). A careful review of the quotes and follow up conversations with Neil we decided to go forward with Guns n Hoses, and are very very pleased with the professionalism and quality of work as well as follow up. A positive experience I would highly recommend Guns n Houses to anyone wanting the job done right!

House Re-insulated and Vented

We called Guns N Hoses when we were noticing an abnormal amount of humidity in a bedroom beside our pool. Neil was over that day to look at our attic, he had the fans brought in and the humidity under control in short order. It was determined that when we had our new cedar shake roof put on 7 years ago the roofer (not Guns N Hoses) covered over all of the vents in our pool roof. Neil arrives when he says he will, he is clear and concise about what he is doing. A true professional, we highly recommend.him and will happily refer him.

Thank you Cory and Dwayne for your review. Adequate Ventilation in your attic space plays a crucial role in protecting your home, the expanded GNH services in to insulation and thermal imaging also allowed us to have additional tools to help deal with the problem effectively then prevent any future problems. The poor insulation R values in your attic created additional humidity in your attic.

Very pleasant and professional employees. The roof looks excellant. The clean up was also very good and they had no issues coming to finish the clean up when the snow melted.

Thanks for taking the time to submit this review Cathy, and for mentioning the clean up. Winter installs can be tricky with snow on the ground for clean ups sometimes, but we do try to keep it as clean as possible, and we will always come back once the snow has melted to clean up again so our clients have 100% job site satisfaction!

Wow. That's all I can say.

Had to get significant work done. Roof, soffit, insulation etc. Like a depressing amount of work. Every person I met through he entire process was knowledgable, friendly and easy to engage with. This was a big job that I could have perhaps got done cheaper, but after understanding all the extra " above code " things they do, it was worth any extra cost. Just awesome all around. I'd use these guys again in a second. Neil, Keith and the gang are top notch people.

Garage Insulation, Walls, and Clean Up

Since I'm a senior, the first time I heard the name "Guns N Hoses" I admittedly imagined a pistol-packing gang, but since they were referred by a company I highly respected, I decided to give them a try. After all, the other company would never have recommended them if they weren't good.

My first call was with regard to a leaking bathroom fan that dripped for 15 years when the weather was icy cold. It never dripped any other time -- only when the weather was below 15 degrees Centigrade.

I had already spent well over a thousand dollars on repairs from other companies over the years, to no avail. Each time I listened to Shell Busey on the radio it seemed people were calling in with the same problem for which there never seemed to be any "one solution solves all" answer.

Well, Guns N Hoses finally solved it on the first call. By then the ceilings in 2 bathrooms were both distorted and discoloured. No longer do I have to endure water torture on my neck on a freezing
cold day as I go about my business.

Since they did such a good job, I called again some months later regarding garage insulation that was starting to fall out of the garage. There were no walls to cover it and the poly wasn't installed properly either.

Like many seniors, things were starting to accumulate and I could see that I was losing control. Dozens of things were starting to pile up (which were actually pieces of junk of the sort our parents
taught us to save after they survived the last world war). Those who took their advice usually ended up with what looked like war devastation in itself, and many ended up hoarding.

Although I didn't mention the mess, Neil certainly noticed it but politely didn't comment. Instead, he offered to not just insulate my garage but also to clean up the entire place, and gave me a quote on the whole deal. Believe me, it was no small feat! The junk was up to the ceiling on both sides of the car.

It was bitterly cold on arrival yet the Guns N Hoses Company worked non stop. It took more than 2 days to not just insulate the place and put up walls, and a closed insulated ceiling, but also to clean up. Not only that, but they also installed shelves they suggested that either I buy, or they would pick up for me.

They even hauled all that junk away! In fact, they went so much above their call of duty that I was speechless, and to boot the price was reasonable as well.

Plain and simply, this company can't be beat. They're not just professional, but also very personable and caring. I can't rate them high enough so if you ever need help with your insulation, roofing, siding, fascia, eavestroughs, be sure to try them. Who knows, you might get lucky and they may help you with things like this too.

This is the best company I ever dealt with (and yes, I hired dozens over the years).

Pricey, but good work

I was very satisfied with the knowledge of the owner and his crew. They took care to measure everything and make sure the whole project was level before making any huge cuts or changes. The work was done several months ago and it seems to be holding up very well.

Thank you for taking the time to write a review. I assume you are referring to a gutter job? We offer great workmanship warranties on all of our work so you have peace of mind when hiring Guns N Hoses.

INSULATION REINFORCED

I have an older home and wanted to see if more insulation could improve the warmth. Neil and crew were honest, friendly and well equipped to provide a solution. From the initial estimate to completion of work Guns and Hoses proved to be knowledgeable and reliable. Upon completion of the work they also advise they would be checking in to ensure my satisfaction. I would definitely recommend and use in future.

Neil is part of the GNH family therefore he is invested in getting the job "DONE RIGHT" so sometimes a follow up call is required. Once again thank you for the business and have an extra warm holiday season.

Attic insulation

I had my roof reshingled by Guns N Hoses 5 years ago and they did a great job, so I looked to them for topping up my 1959 insulation to code. Neil made a thorough pre-quote inspection, took time to answer all of my questions, ensured my attic would have adequate air flow, as well as air-sealed the ceiling. He also replaced my hatch at my request for no extra charge. He would not accept payment until I visually inspected the work, which required an extra visit. I am confident the work was well done.

Insulation

They showed up at the time that was committed to me.
They explained what they were going to do and answered my questions before getting started.
Half way through they suggested that I take a look at the progress before continuing.
They made sure that all of the surfaces that were being walked on throughout the house were covered.
They cleaned up properly.
The price was as quoted.
I was pleased with the result and would definitely recommend them.
Thank you Neil!
