Mold and asbestos removal - an amazing experience from first call to finish!

An independent home inspection professional recommended Canada's Restoration Services when readings in the home we were moving into indicated mold. He said that "I do not know them or work with them, but I have seen and tested the work they do, and it is always great."

I spoke to Laura on the phone the next day. She was patient and helpful, and promised that Alex, the Operations Supervisor for GTA would come to inspect. Alex is one of those professionals who knows his trade inside out, can answer any questions you may have, and is not trying to push extra work where you could do the job yourself. He is also thorough enough to notice details that you may have missed. And it turned out we missed what looked like asbestos tiles.... I received a quote from Alex as soon as the lab confirmed the asbestos, and he confirmed that they had a crew that could start the work within two days.

I have worked on several home renovations, and I was so impressed by this point that, unlike my usual practice, I did not even get other quotes for the job.

The technicians arrived early to accommodate my schedule, worked efficiently, and left the job site clean. Alex was involved the whole time, visiting the site, and was willing to answer any and all questions even after the job was done.

I would recommend Canada's Restoration Service without hesitation -- they have gone out of their way to create a safe environment for my family.

Mold Removal

Laura from Canadian Restoration Services quickly contacted a team member in Montreal. I had an estimate within the day and the team was able to remove the discoloration the very next day. The team was professional and efficient. They gave me peace of mind by taking pictures and showing what steps they were taking. Would definitely recommend this company! Very satisfied with service.

Asbestos Lock Down & Armour Guard

Jon Tarves (AB Regional Manager) & Jorge Gonzalez ( General Manager) came to KARA to do an estimate. Both were pleasant and explained the process very clear. The technicians were very professional, called to let us know they were on their way. When the job was completed, they gave us a walk through and left no mess behind. By the way they communicated, you could tell the 4 technicians worked as a team- getting the job done right and efficiently.
Job Well Done ~ Thank you

asbestos removal from ducting

Our ducts were wrapped at all the joints with asbestos tape and needed to be remediated, we were put in touch with Jorge who came to do an inspection just the next day, he took the time to answer all our questions and explain all our options - it was a bit of information overload but he did an amazing job of following up with email and a phone call afterward. He seemed super knowledgable and happy to make sure we understood what was happening - not just for the ducts but also for how to go about any future renovations in an asbestos safe way. The technicians were great: also super knowledgable and friendly and i could tell they took the time to be careful and thorough and answer even more of my questions. With a few more joints found Jorge still honoured his initial quote even though he'd already given us a holiday discount.

Mold removal

Purchased our first home, got possession and found mold in the basement and significant water issues that were undisclosed during the purchase. Jorge came out to do a quote, he was very friendly, professional and honest with us. You could tell he was very well informed and had alot of experience in restoration. It was xmas time and he had a crew out asap to get the mold out, which was very appreciated as we have a small child. The crew was great, they took great care in my home. They worked fast and stayed within their quote which was awesome. Would definitely recommend!

Mold Remidiation - Shower

I called Canada Restoration Services on a Sunday and Jon was the first to call me back, he was both thorough and knowledgeable. Later in the day Jorge took over the call and was out at my house the next day to look at the issue. Within the next few days, Jorge and team had taken care of the mold issue and were helping to identify a root cause.
The team was very professional both in attitude and performance, so very refreshing - Awesome service - We would recommend CRS to anyone.

Construction of Tile Floor

Canada's Restoration Services was hired to install a new subfloor, tile materials such as scratch coat and wire mesh and brand new expensive floor tiles. The construction team for Canada's Restoration Services did not show up for several days after the intended start date. Poor communication, poor workmanship, poor decision making process, floor vents moved without prior authorization, left old dishwasher pipe in the floor and tiled up to valve and left it inoperable. Tile floor ended up being uneven and grout cracked within days. Canada's Restoration Services verbally promised to redo job completely and free. i agreed to this however, after more than a week after this promise Canada's Restoration Services then said that I would have to pay for parts and labour again and would have to use the same job supervisor that created the problems the first time. This was the resolution of Canada's Restoration Services construction department. Their customer service was called about this and said the decision making was in the hands of the construction department and I received no further call backs. I have asked Canada's Restoration Services to pay back the money for the labour that they admitted was not done properly and I have not heard back in months. I went to Canada's Restoration Services originally based on Home Stars reviews and the big name companies that show up on Canada's Restoration Services website. I wonder if those big name companies read these reviews.

Our company was hired to remove the asbestos tiles together with the sub floor that the tiles are glued onto (which we did). The cross beams were not removed because:

A. It's structural, and we can't touch these beams with out a written confirmation from a structural engineer instructing us to do so and what support to put in place prior to reconstruction.
B. Nowhere on the remediation estimate does it states nor on the scope of work that we were quoting on the removal of these cross beams.
C. No where on the construction estimate was there an indication that he will be removing or replacing these beams.

As per our construction managers email he did advise you when he was installing the sub floors on top of the cross beams, that the floor will end up too high. You asked him to keep going and that you will be ok with it being high and will install a transition dropper. Only once our work was completed, and the last tile was installed, had you decided to address the fact that the floors came up too high.

Now, we followed your engineer's instructions by using the 3/4 plywood as sub floor as well as your instruction to continue working even though he advised you the sub floor would be too high given the size of the height (these cross beams were there they didn't just appear). The structural engineer could easily see that they were existing; had he even been on site post remediation for any observations? Rather then assuming we removed them, there should have been a site observation (we never received a written report instructing us to do so).

During the reconstruction phase you had the opportunity to stop our construction manager at any given moment after he suggested that the subfloor 3/4 size will be too high (your instructions were to keep going). You also had the opportunity to stop Charlie when he was installing the tiles as it was evident that the tiles would be too high. We are not at fault for the height issue as we advised you throughout the entire process.

Although we offered to come back and fix the issues related to poor workmanship (the uneven tile and grout at no cost) you decided not go head with it.

Further more, we had also offered to help with giving you our trades at our costs in order to redo the reconstruction work including the removal of the sub floor and reinstalling the tiles with no profit and reduced costs, but your decision was not to proceed with it.

Your email sent to us on September 4th 2016:

"I appreciate ____ efforts, professionalism and that he always responded to emails or phone calls in a timely and respectful manner.
I appreciate _____ professional and respectful email on Thursday September 1 in an attempt to work things out on a mutual basis.
I also appreciate _____ professional and respectful approach Thursday evening to re-examine the job at hand in a very hands on manner as well for his email Friday morning. ______ was really working to resolve the issue even at a cost to himself.

In saying this I have weighed many options and will not ask you to work on the floor any further.

I ask that you remove the debris that sits on my front porch to complete the paid invoices from the previous floor jobs.

Thank you"

Unfortunately, our position on this matter remains the same as we had tried to fix the issues related to our poor workmanship and are not at fault for the height of the floor.

Mold and asbestos removal

I found Jon from Canada Restoration Services to be both knowledgeable and professional. He was able to detect and determine solutions for both mold and asbestos issues I had in my home. He was quick to respond to my initial inquiry, was punctual for our appointment and provided me with detailed estimates for a number of options. He was always readily available to answer any questions I had. The team was thorough and the work was done quickly, efficiently and to my satisfaction. I found the experience of working with Canada Restoration Services to be reliable and even pleasant. Their pricing is competitive and more than fair for the work done. Although I hope I will not have the need anytime in the near future, I would definitely use their services again and highly recommend them to anyone who is need of this type of service.
