I contacted Andrei from HomeStars re our attic loft conversion and second floor addition. Amongst a number of competitors Liberty came up highly interested in initially responsive. While going trough budget proposals Andrei came up with a number of revised proposals based on add ones, each time with math errors which it raised red flags as contractors sometimes makes errors to secs contract and later on pass the additional cost to the client. Since the final drawings process were delaying the application we knew we need it to await for this process to secure a firm budget, at that point Andrei suggested his “Consultation” services to deal with the city application by representing our project with the upcoming Committee of Adjustment and suggesting architect, surveying and engineer vendors. The idea sounded reasonable except he demanded $3,000 fee fully paid in advance, our second red flag.. I mentioned that that’s not a proper business arrangement, specially due to the poor industry history re issues with contractors, he insisted on this arrangement reassuring that he’l handle all of our pre construction matters and if we decided to choose them as a builder he’ll discount this fees from their construction cost. I brought to his attention that we hesitated with this arrangement but he still insisted on getting fully paid in advance as he’s a reputable professional builder and this is a normal arrangement with many of his clients. Upon further discussion we finally gave in with his term and laid in full, things started to line up with the vendors up to the point where the architect offered representing our project with the city application. At that point I mentioned that that service was offered by Andrei from Liberty, subsequently Andrei backed tracked on his commitment and demanded an additional $2,000 fee for this process. I was stoned by his reversal and denial on our phone conversation where insisted on “Read the Contract “ argument, I mentioned that I took his word as a verbal contract but he kept ignoring my appeal and subsequently hung up our phone call. Following that incident I requested to return the fees as he failed to render his “Consultation Services” in full, he categorically denied to return any amount stressing “No Return Policy”. Subsequently I removed Liberty from this project as based on the prior unethical and unprofessional practices I anticipated further money grabbing maneuvers. Needless to say, this was a highly stressful process and poor experience from Liberty Homes. JO Toronto, ON I trusted this company four hour daughter’s bedroom addition and placed a great deal of moral and financial trust.

We called Enrique to prune an old Apple Crab tree that was in very poor maintenance, also to remove a Maple tree and prune two others trees in our backyard, Enrique came himself and his crew to complete the job as agreed, he's a hands on professional, highly knowledgeable in this matter and went over and beyond our expectation, Furthermore, he also offered to come back later on if we feel that additional work is needed to satisfy us for no additional compensation. They were able to relate with our neighbours concerns and address them in a friendly and professional matter which allowed him to gain additional projects. His help was also friendly and most professional. I'm glad that I was able to find their company and will count on them for future projects. Thank you and best regards.

We hired Blue Circle to rebuild our shared chimney, replace some loosed bricks and perform some tuck point repairs trout. The chimney was done well, the bricks and tuck pointing work was poorly done as the mortar color did not matched the existing color and made the repairs looking poorly done, upon multiple request, BlueCircle returned and used the same darker tone mortar. We received a call from the company promising to return and make it right if we agree to bump the HomeStarts rating, at this time this company has shown no interest in rectify the situation after over a year of being paid in full.
