We used Portellli Windows a couple years ago and were very satisfied with the Oran brand of windows he installed. This time we needed a few more windows replaced and Angelo suggested KV Windows which is apparently a new company owned by the son of Oran. These windows are of the same quality as Oran. As usual with Angelo and his crew, the work is very professional, the windows are way better than the "builder" quality stuff and they clean up all their mess before they leave. We highly recommend Portelli Windows. They do a great job and they really care about the quality of their installations.

We obtained several quotes on our A/C installation and had also talked to a few neighbors about their ductless A/C setups. What swung us over to World of Comfort was their knowledgeable advice. Mel took a good look at our place and filled me in on where all the components would go, the routing of the refrigerant lines, etc. At his suggestion we went with two indoor units and a two ton external heat pump unit (Fujitsu) which could be expanded to a third indoor unit later if we needed it. The installation went very well with the four-man crew doing a fantastic job (very neat, clean installation). They were finished in about a day and a half and cleaned up thoroughly after they were done. We've had the system in place for about 3-4 weeks now and have had some hot days and some cold days so we've been able to test both the A/C and the heating. Everything works great. The A/C units draw a lot of moisture out of the air and leave it cool and comfortable inside on hot days. This is a huge upgrade from our old window A/C units. We're very confident about recommending World of Comfort. They do it right and care about the quality of their work and your satisfaction.

We had heard of Marsh's but checked them out on Homestars before seriously considering them. We had two gas inserts done at the same time and needed the job done in a tight time frame before our hardwood installers were scheduled to come in. They arrived a bit later than expected on the scheduled day, but sent two teams of installers so that the job would be done on time. The downstairs fireplace posed a challenge to them because of the S-shaped flue. At the end they said it was one of the more challenging installs they'd done in a while, but they managed it. Everyone from the sales guy (Willem) to the installers was professional and helpful. We love our Valor fireplaces and would definitely recommend Marsh's.

We heard about Floorwood thru Homestars. Vintage made the hardwood we wanted ( Handscraped Hickory Winchester) and Floorwood is a Vintage dealer, but what really attracted us to Floorwood was their reputation for quality installations. Our house is 65 years old and the floors are not very level or even. We did some sub-floor prep on our own but Robert and Darek did the rest and the result is spectacular. A beautiful upgrade and no squeeks or noises from any of the boards. They did some really nice work to shim the floor where needed, and some great carpentry work around our radiator pipes, the fireplace area, and around the door sills. Patricica is a great organizer so these guys show up when they say they will, unlike many other contractors we've used. We'd use them again, for sure.
