We contacted Desjardins Masonry to repair a concrete block cellar wall that was holding up the front concrete slab porch at our cottage. Over the years, the corner had sunk and there were cracks in the concrete block mortar. As well the front facing side had a brick veneer which would have to be removed for the repair. The team showed up on time, shored up the sinking corner, removed all the concrete block and replaced with new block to properly support the corner. As well, they called me to show me that the porch concrete slab wasn't properly supported and attached to the cottage foundation when it was built in the 1970s. They installed 5 concrete block piers, with rebar, to support and fix the slab to the cottage foundation. They replaced all the front facing brick and the job looks fantastic! It should last another 100 years. Before and after photos are included.

I was contacted by Mike at Forestwood shortly after placing my request for a quote. Mike came by and sized up the job for a reasonable cost. I had a 30' Mulberry tree I wanted removed and the stump grinded so I could finish a fence and garden in my yard. Mike and his crew arrived a few days later and did a great job in a short amount of time. The existing chain link fence was protected and they cleaned up the site leaving me with a clean spot to finish my garden work. Fantastic service!

When my mother-in-laws home had sold, the sales agent recommened Polanski moving since she had dealt with them before. Oddly enough, when my mother-in-law moved into her home in 1989, it was Polanski Moving that moved them! The original visit to size up the move was done safely (with Covid protocols) and thoroughly. When the move day arrived, the team arrived right on time and got to work right away. It was a good thing we were completely prepared! A team of 7 (yes 7!) young men were very efficient in moving everything out, and they took time to prevent any damage to the contents or the home. In 90 minutes the truck was loaded and it was onto the delivery to the condo. Again the crew asked all the right questions and very efficiently moved everything into the condo. All total it was just about 3 hours for then entire move out and move in. A very professional move at a very reasonable cost. We would definitely recommend Polanksi Moving to anyone.

We had sold our 3 bedroom house and moved out, so it was time to hire a team to remove the remaining furniture and other junk to empty the house for the new owners. I contacted Big Ben's Junk Removal based upon the reviews on HomeStars and I'm happy to say I wasn't disappointed. They requested pictures to provide an accurate estimate, which gave me peace of mind. The crew arrived on time and promptly removed all the junk. The team was curteous and professional. So nice to have it all cleaned out before the home sale closes. Jacqueline in the office was great to deal with too!

I found the entire inspection process to be very well done. Carson Dunlop was recommended by our real estate agent. Since the house was built in 1967, we wanted to be sure to have a thorough and professional inspection.The inspector arrived on time and we went through the house together with a very detailed inspection. He took the time to answer all the questions I had. He discovered a number of minor issues that were highlighted in the final report that I would never have found myself. As well he had a variety of interesting methods to look for potential issues. The use of the thermal imaging camera was also well worth the additional cost.We were very pleased with the detailed final report, as well as the accompanying home maintenance book. Overall it was a very professional inspection and I would certainly recommend Carson Dunlop to anyone looking for a home inspection.

We contacted Roma paving after a recommendation from our interlocking stone contractor and they did a great job. They came first to remove the old driveway and lay down a gravel bed. After our stone walkway was installed, they returned once the weather permitted to complete the paving job. There was great communication throughout the process and we're very happy with the workmanship. A reasonable price too!

We hired Acadamar to replace an uneven porch stoop and walkway at our house with new interlocking stone. Angelo came out and gave us a reasonable quote that included a stone border down the driveway so we could add a new asphalt driveway once the stone work was done. The crew did a great job in a single day and it looks great. Now that the asphalt is done, our front driveway and walkway are complete!
