Steve from Toronto

I hired TVELT Construction after contacting over 10 contractors to quote on my garage conversion. Peeter gave me a price based on what the job was actually worth, not what he thought he could squeeze out of me because I live in a decent neighbourhood in Toronto (which for some reason = $$$$$ to most contractors). He was very transparent with his quote, breaking everything down for me and giving me plenty of options - something none of the other contractors were willing to do (I wonder why...). Peeter and his crew poured a new concrete pad complete with in floor heating, installed a 12' patio door which included re-bricking above the door, framed the entire space, added structural integrity to the roof, installed an air conditioner and replaced the cedar shake. Everything was done with the care and precision you would expect from experienced tradesmen. Despite my micromanaging, Peeter and his father were always willing to answer my questions and make suggestions that were always as good or better than my own ideas. Did I mention the job was done in half the time the other contractors quoted? I would definitely recommend TVELT and will be using them for any potential future projects.

I recently had a garage conversion insulated with spray foam. The company that initailly "did the job" had great reviews here on Homestars, but unfortunately felt like breaching our agreement by not spraying nearly enough foam on my vaulted ceiling (2" instead of 3.5") and left more than a few areas on the walls with inadequate thickness as well. Not trusting this contractor to come back and correct the problem based on some emails and a creepy voice mail, I called Callrich Eco Services. Not only did Stephen answer the phone on a Sunday, he arranged for a crew to come by the NEXT DAY to correct the problem despite his very busy schedule - he managed to fit me in between scheduled jobs. I wasn't home when they came by, but Mike and Tyler(?) waited for me for over half an hour to get home. They did a great job evening out the irregular thickness on the the walls and ceiling (a difficult task since it's not a flat surface) and were very careful not to overspray which would make the drywall installation difficult. All of this for much less money than I would have expected given the situation. Obviously, I should have called these guys to begin with. I wish all contractors were this professional and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for spray foam in their home. THANK YOU!
