My kitchen counter had been damaged and having used Cabbagetown Carpentry for small jobs I thought they would be fine. Not so! The carpenter took wrong measurements and built the counter at his shop. The hole for the sink was wrong, the trim wouldn't fit properly and the boards were all splitting. It was a mess. A trusted friend and contractor said the counter needed to be taken out and the project fully restarted. Cabbagetown Carpentry did not agree. I am left with a kitchen that is an embarrassment. When I am ready to begin again I will look elsewhere!

This is the second time I have engaged Luc's roofing. In 2001 when he replaced my roof. Eaves were fine at that time. When I needed eaves replaced in 2013 he came promptly when called, gave a more than fair estimate and the job was completed within ten days of my phone call. The two installers Tyler and Tyler were polite efficient and they left the outside cleaner than it was prior to the installation.

Assisted Review

An assisted review is collected by a contractor on behalf of the homeowner after their work is completed. The homeowner must confirm the text of the review and may make any changes she or he deems appropriate. The homeowner then assigns the contractor a review score out of 10. Assisted reviews receive the same scrutiny as other reviews and must follow our review guidelines.

"Under the Sun" did an amazing restoration of my Victorian Cabbagetown front porch and walkway as well as my backyard courtyard. We used composite decking for the front walkout and steps, cobble stone for the path and 6x6 cedar timbers for the retaining walls. The materials and colour selections blended beautifully with each other and the Victorian style of the house. After some minor issues with the porch, Sal was sure to send somebody to remedy the situation promptly. I would recommend Under the Sun to anyone looking for a landscaping company that pays close attention to detail for a reasonable cost. Honest, courteous and always on time.

THANKS FOR THE GREAT REVIEW JULIE! And sorry for the delayed response, I just got back from vacations. You were a pleasure to work with, always patient and agreeable. Also you had a very clear sense of what you wanted, which is great to have. I like that you wanted to restore rather than throw out and redo. Less garbage, less waste. And it turned out great too! Let me know if there's ever any touch up or detail needed. Whenever I drive by the area, I personally think your front yard stands out most! It's simple but elegant, and very tidy. Great choice on the old village paver (cobble) path. And the cedar perimeter looks way nicer than PT wood.
Thanks again for the review and your repeated business.
Take care,
Sal.
