I contacted Dmitri based on the Homestar reviews below. We were finishing a basement bathroom project and had 24 x 24 tiles to lay on the floor . I was concerned about the large format tiles, the uneven subfloor and the trough drain system that we were using. Dmitri looked carefully at the job and made a few suggestions and provided a price. His price was very good and we hired him to install the floor tiles. It went flawlessly. His attention to detail was fantastic. We had not decided on the shower wall tiles at that point, because he did such a great job on the floor we asked Tilestars to install the wall tiles a few weeks later after deciding on what we wanted. Again, Dmitri and Sacha did a great job. The wall tiles were even larger then the floor tiles (36 x 18) and it took time and experience to install them correctly. We could not be happier with the results. They spent considerable time on the layout and cuts to ensure the best results. In the process, they respected our time by calling ahead and informing us of their ETA. They respected our house by going beyond with the cleanup and laying drop cloths to protect the hardwood and carpeting. It was a very professional job that looks amazing. Tilestars lives up to the reviews and feedback that they've received on this website. Dmitri and his team have worked hard for this reputation, it is well deserved. Thanks !

This was the second time in a year that I used Rob's services for finishing drywall in our house. As other reviewers have commented, Rob did a fantastic job. He arrived on time and to the schedule he promised, always called ahead and was very helpful with his suggestions. The bathroom was a 10 x 10 area. Took 4 visits to complete. It was done to perfection. Thanks Rob !

Read reviews of Rob's work on Homestars and decided to call him to get a quote for boarding and mudding the basement remodel we were finishing. Rob more then lived up to the reviews that have been posted. He kept in constant communication through email to let us know his schedule and when to expect him. His quote was very competitive. He started the job on time and finished when he said. The work was done professionally and without flaw. He arranged for a boarding crew to come in and install approx 70 sheets of drywall in the basement. These guys were amazing, the board was up within a few hours. Rob even arranged to have the scrap and cut-offs picked up and disposed of. Rob and his crew then came in and applied the tape and mud. Everyone needs to understand this is a messy dusty process but Rob did his best to keep the mess down. I've primed the drywall since and have been very impressed with the joints and corners. The work is flawless. I'd highly recommend Rob for your job.

We have a 1950's raised bungalow that had a 20 year old furnace and dilapidated ducts and returns. I was looking for a company that would replace my current furnace, a/c and ducts. I had already had a HVAC designer provide me with a new plan so I was able to have several companies quote based on this drawing. I received several interesting quotes and suggestions on installation methods .. some good, some disturbing. Cy from Spring Home Heating had seen a question I had posted on a forum and PM'd me. I described the job I wanted done and provided him with the drawings. He and George came by the house to look at the work. They suggested a few changes that would make the layout better, it provided me more head room in the basement and improved efficiency. They also provided me with a competitive quote. It was not the cheapest, nor most expensive. We came to an agreement on price and work was started the next week. The crew of three showed up on a Monday and spent the entire week removing/replacing the ducts, re-running the gas lines and installing the new furnace & a/c. They were exceedingly clean, each night the work area was tidied. Every time they needed to work on the main-level of the house they removed their shoes and they were watchful of our cats. I was impressed. The workmanship was excellent. They air supplies/returns were tight and neatly run. The furnace install was nicely laid out, the gas lines, wiring, venting, a/c tubing was well thought out. They asked me everyday if I was happy with the work. If there was something I wanted changed they were more then willing to accommodate or they explained why it could not be done. They made changes that they were not expecting or had worked into the price. For example, George had seen how the gas line was run for the old furnace . It did not look professional on the outside of the house coming from the meter. He had it rerouted and painted so it looked good from the outside of the house. The installation activity took place in early September. We've been living with the new system for over a month and we are very happy with the results. The equipment has worked flawlessly. In my research I found that installation of the equipment is likely the most important step in having an efficient home HVAC system. Spring Home definitely did a fantastic job. I've recommended them to others already. I feel we were lucky to have found a professional company to perform the work. They exceed all my expectations. They were courteous, professional, took pride in their work and accommodating. George and Cy are both concerned with the reputation of the company and go the extra mile to ensure everything is done to your satisfaction.

Fantastic and awesome ... the two words we use to describe our kitchen design and installation experience. We found Olympic Kitchen through Homestars and web searches. We had also visited and consulted with three other kitchen companies in the GTA. After our initial design consultation and receiving the quote we decided to contract Olympic kitchens to build and install our cabinets. We already had a good idea of the layout we wanted for our open concept kitchen and thought we had it all planned out. Although our layout remained pretty much unchanged, the details Olympic was able to incorporate really made the kitchen. Their suggestions on design elements like floating shelves, thicker gables, handle locations and functional components really made a difference in the finished product. We also did a lot of the prep work ourself, Olympic willingly made suggestion on electrical and plumbing placement. They even provided floating shelf supports during the demolition/drywall phase of the project to make things move along faster. The communication process with the design consultant was excellent. They were very responsive to email, voicemail and making site visits (2) to confirm measurements. There was not one deadline that was missed and not one promise that was not met. When it came time to install the cabinets the delivery was carefully carried out and the installer took his time in making sure everything was right. We went with built in appliances so measurements needed to be correct ... and they were. If there were any issues they were dealt with immediately. For instance, two cabinet gables were missed, overnight Olympic was able to fabricate and finish the product so that on the second day of install the pieces were on-site. We are very pleased with the end result and would recommend Olympic Kitchens to anyone without hesitation. Attached are some work in process pictures.

Hired Renaldo to hang & mud 22 sheets of drywall for a kitchen reno. Walter showed up to hang the drywall and apply the corner bead. This was done fast with tight joints and straight corners. We could not be happier with the board phase. Renaldo then came in and taped and mudded the board. This took the better part 5 days but was worth the wait. The corners were nicely done and the butt joints disappeared. I've since primed and painted the walls and found very little that needed correction. The only thing I'd say is that they are busy and juggle many jobs at once. So be prepared for them to show up 'around' the time indicated and make frequent visits to finish the tape and mud portion of the job. Overall, I've very happy with the job that was done. Just took a few days longer then I expected.

Metro Skylite went well beyond my expectations. Ron was professional from start to finish. He quoted, contracted and executed flawlessly. I had a 34x34 Velux light installed on a flat roof. This job was carried out without a hitch. Ron's team (Steve and Dave) was great. I am 110% pleased. If you are considering having a skylight installed or repaired I would not hesitate to use Metro Skylight.

We are renovating our bathroom and required some drain work and rough in plumbing be performed. Called around and received several quotes. When Matthew quoted the job he also made suggestions on how best to make the changes and at the same time save some money by doing some work myself (ie breaking up concrete floor etc). Matthew showed up on time, did an exceptional job and charged us a reasonable amount. The took his time, asked questions and made suggestions on the best way to do things. I'd hire him again without a second thought.
