I first had contact with Rocco from Architalcan Design in 2010 for a house I had purchased and was renovating in downtown Toronto. After the initial call I met up with Rocco at the house and discussed the kind of renovation I had in mind and then Rocco took measurements of the house. Within a couple of days Rocco emailed me some draft drawings for the house. Afterwards I discussed with Rocco some changes I wanted and practically in no time he sent me revised drawings and then he proceeded to finalize the plans to submit to the City. Withing a day or 2 from submission to the city my permit was ready. In late 2019, I purchased another property and called Rocco again. After 10 years he remembered me as it was just yesterday that we had spoken last. Again we met at the property and within a few days the drawings were ready and within a another couple of days my permit was ready from the City. Since we were doing the project during Covid and the City inspectors were not coming to the site regularly, I asked Rocco to do an inspection and write a report to give to City for Structural work.. Again Rocco came right to mu house and within a day emailed me the reports that I required. In the 2 projects I worked with Rocco, I was very satisfied for his good ideas , his efficiency and reasonable fee. I would highly recommend Rocco for any projects requiring architectural services.

My oven stopped working and I went to the Homestars web site to find a repair company. I called 3 or 4 companies that had good reviews and the first 2 companies I spoke to told me that they didn't service my area. Finally I spoke to someone from Pro Appliance and set up an appointment which was in a couple of days . On the day of the appointment the service man did arrive on time and I found him to be friendly and professional. He quickly figured out what the problem was and fortunately had the part that was required in his truck. The whole job was done in about 40 minutes. The cost of the repair I felt was reasonable particularly because my appliance was fixed and I didn't have to deal any longer with that problem. If you have an appliance that needs to be repaired, I would definitely recommend this company.
