Edit May 2024: Had a High Lift conversion done last year along with a Jack Shaft Opener. Installation workmanship and attention to detail was amazing. Had to have a couple of visits for some adjustments and the after-sales customer service is incredible. Brandon really did an amazing job. This is the level of service every company should strive for. I can't recommend these guys enough. ********** Needed a garage door cable repaired. Sent an email in the evening and they promptly responded the next morning. Tech showed up that same afternoon. Repair was quick and the charge was reasonable. Very satisfied with the service. Will purchase a replacement door from them this summer.

Even though the Tech came out on a Sunday I was not impressed with the service call. Tech showed up and unplugged an LG Fridge evaporator fan connector and re-connected it and the fan started working and he insisted that the fridge would now work. 2 hours later the fridge started getting warm again and was even worse than before. Tech came out on Monday evening and "thought" that the compressor was not functioning or was low on refrigerant. No definitive diagnosis was given and the tech was not qualified to do any work with refrigerant or the Compressor. A complete waste of time & money as I now need to call a "real" certified LG Technician to properly diagnose the problem. Tech was not even versed in the on-board diagnostic function of the fridge. After reading the service manual I knew more than he did. An absolute waste of time and $213.00 for a so-called "diagnosis". This company should focus on hiring technicians that are more brand-specific knowledgeable as "jacks of all trades" are a thing of the past. EDIT: LG Tech came out to look at the fridge and knew right way the compressor needed to be replaced. This tech made the other one that showed up from this company look like a rank amateur.

Had a deck and gazebo done last year. A year later it's a rickety mess. There's more to building a deck then just using screws and nails. No proper joist hangers were used and now had to call in a proper deck company to reinforce the shoddy workmanship with proper brackets and mending plates because the gazebo roof sagged so badly. The unqualified labour he used seemed to think breaking off the exposed corners of concrete footings with a sledge hammer was a good idea. That is until the entire top of the footing broke off. Had I not seen them do it they would have just left the beam hanging over the now demolished footing. The footings were also not poured in the correct spots for the Gazebo leaving some of the posts almost hanging off the edge of the footing. All of those website photos may look nice but the construction techniques are sloppy and poor. Just a lot of toe nailing and wood screws. No heavy fasteners used at all for the main structure. This deck was a complete waste of money. EDIT: You respond that "I guess you can't please everyone but the most important part is the work got done and you now can shelter from the summer sun" Look at the photos. This is not a matter of pleasing anyone. This is shoddy and poor workmanship and actually quite dangerous when those posts and footings come loose. The posts were not even placed in the centre of the footings (or what's left of them). There is no excuse for this. Edit #2: A properly licensed deck company I hired to rectify the issues had said they have never seen such shoddy work; boards that were riddled with nails and simply bent out of the way so that they can be re-used. They removed the footings completely and re-poured them properly (and to the proper depth) and re-built the Gazebo. They drew up repair plans via CAD and were even nice enough to document all of the errors in the event I wish to take legal action - which I intend on doing.

We bought our Weber BBQ from this store a few years back and they gave us a good deal and good service at the time so we decided to use them again for the appliances for our new home. We already knew what we wanted ahead of time so we went in with a list of model #'s and prices. We ended up saving about $2500 over retail pricing and the experience was straight forward and hassle-free. A preliminary delivery date was set and that was it. We placed the order with them 2 months before our new place closed. A few weeks went by and I decided to call the salesman to see if there were any issues. He assured me that everything was on schedule. A week before delivery I called again to confirm the delivery date and to ensure there were no surprises. This time the salesman stated that the wall oven and range hood were on backorder. The wall oven was delayed until a week after the initial delivery date and the range hood wasn't supposed to arrive until mid-December yet we ordered these items 2 months in advance! This entire time we did not receive a single phone call advising us of this issue. Electrolux Canada stated that the range hood is a special order item. I came to find out that they did not order the items until 2 weeks prior to the delivery date. If they would have ordered the range hood when we went into the store we would have had it on the scheduled day of delivery. Anyway, waiting until mid-December for the range hood was out of the question so we ordered it online from the U.S. instead. We received it in less that a week. Their delivery department sent an e-mail the day before the scheduled delivery date and stated they would call before showing up. The day of the delivery we received no call but the truck did show up within the scheduled time window. Out of all the appliances we ordered we only received 3. The bill of lading showed that the washer and dryer were on the truck but in fact the washer was actually missing. They attributed this to a “glitch” in the system. The delivery guys were friendly and careful not to damage anything in the house. There was confusion with the invoice amount owing as well. I had to tell them what the outstanding amount was and stated that we would not pay for anything that wasn’t delivered. They had to call the office and confirm the amount owing not including the missing appliances. I called the store the following Monday (they’re closed on Friday & Saturday) to find out what was going on with the missing washer and wall oven. They stated that the washer and wall oven would be delivered on Wednesday. I then told them to cancel the range hood since we managed to obtain one elsewhere. Wednesday came and we received a call from the delivery guys in the Truck who were waiting outside the house. The sidewalks had been poured the day before so there was no access to the driveway for the truck to pull in. They were trying to convince us to have them come back when the driveway was accessible since they did not want to carry the appliances from the street. They were told this was not an option since the driveway would not be accessible for at least a week. They reluctantly unloaded the wall oven and dryer and brought it into the house. This delivery crew was different from the first crew. They had no regard for being careful with the floors and walls inside the house. Both of them were wearing heavy construction boots (with the cover booties) and did not seem to care about the wood floors. They had careless and ignorant attitudes and thought it was ok to drag the heavy boxes over smooth porcelain tiles in the kitchen. The hardwood floor installer that was there even had to tell them to be more careful. It seemed to fall on deaf ears though. The first delivery crew were a lot more attentive and professional. The second crew were more like a pair of high school part-timers. Once again there was confusion about what was owing on the invoice. Yet once again I had to tell them what the amount was and they had to call the office (once again!!) to confirm. In the end, we received all but one of the appliances. All were undamaged except for the fridge which had a slight dent at the side in the back (it wasn’t worth the trouble sending it back for a new one since it won’t be seen anyway) However, the nonsense and incompetence we had to go through was unacceptable. It seemed like once the salesman got his sale we were on our own. As stated before, not a single phone call was received from them to tell us there were issues with the order. We had to chase them. Our previous appliance experience (with Home and Rural who are no longer in business) was flawless. This ordeal was a disorganized nightmare. Needless to say we will never set foot in their store or purchase a single solitary item from them ever again. One would think that spending so much money at once would garner some professionalism and service but that does not appear to be the case here.
