Our front screen door needed to be refit and trimmed out so that it no longer hit the inside storm door when closing.

After working with Hamid on our basement reno in the spring of 2018, I contacted him to provide me a quote on replacing the hardwood floors in our vestibule, front hall and kitchen with ceramic tiling and, rebuilding our second floor deck. Hamid was quite clear that he didn't usually do outside construction work like decks but, at my urging he provided a quote on both pieces of work. Hamid provided quotes that were very reasonable and we contracted with him to do the work. as before, he and his crew showed up on the agreed dates and worked through to complete the job in an orderly and professional manner. The end products where both the tiling and outside deck are concerned are of excellent quality and exceeded our expectations. These guys are great...if you need a professional, reliable contractor for your renovation work these guys do high quality work, at reasonable prices while keeping you informed as your project progresses. I would highly recommend them to anyone.

After interviewing 4 contractors to complete the renovation work in our basement, I elected to work with Hamid and Pro A & R Renovation...I am very glad that I did. What started out as a relatively straight forward reno that involved relocating our boiler and then rebuilding our downstairs bath turned into something much larger as we began to discover the past construction history of our house through the process of deconstruction...a common issue with most renos it seems. Throughout this process Hamid and Rida were steadying influences that brought a very practical perspective to any deliberations. Most importantly, they stayed on-site throughout the entire process, showed up everyday at 8:30 am and worked through until 5:00 pm and were willing to engage in discussions to find the best solutions along the way. They are both very skilled tradesmen and managed all aspects of the rebuild process. They do high quality work, keep you up to date on budgets and costs, deliver on time, and make sure that the finished product meets expectations. Renovations are chaotic by nature but Hamid and Rida maintain a calm and focused approach through the process, clean up the work site at the end of each day and manage to move the process along in an orderly manner. We are very satisfied with the end product and would have absolutely no hesitation recommending Hamid and Rida to others.

I called Belyea Brothers to come and check into reorganizing a hot water manifold and servicing my boiler. The "technician" showed up for the appointment, put cloth booties over his work boots on a snowy/slushy day, tracked dirty footprints through our house, reviewed the situation for all of 15 minutes max, informed me that there was nothing he could do, charged me roughly 150$ for the priviledge and, left me with a clean up job on our floors! From what I understand, there is no credit of the 150$ charge against any work that may be done in the future which makes the whole trip for this "technician" seem like nothing more than a money grab...especially when no work was performed! I will not be calling these people again and would warn others of their practices. I am posting this now some 6 months after the above posting. In addition to the above, shortly after the "technician" visit, Belyea had my boiler red tagged which meant having the boiler replaced within 90 days. This was done despite having them over to service the boiler on many occasions and, having asked them for quotes to replace our boiler in 2016...on all of those occasions there was never any concern expressed that our boiler installation was to code. While they may have been correct on that point, I can't help but think that "red tagging" our boiler was done in part out of retaliation for a negative review. We have had our boiler replaced now, by other providers and are very satisfied with the results.

I called Nazar to repair our garage door opener. He was prompt, courteous and stayed with the job until it was completed satisfactorily despite unforeseen challenges along the way. He honoured his price and got me going again. Highly recommended.
