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.

My house is a backsplit with uninsulated aluminium siding. The siding was over 30 years old and looking tired, and in the winter it was a good 5 degrees colder in the back of the house where the siding is rather than the front. So I decided it was time for a replacement. From the moment I met Shaun I knew I had found the right contractor and needed to look no further. He made an excellent suggestion to match up the front of the house with siding (formerly a wooden façade) so it would match the back with existing brick in between. I have consistently had problems with eavestrough drainage and wasted good money on contractors who did not know what they were doing. It was clear from the first conversation Shaun did and he made excellent suggestions. From the moment Shaun’s team of Adam and Chris started work I knew I had found the perfect dream of a contractor. The standard of workmanship was the highest level. Their attention to details was as if this was their own house they were working on, perhaps even higher! They worked quickly without compromising quality and always kept the work site as clean and tidy as possible. My house is almost 100 years old and has a lot of ‘fiddly bits’ - they coped with these in the most ingenious, top notch ways. Adam and Chris are genuinely lovely guys who were only too happy to go that little extra mile that means so much. I really missed not having them around when they were finished! In short, I would not hesitate to recommend Home Doctor to anyone needing siding, eavestrough and soffit work done. Shaun is a great guy and his team are top quality. By the time they finished I really did feel like hugging them all and shedding a tear like those people who get reno makeovers on HGTV. My house looks like a million bucks now (literally) and as I am on a corner lot I have had all of my neighbours and many people walking by commenting on how wonderful it looks. PS. Shaun has posted photos of my house - began with pale blue aluminium siding and replaced with deep blue vinyl siding. Lynne Jones

I will be sure to share this with Chris and Adam. It was very much a pleasure working with you! Thanks again for the kind words, compliments and endorsement. I hope you have a great Summer (o: Cheers, Shaun.

I had 3 quotes for basement waterproofing in my 1917-built home. The dampness in the basement has got worse these last couple of years and I had water ingress in the July 2012 storm. Trevor at RCC spent the most time discussing issues with me, drawing a detailed diagram of what would be done, replacement basement window wells and the location of the sump pump. RCC's quote was competitive and I had the most confidence in them. I was so right to do so. They dug down on 3 sides of my house in early Nov 2013 and I was astonished at the speed and yet careful attention that the crew worked. When the walls of my basement were revealed, I was surprised I hadn't had even more problems than I had - one side did not even have weeping tiles installed. I am 100% confident my basement will be completely dry for the next 25 yrs plus. I have to compliment Trevor and the waterproofing crew for their excellent, thorough and professional work. They even coped professionally with my 'property-line fanatic' of a neighbour who threw a hissy fit and refused to allow the bobcat to exit the excavation at one point. Now, the finished work looks 100% better than it did before. I would not hesitate in recommending RCC to anyone - large or small job.
