Disappointing to see that I bought a home 3 years ago and took over a hot water tank rental from Reliance and they did not mention or offer a new tank. I've calculated that the previous owner and I have invested over $8000 in payments for a inefficient hot water tank valued at less than $900 new.

My wife and I just had our first child a few months ago, and it became quickly evident that after the arrival of our son that we were going to need more space as we both work from home. Our options were to add on to the back of the house or utilize the basement space that was there. Like most north Toronto homes, our basement was wavy and not as low as we would have liked it to be with very bulky columns supporting our main beam, but fortunately we saw the potential in it. We had several quotes on benching, underpinning etc., but it was Cornerstone that suggested that it may be wise to simply flatten the floor, remove the columns and replace them with steel posts and to have the pluming moved to where we wanted it. This solution saved us thousands of dollars and still provided us with a very acceptable 6'8" clearance and provided an additional 600 sq. feet of living space for our family. They were always on time, and very professional and kept me informed about the inspection process. While I wish that the finished floor could be even flatter, I understand that it was the drains that dictated the slop. I would recommend Cornerstone to anyone.

I recently hired this company to tile our front entrance, our fireplace, our mudroom and our backsplash. I was happy to find out that he gets discounts at some tile stores in the GTA and that we could go in and choose the tile and he’d have the discount applied; we saved over $500 on the tile! He was very knowledgeable, and helped my wife and I in our choices. He was also fast and courteous. I would recommend this company to anyone. Dave B

My wife and I would like to thank Tony at Rex Lumber for all of his guidance in choosing the right moulding, and doors for our home remodel. We visited several moulding places, and wood door companies, but we found Rex to be the most knowledgeable and have the most competitive prices. The delivered on time, and always had what we wanted in stock. Tony also helped us pick wood doors that worked with our budget and had them prepped for easy install, which was a service that many other places didn’t offer. Thanks again Tony, I will defiantly recommend Rex Lumber to everyone I know. Dave and Cindy

My wife and I have been living through a complete home renovation for about 14 months now, and we’ve had our share of both good and bad contractors. When we finally approached the finish line, we called and met with a few finishing contractors. Vlad was by far the most experienced and his pricing was very competitive. We had Vlad do custom wainscoting going up our stairs, hang all of the wood doors that we purchased for the rooms, and closets, do the base boards, wainscoting in our dining room, and build a closet under our stairs and build custom cabinets beside our fire place. Vlad took about 10 days to do a job that would have taken me 3 months; he listened to our wants and implemented them into the design. He was a pleasure to work with and I would recommend him to any one of my friends. Vlad, I’ll have more pictures to you soon. Side note – the best deal I could find on the Lumber and Doors was at Rex Lumber in Mississauga, they had the best selection and the best prices. Thanks, Dave and Cindy

My wife and I bought our house expecting that there was no knob & Tube, as the MLS listing stated there was 'NO KNOB & TUBE'; we were shocked when we opened the walls to find out that there was a cover up in the basement, and that the whole house was Kobe & Tube. CLI was one of three companies we found in the Yellow Pages to give us a quote to rewire the whole house, and we found them to be the most professional and the only one who didn't try to sell us up-grades we didn't need. They were fast and professional and a pleasure to do business with. We recently hired them to do additional work in our house for Lighting, Pot Lights, LCD TV mount (above fireplace). We look forward to using them in the future to do some landscape lighting when our budget allows. I highly recommend CLI if your house needs electrical upgrades.
