Pat New from Peterborough

I wouldn't recommend this company if my life depended on it. I am a woman over 60 and asked them to fix a screen and make a new one for me. The owner, Darren, came and measured the one window I needed to replace. There was never a screen in the window. The screen that I needed was 13 3/8" x 49 1/4" White Frame. Black Fiberglass Mesh Screen. I ) ordered August 15/17 and today I finally got it and installed it myself. (October 5/17) Here is the problem.....When I first received the screen it was way too large! I called, they said bring it in we will fix it. Another week goes by and I called, screen is ready. I go and pick it up...bring it home...and it still doesn't fit!! I called, they offered a refund, I said no...I need the screen to fit. It appears to be backwards. He states he found that hard to believe. Offered to come to the house to see. A week later, an hour later than he stated he would arrive. He looks at the screen agrees it is backwards. Scratches his head and states again, refund? I showed him other screens in the house. Asked if it could be fixed with any of those options. We decided to used screen clips and pull the other spring ones out. Another week goes by, I drop in, screen is not ready. Another week goes by, I call...screen is ready but can't find screen clips, I say, "I am sure Home Hardware will carry that." He claims he tried and no clips. Says he is going to contact one of his contractors. He calls a few days later, still nothing!!! I stop into Home Hardware, across the street from where his shop is. Guess what???? I found the clips!!! I drive across the road to pick up my screen. Darren is there. I tell him I found the clips at Home Hardware!!! So after all this, I ask for a rebate on my costs $70 for this screen, plus $5 for the clip, never mind all the gas I consumed coming and going for this screen, not to mention all the time involved............ and he says, "Oh, I can't do that!" I was so put off that he just didn't give a damn. Oh, and the other screen that I asked to be fixed. There was a clip broken off it, and asked if he could find one for me. He stated he would try. When he finally gave me my quote, he stated he couldn't find those clips, not manufactured anymore. He could replace the screen for $120+ I told him I would pass. Guess what?? I found the clip at Home Hardware and they fixed it for free!!! So, do yourself a favour, The company sucks!!!!

When I hired this company the owner, Bryan Goulding was very informative and attentive. Seemed very eager to get started on the job and promised his work was top-notch. We met in April as I wanted to do an addition on the house which would extend our bedroom to include a ensuite and w/i closet. This was a long-awaited dream of 8 years saving. A dream that turned into a nightmare. He encourage me not to get a septic permit. Said it would hold up the job and that it was likely to extend the cost of the project a great deal. Me, being a senior woman, wanted to believe him and felt he would know best. Well as it turned out it was anything but!! I started noticing things that were going wrong. No matter how many times I asked for something to be completed it was not!! Always an excuse as to why it couldn't be done. Ok, you know best. I wanted helical piles, cheaper, faster...I ended up with concrete piles, very unsightly and I will add still unfinished unfinished. I have to admit there was a delay in the plumbing. What he proposed was not structurally possible. Two plumbers, his and ours, both said it couldn't be done as to the plan that was laid out. These things occur...change of plans. He became very irritated and pulled off the job for a week while it was being done. I reminded him of all the other things that were still not done and could be worked on in the mean time. I was told no! To make a long, long story short. He walked off the job after taking 22,500 of the 25,000 that was quoted. The pictures will tell you just how bad it is. There is raw wood in the ground that will eventually attract rot and termites. The siding is horrific, There is a leak that had to be immediately repaired of there would be interior damage. Inspections had deficiency that were never done. And it goes on and on. Needless to say the mess that he left behind for us to clean. I implore you NOT to hire this company. He talks sweet and tells you what you want to hear. The picture speak for themselves. Fortunately, I have a new contractor that will help fix what he messed up, but at a very expensive cost.

I hired MDS roofing to do the roof on my garage. Mike noticed that there were no roof vents so he made sure that it was adequately vented. He did such a wonderful job that I hired him again for my house. Mike and his guys did a great job. There wasn't any sign that they were even there. Clean up was amazing. I would hire this company again if I had more roofs to do, but I will recommend them to any one who asks me for a great roofer. Thank you MDS Roofing on 2 jobs well done.
