Adam in East York

Joe was incredibily communicative, and bent over backwards to get the job done given my tight deadline. The job was quite small, but he still put in the extra effort despite having a challenging day. Thanks to his efforts, I may actually get the room done before our baby arrives ;)

We had our roof stripped (3 layers) and re-roofed in September by Al's. Their estimate was dead on, amd substantially less than a few others i got for the exact same shingles. It's only been 3 months, but so far so good.

I had Howieco come in and run a line for our new dryer in our basement. Ken came in and had a look at our panel and the basement. the part where the line was being run is completely unfinished, so the job was a breeze. He also noticed that the existing outlet near our laundry tub was not a GFCI outlet and suggested we change it. I agreed. A few days later his crew showed up, right on time, and got right to work. They answered all my questions, and were done in about an hour without any problems. We're planning to get more electrical done over the winter, and plan to use them again.

My wife and I moved from our 3 bedroom apartment (on the second and third floor of a house) across the city into our new home (a bungalow) in September. The guys were about an hour later showing up than I had expected. This was partially due to an address typo that I had corrected with their reservations people a few days prior, but apparently wasn't actually clearly communicated to the guys driving the truck. The guys were ok. One guy was an employee and he was pretty good. The second was apparently not an employee, and was just helping out because they needed some extra bodies. He wasn't very professional. He swore under his breath repeatedly, and complained about the way our stuff was packed (his complaints were valid, but not exactly useful) The actual move went fine. I saw a couple of boxes fall on the way to the truck, but nothing that was fragile, and nothing was broken. The truck was packed securely. Unloading went fine. Overall, Ultimate Choice were ok. If I could do it over again, I would have rented a truck and done the move with friends.

I called Tom to rekey our recently purchased home. Our front door has an old mortise lock, the side door was a semi-modern double cylinder, and the garage had another older lock on it. We wanted to replace the double cylinder with a normal deadbolt, and have both the side and front door keyed the same, with a different key for the garage. None of this presented any problem for Tom, and he was done within an hour, and we had 5 keys to the house and 3 for the garage, just as we'd asked. Tom was pleasant, and answered all my annoying questions about locks and otherwise.
