Purchased flooring and installation from Kingsway Carpets and Blinds based on reviews from Homestars, and was absolutely not disappointed with my decision. I initially went in, and chose a very beautiful Engineered Hardwood to have installed in my condo. There was a tremendous amount of selection but I (of course) zeroed in on what was likely the most expensive piece of flooring in the store. Hani from Kingsway Carpet and Blinds was quick to point out that the colour was likely not suited to the light levels in my condo, but I was still prepared to purchase the flooring on the spot. He insisted that I take a few samples home, and he sent me home with some samples that I felt were too light for my application. After I got the samples home, I found that he had been right, and chose to go with a lighter colour, which ended up being a much cheaper alternative. While I was happy to pay more, they were solely focused on my satisfaction and used their expert knowledge to save me money and get me the right floor. The installation was done on short notice on the exact dates that I requested. I wasn't home for the installation as I was out of town, but left instructions for access with Hani and the installers. I came back to find a masterfully installed floor with no flaws, and a very clean condo with no work debris and very little dust to speak of. I'm incredibly satisfied with both the service and installation and would highly recommend the team at Kingsway Carpets and Blinds for all your flooring needs.

My washing machine broke on Monday evening. The switch that is depressed when the lid is closed snapped. Seeing as I'm not very handy, I looked to Homestars to recommend a repair person and Richard from Downtown Toronto Appliance repair did not disappoint. When I spoke to Richard, he advised that he had the required part immediately and would be at my condo within an hour! Richard arrived on time as promised and with lightning speed pulled the top of the washing machine and replaced the part. Richard was polite and worked faster than anyone I've ever seen. It was quite evident that he was highly skilled in the area of appliance repair. Within less than 20 minutes he had the washing machine fixed, the invoice made up and paid and he was on his way. Total time between my initial call and repair being completed: less than 2 hours! Wow! I would highly recommend Richard to anyone who is looking for appliance repair in Downtown Toronto.
