Lucy from Toronto

I had a broken window in my front door for over a year and couldn't find anyone willing to do the repair, perhaps because it was a small job. I called Chris who came the next day to quote the repair and then the day after that (on time) to complete the job quickly and carefully. I will definitely call Chris and Hayes for any future window repairs.

We had very old windows in our century home that desperately needed replacing. We met with representatives from 3 different companies and decided on Ambia to do the job for 3 reasons: the price was reasonable, the windows themselves were attractive and well-made with all necessary quality control assurances (Energy Star etc.), and the warranty was excellent and transferrable. Michael from the sales team came to our home and took time and care in answering all of our questions patiently and thoroughly and sent us a quote promptly. He then arranged for us to meet with Brian from the window manufacturer who also took a great deal of time and care with us. Neither of them tried to up-sell us on extra features or pressure us in any way. The price was less than we had expected so we ended up replacing 10 windows in our house altogether, more than we had originally planned. George who came to do the work was kind and worked almost non-stop to get the job done in 1.5 days including one window in the basement that we had previously been told could not be replaced. This was 6 months ago and we couldn't be happier with the results. The change to the look of the home is phenomenal and it is so much better insulated and comfortable inside. I would recommend Ambia to anyone without hesitation. We are so happy with this investment made in our home.

We had the windows replaced in our home and only afterwards did I think about the fact that the window frames and sills are probably painted with lead paint as the home is very old. I was very concerned as I have a young baby so I called The Healthy Abode. I first spoke with Angelina on the phone who was very helpful and reassuring and told me first how to clean up the dust and dirt from the work myself. I followed her instructions but then called her again the next day to ask if she would come and test the remaining dust to give me some further peace of mind. She was able to see me the very next day and she and Vince arrived right on time for the appointment. They were totally professional but caring and understanding. They took time to answer all of my questions, look all through the house, and allay my fears. Angelina took a dust sample and the results were back to me in only a couple of days. Angelina also followed up with me by email regarding the results. From start to finish it was a pleasure to work with them and I would call them for any matter relating to lead, asbestos or mold. They were knowledgeable, thorough and kind!

I found Strong Plumbing on Homestars and called Valentin and two other plumbers for quotes to replace the lead piping in my home. Valentin was the only one of the three that came on time to give me a quote and quoted a significantly cheaper price as well although the work was somewhat complicated by the location of the water meter. The day of the work was totally stress-free; Valentin and his crew took care of everything and talked me through the work that they did and answered my many questions very patiently. The crew even made repairs to my leaky shower on the spot. I will call Strong for all of my plumbing from now on.

We have just moved into our new home and called CanaDuct to clean our duct work and parts of the furnace. The technicians were very pleasant and showed me the before and after results of the work that they had done. Alex also shared some great tips with me on site for maintenance of the furnace and to improve the heating of the home. It was overall a very positive experience and I would certainly call them again for duct cleaning.
