MJ in Thornhill

We noticed that our roof shingles were curling, and were not sure how much longer the roof would last. Our gutters have been giving us issues for years and needed to be replaced. I spoke with several roofing companies, and received a range of quotes. Roofs on Homes was competitive with the others. I had read up on the various shingle manufacturers, and specifically wanted Certainteed shingles. I found Roofs on Homes here on homestars based on the many positive reviews. I like to ask many questions when I hire a contractor about workmanship, and what is involved in the project, and was happy to hear all the detailed explanations, which gave me confidence that this company knew what they are doing. The crew came out with a large enough crew to complete the job in 2 days. They were professional and cleaned up well. They identified a few boards that needed to be replaced, which reaffirmed that the roof needed to be done at this time, and we caught it before more significant damage will occur. They installed new Maxvents for us to provide better airflow in the attic. A second crew came a few weeks later and replaced the gutters. We chose new colours for both the roof and the gutters that go better with the rest of colouring of the house. Thank you Roofs on Homes, will recommend you to friends and neighbours.

We have a large bathroom ensuite in our 30+ year old house, and hired Tomer and Living Construction for a complete renovation. His prices were fair and included a lot of additional items compared to quotes that we received from other contractors; he sourced our custom millwork, countertops, sinks, mirrors, pot lights and shower glass. We only had to provide fixtures and tiles. We worked with him on the design which included a free standing tub, glass shower, vanities, makeup counter, and additional storage cabinetry. The workmanship was good, all the workers were polite and cleaned up after themselves, which was important as we lived here during the reno. The tiler did an especially good job. Any issues along the way were resolved, and Tomer ensured that every small detail I told him about was taken care of. I would recommend him to others needing similar or other contracting work.

I have been a lawn savers customers for several years now, I had a bad experience with a previous lawn care company, leaving my lawn in bad shape, after a couple of years of lawn savers treatment, I saw improvement, and grass growing in bare patches where it had not before. One time I had a concern, and the owner came himself to apply an addional treatment for me. Staff have always been curteous and knowledgeable. Last summer we moved to a new home, and the previous owner had left the lawn in rough shape, I called lawnsavers to service my new lawn. they gave suggestions of treatments to get the lawn back in shape, and I am looking forward to seeing the lawn grow this summer.

This was my second time using 416-SO-CLEAN. We moved into a new house, and wanted to clean the carpet in the basement, this is a fairly large finished area, the carpet had a number of stains on it though. Matthew came and did a very thorough job, when he left, the carpet looked almost like new. I will use this company again next time I need cleaning done.

RENTASON helped my family move in June, it was a local move within the same general area, and also required emptying out a storage locker. The crew came with 7 movers, everything went as expected, the move went smoothly, everyone was polite and worked hard, We experienced no damage, they took very good care of everything, ensuring to wrap and tape everything from an expensive wall unit to an old wooden chair, everything was given the same care, I would recommend this moving company to anyone.

We are planning to sell our home soon, and were looking to freshen up our kitchen to make it more appealing for potential buyers, but still want a quality professional job. I contacted Greg based on the great reviews here on Homestars. Greg is very knowledgeable, he explained the refinishing process. I went away and hired some other professionials to replace the counters and backsplash first, then called him back for the refinishing of the cabinets and doors, he was able to work my job into the busy schedule this time of year, ordered and installed brand new hardware, and refinished and remounted 30+ year old doors, truly giving a fresh look with professional finished quality, would recommend to anyone looking for this kind of work. Greg uses high quality paint products and provided a lot of information about my kitchen that I was not aware of. Thanks. Matt

We were looking to update our kitchen in order to make it look nice to sell our home. I was referred to Tilestars and contacted Dimitri about re-tiling our backsplash, I found him to be very professional and knowledgeable, he recommended a tile product that was both economical and of good quality and appearance. He came promptly to do the installation, and the job was well done and clean. I would recommend Tilestars.

I called Frank at Solutions based on his tv appearances, I had though he would overcharge because of this, but I found his quote to be competitive. It is very easy for electrical work to be done incorrectly, and can be dangerous even if it seems to work. I did not want to take this chance, I watched the crew install the potlights, they ran new lines directly from new breakers, they also took care of getting a permit for this work. The lights they installed are a good quality low voltage light, they look great, and provide a lot of light. The crew was professional and courteous. I would and have recommended them to others.

Dr. Green provided poor lawn care service, I hired them in the spring of 2009 before the snow had melted. In April they did their first visit and put fertilizer down on my lawn, by May the lawn was full of weeds where there had been none in previous years, the weed control products that they used were completely ineffective, as they need to be administered directly to each weed, this was impossible in the 5 minute long visits that they made to my home, I spent hours myself pulling weeds by hand. In June Dr. Green put more fertilzer down on my lawn but in doing so they burnt and killed the grass, leaving a trail up and down the lawn where the technician had walked. I called to complain about the burning, and they sent someone out to investigate, he promised that they would put down seeds to repair the damage, in July they still had not come to do this, so I had to call to remind them, they came, but the grass had started to grow back somewhat already. In August the grubs came out and ate much of my lawn, whatever dr green claimed to have put down to prevent that was ineffective. In September I received a solicitation call about another product they wanted to sell me for a different kind of insect infestation, I politely refused. In September I also canceled my service with them, even though they were supposed to come one more time which I had already payed for, but I felt it was not worth it, I did not want them to damage my lawn any further. I hope I can find another company next year that can repair the damage dr. green had done to my lawn. Also the operator on their telephone number was often rude, or indifferent when taking customer complaints. I wish I would have read the dozens of horrible reviews of this company online before signing up with them.
