KMac in the GTA

Egor arrived early and reviewed the steps that he would take to complete the job (i.e., switch the fridge door to the other side, then remove the old dishwasher, etc.) We had three new applicances to install in a a pretty tight space. Egor was friendly and efficient and made sure that we were satisfied with everything before he headed off to his next job. He really seems to enjoy his job and engaging with new people. Prices were reasonable and his manner was friendly and professional. Highly recommended.

As the sticky summer weather settled in this July, it became clear that our 15 year old air conditioner and furnace were pretty much done. We researched four or five companies, including Convertible, that were either recommended by friends and family or received favourable reviews on HomeStars. When I called Convertible, I reached Chris and he agreed to come out the next day to have a look at our heating and cooling needs and give us a quote. Within 30 minutes of his arrival at our home, he had assessed the situation and provided some solid recommendations. Although I called around for three or four other quotes, Convertible had the best price. Chris also detailed the various rebates that are available through Enbridge and set up an energy audit with the Home Inspectors Group. The following Monday, a fabulous crew (Rick, Mike and Jessie) showed up on time and worked tirelessly to get everything installed and working within the promised two day time frame. They were personable, hard working, and professional. Rick spent at least half an hour explaining the new equipment and even provided his cell phone no. in case any issues came up after they left. As I write this review, the air conditioning is working like a charm and the tankless water heater is serving up hot water on demand. I would definitely recommend Convertible for your Heating/Cooling/Water Heater needs.

I'm always so careful when hiring movers, handymen, plumbers, etc because you hear so many horror stories. When we realized that we had some work to do this summer, I turned to Homestars because we had a good experience with a moving company that we found here (Fireman movers). Dan the Handyman had the best reviews by far -- the clincher was when a colleague explained that he contacted Dan for a kitchen renovation but that Frank had taken over much of his business in the GTA. We happened to see the finished job on their kitchen -- it was beautiful. Of course, we didn't hesitate to contact Frank for our odd jobs, realizing that a good handyman is worth his weight in gold. No suprises here -- Frank showed up on time today, disconnected our downspouts skillfully, and was a complete pleasure to have in our home. We will be contacting him again for our next jobs!

I’m sorry that it’s taken us three weeks to post the testimonial about our moving day (August 24). Unfortunately, our internet provider wasn’t quite as efficient at getting us connected as Firemen Movers were in getting us moved into our new place!!I read it here but didn’t believe it: the knock at the door at 20 minutes to 9 (for our scheduled 9 o’clock start time) was of course Matt, Zack, and Dave, ready to get started on the big day! These guys were courteous, motivated, and unbelievably fit. At one point, Dave came around the corner with our four winter tires (I carry one at the time). Their efforts helped us to get settled in our house by 6 p.m. Pretty excellent considering that we had a second stop at the storage locker. It didn’t hurt that Matt was an expert at driving the moving truck. My suspicions were correct: he drives the fire truck as well! If someone had told us that moving day could actually be fun, I don’t think that we would have believed it! We have told at least a dozen people about our experience with the company. We can’t wait to see the new red trucks on the road! Thanks again for a great day!
