9/10

I was very pleased with the new roof installed by Jason and crew over our 100 year old downtown rowhouse. They showed up with a large crew and finished the job in 2 and a half days despite uncovering serious problems with the condition and slope of the roof decking. At the end there was an additional charge of $1,800 to install new 1/2" plywood sheathing across almost the entire roof, which seemed reasonable due to the extra time and materials. It took some time initially to get a quote from Jason but after we signed the contract the work was scheduled a few weeks later and the crew showed up when they said they would. Canadian Roofing was recommended by neighbours and highly recommended on this site and I was not disappointed with the quality of workmanship, professionalism and overall cleanliness of the crew. I didn't need to do any additional clean-up after the job was done, the crew left everything just the way they'd found it. I also appreciated that the on-site foreman took the time to explain the progress of the job and answer my questions. We actually inspected the condition of the roof deck together after the old roofing was removed. I would recommend that every homeowner make an effort to get up on the roof, inspect the condition of decking and ask as many questions about the overall job as they can while the work is underway. After some initial struggles pricing and scheduling the job I was happy with the work done by Canadian Roofing and would happily recommend them.

I hired Craftwood Flooring after the reviews on this site. On the day the work was scheduled to start no one showed up. The next day one guy showed up and he didn't speak English. I had asked Scott to be there so I could point out some details of the job, he did not show up. I don't believe Scott ever visited the job after providing the initial quote, despite my complaints about the quality of work and my repeated requests for a meeting on site. For every complaint there was an excuse. The work was supposed to take a couple of days, it took 5. The stairs were not properly sanded so the surface is rough. For this reason the stain did not adhere evenly and looks terrible. I was told that this is because the material is pine. The gaps and crevices in the old floor were filled after the stain was applied so you can clearly see the wood filler. The area was not properly cleaned before the eurythane was applied so there is dust and debris in the eurythane surface. In one area of the living room there was a big puddle of eurythane. They tried to fix it but made it look worse. Overall the quality of workmanship was poor. When I complained I was told "they're a good crew" and that he would send them back tomorrow. They made some efforts to correct the problems but it still looks like crap. I would not recommend this company.

Gary and the guys at Northwood were terrific to work with. They replaced all of the HVAC in our house in less than three days and greatly improved the air circulation in our house. Our new furnace is working well and the tankless water heater was a great idea.

We are very happy with the new windows and doors installed by EuroSeal. No more drafts! Everything opens and closes nicely. The installers did a nice job of finishing around openings. With any luck we will receive an ecoenergy grant to cover part of the cost.

Kevin and his crew repaired the plaster and installed new drywall through-out most of my house and basement apartment. We were amazed by how nicely they were able to repair the old plaster and lath (using thin drywall). They made our walls and ceilings look straight and square despite the studs and joists that were out of plumb. In the basement they made a beautiful curved bulkhead out of an ugly heating run. On time and a pleasure to work with.

We are renovating a 100 year old house to add a second bathroom and a basement apartment. As we looked at the state of the drains we decided to replace all of the plumbing in the house as well as the drain connection outside. We wanted to make sure the work was done roperly so we have no problems in the future. ExpressRooter is a fantastic company to work with. They finished the work promptly. The quality of work was fantastic. Adam even helped me layout the basement bathroom. This company is the definition of professionalism and quality workmanship
