I had an old Toronto 2 bedroom semi with old wooden windows that were very drafty and let in neighbourhood noise. Found Sobol on Homestars. Archie came over and measured, we talked about what I wanted. I wanted all new windows except the kitchen. I also wanted bigger living room windows as the old windows were very small. About 10 windows all types were instatted: double hung w/grills in the 2 bedrooms, a slider in the basement, big casements in living and dining, as well as side casements and picture windows for the remaining windows. Emailed estimate, requires a deposit to book the job, which is fair. Clean and courteous, fast and cleaned up after job. House looks great and is quiet and warm now. I would use this company again.

Approximate cost of services:
$6,900.00
Any advice to offer fellow homeowners facing a similar project?
Have an idea of what you want to install, the look of the windows. Drive around your neighbourhood and see what you like. Paying a bit more for nicer windoes like double hung with grills is well worth the investment for windows you will look at for a long time and add curb appeal to your home. Enlarging worked great too in my living room. Much sunnier.

My new plumbing is a work of art, thanks to the professional people at Drainworks and in particular to the expertise of Jeff. I was required to replace all the old galvanized iron pipe in my mid-town Toronto home, circa 1920's. This work included replacing the old water service outside, buried in my lawn. I called Drainworks, they promptly booked an appointment and Jeff arrived the same afternoon to review the work required. He completed the quote, explained what would happen and also answered my questions with patience. This took of some time, as it was a big job. To his credit Jeff made all the real fear I had about starting this process go away, as I had really put it off until I could put it off no longer. The next day, Lou and the crew arrived promptly to replace the old water service. They completed the work by early evening. It was a chilly day to be outside digging down to the water service, and under and through to my basement. They put in the new copper service expertly. Extremely tidy and professional, they took care to dig only where absolutely necessary. The work was inspected the next day as well. I was very happy and relieved. Jeff returned to complete the interior work. I needed a whole range of items to be upgraded to copper and/or new plumbing on all levels of my home. This was accomplished masterfully & professionally, with a lot of focused hard work. And you can tell just by looking - this is skillfully done - it looks amazing and the water pressure has increased significantly! This work is miles better than any previous plumbing work completed in my home. My house has undergone a lot of renovation and still requires a lot more, but at least I have peace of mind that this work is sound. Sincere thanks :) Thank you!
