Ralph and Vito had previously done fencing for several properties in our neighborhood so we called them for a quotation. We already knew that they did great work and were pleasantly surprised that their pricing was lower than the other quotes. They did the work very quickly, cleaned up after themselves and made sure that the job was done right. They even told us where to order the gravel underpad ourselves to save us some money. I would not hesitate to strongly recommend them for your fencing and decking needs.

It is probably not accurate to call Ton Furniture a retailer - Andy Sedlak is more of a factory sales representative in that he primarily sells the products of Dreamstar Bedding Ltd. And he does so at great prices! He showed us the various products that fit within our needs and parameters and made us try each one out before letting us choose which model we wanted. Of course, purchasing a mattress from Andy does not give one the option to try it out and then return it after 30 or 90 days if one is at all dissatisfied with it. But considering the great price, we were committed to it such that returning it would not be a consideration. My only complaint is that it was difficult to find Ton Furniture on the internet and so I wasted time checking out other Mattress Retailers before I found Andy! Andy personally delivered the mattress and who else can say that their mattress was delivered on the very day that it was manufactured in the factory?! While I hope that I will not be in need a new mattress for a long time, I would strongly recommend to family and friends who are looking for a mattress to check out Ton Furniture and Andy Sedlak!

Adjustable Beds Plus carries the most complete line of adjustable beds in the GTA. While most mattress stores only carry one or two lines with only one or two models, Adjustable Beds Plus carries 9 different models and so allows the buyer to choose between various models by each manufacturer. Michael was excellent at explaining the pros and cons and features of each model to enable us to make an informed decision. His prices were competitive with on-line prices but with the added benefit of having the bed properly delivered and set up. He took personal interest in ensuring that our purchase was completely satisfactory. If you are looking for an adjustable bed, check out Adjustable Beds Plus before agreeing to anything from a mattress store. You won't be sorry.

My two gas fireplaces had not been properly serviced in years - one was working and the other was not. Imran accommodated my schedule and came on a Sunday afternoon. The best way for me to describe Imran's work is that he takes pride of workmanship even if that means fixing something that a predecessor did incorrectly. When he left both fireplaces looked and operated as they did when they were brand new. (Actually, they looked better than when they were installed!) I will definitely be calling Imran to do the annual servicing that I have previously neglected.

We didn't know what we wanted except that we wanted to get rid of our dropped ceiling with fluorescent tubes behind it. The people at Panet Lighting were (all of them) VERY helpful explaining several options that we could try including fixtures, bulbs, technology (LED vs Halogen vs compact fluorescents), even colour. Their prices were better than our electrician could get from his supplier and the brands were completely acceptable to him. They even gave me an unrequested discount! Sure there are lots of lighting stores in this neighborhood, but Panet Lighting is head and shoulders above their competition! And when I was looking for something that they didn't carry, they didn't hesitate to refer me to a place that did have it (altho it turns out that they didn't have it, yet).

We started with Hamid Nili at CanStone - he gave us an excellent initial price for a granite countertop with a marble backsplash and new sink and faucet. As the project progressed, there were price increases due to needing a 2nd slab of granite, the backsplash was more extensive than originally envisioned (i.e. behind the range and fridge) and an upgraded faucet. But these increases were all reasonable and very incremental. Hamid recommended someone to do the cabinet renewal and coordinated his part of the project with him. He was also extremely responsive when I had a last minute change of heart and bent over backwards to accommodate me. All in all, from planning to completion the renovation was finished in 5 weeks.

Called Handyman Matters to help me install a ceiling fan properly and to move some switches from one wall to another. The fellow that they sent was a certified electrician so I was comfortable knowing that the job was being done properly and according to code. Getting up in the attic (among the insulation) was a messy job so I was glad to have someone else do it for me. He even accompanied me to Home Depot (off the clock) to purchase the proper parts. Although he was unable to solve one of the problems, I was very happy at the successes that we were able to achieve. I found that this was money well spent.

Randy provided the 2nd lowest quote. (The lowest was from Alpine Roofing, but they used CRC shingles and it was suggested that IKO and CRC had had quality issues in the past and should be avoided.) Other quotes (from Avenue Road Roofing, Better Contracting and Let it Rain were $2,500 to $3,700 higher. We went for the Certainteed Landmark 40 year shingles and they look great. The crew arrived on time and worked all day. Clean up was done immaculately and everything was hauled away in their trailer. The small portion that was incomplete was finished the very next day by one guy. My only disappointment was that they only left me one sign to promote their work. I would gladly have left up one of their signs on my lawn for the whole summer because I was very happy with the job that they did.

When the spring on one of my 24 year old garage doors broke, I figured it was time to replace both doors instead of just having the spring repaired (and then having to replace the doors in a couple of years). I obtained quotes from 4 suppliers and Royal's was 25% less than all the rest. Also, their product seemed to be a bit better than the competition (Wayne Dalton rather than Cloplay) and Brad, who provided the quote, told me that my old openers were still working so it really wasn't necessary to replace them now. i.e. he didn't try to upsell me unnecessarily. The young "kids" (20 somethings) who did the installation really knew what they were doing. They were especially well organized (probably have done hundreds of installations), were efficient and really hustled so they finished the job done in a little more than an hour. They also cleaned up the site (although, I did find one loose screw on the ground that could have caused a problem if run over by a tire). Finally the guy came today to install the aluminum capping around the frame. I must say that the finished product looks magnificent. So far (knock on wood), my experience Royal Overhead Doors has been PERFECT and I would strongly recommend them to others who are in need of a garage door supplier.
