We moved into our new (to us) midcentury Oshawa home last summer and needed to replace our front door, side/garage entry door, and back doors immediately. Robert consulted with us right away, gave us competitive--not low, but competitive--pricing and a realistic timeline. We had other quotes but it was clear we were going with QHI, and I am so glad we did. We upgraded from banged-up ugly worn-out doors to modern, light-filled, and stylish ones, that updated but kept the spirit of our 1960s home. In the spring, there was no question we would go with QHI to replace the huge single-pane front window that had not been updated since 1970. Again, Robert gave us beautiful and energy efficient options; when Peter, the amazing installer, came just this week, they went in with no issues and they were even better than we'd imagined. Top stars all round. Thank you QHI. This is a fantastic, responsive, and well-resourced local company that anyone wanting doors/windows in Oshawa should consult.

We recently moved into an older home that's needed a lot of love. Last week, with all the spring rain, I came back home to see our ancient eavestroughing had finally busted and water was pouring down the exterior front and against our foundations. I got onto Homestars right away, looked up Colin's high reviews, and called - he was there for a look-see in an hour, and in a day his team was on site for a full replacement of the eaves along with digging two new trenches (in the back), new and improved downspout placements, and rainbarrel additions. I was so grateful for Colin's professionalism, "can do" attitude, willingness to see my vision for the rainbarrels and our garden - and that he and the team could come so quickly, and stick to the quoted amount was really impressive. I will echo everyone here by saying you will be VERY PLEASED by getting Colin and his team to look after your eaves. He was super responsive and wonderful to work with. While I hope it doesn't have to happen for a little while, ha ha, I will be calling Colin for future roofing issues and repairs no question.

Celeste and Vic have been a godsend. My partner and I moved into a 1960s home in Oshawa last summer and we quickly discovered it had a number of plumbing related issues - including, first, a leaking water main pipe that was "original" to the house. Celeste came immediately to attend to this emergency, fixed a difficult issue under high pressure, and did so with total professionalism and cool (this matters in a plumber - IYKYK). We have since had Celeste and Vic come back for a number of other issues, including water softener/RO installation, toilet leak, things like that. Each time, and I mean this honestly, my partner and I are happy to see them - Two Bros is an "above and beyond" plumber and I actually feel lucky and relieved to have them in our contacts. (I hope Celeste and Vic feel the same way!) You will not regret hiring this excellent team: totally professional, reassuring, responsive, respectful, and well priced. Thank you Celeste and Vic. Also: we love their new truck decal :) Hire them and find out what I mean, lol.

Ryan and his team were fantastic. Last summer my partner and I just moved to our new (to us) but old-ish (built 1960) home that needed a lot of TLC - including a total attic restoration and insulation replacement. Ryan was incredibly prompt with returning a request for more info on the job, provided a very competitive quote, and completed the (gross and difficult) job with total professionalism. His team left the place immaculate, and I would enthusiastically recommend Brooklin Insulation to anyone looking to improve their home comfort. Also, BI's service was easy to coordinate with the Canada Greener Homes Grant, so if you're considering that opportunity Ryan is very familiar with the paperwork needed to enable your application to that grant program. Thank you Ryan for such a positive experience: you and your guys went above and beyond.

We moved into a new (to us) house that needed a lot of love - holes in the walls, popcorn ceilings, and dark dingy DIY painted walls all throughout the ~1500 square foot ground floor. After doing extensive research into painting companies in the Oshawa area, there was no question we would go with Emerald. Cam and the team were professional; on time; dedicated to the job (even coming in on a Sunday, on their own accord, to coordinate their completion timeline with another job we had to do); and the quote was very close to our final amount. The quality of the paintjob was excellent, and the removal of our popcorn ceilings really transformed our "new" 1970 home. We will be calling on Cam and the team to come again for our next paint adventure. Thanks Emerald for such a great job. We are grateful to each member of your team!

I have called Valentin Several times over the past few years, every time there is a plumbing issue in my condo that I need resolved quickly and with total confidence. Strong plumbing is the only company I would call to ensure that this work is done quickly, courteously, and with the highest level of professionalism. This time it was a old toilet that needed replacement. Valentine installed it, and removed the old one quickly and efficiently. I strongly recommend this plumber, especially if you are in a downtown or condo location. Thank you Mr Valentin!!

Moe and his team Nima, Ash, and David did an amazing job installing a long-overdue chandelier-style fixture in our two-storey condo. They installed new wiring and switches, and put in two new potlights. Their work has completely transformed our home! I can't believe we didn't do this sooner - and if you need work like this done then I highly recommend QP. Clean, reliable, quick and polite. Thank you for making our home even better!

1) After I sent a text message via the Homesteads site, Mr Valentin contacted me about my kitchen sink trap problem (it had completely corroded and needed replacement). After asking for a photo of the problem, he determined the part he needed and even cleared some time that same morning to fix the problem. Mr Valentin was exceptionally courteous, professional, and best of all fixed the problem! He even gave me some advice about the potential problems with my aging kitchen sink tap (what would be a good replacement in the future). After he had finished this job, I asked him for his advice on replacing a toilet to which he gave very useful response--a job I'll be calling him back to do as soon as I purchase that item. If you have a plumbing problem call Mr Valentin. I know I won't be calling anyone else! 2) This is our second wonderful experience with Mr Valentin. After our experience with his replacing the corroded trap on our kitchen sink, there was no question that we would call him back to install a new toilet purchased for our condo. Mr Valentin was immediately available to come and install the toilet, and beforehand even gave a great recommendation for a model that would be ideal for our home. On the day he was punctual, professional, and a pleasure to have in our home. I cannot recommend him more highly. His workmanship is excellent: very thorough and thoughtful (he showed us that a part of the internal plumbing was corroding, and replaced it along with the toilet). Especially if you are downtown--where good and trustworthy plumbers are difficult to come by--hire this man. There is no question we'll be calling him for future jobs.

I called Atiar shortly after my General Electric washing machine (about 12 years old) began gushing water and overflowing. The same day he came to service the machine and did so efficiently, honestly, and for a very reasonable price. Other highly rated appliance repair companies don't come to downtown Toronto (I'm at the King and Bathurst area) so ESPECIALLY IF YOU ARE DOWNTOWN I would STRONGLY RECOMMEND that you call Atiar for any job. Friendly, extremely professional, fair pricing, and happy to explain the problem - he even showed me the broken piece in the machine (it was the pressure valve) to indicate exactly what the problem was. The machine works perfectly again. Having had poor experiences with other tradespeople in the past, I was simply delighted to have Atiar fix the machine so quickly and with such professionalism. There is no question that I'll be calling him again for any appliance issues I have in the future. THANKS ATIAR!
