I got 3 quotes to replace all the windows in my house, including from the company that replaced windows in my previous house. Window Seal West was able to explain and show the quality of their product. Their price was also very competitive. It was an easy decision. Once the windows were made they installed all 18 in 2 days. The installers explained things along the way, but I underestimated how much dust there would be. We're very happy with how our new windows look.

We bought a house with a wood burning fireplace. We had never had one before, and some questionable maintenance in the house made us worry about the condition of the fireplace. Jerry inspected the fireplace and showed us what to watch out for in the future. He also took the time to answer questions about use and maintenance. We're very happy with the service and will go back to Calgary Chimney Sweeps when we need the fireplace cleaned... after many worry-free fires.

We had used Reliance to install AC at a previous home, so we asked for a quote from them when installing AC and replacing the old furnace in our current house. Daniel MacDougall worked with us to find the right products. The products, warranty and price were all better than the other companies that quoted. Installation was very professional and the result looks good and works great.

We've had Mike do three home inspections, and if we ever move again (hopefully we don't) we will hire Mike again. He is knowledgeable, independent, and patient. In every inspection, he pointed out potential issues that we're very glad to know about. We lived in the first house he inspected for us for 8 years. The things he said would be issues (roof, insulation and electrical come to mind), turned out to be issues. The stuff he wasn't worried about (a crack in the foundation!) turned out to be non-issues. How do I know he's independent? Ask yourself if the inspector referred by your realtor would use the word "dilapidated" in their report, recommend major replacements "immediately", and identify a fire hazard ultimately caused by inadequate cleaning. They wouldn't, because the realtor referrals would dry up after a report like that kills the realtor's commission on a deal. I have seen that Mike will give you an honest opinion about the property's condition. He's patient. He explains what he's doing and what he finds - good or bad. He even took extra time to answer some questions that were outside the scope of the inspection, but were important to our decision to buy or not. And if that weren't enough, you get him as a free consultant after. I highly recommend Buyer's Edge.
