Called 3 different companies for a quote to remove two undersize maples, some smaller cedars, cut neighbours overhanging oak and prune two large spruce trees above my roof and creating a huge mess in my eavestrough. I chose Toronto Tree Removal for their friendliness and competitive quote and a quick timeline. Hilary and his crew were very punctual, polite and professional. They did an excellent job and would highly recommend them for any tree services.

Our AC unit and furnace stopped working on one of the hottest days, called controlled comfort air and they were able to send someone as soon as possible. Tito the technician from the Mississauga location was awesome, very professional and knowledgeable. He fixed the problem asap and was very honest, also gave a few tips on my central humidifier. Would definetly recommend.

Our water tank had a leak so I called Cosmo based on the reviews in Homestars, the person on the phone was very helpful and did everything they could to get me a new tank. They came asap on a weekend and installed my new water tank and took the old one away. Very professional and done in a timely manner. So happy to have hot water again! I would recommend Cosmopolitan Mechanical Services Inc to anyone.

We had our front porch done by Stonecote in the summer and it looks great. The guys were very professional and the aggregate stone they layed down has been very durable so far. Would recommend Stonecote Texturock to anyone.

Dorge, Really glad this one came together. So often we meet people for the quote and then never hear back at all from them. To get your call a year later to come do the work felt great, and you were so easy to work with. All the best for the New year! Texturock By Stonecote Inc.

Had most of the windows replaced in our home by Brock, they did an excellent job. Very professional and thorough. Best part of dealing with Brock was Kevin the sales rep who was amazing and very easy going. Helped us immensely when needed. Only wished I knew the window ledge was too narrow for installing california shutters.

Had my attic R value increased to R50 from R20. Zdenek and his assistant were very punctual. Prep work was good (laying cloth down and covering the closet with plastic). However, the front door was open, b/c of the hose, the whole time. They should have covered the opening with a cloth or something to prevent heat loss. Also, charges extra for baffles (20 for $50) and did not staple them to the roof between rafters. Also had to remind them to insulate the attic cover. Which they did with some old fiberglass batting. Did not weatherstrip the attic opening even though they said they would. Used the 120 dryer plug to operate their blower, no problem, but please move the dryer and washer back the way you found it after you're done! Overall, the price seemed fair but hard to believe a company that claims to be around for 16yrs overlooks all these details. Bottomline: I would recommend this company but they should take a little more care & time in doing the job right.

At Zenic Insulation, we strive to provide the best service possible for our customers. It is unfortunate that we haven’t exceeded your expectations.
As you may be aware, it is required to run a hose through your house from the outside. This being said, we do require an opening into your house (door or window) that is at least 3”. Although you may lose a small amount of heat through the opening, adding a cloth or cover would provide very little in mitigating this heat loss, as it would not provide a sufficient seal anyway. And since the jobs require us to move in and out for set up and tear down, having the door opened a crack for an hour or so is very little cause for concern. For future reference, if losing a bit of heat from the openings is an issue, we suggest turning the furnace down, or off and restarting it when the job is finished.
Yes, baffles are an extra charge. As many homes already have baffles pre-installed, this is an extra service we provide. It is imperative to have proper ventilation in your attic, as the lack of it would run you into moisture, rot, and mold problems, which could be harmful to the residents inside and could burden the homeowner with substantial repair and cleaning costs. So $50 is a small price to have these installed.
Every house that is insulated by us is fitted with a weather-stripped and insulated access hatch free of charge. Even if the door has old weather-strip, we’ll still replace it. And as it is a free service that is provided at every job, we appreciate the reminder.
We have been in the business for over 16 years and provide a service that often exceeds the expectations of our customers. Since every home and every customer is unique, we do our best to provide everyone with excellent service.

Andrew and his crew came by and removed the old grass and re-sodded the front lawn. Very quick and efficient and was a pleasure working with them. Grass looks amazing now and the price was more than reasonable. Would definitely recommend them to anyone and would certainly use them again.

Searched Homestars and called Northwood to take a look at our a/c unit since it wasn't blowing cold air. John the technician came by who found a leak in our coil. Decided not to replace the coil since the a/c unit was fairly old and on its last legs. After interviewing a few quotes to replace the a/c and for a new high efficiency furnace, decided on Northwood based on John's professionalism and Gary's knowledge and recommendations on how to run the venting according to code. The price was competitive for a quality brand name a/c and furnace (York). The installation was top notch and was what made me happy that I chose Northwood. Santos is a master at what he does with the help of his assistant George. Santos made sure every detail was taken care of and even fixed my central humidifier. I asked if they could help put a blanket around my water heater and they said no problem. Santos and George went above and beyond my expectations. They placed down tarps everywhere and swept the area spotless afterwards. I would highly recommend Northwood to anyone looking for quality and peace of mind. Will definitely have to call Gary back when its time to go tankless! By the way the soap bottle is at my house. LEAFS RULE!
