We hired Floorwood Solutions to install new hardwood flooring on the 3rd floor of our house, including two bedroom and a hallway, and we're thrilled with the results. One complicating factor of our job was the need to tie in with the trim at the base of the handrail. The old vinyl flooring was much thinner so the new hardwood would have ended up being higher than the trim. Although this stumped some of the contractors that bid on the job, from his initial visit, Robert described in detail how he would handle the problem and the new flooring ended up perfectly flush with the base of the handrail. Following Patricia's advice, we selected 1/4 sawn hand scraped 5" Hickory in Old Mission. Despite the narrow corridor and smallish rooms, Patricia explained how the thicker planks can actually open things up and make a small space feel roomier. She was right and we love the results. Robert and Darek worked incredibly hard through a heat wave at the end of May, cutting all of the boards outside (to keep the dust down) and going up and down two flights of stairs without complaint. Their skill and craftsmanship is absolutely superb. Some challenges and surprises arose once the vinyl tiling was removed -uneven subfloors and damaged planks - but they handled it all with ease. At the end of the job, they even made the extra effort to repair the cracked treads on a couple of stairs at no additional charge for which we are very grateful. The floors look amazing and we couldn't be happier with the results. We wouldn't hesitate to hire Floorwood Solutions again and highly recommend them. Thank you Patricia, Robert and Darek ... it was truly a pleasure doing business with you!

We found Sobol Inc through Homestars and couldn't be happier with the job they did replacing almost all of the windows in our 3 storey home. Archie was always very patient and willing to explain the details of the window installation. I e-mailed Archie many times with questions and he always provided prompt and courteous replies. We had an original 90+ year old stained glass window in the front of the house which I wanted to have inserted between two panes of glass in a fixed window above a single-hung window below. All of the other contractors that quoted on the job said they couldn't do it and encouraged me to simply hang the stained glass in a frame in front of the window, which would have interfered with raising the window below. Archie went out of his way to make it work and hand delivered the stained glass to a separate company who prepared the window insert. It was completed the week after Archie had finished replacing the rest of our windows. Archie came after hours to install it himself and we are thrilled with the results. Archie and his crew were very hardworking, clean and efficient and managed to complete the work within 3 days. I highly highly recommend Sobol Inc and have already done so to many of my friends, neighbours and colleagues. I wouldn't hesitate to use them again in the future. Archie is amazing!!
