One side danger of a gentrifying and renovation heavy area - MICE. I found evidence of a mouse just yesterday and called Gancy today. He was at my house by 4 p.m.! My husband and I had toyed with the idea of setting our own traps but, with 2 little kids in the house, feel so relieved that we didn't. Gancy has a background in chemical engineering and has studied biology and pest behaviour. He took time to listen and observe our household and made recommendations that I truly believe he would do in his own. I have to say, never having had an urban mouse in my house issue, Gancy made me feel satisfied and secure and I can now open my cupboard again without feeling like Carol from The Walking Dead. He set these mice buffets in the necessary places to kill them and mummify their bodies so you may never see or smell them again and, after a few weeks, assured me he would come back as often as necessary. I am just so impressed and grateful. He had even identified the entry point by the time he knocked on my door! Highly, highly recommend.

We hired Ewen after our first meeting, just a month after moving into our first home. He showed up on the job immediately after the holidays and met all of his deadlines. It's now been over six months since he finished new baseboards, doorway framing, window trim and a brand new banister and we still enjoy showing off to company. He was so helpful and willing to work with us, giving us helpful tips, advice when asked and doing everything we asked of him while trying to make things easier for us along the way. At the end of the job, he didn't charge a penny more than he quoted. Having now worked with a number of other contractors, I can honestly say that I wish they all took a training course with Ewen. He treated us like neighbours, showed respect for our time and he's a wiz with anything wood! We'll gladly hire him to finish the place off once we save enough for another project!
