Jacinta in Toronto

I have the unenviable job of clearing out my parents' bungalow. Over many years, they accumulated A LOT OF STUFF. The job seemed overwhelming, but 1 800 Rid Of It came to the rescue. From my first conversation with Vidya, I knew this company was the perfect choice for me. On the day of the removal, Andrew and Kevin arrived in the early part of the agreed time slot and you could not meet two more courteous, polite, professional, and hard working individuals. They immediately got to work and filled their truck in what seemed like no time at all. Thank-you for making my job some much easier!

We contracted Sigma to rewire our 2nd and 3rd floor bedrooms and our 2nd floor bathroom. Piotr and Cas did a fabulous job! Conscientious and meticulous are the best words to describe them. They were able to run the new wiring up from the basement (which is fully finished) with a minimum number of holes -- they even found a way to make the holes as inconspicuous as possible. We are very pleased with the result, and have already hired Sigma for another electrical project. Thank-you, again.

I wanted to replace my bedroom window (with one that I could actually clean) and install a storm door on my basement walkout. I also wanted to replace a very old door leading to my second floor balcony. I called Visage and Dimitry was able to come out the next day. He recommended a sliding door for the second floor balcony. An excellent suggestion! Dimitry was able to work with my schedule to plan the installation, which was done in a single day. The installers were even able to salvage two century-old windows! I'm very happy with the results. A huge thank you to Dimitry, Alex, and the team at Visage!

We live in a 100+ year old semi, and needed new carpeting on our stairs. A visit to the showroom and a couple very informative conversations with George convinced us that Kingsway Carpets and Blinds was the right choice for us. We chose a beautiful textured wool and it was installed in a single day. This might not sound like such a lofty feat, but the staircases in our home are not straight runs, but have multiple landings. Add in the fact that nothing is level in this old house and you have a real installation challenge. Thanks to George's careful measurements (he came back to double check just before the binding was added to the runner) meant everything worked out perfectly. We are extremely pleased with the carpet, with the installation, and with our experience with Kingsway Carpet.

Got a chimney in need of repair? Don't waste another minute -- contact Straight Up Masonry right now. We had to have our chimney rebuilt and Tony and his crew did a fantastic job! The house is a semi, so the chimney's shared. Plus the house is 100+ years old, with a pitched roof. No problem for Straight Up Masonry. Tony and his crew arrived early, completed the work in one day, and left our front garden exactly the way it was when they arrived. Knowledgeable, skilled, and very professional throughout the entire project. I could not have asked for a better match on the bricks -- no mean feat when you consider the age of the house. We're thrilled with the result.

After suffering through hot summers the last few years, we decided to have ductless air conditioning units installed in the bedrooms on the second and third floors of our 100+ year old house. Paul and his crew arrived at 10 am and were done by 5 pm. They left our house exactly as they found it, even vacuuming up before leaving. I'm actually looking forward to the summer now. Thanks, Paul!

Have a flat roof? Live in an older part of Toronto (with 3 storey homes, built close together)? Then call Rosman Roofing. Jake is the owner and oversees every project himself. He arrived with his crew on time, completed the job in a single day, and left our property neat and tidy. An excellent experience all around. And a new roof to boot!

We have radiant flooring in our kitchen and the pump needed replacement. I contacted Mica, based on the reviews in Homestars, and I am so glad I did. Mica's owner, Paul, provided excellent customer care, even before the installers showed up to replace the pump. Mica was able to fit my job into their schedule, and my kitchen floor is now nice and warm. Before leaving, the installers gave me great advice about changes I could do myself to improve the efficiency of my entire boiler and radiator system. I highly recommend Mica and will definitely call on them in future.
