Jason and his team were a breath of fresh air (pun intended). We planned an extensive renovation on a 60-year-old house. And we were aiming to do it all within one month. Greenlife was able to step in quickly and get the work done fast. When planning the reno, we knew asbestos was a risk. So, we tested the home. It came back positive in the linoleum tiles and drywall compound. We were disappointed but determined to solve this. We contacted a couple of companies. When I called Greenlife at 7pm, I explained everything, including our desire to deal with this quickly. Jason met me at 8pm onsite and quoted a very reasonable cost. Plus, he had a team available to start the very next day! So we did. I met him onsite at 8:30am. And then I realized I needed more work done than I initially flagged. Jason was understanding and offered to do the extra work at a very reasonable add-on price. He had me as a captive client but didn't take advantage of my situation. He also kept me in the loop so I knew what was being done and when. His team left the worksite cleaner than they found it. Truly five star service. I highly recommend them for any abatement work. The price is right. The service is amazing. And they have integrity.

Best price for appliances. No upselling. Appreciate it! Quick delivery. And the team was helpful in terms of explaining options.

This is my second time relying on Avi to repair an appliance. Both times he came through without a hitch. And he is affordable. In this instance, my dryer started making a weird noise when drying a full looad of laundry. I called Avi. He asked me to send him the model number of my dryer along with a recording of the sound. He told me he could come as early as this Friday. Of course it's Good Friday, so he offered to come out next week too. But I wanted my dryer fixed. So we agreed to get the work done on Good Friday. He showed up on time with the required part. He opened my dryer and showed me the problem. He explained why it made the noise. And he explained why I needed the new part. I asked him to do more work, for an unrelated reason and he offered me an all-in price that was very competitive. He completed the work with no issues. My dryer dries with no noise. The dryer works great. My clothes feel dry. And I smell great. Okay, I guess you didn't need to know that. It is refreshing to deal with honest, capable professionals Avi is my go-to repair person.

Punctual, professional and practical. What more can you ask for? I had a venting issue with a drain pipe in my kitchen island. I requested service and was given an arrival time of about 8am later in the week. Yes, an actual time, not a window where you spend the whole day waiting and wondering if the plumber will come. Anyway, I'm writing this review because Justin was such a great plumber. He pointed out the problem and explained my options for fixing it. He took the easiest option and did not try to upsell me on service. The problem was fixed in one visit within a couple of hours. By the way, he fixed a problem that was caused by me trying to save money by having a handy man do my plumbing. Lesson learned!

Stay away from this company. I wish I had read the reviews from here beforehand. I called for repair service and was told on the phone that a person would show up at a given time. The visit would cost $80 and the person would diagnose the problem and let me know the cost to repair. I said I had a Whirlpool washing machine that didn't drain. It was also making a weird noise when turned on and made a burning smell, but I didn't mention that. I also said I had an oven who's broiler wasn't turning on. I didn't know the make (I was at work), but I told them I thought it was Electrolux. The repair guy showed up. So I have to give the company 1 star. Everything else was down hill from there. 1. First, he spent 1 minute with my washing machine (didn't try various cycles or cycle changes) and said it wasn't draining and it would cost $280 to fix plus parts. He said he had 80% of the parts in his car. Okay, I said. How much do the parts cost. He couldn't tell me. He said in order to quote the price he would have to order the part. I asked why he had to order the part if he had it in his car? He said he doesn't know the model number of the washing machine so he can't confirm he has that specific part. I then told him I didn't think he looked at the washing machine well enough to know what was wrong. He scoffed. I said the washer makes a weird sound when spinning and doesn't spin fast. He turned the cycle to spin. It spun, albeit slowly, with the weird noise. He turns back to me and said, it's spinning. I explained that it doesn't normally spin like this. He said it's all related to the draining like he said in the first place. $280 plus parts but he can't tell me how much those parts will cost. Hmmm. Okay, let's see if you can help with the oven. He goes to the oven and immediately opens the back. He doesn't turn the oven on to test the broiler. He doesn't look inside the oven for signs of physical damage. He just opens the back and starts tinkering. And he says he knows what's wrong. The signal isn't going to the control board. It's also a $280 job plus parts. If I get both fixed then the second job is reduced to $220. Okay, how much are the parts for this oven? Again, he says, I can't say. There are too many possible parts that may need replacing. Really, I respond. Can you just tell me the most expensive part so I can determine if it's worth it? No. I'd have to order the part. Electrolux has a lot of components. This is where my wife chimes in. Our oven isn't Electrolux. Yes it is, he replies. My wife points to the front of the oven, then why does it have a GE badge? Oh, because He and Electrolux are the same company. So you want me to commit to $500 in labour plus unknown parts costs? You don't even seem to know what's wrong with the oven. He shakes his head. Yes I do. I just told you the control board isn't getting signal. Sorry man, I'm not going to commit to that. So I pay him the $80 and he leaves. I then Google what an Electrolux oven looks like and it doesn't have the GE badge. He was just relying on what I reported without verifying it himself. Now I'm upset. I call the company to complain. I say the repair guy didn't diagnose anything. He just repeated what I reported and wanted me to commit to $500 in labour plus parts with no estime on the parts cost. The manager I spoke to said the $80 is not to diagnose problems. It's to get someone to your house. I said that's not what I was told by the phone dispatcher or the repair guy. The manager said it sounds like miscommunication. Obviously nothing will come of this. As for the epilogue, another repair company came by and fixed both appliances with parts for $350+HST. And in doing so, noticed the thermostat in the oven was disconnected. So had we tried to bake (as opposed to broil) the oven would not have worked. All works now. I suppose that was the Appliance Repair Guys parting gift to me. Stay away.
