Michael did a house inspection on a new build house for us before our purchase conditions expired. We were very thankful that he did, as it uncovered a significant amount of issues and a general theme of quality concerns with the build. His check was thorough, very informative, and provided honest feedback about his thoughts. The report was generated very quickly and the overall experience was very positive.

Got a few quotes to replace the gutters and downspouts around my house, BK Roofing was one of the companies that came to quote my house on the same day. Simon came by to look at the house, provide recommendations, and also offered a fast turn around time. His quote was more than fair and he provided recommendations on what costs were unnecessary to save some money. His team came a few days later and efficiently removed and replaced my gutters, while adding two additional downspouts to improve drainage. His team was pleasant to interact with and also cleaned up after themselves at the end of the job. We discovered a small leak caused by a heavy rainstorm before the gutter caulking cured and his team promptly came to re-seal the area, giving me confidence they stand behind their work. Overall a pleasant experience for a not-so-exciting job to maintain the house. Thanks!

Replaced all of my old windows throughout the home (about 20 windows) with Vinylbilt windows in a brick-to-brick installation. Tony from Ambia came to give us the quote and was extremely detailed in explaining the installation process, the types of windows available, color options, and what to expect (in terms of work involved, timeline, end product expectations, considerations when selecting windows, and work required on the homeowners end). Overall the quote process was very smooth and the quotes received really show that a degree of time was spent on preparation. We got a mix of picture windows, sliders, and casement windows installed; only regret was not getting more casement windows. The windows were ready for installation a lot faster than I anticipated, approx. 5 weeks after ordering. Kyle was the installer and with his team, did a great job installing the windows. He was also very accommodating to our requests and walked through what he did - giving us options for certain parts of the installation. Although the installation took a few days longer than expected, I appreciate the time he spent to not rush through the project, including adding in jambs on site to ensure our existing shutters can be installed back in if we wanted to. He also did a great job cleaning up the job site after he finished. Few things to expect for Brick to Brick installations which they also noted in advance: you will likely have to paint your own window jambs/frames after installation and there may be paint touch ups required on the wall surrounding the windows. Overall happy with the quality of windows and installation. The price point was in the middle of the range we got quoted amongst 5 companies.

We had Mustafa come to remove popcorn ceiling throughout our home. We asked a few companies on HomeStars to quote us and picked Stucco Master as Mustafa took the most time to explain to us the process, had competitive prices, and was not only the owner/negotiated jobs, but also the one that actually did the job. We are incredibly satisfied with his work, with the following highlights: > Knowing that we were entering into a long reno phase, Mustafa took the initiative to help us cover the flooring throughout the house and also offered to loan us his lockbox (which has been extremely handy). > He was very flexible with timing. As we were coordinating many projects at once, we had to ask him to delay for a week to squeeze another project in; he was extremely accommodating. > Mustafa really cares about doing a good job, ensuring that all ceiling work performed looked perfect, at all times of the day / light conditions. Where I thought the ceiling already looked fine, he found flaws and corrected them. > What really impressed us was his willingness to look out for our best interests. We had removed a few older potlights and also had rooms where the ceiling was flat. To ensure the whole house looked great, he helped us patch the old potlight holes and repaint the smooth ceilings to ensure that everything matched, all after we locked in the project price. Overall I'd highly recommend Mustafa for any popcorn ceiling removal jobs. For those looking to get their ceilings smoothed, here are a few of my tips: 1) Get the potlights and any other ceiling work done first; this will ensure the ceiling will stay pristine after the job is done. 2) Popcorn ceiling removal is extremely messy and dusty job, no matter how much things are covered and cleaned up. If you can, do the project before moving in and painting walls. 3) The project shouldn't be rushed. Multiple coats need to be applied and we were more than happy to accommodate to the job timeline.

Hossein and his team arrived at my newly purchased house on a Sunday morning to accommodate my timing to install approximately 45 LED potlights on the first/second floor. Right off the bat, it was clear the team knew what they were doing, working seamlessly with each other while still catering to my questions and needs. Hossein was great at providing me with advice on where to place the potlights and how many we need. He ensured that I was comfortable with the potlight placements before starting. Additionally, he was extremely accommodating of my requests to either have less or more potlights in certain rooms. The team ensured that all work areas were covered and cleaned up after the project was done. As an added plus, he helped me resolve some minor electrical issues I had with my existing switches at no cost. His team tested to ensure all installations were working and finished the lights by mid-afternoon. What really highlighted the experience for me was his dedication to have the job done right - not just to maximize his sales. As we are renovating our kitchen, he offered to come back at a later date after our kitchen was installed to ensure that the installed lights will line-up with the kitchen layout. I would definitely recommend Potlight Expert to any homeowners looking to brighten up their home or replace their potlights and will be calling him back to complete our kitchen lighting.
