I'm so glad I found Quality First Roofing. Like many others dealing with roof issues in Toronto this summer, I tried to contact dozens of roofing companies when my roof started leaking. Some said it would be 2 weeks before they could even call me back to get my info, some said the soonest they could do any work would be in 2 months (even though I was looking for a short-term emergency solution like a tarp, before doing the full replacement), and some websites said they were not taking any new customers at this time so don't bother calling. Michael at Qualify First called me back the same day and even though he was also extremely busy, he managed to come the next evening after he finished another job to cover my roof with a tarp. For the roof replacement, he was also booked 2 months in advance, but he asked his crew if they would fit me in on a weekend. They agreed and came that weekend. It was such a relief. Everything was repaired and replaced before the next rain storm. And the crew was very careful about debris and cleaning up - my yard is very small (I have a small semi) and I asked them to be sure not to get any debris on my neighbour's part of the yard. They were great and kept everything on my little patch of yard.

I was really happy with Energy Crew. I had read some negative reviews about them and so I had concerns about the crew going too slowly, charging a surprise stair fee on the day of the move, and the carpets getting dirty (the place we were moving out of had a lot of carpeting). So I asked Trey about these things and he said there is a stair fee for a certain amount of stairs, but because it was not included in the quote provided to me, it would be waived. He also said that it's standard for them to use runners to protect carpet. And the guys actually took less time than what was quoted to me and so the amount I paid was actually less than the quote (because the only minimum is the first hour). I'm glad I went with them because it worked out well and their prices were the best that I could find.

I highly recommend Aida Sara. I hired her for a one-time deep clean of a house before we moved in. We had a number of other contractors working at the house at the same time (electrical, plaster, paint, floors) and a small window of time before our move-in date. Aida was very flexible, working around the other contractor's schedules, and coming to our house on 3 different days to fit in all of the cleaning. And she did an excellent job. I was so happy that she was able to remove the oil-type residue that was baked onto the doors of the kitchen cabinets and other surfaces in the kitchen (I've encountered a similar residue in kitchens before and not been able to get it off myself). She also insisted that if I have a concern with any of her work, to tell her and she will come back and re-clean it. But there's no concern. I decided to hire her to come back on a monthly basis.
