Front Door

Out of all the renovations we've booked in our home, this was by far the best company we've ever dealt with! They showed up on time, did exactly what they said they would, provided quality materials and cleaned up after! Couldn't recommend them more highly! We've called them back now to do our garage door & shutters! Price and quality was so good there's no need to get multiple quotes this time!

Approximate cost of services:
$1,000.00
What could this company do to improve their services?
Perhaps expand to offer more interior finishing services.
Any advice to offer fellow homeowners facing a similar project?
Definitely book this company for the renovation!

Windows and Doors

When we were faced with the decision to replace our windows, there were many companies to choose from. After receiving 3 other quotes , my wife and I chose David Snell because he was very thorough in explaining the options and styles available to us and his pricing was very competitive. We can’t say enough about the quality of workmanship throughout the process. When the crew finished at the end of each day, you would never know they were there. They took the time to vacuum the floors around every window and pick up any debris on the ground.
We have noticed a significant improvement in the comfort of our home and energy bill.
We have received numerous compliments from people walking by our house on the style of our windows and they always ask who installed them. We tell them we highly recommend that they call David Snell first.
After seeing the completed job and based on our recommendation many of our neighbours have also purchased from David Snell.

Eaves Troughing

We have had lots of work done and I have no complaint about most of it (windows, garage door, etc). The biggest problem is he does not return phone calls. I have called 5 times and been promised twice that he would fix a leak and that was 4 weeks ago. When you phone it sounds like you are calling an organization. Not so. No one is ever there - always leave a message but don't expect a return call unless you want new work done. Id be happy to give him 5 stars if he had any kind of followup service.

Company Response

I have immense respect for this homeowner . They have dealt with me on multiple occasions and they live on a street where at last count I have worked on 34 homes, many on numerous occasions. Ron's comments refer to a brief winter period where we were essentially shut down however he did contract us to install 160.00 worth of eavestrough where they had some ice damage The work was done at which point he assumed based on a neighbours comment that there was a problem. The installer went back and assured that everything was good. He later went back again to modify his install to help eliminate an ice back up problem around a chimney. At no point did the customer call my cell phone which is available to anybody who calls our office or checks my personal voicemail. I am very grateful to this homeowner for past work and for the referrals they have given since this review was made including their own son'a house. Note:since this review was made I have added my personal cell phone to business cards to ensure any homeowner can reach me with the greatest of ease.

I have delt with this company and David since 1990 or more and they did work at our home...Excellent workmanship. In and out and nothing left behind and this was the early years.

Window installation and glass pane replacement

We dealt with them twice. The first time we had them replace most of the windows on our ground floor and had no issues. The trim installation was a bit sloppy, but okay, at least they used wood instead of mdf and I replaced and fixed anything I didn't really like. The windows have been in place for a couple of years without issue. The second time we had them quote and order some replacement panes for our front windows. After placing the order, I waited a couple of months before calling them to get an update and was told the material was on order. I contacted my sales person Pieter as well as the office and was told the material was on order. After a couple of more months I gave up and got another company to install new windows. After more than six months after I placed the order they called me to tell me the glass was in. That's when I cancelled my order and told them I replaced the windows because they took to long to get the material and they never followed-up with me for six months. Overall, I would not use this company again.
Update 23-Feb-2015: the company just responded to this review today, almost 2 years after it was posted. Ironically this mirrors their service response time when I dealt with them. Anyway, I'm sorry to read that they did not take responsibility for their poor service and instead decided to write something that does not resemble what actually happened.

For 2 years I have had no clue whatsoever as to who this homeowner was or how we could be receiving a negative comment from somebody I don't know. I couldn't recall anybody cancelling an order with our company in the last 23 years although we as a company have had to cancel on a couple of occasions where work was not possible.
Our salesperson as named in the review has a completely different version of events than what has been described based on who he now thinks this is. He insists that each project we did for this homeowner was successful and that the homeowner was happy. He has also considered this homeowner a friend. He further insists that there was no contract cancelled by the homeowner or our company. There was simply no contract, no money taken as a deposit and therefore nothing to be refunded. The reason there was no contract was because our salesperson insists that he informed the homeowner that we could not take orders for glass changes as we had 3 times for him in the past because we were without the necessary technician to do such glass changes and that it would not be until later in the year after the new "tech" was trained, that we would be able to do this again for him.
Our records show 3 contracts dated October/2005, May/2006, and May/2010 all of which were delivered on time or early and were promptly paid in full by the homeowner.
I would also note that this homeowner was courteous and respectful to us at all times however we have no such records of any contract or cancellation of any contract upon further review.
Our phone call at a later date was not that a window sealed unit was made ready as one had never been priced or ordered but rather that we had a new "tech" in place and were able to take this type of work on again.
The homeowners comment regarding lack of response to his review of 2013 had solely been because of not knowing who this homeowner could possibly have been as we have no records of any homeowner cancelling a contract at any time.
Further, the salesperson insists that all contact was between he and the homeowner and did not involve our company as at that point we were not in a position to carry out such work.
I would ask the homeowner to contact me directly at 416-567-8794 on my cell phone to clarify any misunderstanding that may exist. Thanks in advance

Eaves, Soffit, Fascia & Garage Door

I highly recommend David D. Snell Building Services Ltd located in Mississauga, Ontario. We purchased our eavestrough, soffit and fascia through them and are very satisfied with the product used and installation process. There was no mess left for us to clean up and it looked terrific. When we decided it was finally time to replace our garage door, it only made sense to call them. Our sales representative, Pieter, came out to our home to go over the brochures with us, ask about our requirements and take some measurements. He was very thorough and professional. We had problems with contractors in the past so it was even more appreciated that we had no worries with this company. The person that came out to install the door was on time and obviously well trained and experienced in his job. We love the new door, which is now a nice reflection of, and addition to, our home. Since the installation of the door, we had a bit of a problem, caused by our own misuse, and the service I received was commendable. We did some comparison shopping first to give us some idea of the cost of all these products and they were comparable to most quotes. Although a couple of quotes came in a little lower, I did not feel comfortable with the person I was speaking with and thought about our bad experiences in the past. I would not hesitate to call on them again if the need arises for any upgrading or replacing of aging products that we may require in the future. I trust them so would be confident in recommending them to family and friends.

Vinyl Siding

When we decided to get vinyl siding for the entire house, we didn't know that one entire wall was badly damaged due to water leaking from a window that was installed years before we moved into the house. David Snell and his employees quickly rebuilt the wall before installing the rest of the vinyl siding. This was done at a reasonable rate (supplies and labour only) so that the job could be done right and without worry. Several years later, we noticed water leaking from one of the windows again and although it took some time for David Snell to get back to us, he did finally come to check it out and we are now waiting for someone to come to figure out/fix the window situation.

Thank you for your review Elizabeth and for all the work you gave our company. Upon getting involved in the project we jointly discovered a completely rotted out wall of the house which we agreed to do with NO markup whatsoever, in keeping with not wanting to profit from a situation obviously not pleasant for you. Further, the windows installed on this wall were not originally installed by our company and it was necessary to re and re those windows which were not the greatest quality unfortunately.
Should any further assistance be required please call cell phone at 416-568-8794 David Snell

Eavestrough Replacement

The company's representative, Terry, provided very helpful advice in considering our project, which could have been soffit, faschia, and eaves, and ended up being just eaves - he advised reducing his own scope! The price was fair, and the work was prompt, efficient, and satisfied our requirements.
