JJ in Toronto

When we discovered bed bugs in one of our bedrooms we immediately called a half-dozen exterminators and specialists. Most who replied gave us blanket estimates without asking any questions. Only one, Muhammad at Pest Solution Services, came to do a full inspection. He asked smart, targeted questions, and made a thorough plan. He then worked tirelessly to take care of the issue himself, by hand, no carpet bombing the house with chemicals! Since then hes returned twice for scheduled follow up visits, all part of his fantastic service.

We really struggled trying to find a regular cleaner for our house. Referrals from friends and neighbours came up blank and we didn't like the idea of paying big bucks to a company that in turn pays its employees minimum wage. HurraHome is the perfect solution - independent cleaners with the backing of a supportive team. Couldn't be happier!

Joe and his team just finished work on my basement, and I wanted to jump online and shout "Hey everyone - we found a great contractor!" To start with, Joe did all the big things right. He showed up and worked when he said he would, he was always clean and considerate, and he used his initial quote as the final bill - no padding or mysterious charges when the work was done. But it's the little things that really impressed me. Joe and his team are great problem solvers, and that's hugely important when renovating older houses. Joe was never fazed when I asked him to do something out of the ordinary (like build a curved bulkhead) or install something we hadn't flagged earlier. He never made me feel stupid or unwelcome for asking a question or involving myself in the reno. We'll be shifting our focus to the old kitchen and bathroom soon, and there's no question in my mind that Joe and his team will be the first ones we call. Good luck with your renos and projects, everyone!

The good folks at Dino's did a great job on my last move 7 years ago, so I called them again when I needed movers this week. Manny and his crew were really conscientious about wrapping furniture in blankets and protecting the floors, and treated all of our things with great care. They showed up on time, did the job in the short order, and charged exactly what was on the quote - no extras, hidden fees, or surcharges. An on top of everything, they're just good guys to have around. Moving days are stressful enough, so it makes a huge difference to have help from a friendly crew that goes above and beyond. Nice to see the service from Dino's Movers hasn't changed in 7 years! Thanks guys!

I hired Rumble to rewire an old house about 3 years ago. They did the work for the quoted price, but it took twice as long as they estimated, and required several unexpected return trips to fix obvious problems and mistakes (like mismatched light switches). Since that time, 3 different light fixtures have stopped working altogether, and another blows bulbs at an astonishing rate. Now I have to get someone else to check the rest of their work.

I recently bought an old house, and found out there was a leak in the corner of the basement. Nothing pouring in, but a fairly regular seeping through the thin concrete floor. I called around, and got a few quotes from various specialists. One was from Bowen. The gentleman they sent out gave me a proper quote (a bit higher than some, but absolutely professional) complete with a detailed description and a helpful diagram. But before he left, the Bowen rep noted that I hadn't yet plugged up the hole from a disconnected downspout. He recommended I do that before we went ahead with the $1000 repair. I did, it worked, and the repair became unnecessary. That kind of honesty deserves to be rewarded! I'll definitely call them again should another problem arise!

Had a great experience with Red Robin. The guys were always cheerful, with never a word of complaint, even while doing an awkward concrete pour in a tight space. They showed themselves to be a professional and respectful company that kept in close contact about dates and times, and always left the job site cleaner than when they arrived. I was particularly impressed when a small part of the work needed to be done after the first job. Dave had given me an estimate of "$200 -$300", and sure enough when the invoice came in, it was right at the low end of the estimate - $200 on the nose. Nicely done, guys!
