We have used Crestelo cleaning service twice now and will definitely continue to use them monthly to come in to do a partial clean in our house. Communication is excellent. The staff that comes to do our cleaning is very thorough, shows up on time and works steadily the entire time they are here. We are very pleased with the quality of work provided. We would recommend this company.

We contacted this company for our rental property. They quoted a $180 service call fee and $120 an hour for labour. They were there for an hour, texted when they arrived, my tenant and called when they left. It was an hour and two minutes and when he sent the bill, he charged for an hour and a half labour. I had to ask multiple times for him to send me a proper quote. He wanted to continually just send amounts in a text and we needed some thing on letterhead and an official quote as we use this for our income tax because it is a rental property. When he finally sent the quote days later, I asked if we went forward with the work if he would put the service call fee towards that new invoice. He responded by email that he would and now he wont honour it. They also want full payment up front including parts and labour before the work is done. We have worked with numerous trades and technicians over the past six years with all of our rental properties and we have never had to pay the full amount upfront before. He left the unit on the floor out of the wall and it has been like that for over a week. He will not even order the parts or do anything until he has complete payment for parts that havent been ordered and work that hasnt been done. We were left in the lurch and had to contact another company.

This is the third time we have used Augusta movers in a year and a half. They are excellent. Very polite, hard working guys. Very respectful and mindful of everything they move and the area they are moving in. We wouldn't hesitate to use them again and highly recommend them.

We replaced all our existing lights, and added/moved lighting in our rental property. Excellent people to work with. Reliable, came on time, clean and efficient. We would use them again.

We signed up with Arborlea Kitchen Design Group out of Oakville because they seemed like a well organized company that was family owned. We wanted a company that would look after managing all the trades, would regularly oversee our project and that would be on time. Since this was an extensive renovation we spend the extra cost of moving out of our house for two months and they had given us a time frame of two and a half months so we would only have to live in the house during the final two weeks of the job. We were completely wrong about this company. September 4, 2011, we moved back into our house. Our house was no where near completion. There was an overflowed dumpster in our driveway, that had actual garbage (not just building materials)in it. It sat there for a week, attracting animals, every morning we woke up to garbage spread across our front lawn from the animals that were rooting through it. After repeated calls and e-mails to Arborlea, sometimes with no response, sometimes with excuses, we finally phoned the dumpster company ourselves to find out that they owed him money and weren't paying him. This was just the beginning. That sunday we had a subcontractor show up at our door to find out he hadn't been paid either. We were waiting on cabinets for our kitchen and other material in which they continually were giving excuses for why they were not coming, and that was if we actually got a hold of them or they answered our e-mails. It got to the point that we had been trying to get a hold of them for 2 weeks and our job was just at a stand still. I decided to go to their office to see what was going on. When I arrived I found it closed down. I got a hold of Marilyn, the company president that afternoon and she made no mention of this at all. At this point we had given them all of our payments except the hold back payment on completion. Arborlea came to us on Oct 14, 2011 and basically told us that they needed our last ten percent to finish our job. They had spent our money obviously on other things then our project and they told us they no longer have any money to complete our house. We have been left with no working October 26, 2011 kitchen, painting that needs to be done, missing cabinets, no banisters on our stairs, a missing railing, pot lights hanging out of our roof, etc. We also have been getting phone calls and more subcontractors showing up claiming they haven't been paid. Arborlea Residential Design Group has never given us any documentation of the fact that they don't have the funds to continue our job, they have repeatedly promised to give us our drawings and file so we could finish our house and have an idea of what is outstanding and what our approximate cost would to finish our job. They didn't show up with our file on our set meeting and now have finally completely stopped corresponding with us. In some of the phone calls we have had, the people have said that Arborlea is just telling them to call us to collect payment. It has been a nightmare. We are now paying to finish a job that we have already paid for once. There are big outstanding items, all our granite countertops, unpaid cabinets, all of our sinks, faucets, cabinetry hardware, etc. The suppliers that were working on our house were very helpful in working with us to finish it. It has been very helpful in allowing us to get through this knowing that there are good companies like these out there and we are thankful for that.
