We have wanted to improve the appearance of our small front yard in downtown Toronto, and decided it was time to hire professional gardeners. We really needed their help this fall, because the yard had been trampled by workers who renovated our basement over the summer months. Gardinzella was a pleasure to work with, and did everything we asked. They proposed and built an attractive rock drainage bed for our rainwater downspout and a new sump pump drainage system. And they laid down a nice layer of topsoil, which immediately improved the appearance of the yard. Weve already hired Gardenzilla again, this time to return in the spring plant a new front garden that will - finally - give us the attractive front yard we have wanted. We highly recommend Gardenzilla.

My wife and I decided to have our 100-year-old, unfinished basement renovated. It's a big job and it began with Royal Work deepening the basement by about three feet ; underpinning the foundations; laying sewer and drain pipes ; waterproofing the entire basement; and pouring a concrete floor. We could not have been more impressed by the crew that Royal Work sent to our home every day. They showed up on time, and got a ton of work done each day until their part of the project was completed. As supervisor, Anatoliy always provided with up-to-date information and answered all of our questions promptly. I would definitely recommend Royal Work to a homeowner needing this kind of work performed.

Our front garden area was in bad need of an upgrade. Wooden border rails had rotted, and walkway paving stones had sunken. The team at GTA Sunrise did a great job of explaining options, and doing the work. We couldn't be happier with the appearance of our new front walkway and garden area.

We have hired Alda to provide and install two doors in our home, and we've been 100% satisfied each time. Most recently, Alda installed a triple-locking, double-window-pane exterior door in our kitchen, replacing an old wooden door that wasn't very secure. The process began with Adam visiting us and explaining the options. When the door was ready, Leonid and his partner came right on time to install the door, and did a great job. The new door makes our home much more secure, and is much more attractive than the one it replaced. Earlier, we hired Alda to replace a basement door that had been poorly installed by someone else and was very difficult to open and close. We were very happy with that new door as well. We have nothing but positive things to say about our dealings with this company.

For years, we struggled with a basement door that was poorly installed and was very difficult to open or close. We hired Nova 365 to replace it, and are very pleased with the results. Adam came to our home to discuss options and pricing. Peter came to do precise measurements, and then returned when the custom-made door was completed and ready to install. The door is attractive and opens and closes perfectly. We plan on hiring Nova 365 again for another door that needs replacing.

We could not be happier with our new deck, built by Custom Deck Co. We needed a new back deck to replace our 20-year-old deck, which was partially torn out to make room for a basement water-proofing job. Custom Deck Co did a great job. The guys showed up on schedule and got the job - which included removing and hauling away the old deck - done on schedule. The new deck is much nicer than the one it replaced.

I called Owen's the morning after my wife and I realized the inside of our refrigerator was not cold enough (the freezer compartment was fine). He asked me some questions (Was there frost on the walls of the freezer? Or on the ice cubes?) and said he could get a repair person to my home that afternoon. And that's what happened. A gentleman named Lin came right on time, removed a panel at the bottom of the fridge compartment and explained to me what was wrong. He had the necessary part in his truck, and our fridge was fixed in less than an hour. Would definitely use this company again. Paul in Toronto

I've never even met Steve Brannan, but he's been to my home three times to repair appliances (a dryer and a dishwasher) and to install an appliance (a new dishwasher). In each case, I left a key for him and he came in, did the work and left while my wife and I were at work. The work is top-notch, he seems like a real expert in his field, and he's totally trustworthy and reliable. A much better option than taking time off work to be home for a repair or installation person from a larger company. I would definitely recommend him. Paul B. Toronto.

My wife and I were very happy with the service we received from Best Fence. We own a semi-detached house in downtown Toronto, and wanted a black metal fence to replace an old wooden fence. We chose an Iron Eagle fence after visiting the Iron Eagle showroom near Pearson Airport, and then we called Best Fence. Mike got back to us right away, and suggested we send him an email with photos of our property and a description of what we wanted. After a few email messages went back and forth, Mike came to our property to look around and take some measurements. Within a week, he had installed the fence posts. The fence sections took a month to be manufactured by Iron Eagle (we wanted a flat finish, which is less commonly ordered than the glossy), but as soon as they were ready, Mike contacted us and set up a date for the final instalation work. We love the way the fence looks, and would definitely recommend Best Fence to other homeowners. P&D
