I’d like to thank Jay and his amazing crew, Daniel, Travis and Corey as well as Brett who came to lend a hand, for building beautiful, solid fences for me and 12 of my neighbours! Coordinating that many folks was no easy feat, but they handled it like the pros they are. We used HomeStars (great site), and originally selected another fence contractor in 2020, based purely on a slight difference in cost. Wrong! In my experience, whenever possible, pick quality over cost. You’ll be much better off in the long run. I thought Jay was the better choice then, but majority rules. Well, that contractor didn’t have a steady supply of lumber like Jay and kept pushing the job later and later until it was too late to get it done in 2020. That was a blessing in disguise! In April 2021, I rallied the neighbours, and we called Green Side Up instead. We learned that Jay never stopped building fences all through 2020 because he had a steady supply of lumber, straight from the mill. After a couple of calls and meetings, with Jay answering all of our questions, we were ready to go. The crew was friendly, accommodating, and the workmanship was outstanding. Except for a little inclement weather, the job stayed on track, and was completed in a timely fashion. Also Green Side Up has a 10 year warranty which is unheard of! If you want a fence that will stand the test of time, quality workmanship and look gorgeous, Green Side Up Inc is the only contractor you should consider. You will not be disappointed. Now, I’m off to admire my new fence. Stay safe! Connie

I had some climate control problems with a couple bedrooms. Was contemplating having the drywall opened up and add more insulation to the walls. But my dad said, check if there are issues in your attic, and maybe increase the attic insulation. I submitted a quote request to HomeStars and Exotherm was put forward. When Anthony, the owner, came to view the attic and provide the quote, he came prepareed - masked and provided his own ladder and tools. This is important to note because some of the other contractors came unprepared - no ladder! How can you provide a proper quote, if you can't see what's there? He took accurate measurements, discussed the options and patiently answered all my questions. Out of the 3 contractors (actually 4, but the 4th one was too arrogant and rude to bother including), he was the only one who recommended wrapping the exposed ductwork for the bathroom exhaust fan. I did more research on this and some findings in the other quotes and agreed with his assessment. The final job - blown-in loosefill cellulose insulation installation (9") (increase to R60 standard), soffit damming, baffle vent installation, mold control application, attic hatch insulation/weatherstripping and blanket insulating the exposed ductwork. So I selected Exotherm as my contractor! His team, Courtney and Adam, arrived on time, and were friendly, professional, and obviously very experienced, answering my many questions with patience and knowledge (I ask a lot of questions!). They were meticulous in the site preparation and cleanup. They completed the work efficiently, and thoroughly, providing pics as they went. They even dealt with some issues arising from openings left by the builder near some of the soffits! I really appreciate them setting up the plastic, zippered entrance to my closet. That minimized the dust in the rest of the house. I would highly recommend hiring Exotherm, for anyone needing an insulation solution. You made this a pleasant experience!
