Rhiannon morse in Calgary

I was tired of painting, staining, and replacing my old wood deck - felt like I spent more time repairing my deck then enjoying it. The staff at Decked Out are amazing! Incredibly helpful and knowledgeable they walked me through every stage and answered every question I had with respect. It may feel pricier than a wood deck but the workmanship you get is worth it (not to mention the savings in maintenance). I love my vinyl deck and will be looking to upgrade my fence next.

My garage needed painting and I thought I would give College Pro a try since I didn't have time to do it myself. Should have just done it myself. The work was sloppy, the workers were rude as was the manager when I called to complain about the quality of work. They were well priced, BUT not worth it since I ended up having to repaint my garage myself.

I like Michaels however their staff could be a little more focused on customer service. I needed to pick up some paper for the place cards, and the first store I went to did not have enough of the paper I wanted. Instead of calling around for me, I ended up having to run around the city to find all the paper I needed. I find their prices expensive but they have so many sales, that you shouldn't ever have to buy anything regular price.

I was making a fleece blanket for a friend of mine, and the staff were very helpful in finding the right material, and the edging - even when one store didn't have enough they phoned to find another store with the right material to save me from running around aimlessly. Will always go back to them when I have a fabric project.

I always enjoy going into Golden Acre Garden Centres, when I don't know what I want, they are always helpful and knowledgeable in finding the plants I need for the appropriate areas of my garden.
