We had been using Nick from Olympic Heating for the last ten years for the yearly maintenance in our old house. His service was always professional on time and very reasonable. Now in our new house that we needed a new air conditioning we of course relied again on Nick expertise and honest advice. The job was very efficiently completed on time with no mess or delays like other trades that we had hired. We are ready for a cold winter and hopefully and very hot and steamy 2011 summer because we know our heating and cooling is very save hands.

Two years but I actually aged 15. Dealing with this builder has been the WORSE experience of me life. They tried to seem helpful before we closed the deal, after that the wouldn’t even return phone calls or emails. The staff and in particular the their “design centre staff were ignorant I cannot understand how they can stay in business with such a disgusting customer service. They make hundreds of mistakes, including some major ones. The changes in the layout of the house that we agreed on were not made and the had to redo everything but it is just a terrible patch up job. Most of the windows were scratched, the tiling was uneven, the doors and windows were ordered reversed, the roofingdid not have the right amount of insulation and some ventilation were not even cut open, the concrete steps were not done properly and the had to be redone, washroom hardware was put wrong. It took months to start to try to fix them and the trades would come and go but the would make things worst instead of better. The Ontario home insurance was a lost cause too. It protects more the builder than it does the buyer I got tired of dealing with all the bullshit and I fixed everything by bringing in other tradesmen on my on expense. It cost me tens of thousands of dollars to fix the builders mistakes. Builders like him they should not be allowed to keep building. All the people and neighbors I know that won a vandyk home the all had major trouble. DO NOT BUY from this builder. PS Everything was done to the bare minimum even when it was done within the standards. All the trades kept complaining that how can they do a good job when they are not paid enough and when vandyk owns them many months of pay. NOTE: it would probably be easier and quicker if you built it on your own instead of leting the vadyk people screw you around

We bought a new home from Vandyk. All our issues and concerns with the offer and the negotiations were addressed and resolves with professionalism and on time. We’ve had a good experience so far and we are looking forward to moving in.

The worst service I have ever received. The workers were rude the job was not done properly and the left screws everywhere. Birds came back a few weeks later and when I called them to come and do it properly ,as the give you one year guaranty, I was treated with an attitude by the b who answers the phone even though I was so polite trying to have them come back to finish what the started but the never came to fix anything. As I found out later the were alot more expensive than everyone else. Do not trust these people. as you see in the picture they actually made it better and saver for the birds to build a nest. the birds went around the wires and using the wires as a wall for their new extra strong nest.
