Sandra on the Danforth

We had a tough time finding someone who would take on our small job: cleaning up the grout and silicone left behind by a shoddy repair job. Dan came the day after I called (admittedly I think it was slower for him, being around New Year's), showed up on time, did the work quickly, cleaned up after himself, and his rate was very fair. Seeing all the great reviews for him I was sceptical (i.e. thought they might be fake) but was pleasantly surprised. He's a really pleasant man, and I'm calling him again the next time I need something done.

We have a Voxcom home system. There have been a couple hiccups, such as a hardware malfunction, but overall have been pleased with them. I called a few places and chose Voxcom based on services offered, company size, and responsiveness to alarms. Not the cheapest, but we feel their prices are fair. All of the companies I contacted had a three-year contract term, so it seems to be standard in the industry, as do automatic renewals, and penalties for terminating service prior to the end of the contract term.

We initially contacted J. Stewart back in November 07. They came by within a week to give us a quote, and pleased with the quick response, we arranged for the work to be done. Then they failed to show up twice (inclement weather to be fair), and we didn't hear from them again until January 08 when they showed up unannounced--I noticed they had arrived because there was a guy on a ladder outside the window! At this point we were just happy the work had been done. This spring however we got on the roof to see what had been done, and we were very disappointed. The work around the areas we had requested was very sloppy.
