Nigel Chubb from North York

Punctually arrived at 9am, two men inspected property and packed everything in protective blankets but also wrapped the blankets in plastic. Dismantled a large King sized Wooden Italian bedframe. Packed the super king size mattress in a plastic bag. Most of the furniture was very heavy and large. Delivered the furniture at its destination and re-assembled the bedframe, put all the furniture in place and removed all wrapping. Nothing damaged. Both men were very polite and helpful. Without doubt this company is quite excellent and I would definitely recommend them.

With one toilet not flushing and one toilet constantly running I decided to call Faucet Fix to come and fix it. The technician arrived exactly on time having called me first. He quickly provided me solutions to the problems. As one toilet was quite old and loose her suggested a new more modern toilet and the replacement of the flush mechanism on the other. One hour later the job was complete. Very efficient service as he had all the pieces in his van. I would definitely call Faucet fix again and highly recommend them.

I have employed Smilies Home service to clear the snow from driveway for the last 5 years and they have done a superb job. Not only do they clear the drive completely but also the sidewalk upto the front door. They contracted for 5cm or more but often came when there was a lot less snow. They often came during the night and always returned to clear the end of the drive when the city plow had been by. For the last two years I have employed the same company to look after our house lawns. The grass has never looked so good and they cut the lawn every single week. Always taking away the cuttings.

After reading the many good reviews of this company my wife and I visited their showroom. My first impression was very good and the sales lady was quick to help us. Once we selected the carpet we wanted, we were told that there was a $79 charge for an installer to measure up the room where it was to be installed. We were also told that there would be a discount for not paying with a credit card. The owner of the company came and did the measurement, which took less than 15 minutes. And we were emailed a quote for the installation. We accepted this and placed the order. At this point a deposit of 50% was requested. After some confusion about billing having received someone elses bill and invoices that didn't match the quote, we were told that we must provide credit card details for the balance of the order after having paid the deposit. This was not mentioned when we placed the order. On the appointed day the installer called to say he would be late and eventually came. The carpet installation was done very well. However, as he completed the job he informed me that he didn't make enough money on this type of job to vacuum up the debris and I agreed. to vacuum our apartment. Shortly, after he departed, the building management called me to complain that there was a trail of carpet debris from my apartment to the building exit and that the installer told them he wasn't prepared to clean it up. I then took the job in hand and vacuumed up the mess in the elevators and corridors. I filed a complaint with Alliance floors and received an initial apology from the customer service saying that they would address the matter with the installer. Two weeks later the owner of the company sent me an email that stated that their installer told a different story and that it was our building staff that were at fault and that he liked to clean up after his job was done. The owner then went on to state that our building staff could benefit from a bit of customer service training themselves. I think that statements of this nature are not conducive to establish good business relationships and a simple apology would have sufficed whether they thought were wrong or not.

With the need for a good and reliable paint job, I discovered BestCorr through our building manager. I called them and they came immediately to give an estimate. As I wanted the same paint colour that I had before they took samples. In one of the rooms I had removed some old cupboards that had been attached to the wall, this left some holes and old paint ridges. Bestcorr arranged to do the job when I was away and when I returned it had been done perfectly. All holes had been filled and there was no sign of them ever having been their. All doors, skirting and walls had been painted and the furniture moved and replaced properly. Bestcorr is an excellent company who do the job without requesting advance payment, provide realistic estimates, very punctual and do a first rate job.

There doesn't seem to be many companies that will repair and clean vertical blinds. But Art Venetian blinds do and they do a superb job. Some of our blinds were not rotating and others were just broken. John Santos Rosa came in and removed the blinds to his shop, repaired and cleaned them before re-installing them with a four day turnaround. They look and feel like new. A first class job and I will use them again. They do not work at weekends but they are very responsive.

My son recommended Samson to me after he fixed his dishwasher. I called Samson and he came that evening diagnose the problem with our Amana refrigerator water dispenser. He checked the contact switch and determined it was the solenoid. Ordered the part and returned to install it. First class repair. Cleaned the area at the back of the fridge as well as the water dispenser areas. Very efficient and helpful.
