Michelle from Old Toronto

My child threw a toy at a window at the front of our house on a Sunday and smashed it. It is an original, 100 year old window (that I love!) and I thought it was going to take forever to find someone who could fix it. I also thought it would cost a fortune. I called Chris Sunday night and he called me back Monday morning. He came by that day (Monday), took a look, took some measurements, and came back the next day at 9:30am to install the glass. It took less than 30 mins and it looks perfect! He was so nice, quick, on-time, and affordable. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!

We needed to remove a heavy duty padlock that was left on our shed when we moved in (previous owners didn't leave the key). I called a few places and John was by far the least expensive and the most responsive. He came the next morning and removed the lock in about 3 minutes. Fabulous and highly recommended!

We couldn't grow grass in our shady backyard. I called around and Design Turf had the best customer service and the best price (30% less than every other company I called in Toronto). We've have the grass for 1 year and it is perfect still. Highly recommended!!

We needed to close off the stairs to our basement with a door. I called MANY companies on homestars---hardly anyone called back and those who said they did small job and came over to look never got back to me with quotes. I finally found Duguay's and could not be happier. Cale came over quickly, got me my quote within hours and exceeded my expectations with the quality of his work. His entire team is really friendly and nice which is a bonus!

After realizing that we were never going to get around to hang our shelves, tv and mirror properly or anytime soon, I looked around for a handyman on Homestars. I couldn't find anyone but thought I would ask Ikeaman as they were coming over anyway to build 2 Besta Sideboard units. John came over and was AMAZING! He hung everything perfectly and built our units quickly. Ivan, who runs the ship, responds quickly and is very helpful and kind (when I had to change the time last minute because I had to run my daughter to camp, he made it seem like I was doing John a favour by giving him extra time for breakfast---it was nice and I appreciated it). I can't recommend them enough!

After the big July 2013 storm in Toronto, our eavestroughs got disconnected and we noticed a lot of overflow from our gutters. I called 7 different services with top ratings on Homestars and the only one to return my call was Vitaly. He not only returned my call, but came by the same day to give me a quote! The next day he came by and fixed our eavestroughs, placed high-quality leaf guards on our gutters, replaced a broken downpipe, caulked leaky corners, and fixed a couple of broken soffits. He even patiently dealt with our neighbour who had his own list of complaints about our property :) He is a true professional who takes pride in his work and guarantees it. His prices are very reasonable, he is trustworthy and was a pleasure to work with. It was the best experience I’ve ever had with a contractor. Highly recommended!
