We are so very disappointed in the most recent kitchen cabinet experience with Zen Living. Not only has this installation been dragging on since September 2021 (and it is now March 2022), there have been multiple screw-ups, delays, staff changes as good people leave Zen frustrated with the way Zen is treating customers & staff, broken promises and more, but the worst part is Zen staff now stonewalling & refusing to even respond to my emails or my request for the name and contact number to talk to the owner and invite him to come to see the problems that need to be rectified. This is not my first Zen kitchen and I can't believe how they have deteriorated in quality and service, and that their way of resolving the last two remaining problems is simply to say "we have closed this file". If anyone wishes to contact me for more details, I'd be happy to share more.

In July 2016, we purchased a 20 year old home with a red concrete tile roof that we knew would need repairs. I contacted 3 companies and chose Canmark Roofing Ltd. Todd Smith came out and gave us a quote below what others had given, but more importantly, with his knowledge and experience, he inspired confidence that the job would be done right and it was. Todd even added some little extra touches like spray painting the vents we needed to match the roof which was a pleasant surprise. The roof tile repairs were done right, new skylights installed, removal of an old chimney, roof vents installed and gutters were cleaned out. Todd was also very pleasant and considerate at all times. I highly recommend this company.

When our home was destroyed by fire, we had to rebuild and then purchase all new appliances. I knew what I wanted and searched online plus in several stores to compare prices. It was a real education. After looking at videos online, I visited the Sears Home store in Brentwood and found an excellent and knowledgeable salesman who took lots of time to answer all of my questions and educate me as it had been quite a while since I had bought appliances. Not only was he awesome, he price matched every item and gave me the best deal in Calgary. I'm a good shopper and he exceeded all of my expectations. I would definitely go back again to purchase appliances at Sears and recommend my salesman to everyone. He was awesome.

When our home was destroyed by fire, we had to rebuild which was very expensive and many of the items were not covered by insurance. The finishing touches are very important so I was searching for nice feature lighting, ie, chandeliers and hallway fixtures at a good price. I looked at many stores and when I went to Cartwright, they had so many excellent sales on really nice chandeliers. I couldn't believe the value. Some were listed over $1000 retail suggested price and I bought them for around $100 each. Of course, these were clearance prices and some were one of a kind floor models, but they still look really nice in my home and I saved several thousands of dollars. You also have to sometimes make a couple of trips to see what is on sale but it was really worth it.

After our house was destroyed by fire, we built a new house that required carpet on the upper floor and in the finished basement. I searched online for the type of carpet I wanted and then went looking for the best price. The company that my builder sent me to was outrageously expensive at over $30,000 so I kept looking. I got a quote from another well known carpet company at $22,000 which I thought was pretty good and was going to buy from them. I then went to the Home Show and there was a booth by End of the Roll and told them my situation. They simply asked me to allow them to quote too although I had felt my mind was made up. (I didn't tell them the price I already had.) Kyle looked at the job, priced the carpet I wanted, etc and came back with an installed price of $16,000. They did the installation and it was excellent, on time, well done, and more importantly, gave me outstanding service afterwards when I had some questions. Kyle is upfront and approachable and I would definitely suggest anyone wanting carpet talk to Kyle at End of the Roll.

After our house was destroyed by fire, we built a new, large home and had the opportunity to have it prewired for tvs and other electronics including a media room. I had no experience with this type of thing so I had lots of questions. Rick, the owner of the store actually took the time to review the house plans and make recommendations based on our needs and then he visited the house while it was under construction and made further recommendations. His knowledge in this field is outstanding and he gave me recommendations and options from very sophisticated systems to more basic recommendations and helped me to choose what was right for our family. His crew was great and his prices were fair based on other quotes I received. We are now enjoying our media room more than I ever thought we would and everything is running just the way he said it would. We are extremely happy with the system, the price and the installation.

Lux Windows was recommended by my builder and they supplied all the windows and doors for our new house when the previous one exploded and burned down three years ago. After construction I have had to call upon various trades and companies to do some service work. Some trades have been slow to respond but Lux Windows has been outstanding, especially Jimmy, the Service Manager. The products are very good, but more importantly, the after sale service has been terrific. Their servicemen have been courteous and eager to do the best work possible, appointments have been on time, and they are very customer service oriented. I would definitely recommend this company for both quality and service.

I didn't believe that this ScaleBlaster product could take the place of a traditional salt-based Water Softener. I didn't want the work of adding salt, ongoing costs of buying salt, maintenance, etc, not to mention harming the environment with salt. However, I also didn't want the disgusting calcium build up that you have with hard water, like here in Calgary. I gave it a try because of their 100% money back guarantee & free installation. I had nothing to lose. To my surprise, the Scaleblaster electronic descaler works PERFECTLY, there is no maintenance, no salt to buy, no noise, is small and takes up no space and uses the same electricity as a night light, it has a 10 year warranty and lasts for up to 20 years. My chrome taps sparkle with no calcium build up. I am so pleasantly surprised and happy.

This company was recommended by our builder 2 years ago when we were forced into building a new house after a fire destroyed our original house. Their prices seemed high but I trusted the builder's judgment as I was new to Calgary. The cabinets look nice, are of decent construction, as was the installation, but not perfect. At the design stage, they tried to push the price up by suggesting lots of little drawers (price goes up with each bank of drawers, which I learned afterwards). We are seniors and I am careful about money so I didn't go for this. When I asked for the after installation service call, and for them to finish the drawer separators for cutlery, without even coming to inspect my concerns, they refused, became verbally abusive, made accusations that I had done the damage, were rude, and refused to complete the job or provide the service they said would be done. I would never recommend them as I am certain there are other great cabinet companies in Calgary who would stand behind their product and service. I am still communicating with them and trying to get them to do what they said they would do.

I didn't believe this product could actually take the place of a traditional salt water softener but they had a 100% money back guarantee if it didn't work. I tried it. It works. No scale build up in our water, around sinks, taps, etc. Just plug in and nothing else to do. No salt to buy, no maintenance...just enjoy water without any scale/calcium build-up problems.
