Sam did a fantastic job installing Formica ColorCore2 kitchen countertop. It looks like a solid surface for much, much less than stone would cost and so far it seems like it will be bulletproof! If you don't know about this product, google it or ask him. He was able to install my counter within a week of my quote. He also builds the counter from scratch on site, which I think results in a superior install. Sam was 100% on time and professional. Highly recommended.

Scott did all the electrical for my DIY kitchen renovation of my 1959 bungalow, that extended into some bathroom and living room electrical work while I was at it. Being an older house and with a finished basement, of the several quotes I received, Scott had the best solutions for tackling how to run the wiring. It included some crawling around in the attic, which I really appreciated. He was very patient and accommodating, as this became a drawn out DIY project. His work is top notch and prices are very reasonable. I 100% recommend Scott.

I ordered a sliding door in September, provided a down-payment, and the order was marked as rush so I would get it before the winter. I was told to expect arrival in 2 weeks and they would call. One month later I received a call asking why it was marked rush, and was told it would be 8 weeks from then. Well, it is now winter and I am very disappointed....I cancelled the order and I went with another company. I do not have a satisfactory explanation as to the delay and lack of communication to me, but they did give me my money back without a problem, so I am giving them 2 stars for that.

This narrative has to be removed from reviews' page, because reviews can be posted ONLY BY CLIENTS WITH VALID CONTRACT, but not by people who got a conditional quote from us. Contract is deemed to be valid when is signed by General Manager i.e validated. This Quote was never signed i.e. validated. Let me explain why. Jackie Van Lierop called to Meridian Alberta on September 30, 2015 (last day of September) with request to come to her and give a quote for patio door. Same day at 5:30 pm our representative visited her. She expressed her wish to have custom made - non standard door to be delivered to Meridian warehouse under condition "cash & carry". "Cash & carry" means client has to pick up a product from Meridian warehouse, no installation to be provided. As soon as it was supposed to be non standard, custom made door from Novatech only supplier, she was advised about 4 weeks delivery period ( not 2 weeks she claims) from date when Meridian General manager signs contract to have it valid. Novatech supplier answered that was able to manufacture this door only after 6-7 weeks from time of order, but not earlier. As soon as it was time sensative for client, Meridian General manager personally contacted Jackie Van Lierop to discuss several other options which could be available to make contract to be validated and go ahead with it. Non validated contracts by General manager are not considered as valid contract and do not go into production phase. Jacquie V.L. declined all discussed options and requested her down payment to be returned. Refund cheque 002864 for $315.00 was mailed to her on November 02, 2015. So it came as a surprise to see this narrative posted. Please remove this narrative as soon as it does not meet criteria of writing a review by a real client who has VALID CONTRACT, but not a conditional quote provided. The reviews' page of Homestars is not a panel where any person can post anything they want excersizing ability to write.

I had my roof reshingled by Guns N Hoses 5 years ago and they did a great job, so I looked to them for topping up my 1959 insulation to code. Neil made a thorough pre-quote inspection, took time to answer all of my questions, ensured my attic would have adequate air flow, as well as air-sealed the ceiling. He also replaced my hatch at my request for no extra charge. He would not accept payment until I visually inspected the work, which required an extra visit. I am confident the work was well done.

Stefan has been doing various work for me for the last year and a half, incuding some framing, trim work, building a deck, door installation, and the final installation and customization of my DIY Ikea kitchen. Stefan is skilled, resourceful, on time, diligent, and honest, as well as patient with my project planning. He has delivered great results that fit within my budget and I look forward to have him complete additional projects for me.

Nate is to the point and makes it clear he does the job right. His installation of vents in my attic made sure there would be no condensation issues, unlike other quotes I had that were cheaper because they cut corners. Jordan, who did the work, was on time, courteous, professional. My attic was reinsulated afterwards and they commented the work was very good. I more recently had Distinct tune-up my furnace. Jordan also did that work and my >10 year old h/e furnace has never run so well! Jason explained everything he did, including turing down the pressure which was too high. My ducting has always banged when the furnace fan turned off and does not any more! Another quote I had said I should bolt a pipe through the ducting to keep it from moving, clearly not addressing the issue. My furnce runs less and my house is less drafty, so money well spent. I will always use Dinstinct from now on.

Hello Jacquie! Thank you so much! We were so pleased with the way your duct work turned out. As you mentioned, sometimes Distinct will quote a little higher that some of our competitors, but we believe it is always in the best interest for the homeowner. We want to be sure that you have the information you need (up front) so that you are making the best decision possible. We are so thankful that you have seen the benefits to this. Enjoy your quieter, warmer home this winter! Lori

Another happy customer! New sink and dishwasher install, as well as shut off valve for an outside tap. From booking for an estimate to completion of the work the process prompt and professional. This is definitely my go-to plumber for any future needs. Thanks Jason and Tasjha!
