Keith the owner was very pleasant to work with and we were fully satisfied with our reupholstered chairs. There were a lot of fabrics to choose from and Ketih just let us take our time and choose at our pleasure without being intrusive or pushy. He was also able to get the work done sooner as we needed the chairs for a dinner party. The lcosting was reasonable and very cleary laid out. Thanks again Keith as the dining chairs feel brand new and really enhanced the look of the dining room.

We have used Aviv before and was fully satisfied with the knowledge, honesty and service. When water leaked downstairs from a shower upstairs, we did not hesitate to call Aviv again and did not bother to ask upfront how much the cost will be, which was was a mistake. The service this time was unfortunately less satisfying. Actual work incl. diagnosis probably only took an hour or.so Still not clear why we were charged so much for tightening the pipes and caulking the loose hardware/faucet. As I did not get the comfort that the work done solved the problem, I asked the technician whether there is a warranty which he indicated no as there may be other problems. This gave me less comfort in trusting the service. For now, I still have a bucket and towel below the leak area just in case.

Company Response

Hi there. I am so sorry that you were unhappy. I sent a very qualified plumber to your home and I myself came down to your home. I gave you a price while we stood in the kitchen and did locate the leak. As we explained and showed you, the faucet in the fiberglass enclosure had never been secured and the plate was almost 1/2" away from the wall. We cut open the drywall behind the faucet and secured it. We secured the trim from the from the front as well. We filled the tub numerous times and drained it. We operated the shower. I also spent some time discussing with you an issue with your fridge water line. All this while the other plumber and apprentice took care of the problem. I am sorry that you were dissatisfied and feel that you were over charged. I believe that the charge INCLUDING HST was less than that quotet to you while we stood in your kitchen. I believe that we have solved the problem to the best of our ability and the reason for not providing you with a warranty is because of the general sloppy installation of the original acrylic enclosure and the related plumbing. I encourage you to remove the bucket and the towel and to ensure that the curtain is fully closed when your son takes a shower and that the trim remains sealed to the acrylic. If in the future you do decide to use our services again, it would be appreciated if you would consult with me in person if you are unhappy.

Homebud has completed jobs for us from small jobs such as caulking to our basement renovation. While their pricing may not be at the low end, they always deliver quality work to our satisfaction and has proven to live up to their warranty in a timely and hassle free manner.

We chose Hilltop because they were the cheapest, what a BIG mistake!!! Hilltop replaced our whole roof in the summer of 2002 and it started leaking in three different places in the spring of 2004. We called them repeatedly to come fix the problem, and they did not. To make a long story short, we were so frustrated with the whole ordeal that we ended up paying another roofer, D'angelo Brothers, to fix the problems. I would not trust them at all and their warranty is worthless!! They were definitely very timely...at collecting the payment once the job was done!!

We tried this company for the first time this winter as their advertising in the yellow pages sounded credible. We ended up being taken for a ride! It was quite an unbelievable experience dealing with the Gardener! For the first few snowfalls, the truck either came very late or did not show up, while all our neighbors driveways were already shoveled by other companies. The few times that they did come, the service was extremely messy, where snow was left right in front of our garage door or piled at the edge of driveway entrance. Furthermore, we had to pay extra, at the request of the company, to clear the walkway to our front door, but ended up shoveling the snow ourselves every time. For the times that they did not show up, we would leave numerous messages but none returned.
