sitter from Brampton

After missing out on a deck last year by trying to get quotes in late June, we were determined to get a jump on things early this year. In early March we met Anton with Beaver Brothers. We outlined our plan for a large 2 level deck roughly 400 sq ft. One side for a dinner set another for a sectional. He immediately set the bar high for others we got quotes from. He educated us on what to look for in a deck. He showed us pictures of what his decks looked like at various stages, screening and gravel, footings, framing, joists and double joists! He went over the various options in decking, cedar, timbertech, Azek, Trex, Ipe. He talked about methods for footings and gravel for ventilation and deck coloured screws. We learnt about Privacy fences and railings. An hour into his visit he had a price estimate ready for us right on the spot with drawings and the calculations on how he arrived at the price. We were left impressed with his professionalism and knowledge but we still wanted other opinions and prices. None one else measured up in price or instilled the level of confidence we had in Anton. Even when informing other deck builders and GC's of the price we were quoted they just couldn't match our estimate with Beaver Brothers. I had such confidence that I recommended my in laws to meet with Anton for an estimate. I took a great risk putting my reputation as a son in law at risk and a life time of "i told you so" on the line. Anton and his crew did not let me down. A couple weeks later we both confirmed with Beaver Brothers for Early May. In Early May after selecting the colour we were informed by Anton that there was going to be a delay due to supply issues for our particular colour with Azek. But Anton reassured us that he would be removing the old deck and starting the framing nonetheless so that everything would be ready for when the decking arrived. Although there was a delay we never felt frustrated or in the dark due to Anton's updates and constant communication. Delays can happen with situations outside anyone's control but how a company deals with such issues is what sets them apart, Beaver Brothers perfectly exemplifies this. By late May our decking was in and with the framing already in place at both locations the job was completed in a matter of days. Anton and his crew were extremely clean setting their tools off to the side and cleaning up scraps everyday, they even took the extra step to set down plywood boards to walk on in certain areas where they were working. I couldn't be happier with the craftsmanship and level of service that Beaver Brothers provided. Everyone was tidy extremely polite, courteous and friendly. I cannot recommend Beaver Brothers enough, meet Anton for a quote and you will see the level of expertise they provide and the pride they take in their craftsmanship and doing things the right way.

Dafoe Roofing was recommended to by a City employee who I had a great deal of trust in. Instead I went against that advice. Once the roof reshingling fell victim to high wind and it was shown that the original roofing contractor had skimped on nails per shingle and other workmanship, they refused to honour their warranty. Left on my own I had to file an insurance claim, the adjusters and restoration company recommended Dafoe Roofing. Dafoe was kind courteous and punctual. They rushed the repair job and completed the job promptly, giving it the urgency it deserved. They completely cleaned up after themselves leaving the site area in great condition. I should have listened to the recommendations from the get go and just hired Dafoe Roofing!
