Lisa from Scarborough in Toronto

Part of our down-pipe on the second story just fell off and we now had a hole in our eaves where it used to be attached. Our neighbour had just hired Ontario Downspout 3 weeks prior to replace his eaves system and I could see the quality of the work they did for him. I called and discussed the option to repair or replace our system. I got great advice on the pros and cons of each option and decided that our builder-grade system was on its last legs. Because we had a hole in our eaves, they scheduled us quickly to minimize damage due to the missing piece. I really appreciated the sense of urgency that they gave to our problem and it gave me great peace of mind. I was worried about the colour options and was pleasantly surprised to see all the colour choices. I found one that perfectly matched our metal roof. It looks like it was part of the original roof and it makes the house look more custom. I couldn't be happier with the end result. Neighbours have stopped to comment on the colour and how nice the new system looks. The new eaves and down-pipes are bigger than the old ones and are now properly positioned to direct the water from the house. It may not be the most exciting thing to get new eaves but the peace of mind that the water won't run into my basement is priceless. Thank You to the whole team at Ontario Downspout Service for your fast, excellent work.

Thank you to Design-Spec Building Group Ltd. for a wonderful renovation and wonderful renovation experience. Design-Spec renovated our entire main floor of our house which involved moving walls and installing complex steel beams in the ceiling. We now have an amazing open kitchen and family room. Our number one fear going into this renovation was that our house would be pulled apart and then the work would slow or stop preventing us from moving back into our home but that was not a worry with Design-Spec. They assigned us a dedicated site supervisor as well as a dedicated project manager. Both were friendly and very responsive to our needs and questions. We really felt like we had not only a team working for us but friends who cared as much as we did about our renovation. Every day they showed up and we're working on our house which was a great comfort to us. The other thing that we love about Design-Spec was their full service approach to renovations. They provided us with an architect and worked with the city to get all our permits. Once they started they were able to take full control of the project. And best of all their workers and craftsmen took a lot of pride in their work and we feel that the construction work on our home is excellent. We are back in our home now and we are loving our new space. But it’s more than just loving the changes. Our home functions better and feels better. Even though we didn’t expand the space it seems to flow and our new kitchen is wonderful for parties and large family get-togethers. This was our first renovation and we were nervous but Design-Spec was a perfect partner. We would recommend them to family and friends and would be excited to have them renovate for us again on future projects.

We are renovating our main floor of our house and I knew that I wanted the floor to be the focal point. I chose a herringbone pattern and I knew it needed an experienced installer to install the complex pattern. I had heard from a friend that their service was great when she did her floor. She was right. The Floor Shop (Leaside) installer was amazing! His attention to detail was like watching an artist at work. You would think he was installing the floor in his own home. Thank you so much for doing such a wonderful job. This floor has given my builder-box home beautiful character and warmth.
