Our driveway, concrete front porch, walkways, and backyard patio were in a bad need of repair. We were glad to be recommended Green Side Up. Jay was very thorough in explaining our options for pavers, stone steps and flagstone slabs for the porch while Rob ran the whole project as a real professional. We asked for and had some changes added in-flight. There were challenges with the availability of the materials that we preferred and Green Side Up made huge efforts to procure the pavers from a supplier that was at least an hour and a half away from our house. If we had another house, we wouldn't have hesitated to turn to Green Side Up again.

We purchased and had our blinds installed at the end of a very serious renovation year-and-a-half ago. We were quite happy with the delivery and installation. The blinds look great to that day and we are glad we made that choice. We recently had a problem with one of the rollers, likely because of too much force applied. I called Paul at Trendy Blinds who came and fix the problem very promptly even though it wasn't an urgent situation. The company not only has a great selection but they also stand behind their products.

It wasn’t a house renovation in the beginning but rather two leaky second-floor bathrooms in a desperate need of repair. Then we added the kitchen to the wish list (not touched since the house was built in the mid 1980-ies and clearly showing it). After reading the reviews here (yes, we know online reviews could be fake) and a few interviews with renovation companies, we chose Level Q. We didn’t ask for references and somehow went with them on gut feeling It could have been a costly mistake, but probably turned out to be the best decision we had made. Ehab leads a great team of professionals, manages a tight schedule, listens to what we ask, isn’t afraid to tell us when we are wrong and doesn’t mind getting his own hands dirty with some plumbing job. We were so happy with the design, the speed of work, and the workmanship of the bathroom reno that, while our kitchen was still a completely gutted out mess, we added second floor hardwood installation (strong espresso doesn’t magically disappear from the carpet no matter what kind of cleaner you apply), attic insulation, first floor hardwood refinishing, powder room reno, painting everywhere. In other words, the only place that wasn’t touched was the basement – we had to live somewhere after all. Which brings us back to the kitchen. It’s a small one but the complete custom design that Ehab and his crew conceived, manufactured, and installed, after carefully listening to our needs, made it our favourite corner in the house. Great job!
