Spike in Toronto

I've used TTT for 2 houses, for cleaning and repairs. Each time, the crews came when scheduled, performed the agreed upon work, and actually cleaned the downspouts, unlike some other companies I've tried or heard about. Pierce and his crews gave me sound advice, and fixed what he could instead of replacing to save me money in the short term. He provided recommendations and quotes but was never pushy. I very much recommend Tip Top Trough.

I priced out very similar DIY shed kits from all the big box stores that sell DIY kits. For the same price, I received 2x4 construction instead of 2x3, 16" OC floor joists instead of 24" OC. I also had the choice of choosing everything else I needed/wanted such as shingles and colour, drip edge, # of windows, ramp, cinder-block raised base for floor. All the information you need is on their website, with an online quote form that allows you to mix and match any options they offer. The request is submitted online and a response is emailed back to you. All communication was prompt and professional and they answered all my questions before placing the order. I really wanted to install the shed myself, but we had just moved in, started a new job, had a 2-year-old to care for, unpacking, etc. to do so we opted to have Shed in a Day install as well. They were in and out in about 4 hours. The shed seems very solid; all the options I chose were installed; there was NO MESS when they left. It's only been a few months so I can't comment on longevity, but it looks like it will stand up to many years of weather with the right care.

Like other reviewers, I called multiple companies to quote on a fix for my eaves troughs that were pulling away from the soffits and spilling water onto the ground below. One company promised to call back to arrange a time for a visit, and others never called back. Only Pierce followed through. There were some communication difficulties due to technology issues, but when Pierce did show up, he was thorough, explained the options of repair and replace, and never did a hard sell on replacing everything instead of a quick repair. He had a cancellation and job was done sooner than expected. The work looks very well done (it's 2 storeys up!), and after several rains, the water is no longer spilling over the edges onto the ground. I fully intend to call TTT again for downspout disconnection and when replacing is necessary.

I also met HDD at the Home Show and asked for a quote. Geoff asked many questions to understand what we wanted. He presented an initial design based on what we discussed, and the revised once we told him what we were "really" looking for. The design was perfect. The advice was always just advice, never pressure. We ended up choosing the TigerDeck product, a Brazillian Hardwood, or Ipe. It's the most expensive product around, but was well worth it. Geoff was flexible, honest and prompt. Sam, the installer is a MASTER CRAFTSMAN. His cuts, joints, lines are all perfect. I have since moved to New Brunswick but would seriously think about bringing Geoff and Sam out to do a deck here!

Based in Shediac but serves Moncton. Installed the gas line from the new gas stove to the existing gas pipe. Also installed the quick release box for the gas BBQ. Fast, polite service, came when promised, explained how everything worked. Would definitely use them again.

After months of trying to get my (former) electrician out to quote on running power to my detached garage, I found Jerry on Homestars. He responded the next day, and gave me a quote within 5 days. He worked around the schedule of other contractors, did exactly what he said he would do, arranged for the inspection (passed!). I won't hesitate to use him again, or to recommend!

I shopped around to have my old garage rebuilt, and was getting quotes in the neighborhood of $20k! Duro-Shed was prompt, knew their stuff, and brought great 3rd party trades to complete work they didn't do. Their product is made from pre-formed engineered wood panels, and their work is guaranteed for 2 years. The building went up in 2 days, and is the nicest part of my house! Highly recommended!
