I needed to have my gutters cleaned after years of neglect. Since I was a bit apprehensive to climb on the roof of my two-storey home, I hired professionals. They were great to deal with and the price was reasonable. They even showed me pictures of the work, which was a good thing because I wouldn't have gone to check myself.

We hired Crowe to remove two diseased trees from our property. Kevin and his crew were very professional troughout yet approachable, easygoing and accommodating. The whole experience was painless. They took care of the locates so that the stump from the front yard could be safely grinded, and of the permit process with the City for the larger tree in the backyard. Removing the tree in the backyard was tricky since space was limited but the Crowe crew were up to the challenge. We would not hesitate to hire them again or recommend them to others.

I had previously hired Mr. Vail to investigate a mystery leak that was causing damage indoors. Impressed with his thoroughness, I didn't hesitate to hire him again to renovate our bathroom once the source of the leak was fixed. Again, I wasn't disappointed with the work and would not hesitate to hire Mr. Vail the next time I need his services.

Of all the roofing companies I've had to deal with over the years, Dunrite (now Brival) was the most professional of the bunch. The experience was painless from beginning to end and the communication was great throughout. I am very happy with the work they did.

We hired Mr. Vail to close up a hole in an exterior wall that was opened to investigate a leak. To our dismay, we discovered that the water leak problem hadn't gone away. Even though this was more than he bargained for, Mr. Vail agreed to return to investigate the leak further. Thanks his doggedness, Mr. Vail was able to trace the leak to the exact spot on the roof while patiently answering the multitude of questions we had. Although it was not the result we were looking for, we are very grateful to Mr. Vail to have finally uncovered the problem. We previously had thrown a lot of good money to get to the root of this problem but now, thanks to Mr. Vail's undeterred efforts, we feel confident that we can fix it for good.

Our experience with Anchor was very professional through and through, from the coordinator and salesperson to the installer. The salesperson offered practical solutions without focussing on upselling (another firm wanted to replace the furnace as well). We had our hearts set on tankless for space reasons but the representative also offered the option of simply relocating a new tank, which would also provide more space but for a lot cheaper. I'll seriously consider Anchor when the time comes to replace our furnace. Much of the business can be conducted electronically (scheduling, etc.) that I haven't seen often in this industry and that I appreciated. The installer actually showed up early. The installer clearly explained the pros and cons of each relocation optionts without pushing too aggressively for the one that would be more expedient for him. The installers were friendly, very competent and left the area clean once the work was completed. As far as replacing a water heater is concerned, I couldn't ask for a better experience overall.

Kaloozie Comfort did great work on our home, on time and on budget. We hired Kaloozie to replace the siding on the east side of our home. Water was leaking into the house and we couldn't determine from where. We opened up part of the wall from inside and we could see rot to the point where there was a large hole in a panel and we could see the siding from the inside. We were fearing the worst as it was impossible to see the extent of the damage without removing all the siding. Kaloozie removed the old siding and replaced the most rotted panels. I appreciate that they didn't go overboard and keeping some panels that were still structurally sound, keeping the budget in check. New siding was installed with great care, cutting out the sections around the electric meter and properly finishing it. A hood vent that we suspected was the cause of the leak was replaced. The windows were properly capped to further protect from leaking. We had a few bouts of torrential rain since the work was performed and we're happy to report that water is no longer leaking into the home. We're very happy with the work and our representative was easy to deal with. We never felt pressured or mislead. We would happily recommend Kaloozie for siding work and we will seriously consider them when our roof will need work.

We were very pleased with the work Distinctive did on our kitchen. The project actually turned out better than anticipated. It was a quite large undertaking (by our standards) where two walls were removed and where ducts and plumbing needed to be redirected. The near totality of the work was done within schedule. There were a few outliers at the end, but we had full use of the kitchen and we never felt they were being ignored. It started off with a visit from the designer to our home where she asked many pertinent questions about our cooking and entertaining habits. She was conscientious and patient with all our questions throughout the process. We never felt rushed having to pick out a multitude of options. The actual work went as well as it possibly could. The workers showed up early in the morning and would leave by dinner time, but not before cleaning up so we could have a semblance of a routine during this tumultuous time. Problems would arise as they're wont to do but they were always nipped in the bud and fixed before they became huge issues. Communication remained open with the project manager, on-site manager, designer and staff throughout the project. We had a lot of work done in the house but nothing quite as big as this kitchen reno. Yet, it was the smoothest execution of them all.
