Remove front lawn grass and replace with soil and new sod; remove and replace decorative fence

This was not the first time we've dealt with the TAG team and as with the previous work, we were very pleased. Tom provided a detailed estimate and went over the work with us. His team did an excellent job and were very professional. The work was done in a timely manner and it looks great. Tom always follows up to ensure clients are happy. We would not hesitate to recommend TAG to others.

Fence Repair and Shed Removal/Installation

The guys did a great job fixing my fence and removing my old shed and replacing it with a new one which had to be put together. They showed up on time and completed the work in the time stated. They even picked up my new shed from the store!
Thanks for a job well done.

Retaining wall and sod replacement

We consulted several companies to provide estimates to remove and replace a deteriorating 50-foot long wooden retaining wall in a part of the back garden. In our research, we were referred to Tom and The Anything Guys (TAG) by trusted friends. Tom responded quickly and freely offered expert advice and suggestions regarding how to improve our initial proposals. He then provided a detailed estimate for the work, an estimate that was competitive with other companies.

Complicating the work timeline were the heat of July 2016 and the need for TAG to provide and work with mechanical earthmoving equipment in a very confined space. TAG tradesmen were amazing in their capability to handle the earthmoving equipment with precision (including passing the earthmover/backhoe through an existing arbour with literally one-half an inch of clearance) and the subsequent accompanying wheelbarrow work required by tradesmen in the heat of summer to remove and replace a huge quantity of earth.

Once underway, based on recommendations from Tom and Andre, it was mutually agreed that part of the remediation would be better accomplished by removing the existing adjacent lawn and replacing it with new sod. The additional cost required beyond the original estimate was reasonable, and the work done was also excellent and done within the original timeline. Throughout, Tom and Andre continued to provide detailed explanations of how the work was progressing, including further recommendations for improving our original proposals.

All of the TAG employees were pleasant, efficient and professional throughout. Final cleanup and remediation (including arisings such as siding repairs) were done quickly and professionally. The TAG staff members were always on time each day, and were easy to contact by phone or e-mail. In spite of arisings, TAG professionals were able to complete the necessary work within a reasonable timeframe.

We are now in discussion with TAG for additional paving stone and asphalt work, and hope to be able to again engage TAG services for this additional task.

Bathroom and closet reno

We hired TAG after consulting with various companies. Their quote was most competitive both in terms of cost and timeline. Despite some challenges working with our old home (approx 100 years), the team did a great job and we couldn't be happier with the final result. Everyone at TAG was great to work with. The communication was also a strong point with Tom and company. Would definitely work with them again.

Preparation for sale of house.

TAG provided a wide range of services that enabled me to put my house on the market. They repainted my entire house, installed new flooring in the entrance way and kitchen. As well, they replaced the carpeting in my sun room and bedroom with hardwood flooring. In addition to this they removed a great deal of unwanted clutter. Where necessary they also replaced aging light fixtures and fans. In the master bathroom they put in a brand new vanity counter top.

I was extremely impressed with the quality of their work and how quickly they were able to get my house ready for the listing. The house sold the first day it went on the market! I couldn't have done this so quickly and hassle free if I hadn't hired a company like TAG that had the resources to handle all my needs. I highly recommend them!

Rental Unit Refresh

Tom quickly provided me with a competitive quote to complete the following work;
1. Install a new floor in unit entrance
2. Build bulkhead and install mirrored sliding closet doors
3. New flooring , counter, ceramic trim, sink and fixture in powder room

Work was done in short order while keeping site clean. Will do more such projects together in the near future and would gladly recommend to neighbors for their projects.

Painting and Millwork

Tom and his team did a terrific job with the painting and millwork at my house. It was not an easy job as there were curved walls and an arched window to deal with as well as a stippled ceiling repair, and they executed perfectly. I definitely recommend them.
