I needed to have some sealing done quickly, and Andrei was able to fit me in that same afternoon. He was conscientious about the quality of the work he did, and suggested a modification of what I had asked for, to improve the project without adding any cost. He was careful to make sure the work met my needs for sealing and insulation, and that it looked good, even where it would be mostly blocked from view. After the sealing was done I asked Andrei about the other kinds of work Silicone Seals does. Definitely a company to keep in mind.

It was time to re-paint the exterior of my 90 year old East York bungalow. Home Painters responded quickly to my inquiry, came through with a competitive quote, and agreed to schedule the work at a time that was good for me. The job included stucco walls, brick trim, fascia, some siding, the front porch, window frames, wood doors, and aluminum storm doors. There was a fair amount of detailed work, which the painters did carefully. Their handyman service took care of some carpentry repairs. Everyone I dealt with at Home Painters including Sam who provided the quote and Ryan who organized the team was friendly, responsive, and professional. A positive experience.

I contacted Downtown Roofing when the company I thought was going to replace my roof was unable to do it because of staff turnover. My roof was in bad shape, and needed either repairs or a full replacement before the cold weather and snow came. Downtown Roofing said they could do the work quickly. I talked with some neighbours who were happy with the replacements they had done for them. So I went for a full roof replacement, including shingles and a small flat roof area. I also needed more ventilation for the attic, since I had recently added insulation. Downtown Roofing gave me information about alternative types of vents I could choose from. The work was done quickly and went smoothly. The roof looks great. Downtown Roofing came through when I was in a difficult situation and I’m very happy with their work.

Two summers ago, I noticed some mold in my basement and tried to take care of it myself. But the following summer, I found mold had spread throughout the basement. I contacted Mold.ca, partly because of a recommendation from another tradesman and partly because the company offered follow-up services to restore the site after the mold was gone. After 30 years, my basement was filled with things I didn’t need any more (aka junk), and the floor and walls needed attention and painting. What I got from Mold.ca was a two-part package, which first took care of the mold, and then transformed the basement from an embarrassment into one that is getting positive comments from friends and tradesmen. The attitude of the Mold.ca staff was excellent. They made this an easy experience for me, not just answering my questions but also giving me the kind of information along the way that made it unnecessary to ask many questions. I heard them working together as a team, sharing information as they did their work. They painted the walls with mold-resistant paint, and I got good information about how to avoid ever having a recurrence of mold. In addition, they didn’t only attend to the details of the work as scoped out; they also provided advice on other areas, and made one or two quick fixes on the spot at no charge. They made me feel comfortable about contacting them in the future for other reconstruction/ handyman services I might need. Like the other reviewers I see on Homestars, I highly recommend Mold.ca.

I called for a quote on Tuesday, they arrived at 8 am Wednesday morning, and were done a couple of hours later. It couldn't have been easier or more pleasant. They went out of their way to correct a deficiency in the hatch door which I was not aware of. My feelings are the same as all the other positive and enthusiastic reviews here. I will recommend Zenic to anyone I know who has insulation work they need done.

Two years ago, Dave spent a few days doing a wide variety of work on my house, and all that work has held up in great shape since then. Last week, Dave came back to take care of the kinds of things that come up with a house, including re-attaching a rain gutter that had fallen down, some patching and painting of my house exterior, fixing and replacing faucets, re-fitting a thermostat that had been installed badly, re-gluing chairs that were falling apart, and giving advice on installing new window shades. What Dave is providing now is the kind of reliable, ongoing support that I hadn’t been able to find before, and that makes life much easier for me as a homeowner.

Dave did a great job with a whole range of items that had been building up over several years. Dave's approach to the work was as impressive as the quality of the results. For the biggest of the jobs, Dave gave me two options, and told me the cost and benefits of each, which helped me make a good decision what to do. For another job, Dave saw that a fast and easy adjustment would make it unnecessary to replace what I thought needed replacing, which saved over an hour's work and the replacement cost. The work was done in the spring and summer and everything is holding up perfectly. Dave was professional, courteous and reliable -- a very positive experience.
