Thank you to Gary, Alex and Demetri for replacing our damaged eavestrough. Gary responded to my inquiry with a free in-person consultation and came prepared with a color palate and approach to fix the damaged eavestrough. After the work was approved, he kept me in the loop about the arrival of the team - Alex and Demetri. They arrived on time, and worked together to replace with a new piece and rejoined at the existing corners. They applied plenty of caulking to ensure no leakage. Above all, their workmanship is backed with a 3-year warranty! Thank you again and it looks like new :) Take care!

We want to acknowledge the work that Scott and Andrew did for the duct cleaning services this week. You guys are superstars in the industry - they arrived earlier than the scheduled time and called us prior to inform us, answered all of our questions before and during the cleaning, cleaned our ducts with high levels of detail and care, and treated our home as if it was theirs! They were honest about their assessment prior to duct cleaning and gave us a choice to continue or not. We decided since we did some renovations, it would be wise to conduct the duct cleaning even though the before photos look OK. Little did we know that Scott was able to find two beer bottles in the ducts during the cleaning. They also had a particle reading before and after, and patched up any holes made in the duct work for cleaning. Overall, it was a great experience and we would definitely recommend them to our family and friends! The lifetime warranty is a bonus and certainly something that is unique to this company and speaks about their ongoing commitment to all of their customers. All the best to Scott, Andrew, and the Dave's duct cleaning team! Cheers!

What a complete upside-down transformation of our backyard space! It turned from the “untamed bushy wild forest” to the “oasis of our dreams” that we will enjoy forever with family and friends!! As you can see from the Before & After photos, Curtis and Rahim did AMAZING job that included natural limestone steps, armor rocks, over 450+ square feet of Permacon’s Melville 60mm Scandina Grey and Rockland Black, shed base, and new sods. Our journey with Curtis at Tarcan International Ltd. began with an on-site consultation about the design, materials, process, and costs. A rough sketch along with the costs breakdown were provided after the initial consultation. The cost was reasonable given the scope of the project and we were delighted to hear about the 2-year warranty because other companies that we interviewed only include 1-year of warranty. The project took about 8 days and Curtis and Rahim always worked with a smile on their face! They were very approachable and welcome any questions that we may have given that this is our first experience with backyard landscaping. They had high work ethic, high attentions to detail, were meticulous, took their time to plan and execute the vision, did not cut any corners, and worked extremely well together. They operated multiple machines in very small spaces and were very careful about surrounding objects (e.g., building, fence, air conditioners). An unintended impact of the machinery and the materials used was the walkway slabs leading to our backyard, which were shared between us and our neighbours. Because of the weight, all of the walkway slabs cracked in half. When we brought it up with Curtis the following morning, he took responsibility for the unintended consequence and agreed to replace them with the exact walkway slabs in the end of the project. It is not often that we encounter someone that is honest and has integrity in their work. We (and our neighbours) were extremely happy with this news. Above all, Curtis and Rahim did not just replace the walkway slabs, I saw them level the ground first, add aggregates as needed, and then placed the new walkway slabs. They even added polymeric sand in between the slabs to avoid weeds and unwanted vegetations! These actions demonstrated to us that they really cared about their clients and about their workmanship and is willing to go above and beyond our expectations! All in all, we are grateful for Curtis and Rahim, and for all of the hard work, time and sweat equity to transform the space that we will treasure and cherish for many years to come! We wish you all the best in your future endeavours and may our paths cross again!

Thank you Markham Garage Doors for the installation of a new garage opener by LiftMaster. Our journey began with several conversations with the Markham Garage Doors staff, including Chris, Frieda and Louis. As this is our first time replacing the garage opener, all the staff members treated us with respect and patience. We initially wanted to repair the garage opener, but because of its age, we sought advice to repair or to replace. Throughout the multiple conversations, honest expert advice was provided and there was not a moment of pressure to buy or upsell. In the end, we decided on a new unit because of the belt drive, quiet performance, lifetime warranty, and the WIFI capability of the LifeMaster garage opener. Gustavo was our installer and he called prior to arrival, worked efficiently and professionally to take down the old unit and replaced with the new unit. After his work, he taught us how to maintain the unit and showed us the lubricant that should be used. Lastly, he examined the other parts of our garage, including the door, hinges and spring, to ensure a good working condition, and lubricated the parts. We were also interested in the capping and he got us a quote right away from Louis. All in all, we would recommend Markham Garage Doors to our family and friends because of their values, quality work and client-centric service! Thank you Gustavo, Louis and the rest of the Markham Garage Door team. We wish you all the best :)

We had a wonderful experience with Markham Flooring. We walked into the store knowing limited about hardwood floors, and left with knowledge, shared experiences and confidence in our selection. Richard welcomed us into the showroom, showed us a variety of hardwood brands and color, and explained the textures, width and types. He recommended the Mirage hardwood and we felt in love at first sight. After the visit, we emailed Richard back and forth to finalize a quote. In the end, we went back to the store for a second time to view the samples and came away with an order of the Mirage Maple Rio Cashmere Exclusive solid hardwood for our second floor. The order came within two weeks and was notified via phone and email. The communication, professionalism and customer centric service demostrated by Richard was top-notch and we would definitely recommend him to our family and friends! Thank you again for your service and all the best to the Markham Flooring team, on behalf of our family!

What an amazing experience it was with Watermart! The installation of the water softener began with George - he came to our home on time in the 1-hour agreed upon interval, assessed the situation in the furnace room, explained and answered my questions of the system and procedures involved, installed the softener with care, cleaned up the working area, taught me how to maintain the unit and the salt preferred. He was kind and patient in answering all of our questions. He also followed-up the next day to add a foam around the tubing to avoid direct contact with the metal vents. Thank you George for your time and efforts! Equally amazing was Donna - who answered our initial request for a water softener. She inquired about our home and offered an option that met our current and future needs. She was genuine, did not pressure us to buy, and allowed us to take our time to examine and review all options available to us. In the end, like many of the other homeowners on HomeStars and Google, we are extremely satisfied and happy with the service and products provided by Watermart. The team truly puts their clients first and offers a first-class customer experience!! We wish all the best to the Watermart team, on behalf of our family, and we look forward to working with you again on future water system needs for our family.

We had an extremely positive experience with Reliance. It began with our advisor, Michael, who completed an initial in-home consultation about a new furnace and a new humidifier in our basement. The package that he designed for us met our needs and our home size. He did not upsell us on a higher model and was very thorough in explaining all of the details since we are first time home owners. His experience as an installer really helped put us at ease. He was able to schedule an installation shortly after. The installers, led by Sepehr, were on time and worked well together to install both the furnace and the humidifier. He also installed the Google Nest and taught us how to operate them. He even helped us to cap the gas line that leads to the BBQ in the backyard. After the installation, we had a few questions and Michael came back to our home, examined the work done and discussed the rationale of the work completed and how they were accordance to codes. We felt a peace of mind and we appreciate the work by Michael, Sepehr and his partner. Thank you!!

Stefano is an amazing home inspector! As first-time home buyers, we knew limited information about the home inspection process, the details of the home and any potential "red flags". He exceeded our expectations and went above and beyond! First, he came early to the property to examine the exterior. He allowed us to shadow him so that he could show us what the issues were and how to address them. He took detailed notes, took photos and had a detailed report for us. He answered all of our questions with fulsome explanations during the inspection. He was patient, kind and caring! When we had questions after the inspection for home insurance, we texted him and he called us immediately and provided the answers to us. He really cares about his clients and we are very grateful!! All in all, I would recommend Stefano to my friends and family!
