In short - this is the second time we have purchased a Lennox furnace through Richard and it was another great experience. I highly recommend CoreTemp. For more detail: We told Richard that we needed a high efficiency furnace in our last house because we were going to be there forever. That was not the case because with two kids we ended up needing more space and moved Oakville. The new house was 30 years old and the furnace was OK. I had asked Richard to inspect it and make sure it was safe. He checked everything and said we should not have any issues. He noticed however that the venting was incorrect and recommended someone to fix the ductwork. His colleague arrived within a few days, confirmed that there was just some minor duct repairs needed and provided an estimate. He returned that week to start the work. To our dismay - he found that the venting was not to code once opened up and required about a $800 to re-route. Together with Richard we decided to invest the money in a new high efficiency Lennox furnace and tankless water heater (through another great company AlphaAire). His guidance and support was great. He also checked in with us during the installation to make sure everything was being done well in coordination with the water heater. Richard is sincere, helpful, considerate and it is a pleasure working him and Janice (who made sure we took advantage of any Lennox/Government rebates for a high efficiency furnace)

In short - fantastic experience, great work, good price. Cathy and the team at City Home were fabulous to work with: During the initial enquiry - they were very responsive and patient (I had originally started discussion in 2010 but did not end up doing anything until 2012...and surprisingly they still had my inquiry on file). The actual installation - we could not have been more pleased. We have custom cabinetry and a very odd shaped island (hence the high cost for just a litle bit of granite - and the reason why Ikea pricing worked out to almost $8000). Cathy advised on how to maximize the use of the granite - but even more important for our discerning design/finishing requirements - they paid attention to the grain of the granite and trying to keep the look consistent/even throughout. Cathy took detailed measurements, advised on the removal of the existing tile counter tops, discussed any additional buildup/work required before they put in the new tops. The removal and installation crews were great, cleaned up well and workmanship was excellent. They also installed the under-mount sink we bought through them and we are very happy. Thanks again for the great work!

In short - Milorad was fantastic to work with....a true professional and great at what he does. He came in to quote the job one evening. With our old house and walls that were not level - we were worried that it would be a very complicated project. Milorad took measurements, examined the work area, and with his years of experience confirmed that it was not a problem. He left us with a quote and because I was impressed with his knowledge, his friendly nature and the trust he instilled once I asked him a million questions (and his pricing seemed in line with other reviews I had read) there was no question in my mind to go with Milorad Tiling. We set up a date convenient for us to have the work done. He arrived on time, worked into the early evening to make sure all the main work was done in one day. This allowed him to do the grout the next day. It was amazing...could not believe how well he was able to work around our wonky walls. He kept his workspace very clean, was conscientious about our kids being in the house, and just a perfectionist. A few days in - one of the grout sections was cracking (because of our walls/cold). We called Milorad and he said he would come fix it (we thought re-patch) but he said that would not be good enough quality and said he would remove and grout in that section to be safe. Very happy to know that he wants to make sure the job is done right. We would definitely recommend Milorad.

I found Richard through Homestars. Because of the great reviews I had called him to come in for general maintenance and to check our 20 year old furnace. He responded to my enquiry even while he was on holiday to make sure it was not an urgent problem....amazing. We had an issue with our furnace in the past 2 years but never really investigated further. When Richard came to check he found some serious rust and was worried about my two little kids in the house with the emissions and recommended a new furnace. He did not pressure me to use CoreTemp. He explained the issues, the furnace he would recommend and was very detailed in all his recommendations. I called two other well rated companies (through homestars) and got quotes for a new furnace. All were very good and professional - but in the end we went with Richard because he was very approachable, conscientious, explained his recommendations, and even though he was MORE expensive than the other companies, we trusted his recommendation and felt that he took a lot of pride in his work and wanted to give us the RIGHT furnace for our needs. He accidentally forgot to quote the water pump/condensor unit but did not charge me extra because he said it was his mistake (very good of him). He also installed a humidifier and to comment on the work: Richard and his assistant were on time, conscientious of the kids' nap time, adjustments to the duct-work was done well, workmanship was great, cleaned up after themselves and any additional follow up questions were answered promptly by Richard or Janice. Best of all - we noticed a marked difference and improvement to our airflow and heating in our house. All in all - very very happy with Richard and his team and we know that if we ever need him - he would answer his phone - or even call us back during his holiday :) . I would definitely recommend CoreTemp. Small company but big on service and great at what they do. Thanks.

Valentin did a fantastic job for us. It was a small job but he knew we did not have any water in the kitchen and was able to schedule our work between other jobs he had. He arrived in the time discussed, was very friendly, knowledgeable, explained what he recommended and why, did the work quickly and left the area very neat and tidy once completed. I would not hesitate to call Valentin again for any other plumbing work in our house.
