We recently rehired Nanette to help us design and source a custom sectional sofa bed. Nanette suggested Grand Duke's upholstery. She and Vince from Grand Duke's created the perfect sofa for our very challenging needs (including getting it down a set of stairs only 25" wide!). We were amazed that the sofa was completed in only 2 weeks and we're thrilled with the final product. It is very solid and the craftsmanship is readily apparent. It is also extremely comfortable and looks great. Both Nanette and Vince were a pleasure to work with - and it's made the area our new favourite room! Thanks again to you both.

We hired Sobol to replace the remaining old windows and doors in our Victorian semi-detached; 4 double-hung, 2 picture windows, 1 exterior glass door, and 1 exterior aluminum door with integral blind. From the outset they were among the best contractor/services we have hired. We had another major window company provide a quote. In comparison, Sobol (Archiel and Kozue) conducted a thorough assessment of our work, provided a highly detailed quote, and clearly indicated the installation timeframe (they were quite busy). Archiel provided helpful advice about window and door options, and sent several alternative quotes for coloured aluminum exteriors and architectural door handles – which we ultimately selected. The installation crew was also great – they took the necessary time to ensure that the finishes were well done (including virtually rebuilding our deteriorated wood door frames), and the daily clean-up was excellent. There were no extra costs above the original quote. It has been several months since the installation was completed and we are very pleased with the product and quality of the installation. We would highly recommend Sobol Inc. [We would also recommend selecting one of their custom colours for exterior windows and doors – the additional cost was minimal but the result was a significant upgrade over standard white.]

We hired Cosmopolitan to install a new high efficiency variable-speed furnace (Lennox G61V), central air conditioner (Lennox XC13), thermostat (ComfortSense 5000), and central humidifier (Lennox HCWB). Their central dispatch sent a representative (Shan) out to assess and quote our work within one day. He provided great customer service – answered all of our questions, provided links to on-line information about their products (Lennox and Amana), and provided helpful advice to distinguish valuable features from unnecessary extras. Installation was scheduled within one week, which included time to prepare custom sheet metal. The installation crew was also great – they removed the old furnace and had all of the new equipment installed in one day. The connections and supply/return lines were neatly installed, and their clean-up was excellent. We are very pleased with the work and would highly recommend Cosmopolitan.

We hired Mike Scott for 2 separate jobs – (1) to replace the old, uneven and deteriorating concrete floor in our basement and (2) to provide a new concrete walkway between our neighbour’s house and ours. Mike quickly responded to our initial inquiry with a site assessment, outline of work, and price quote. Mike’s team was friendly and provided great customer service – they arrived on time, stayed on schedule, and responded to questions we had. They completed the work with minimal disruption and the clean-up was excellent. There were no extra costs above the original quote even though some of the work was more difficult than expected. It has been several months since the installation was completed and we are very pleased with the quality of the work. We would highly recommend Mike and his team.
