Shane in Scarborough

I was doing a masonry job for a Client of mine in Forest Hill. He told me of an issue he had with his wood burning fireplace chimney. There are two fireplaces on different levels exhausting through this chimney. Both had poor draft flow (the smoke was coming back in). I needed help with this so I called A1 Quality Chimney to come in to assess the situation. They were able to get their senior technician to the site the following day. This was desirable to me as it fit into me and my client’s busy schedule. Upon inspection they were able to isolate and resolve the cause of the issue in very short order. They also fully cleaned both fireplaces and chimneys and instructed my client on the best practices for using his fireplaces to prevent the situation from occurring again. A1's promptness and care in handling the situation tells me I got the right guys to do the job. I have since recommended A1 Quality Chimney in cases that required special attention and for regular cleanings. They have helped me by helping my clients. I recommend A1.

Honest contractor! I have heard many people talk about the precariousness of renovations and finding good people. Everything from shoddy workmanship to downright rip-off - there are shows about this on TV all the time. I too am a contractor and I wouldn't want poor service as I don't give it! Ours was a fair sized project. In discussing this with Simone she didn't have any concern about accommodating us on it. Due to finances, the first leg of the renovation entailed one bedroom. She handled this perfectly. Seeing the fantastic change we quickly figured out the finances and she started the full basement renovation. With Simone's ability and knowledge she guided us through many situations as to what should be done. This was very desirable. As I do brickwork for a living (Shane Oake Brick Mason) and know little about renovating the inside of a house. I didn't want to fumble through our first big renovation. Simone helped us every step of the way and didn’t allow that to happen! She actually did the work - no stream of sub-contractors through the house. I am sure this had an impact on the price too. The basement was already partially renovated before we took over the house. This didn’t mean much. She could have made a show about past bad work as she discovered many non-standard / out-code actions. Due to her knowledge and ability she negotiated the pitfalls of the inferior work and handled all aspects thoroughly. I commend her for this. Simone is one of the good ones. She is a knowledgeable and an able renovator. I have not hesitated to recommend Simone - Infinite Flooring and Renovations - to anybody. She does great work. I will have her renovate the other aspects of my home in due time. Thanks Simone. Best, Shane Oake
