M&C from Markham

Our chimney needed repair due to general wear and tear over the years. Using Homestars, I contacted a couple of Chimney Build & Repair companies. Bill from The Chimney Company was the first to respond back to me for the job and a quote. Bill promptly arrived at my house to look at my chimney, assess the work required and provide me with a quote to perform the work. Bill also informed me that he was quite busy and gave me an approximate time frame for starting the work. I must say I was very impressed with Bill and the Chimney Company. Bill and his crew eventually arrived on site to do a complete chimney rebuild from the roofline up. They did a fabulous job from start to finish (the rebuilt chimney looked great) including cleanup (no mess after the work was done) and the price was very reasonable. The Homestars rating for Bill and the Chimney Company was also very good. I would definitely recommend Bill and the Chimney Company for any of your chimney repairs.

Our kitchen sink was backed up so we called a few plumbers in Markham to help us with our backed up kitchen sink. We selected Mr. Rooter Plumbing because they informed us that the plumbing technician would come over to look at the problem, provide us with a quote to fix the problem and if we were not interested or not happy with the quote there was no charge for the initial visit and diagnosis. We were also informed that a plumbing technician would come over to our house between 2 and 5 pm in the afternoon. We received a call around 1 pm from Mr. Rooter Plumbing saying he would be over by 2 pm and promptly at 2:00 pm Robert Cassels from Mr. Rooter Plumbing in Newmarket showed up and knocked on our door. Robert looked at our sink, went through some of his tests to diagnose the problem and gave us a quote. We reviewed the quote with Robert. The price quoted was very reasonable and we asked Robert to go ahead with the work. This was our first experience with Mr. Rooter and I must say that Robert Cassels did an outstanding job. He did an excellent job explaining the various steps he took to fix the problem, and recommending things we should do so that we don’t run into the problem again. While Robert was fixing the backed up kitchen sink, we asked him if he could give us a quote to fix the shower faucet in our upstairs bathroom. We liked the quote to fix the shower faucet which Robert fixed quickly and efficiently leaving us with a new fully functional shower faucet. Just when we thought Robert was done, he asked us if we would like a no charge plumbing checkup of the rest of our bathrooms and sinks. Again, Robert did an excellent job with the plumbing checkup giving us a list of potential issues and recommendations to fix the issues. All in all, our experience with Robert Cassels from Mr. Rooter was excellent and we would definitely recommend Mr. Rooter Plumbing.

I had just installed some new doors and needed to get them painted. I got 4 quotes for the small job and Five Star Painting, the middle quote, impressed me the most. Mike Otani was very thorough with the quote and paint selections as well as the entire job from start to finish. Raul did an excellent job with the painting and we were very satisfied with the job. We would definitely recommend Five Star Paining.

Replacing windows and doors in your house is a major project for most homeowners. After 22 years of living with the original windows and doors in our house it was time for us to replace our windows and doors. My wife and I were extremely nervous and hesitant with this project both from a product quality and most importantly the product installation perspective. We evaluated 6 quotes from 6 different vendors and decided to go with Casa Bella. Casa Bella was the middle quote and we were not disappointed. The Casa Bella experience was outstanding from beginning to end. The Sales process started with Jay Biller who clearly outlined the products and various options. The windows and doors that we selected were beautiful. Then came the critical part – the Installation. The Casa Bella Installation crew of 3 individuals German Rojas, Manny Martin and Allan were simply outstanding – we called them the “Dream Team”. It was a complete end-to-end job with a lot of attention to detail and workmanship. We highly recommend Casa Bella.

If you are looking for exceptional customer service, great pricing and skilled workmanship, I highly recommend Paul Falco - Falco Construction & Landscaping. The interlock on our front driveway, brick wall and backyard had to be redone. We also had an old arbor in the backyard that needed to be removed. We had sought 3 quotes from different companies and Paul's pricing fell directly in the middle of our other options. It was Paul's honest, trustworthy demeanour and professionalism that sold us, and we were definitely not disappointed come project completion. Throughout the entire job he provided quality workmanship by way of a superbly-trained group of workers. Paul’s crew was skilled, hardworking and dedicated from start to finish. In addition, Paul was frequently on-site himself to review the work done and make recommendations/suggestions as needed. He did a great job and we have absolutely no regrets on our end. We would definitely recommend Paul and his services to anyone asking.
