We bought a 3 unit house that looked OK, but we knew it needed a lot of work and we had a tight deadline - the previous owners had used it as an investment property and had only done the bare minimum of maintenance. We hired Gino as he was one of the few contractors who returned our call and actually came to the house to assess the workload (he was also one of the few who didn't tell us it wasn't worth it). I think he thought we were insane for the amount of work that had to be done and the tight time frame we had (approx 2 1/2 mths), but he was nice enough not to say it right away! In just under 3 months (there was a 3 week delay due to Home Depot messing up our flooring order) - Gino and his team gutted the 2 apartments and turned them from Blah into Wow. Everything was ripped back to the studs - and we started from scratch - from small rooms to very open concept - new wiring, new floors (evened out and installed vinyl), 2 new bathrooms, new doors, a few new windows, and 1 kitchen completed, and 1 roughed in (we couldn't totally decide what we wanted there). He accommodated all our changes and kept his sense of humour most of the time (don't ask him about rangehoods - it took 5 different attempts, with 5 different hoods to get one that had a motor, fit the space, and worked). :-) And even though we totally blew past our originally budget - we enjoyed working with him immensely and hope to have the next budget together soon to call him back in to finish the exterior work that needs to be done!

I found this cleaning company on Homestars - liked all the reviews and hired them for my newly renovated home. Service was great and very accomodating - especially since they have had to clean while reno work is happening - and the place always looks great. The checklist was really helpful, and the cleaning crew Melissa sent over was courteous and friendly. I highly recommend them!
