My air conditioning unit was not keeping up with the July heat and now we saw some condensation around our furnace. At 5:30 pm on a Friday, I called QuickFast. I spoke directly to the owner who told me who could come and take a look in about an hour and a half. ON A FRIDAY NIGHT. David came on time, did a thorough assessment. He was friendly, personable and clearly understood what had to be done. He talked us through short- and long-term solutions. The next day was the hottest of the year, but our home was so cool that my wife made soup for dinner. Our only regret was that we didn't call QuickFast sooner. We called another firm six days before, but no one returned our call. A different firm told us they would contact their "service department" and call us back "shortly." QuickFast is a small firm, so we didn't have to wait for some service department... I'm sure there may be some nights when David is not able to make service calls, but today we are one grateful family with a sleeping baby who would have been miserable in the heat.

Gord's Basement Waterproofing is a small family business. I felt confident in their experience & expertise that my basement, which showed two very small cracks in the inside wall, needed only for those cracks to be filled with a caulk-like filler, not some major piece of renovation work. The work was done last fall, and I waited to see what would happen to post a review. Last week there was a record 100+ cm of rain in the GTA. My basement: dry as can be. Not even a hint of moisture appeared anywhere near those cracks. I am very, very satisfied.

We called Titans in the morning after reading reviews on Homestars. The night before we had heard some dripping near a bathroom vent. They came out to inspect our home shortly after lunch. We were impressed with them because when they inspected the entire roof they took several photos to let us know where they felt there were problems and inspected the whole roof and not just the area we had noticed a potential problem. Rather than just repairing the small hole and vent cover that was likely the source of the dripping sound we heard, they suggested we pay for a general "tune-up" they offer and recommend as a semi-annual service. The fee seemed reasonable, and included a minor gutter repair. The best part of the effort was that Shawn and Norm were able to complete the repairs that afternoon. So, when it rained the next day there was no dripping sounds!

We hire Kamal "Bob" Panesar to do work on our house every couple of months since we moved in. He has replaced fixtures, installed ceiling fans and range hoods, ran a water line to our new fridge, painted, fixed some plumbing, caulked our baths and more! He is very reliable, kind, friendly, efficient and most importantly- does a great job the very first time. He's knowledgeable and, as a result, we often send him to Home Depot to get what he/we need!
