Reem from North York

I called many moving companies before choosing Viking Moving to do the job. They supposedly had a flat rate of $40/hour for two guys, and a truck. I booked them for 3 hours, totaling $120 plus tax. When I was booking, I kept on confirming what we were getting charged, and that there were no hidden fees. They ended up charging for gas, an extra fee for stairs (we were in a basement), and some other bogus fee. Of course, they make you sign some lame contract BEFORE they move anything, and then tell you the cost AFTER theyre done unloading everything. We ended up getting charged OVER $300. I only had $250 on me, and was not budging to go to the bank to withdraw extra cash... so they had to settle for the $250. DON'T GO WITH THIS COMPANY! THEY'RE DISHONEST! The only good thing is that they loaded and unloaded quickly. They did however, lose screws to our surround speakers, and break my jewelry box.

I booked perfect painter because they had a special going on, half price for a painter for the day. I originally booked two painters, but only one showed up. I was a little confused, but he said he could do the job in two days, and not be charged extra. Martin was my painter, he did an amazing job! Was fast, clean, respectful of my belongings, and went above and beyond with the painting. The walls were in horrible condition before Martin got there, and he plastered, sanded, primed and painted. His work is very clean, and what ever mess he did, he cleaned up after himself. Once the job was complete, I received a call from Perfect Painter, asking about my experience, and if everything went as planned. Overall, minus that little mix-up in the beginning with the second painter (which I mentioned to Perfect Painter- they dealt with the MIA painter), I was very happy with the end result. We're moving soon, and are using Perfect Painter once again. If you go with this company, I strongly suggest you ask for Martin.
