10/10

Perfect 10 out of 10. Found this company highly recommended through redflagdeals and was very, VERY happy with not only the service and product, but with the quote, quality and demonstration. Vs. 5 other shutter companies who charged up to 50% more for the exact same product. These guys know what they're doing. Very hard working, honest, and great quality wood shutters. Came to my place in Stouffville, corner lot, and not only were they the cheapest, their work is better than anything I've seen, especially from a lot of other shutter places.

Don is the type of home inspector you want, no you NEED to have with you to do your home inspection, especially if you're a first time home buyer like we were. We came across Don through Homestars and seeing that he was featured and recommended highly, and the fact that he spent nearly 30 minutes on the phone with me talking about our first home purchase and the issues that may arise, was something that I really, really did appreciate. He went through everything and allowed me to make my decision on choosing the right home inspector. On the day of the inspection, he showed up early, and was ready to go on everything, despite the cold weather and tremendous amounts of snow on the ground. Remember how I said Don is the guy you need? The reasons for that are that he is: a) to the point b) tells you everything without any filter and c) very clear and concise with the issues. He did a much better job than the builder appointed home inspector (ya, no surprise there since SHE worked for the builder and as a duty to protect their interests and not ours). Now, nothing major was found, but there were enough minor infractions that the builder-home inspector did not notice that made Don worth hiring in the first place. He highlighted things that normally get fixed in the 30 day warranty period that were fixed immediately, simply because he pointed them out. He even got the inspector from the builder mad, for simply doing his job which is to be thorough. At the end of everything, Don provided us a CD with over 200 pictures, detailed report, and then later mailed us a digital and typed copy of everything for easy entry into the tarion website. I would absolutely recommend Don, and will be using him again, he even assured me that if I were to move anywhere in the GTA that he'd be available to do our inspection. Don is also a Leafs fan, and is great to talk to overall.

Was searching for a central vacuum for my house in Stouffville. I contacted all of the local vacuum dealers, including those in close-by Markham and none were able to provide a great quote or installation price that was under $1000 for a decent vacuum. I looked at all of the brands, Beam, Hoover, etc. and it wasn't until I visited the Canavac website (great youtube video on the difference between central vacs) that I found Connextions. Connextions is a company that does Central Vac rough-ins, installs, per-wiring, home alarms, etc. They're actually the biggest Canavac dealer in Mississauga which is great, and they came all the way to Stouffville to do my installation. They let me know that Canavac, and it's facility in the Stratford area, actually manufacture the motors for a lot of the big central vac providers, including beam. They were able to get me a great deal on a Tangential By-Pass motor vacuum with a ton of Airwatts, great suction and terrific warranty for a great price, lower than any of the other Canavac dealers in the area. What I was really impressed with was their actual service. The owner of the company came out himself and was able to install the central vac to the roughed-in set-up in my home, and the piping was really something to see. All the pipes were dry-fitted with the least possible amount of bends, and runs, yet still looking very neat. This was to maximize the amount of suction coming through the piping. Connextions was very friendly, clean, and professional overall and I would not hesitate to do business with them again.
