Heather from Toronto

In addition to needing our 25 year old eavestrough, soffits, fascia, & downspouts replaced, we also had a section over our front porch that had been protected by an enclosure for more than 30 years that needed protection. The soft wood was now exposed to the elements and gaps in the fascia and trim were an invitation to wasps and other undesired creatures. We also had a wood shed in the back yard that needed attention. We received quotes from 3 other companies and choose Century Aluminum for a number of reasons and are happy we did. As requested, we received 2 separate quotes; one for the house and one for the shed. Their quotes were competitive and extremely detailed. They were the only company to advise that they may not be able to panel the back of the shed due to the 9.5" space between it and the fence. This was a legitimate point, a concern we had, and we appreciated their honesty. They were also the only company to provide a copy of their Certificate of Insurance up front with their quote. Gary was professional and attentive to all questions, concerns, and needs. We did have some unique challenges and he listened to our concerns and provided suggestions and together, we believe we made the best decisions for our home. Two days before Gary dropped off the colour samples, we had a huge downpour and the water had started to compromise the house at the back door. Without hesitation, Gary volunteered to climb up to the eavestrough and provided us with a temporary fix. The work began exactly within the timelines that we were quoted with. During the job, Gary & his team were punctual, professional, and skilled. The jobs took place within the timelines of the quote, and everything was done to the letter of the contract. As for the shed, not only were they able to panel the back, but they also squared the door for us so that now, it actually shuts properly. Thank you Century Aluminum, we could not have asked for better.

This review is long overdue. Living in Toronto all my life, I have a used Homestars on numerous occasions to find contractors for various projects, and always with great success. Two years ago, I had to sell my Father's house in a very short timeline. The 2 story, 1700 sq foot house which was located in Peterborough, needed some sprucing up at 22 years, but I was not familiar with contractors in the Peterborough area. I was thrilled to find Advantage House Painters Inc. on Homestars, with a good rating, and advertising work in the Peterborough area. I made an appointment with Chris, and we went through the house together, discussing the wallpaper, heavy furniture, nail holes, and timelines. He provided me with a detailed written estimate in two parts; one price if I removed the wallpaper myself of the price if they removed the wallpaper. (I removed the wallpaper). Chris was able to commit to the timelines I had, and was even able to make a couple of small ammendments to the contract that we had touched upon during our inital meeting in the winter. Chris, Derek, & Jason also provided some great insight to colour selection which received positive feedback from various Real Estate Agents. Overall I was very pleased with Chris, Derek & Jason, the workmanship, attention to detail, customer service, and price. I told Chris that my own house will need painting soon and that I will be calling on his services again.
