We hired Ted for the second time after he did such a great job with our front yard last year. The work included: removing and rebuilding the gate in the alley; removing the concrete slabs and replacing with a combination of interlock pavers and natural stones; removing the wood deck and replacing it with a smaller wood deck and an interlock patio; removing and replacing the north fence. This was a lot of work and it took a bit longer to finish than anticipated. But in the end, we were very satisfied with the work. Working with Ted and his crew (Hi Josh!) is always very pleasant. He is very responsive and can show some flexibility. I highly recommend him!

Ted Hobson and his crew of wonderful workers just completed the renovation of our front yard and we are elated! The contract included replacing the front porch (pressure-treated wood), re-building the garden wall, and replacing the stones in the walkway. Ted was very responsive when we asked for a quote, and he provided us with a very detailed plan of what we had in mind. He also made very good suggestions, including the use of India stones for the walkway instead of Interlock. Altogether, working with Ted was a pleasant experience and we had the feeling he was listening to us. We had to postpone the work for a few months, but when we were ready, Ted and his crew showed up on the morning they were supposed to be here. And the work finished right on time! We were amazed how nice everybody was on that team. Even our neighbour who is doing her front yard by herself kept saying how nice Ted's crew was and how they would give her tips during the day! I highly recommend Ted Hobson, especially if you want to renovate a small lot in the city. He will bring great ideas, a top notch crew, and you will be amazed with the results!

I called Valentin to fix a shower faucet leak. He showed up the next morning, took his time to explain what was the problem, and fixed it for a very reasonable price. I also hired him to install a new water service and update the main drain. Once again, his work was awesome. I highly recommend Valentin: he is trustworthy, meticulous, and a very talented plumber!
