I have had problems with a clogged kitchen sink and leaks under the sink off and on for a period of 10 years. The plumbers at Knight Plumbing came out recently and replaced and repaired everything under the sink that needed looking after. Now I am worry free. I will use Knight Plumbing in the future as they are professional and trustworthy.

Over the past six months, I have had three different electricians from three different companies in my house to replace lighting fixtures, put in modern light switches with dimmers etc. The first company wanted to replace my electrical panel at a cost of $6,000. The second company sent an electrician who did not have the right dimmer switch replacements and he had to go to the hardware store for supplies which was time consuming. The third electrician, Shawn at Negin Electric, came in, did the work neatly and accurately and had all the supplies on hand that he needed. He was professional and charged less than the other two companies. In the future I will use Shawn at Negin Electric as he did not try to up-sell me, did not charge exorbitant fees, and did an excellent job.

I had a new washing machine installed, but the taps behind the machine started to leak water and needed replacing. The taps were over 20 years old and worn out. I called Knight Plumbing and they sent out a technician the next day at 8:00 a.m. Tyler replaced the taps and was efficient and courteous. He did an excellent job. I highly recommend this company to anyone needing this type of work.

I called Valley View Appliances to come out & repair my dishwasher which had a leak. The repairman came and was courteous and respectful. He said a part inside the dishwasher had a crack in it. Due to the age of the dishwasher, parts were no longer available. Since he did not repair the dishwasher and only advised that it could not be repaired, I was charged just over $162. I think this charge was a little excessive. I will not be using them again.

The FCI Design Associate did an excellent job helping us decide on what type of hardwood flooring we should have, based on the warmth of our wood furniture, colour of kitchen cupboards etc. As a result, the hardwood that we picked out for installation makes our house look beautiful. There was a glitch insofar as the installation was to take one day, but it ended up taking two days as we had a sub-floor of glued down particle board in one section which needed to be removed first. We also had one minor issue with the flooring after installation which was fixed right away. We are quite pleased with the flooring which was installed in our living room, dining room and down three stairs leading to the front foyer. The flooring installers did an excellent job and worked very hard. The only complaint we have is that the Operations Manager never returned our house key to us, but that's very minor. We wish we had installed hardwood years ago as it makes such a difference to the look of the house. Overall we are very pleased with the work.

Peter of Fun & Function Renovations was the sixth contractor that was interviewed to renovate our main bathroom on the second floor and the half bath on the main floor. There was water damage coming from the main bathroom where water had leaked down below and had damaged the ceiling in the living room and hallway area. There was a bubble in one section of the ceiling and a long crack in another section. Not only did we have to get the bathrooms renovated, but we had to get the damaged ceiling fixed also. Once we met with Peter of Fun and Function, we knew he was the contractor for us. He gave us great ideas right from the start and was very competent and capable of doing the job. He said he would start on a certain date and gave us a timeline for the project. He kept his word. He renovated the two bathrooms and repaired the ceiling within a two week period, just like he said he would. Every other contractor wanted four weeks to do the same work. The difference between Fun & Function and other contractors is that Peter is there every day, working on the project, and doing what he has to do. He does not race between one renovation project and another renovation project and does not divert his time and attention between a variety of clients. If he has a project to work on at your house, that is where you will find him until it is completed. We discovered that the folks at Fun and Function are honest, ethical, and dependable individuals who have great expertise in renovating bathrooms. They take great pride in their work and they want their clients to be happy! They work hard, do an excellent job and even clean up after themselves at the end of the day. We found that Peter takes great care in finding the right solutions to homeowner problems. He addressed and solved all of the problems we had. We were so happy with the end result. We would not hesitate in recommending Fun and Function Renovations to anyone looking for an experienced contractor who does excellent work. We feel very lucky to have found such an outstanding company. Adrienne & Peter
