The back of our yard was slowing sliding the neighbours yard. Pavel and his team excavated the bank, installed a retaining wall to hold the bank and then rebuilt the fence. They also leveled and re-sod our lawn. The job was done quickly and cleanly. Our yard has never looked so good and our neighbours are just as happy. Thanks Pavel!

We had a p-trap in the drain under our lawn that kept getting clogged and causing sewage to back up in the basement. Igor and his crew excavated to replace the p-trap and the damaged parts of the drain pipe. They also installed a back-flow valve to help prevent further backups into the house. Igor and his crew were punctual, courteous and professional. They took the time to explain the job to me and to show me what they were doing at each stage of the work. By the time the hole was filled in our front lawn you could hardly tell that we had a crew of guys working all day in a large hole in the ground. They even managed to spare most of the plants in our garden. On top of the terrific job, Igor told us about a program run by the city where we could apply to get a rebate for almost half of the cost of the job and left us a very thoughtful gift as a thank you. I would definitely recommend Aqualux and Igor to anyone having issues with their plumbing. I was impressed with both the work and with the people that I had the pleasure of meeting at Aqualux.

We engaged Pavel and Novacon to add a ground floor addition, larger second story addition as well as a complete demolition and renovation of the second story. We talked to many different contractors before deciding on Pavel but were immediately attracted to his management approach and easy going attitude. Pavel provided us with a detailed proposal and payment schedule that outlined every aspect of the job, it's timing and it's cost. Any changes to the proposal were managed through formal change requests so that at all times we knew the status of the work, it's cost and schedule. Through the course of a 7 month renovation there was rarely a day when we weren't in touch with Pavel and at no time were we left wondering what was happening with our home. Any time we encountered unforeseen issues Pavel notified us right away, explained the issue and presented us with options. If we asked for recommendations, Pavel would tell us his opinion but at no time did we feel pressured to do work we weren't comfortable with or to expand the scope of the job. Despite some serious delays at the beginning of our job (we got caught by several weeks of extreme and uncharacteristic rain fall) our renovation was only a month beyond schedule and was finished on budget. We're overjoyed with the quality of the work and have no regrets whatsoever about undertaking the renovation. We would happily recommend Pavel and Novacon to anyone considering work on their home.

Hi Drew

We had a few surprises with the weather and with your existing foundation requiring underpinning which slowed us down for a few weeks but it came together beautifully. Your family was a pleasure to work for and hope you have a great New Year in the "new house". All the best

We had the Duct Cleaning Specialists in to clean our ducts following an extensive renovation to our house. The team showed up on time, was done the job within 3 hours and was so clean that it was impossible to know that they had ever been at work in our house. We had other contractors working in the house that day and the team from Duct Cleaning Specialists was immediately cooperating with the existing contractors and finding ways that both teams could continue to work. On top of being on time, clean, professional and on budget the team from Duct Cleaning Specialists was also friendly, cheerful and easy to work with. They were a pleasure to work, I'll be using them again when I next need to clean my ducts and would happily recommend them to anyone looking to have their ducts cleaned.

Job foreman: Fitz Wilks We have an existing installation from Clarkes and so I've always had a good experience with Fitz in the past through their annual maintenance program. This time, we had put an extension on our house and needed an additional installation from Clarkes to support the new foundation. Fitz was amazing! He walked me through the job and everything that they were planning before he started. He detailed the various options as well as their pros and cons. The job was done quickly, quietly and cleanly and exactly to the estimate that I had been provided when Fitz first scoped out the job. Once done, Fitz walked me through what had been done and any maintenance considerations and made sure that I understood everything about my new installation. It was a dirty job that had to be done in a very confined space but through it all Fitz was smiling and joking. He's a pleasure to work with and a consummate professional!

Our job was that we had a dirt and gravel driveway that we needed to have excavated and paved. Drainage was a problem as well as the environment (narrow, shared lane drive). Several companies that we called turned us down without even coming to see our driveway. We went with Ludwig because they came in with the best quote and because they were flexible about the job. With some of the companies that we talked to we felt that we were being pressured into work that we didn't want. There was no pressure from Joe (our contact at Ludwig). Whatever we wanted, Joe found a way to make it happen. Throughout the entire job Joe was responsive, helpful and courteous. Joe and his team showed up exactly when they were supposed to and completed the job when they said they would. The job was done exactly to spec and with no surprises and no extra costs. They even helped us out with a couple of things that weren't included in the original quote! We can't say enough good things about our experience with Ludwig. We are constantly having people compliment us on the work that was done and we couldn't be happier.
