Marna from mid-town Toronto

We had what turned out to be a simple leak in a very hard to access pipe in our kitchen wall. Aviv was recommended by a friend. They sent out Raphie, the plumber who called to apologize that he'd be a bit late due to traffic problems, which I really appreciated. Raphie diagnosed the problem (quickly and correctly), alerted us that it would create quite a mess to repair and that we would likely need a contractor to patch it up when he was done. He took apart our kitchen desk counter and gable in order to access the leak. Just a small hole was made in the drywall and in a short while the problem was repaired inside the wall. Raphie was super professional and most concerned about the damage he'd have to do, giving us lots of warnings in case we wanted in not to proceed. He seemed very competent and most of all knew what he could and could not do himself. When the leaky pipe was repaired he asked us if we wanted him to replace the desk counter and gable, which he did. He also discovered another problem which he fixed. He left the place immaculate with just the small hole in the drywall that he warned us about. While I did think the hourly charge was a bit high (he was there just under 3 hours) I may be out of the loop as I haven't needed to hire a plumber for some time. I was so relieved to have it all done, it was well worth it. This is one fine young plumber who won't dissappoint. I would not hesitate to recomment Aviv and in particular, Raphie, to others.

I recently had the need to remove old furniture, building supplies and odds and ends from my late mother’s condo and storage room. Choosing to deal with a locally-owned business, rather than a chain, I found Junk It by seeing their truck on the road. I followed up with a visit to their website and then a phone call. The owner, Jamie, provided me with a ballpark quote over the phone and was able to answer all of my questions. The quote was more than competitive with others I had called, so I booked them. The two young men and truck arrived exactly on time, phoning in advance to confirm. They were very pleasant, professional and extremely efficient with a ‘can do’ attitude. Their take charge manner immediately eliminated any concerns I may have had. Their final price was well within the telephone estimate. I would highly recommend them and would not hesitate to hire them again.
