we visited our painters home to see the quality of her work, while there she showed us Miranda Tile (Nelson's) tiling in several areas of her home. Nelson was professional and skilled, he did an excellent job from start to finish. He exceeded our expectations (which were high having seen his prior work). Would highly recommend Miranda Tile

I got 5 quotes before I decided on Iconic. This was a complete removal of driveway (3 cars long) and install new asphalt driveway (3 cars wide) with pavers on both sides. The job was done well, the asphalt was thick and sloped away from the home. My advise to folks getting a new driveway is mark (stake) the boundaries of the driveway (top, side, bottom) and ensure square to the house. You will be the ultimate project manager so do your homework. Their crew is excellent and quick. I did have a problem with the pavers, some of the Polymeric sand came away during the winter of 2023 - Iconic sent someone to fix after a few months (they were true to their word). 2 of my neighbours had Iconic do their driveways and they were pleased + I drove to 2 completed jobs to see what they looked like. As I said, do your homework then less chance for surprise

We didn't think we had the budget for a designer but we kept second guessing ourselves on so many details. We chose Andrea from Fine Finishes for a 2 hour consultation. To make this cost effective we had a spreadsheet of questions for Andrea. She looked at our overall concept and made some initial suggestions based on that. As we went through our checklist we got more specific I.e. paint colours, flooring, trim choices, tile. We had never considered headers for our windows and doors but it looks fantastic . Bottom line, Andrea gave us the direction and confidence to proceed- we are not done but know the end result will be outstanding thanks to her collaborative approach and deep knowledge of design. We'll use her services as we move to our next project.

Our old mid-efficiency Carrier furnace was issued a red tag warning on Nov 23 2022 (with 2 weeks to replace). We quickly reached out to 3 homestar HVAC companies for quotes + 2 other companies. Hargrave Heating and Air Conditioning won the bid. From their final quote to post installation concerns we encountered the owner of Hargrave responded quickly to our questions and addressed our concerns. This installation included a Carrier Hybrid Heat Pump (Heat Pump with High Efficiency gas furnace) which was eligible for a Canada Greener Home Grant (rebate) up to 5K. The furnace and HP were installed within the mandated 2 weeks) The time from quote to rebate cheque issuance took less than 2 months. We received the full rebate for the HP Hybrid and the 2 audits. We had one issue with the humidifier drain going into the condensate pump - this caused the pump to drain every 5 minutes which was quite noisy. They sent a service tech out within 48hrs, moved the humidifier drain to a separate line : problem solved! The technicians, service people, office mgr and owner were attentive and professional from start to finish. The owner knew exactly how to get this done quickly with the least amount of impact and administration particularly the rebate portion. We were provided references as well (these people were helpful) The auditor that HARGRAVE uses was very good and coached us through the rebate process.
