Caring, conscientious service that is done well

The first thing that struck me when I began working with Fairney &Sons was that Bill Fairney genuinely cared about helping with the problems in my house. My basement flooded early in the year and I had called a company that I had worked with before and left messages every day for 8 days about the flooding in my basement but no one called me back. I then called Fairney & Sons because I received their flyer in my mailbox and Bill called me right back. He had someone come over the next day, who immediately drained my basement, which was an enormous relief.
He also called me back later to make sure my basement wasnt flooding again.
A few weeks later my ceiling started to leak, and based on the great service I had received, I called Bill again. His workers showed up on time, fixed the roof and cleaned up all of the mess outside because I had mentioned the importance of maintaining a good relationship with my neighbours with whom I share a path above which the roof repairs were being done.
Without me asking, Bill sent me photos of the roof before it was fixed and after, so that I could verify what had been done. The costs were exactly as stated on the invoices he provided me in advance and there were no surprises.
I will be underpinning my basement and have already started working with Bill and his team to get that done.
I dont work with people who provide less than exemplary work. I have had contractors who didnt show up when they said they would, didnt do the work that they said they would, have had to be called multiple times to return to complete work they left unfinished and did not provide correct information about timelines for completing their work, all of which can be incredibly stressful. When I deal with Bill, it is always easy, straightforward and stress-free.
I highly recommend Fairney & Sons.

Great roofing Job

Needed a new roof and eavestrough for a leaky garage so I called Fairney for a quote. Bill got back to me quickly with a reasonable quote and I decided to go ahead with the project. His team came quickly and efficiently and did a great job with no mess.
Honest contractors like Fairney are a rare breed these days and I will definitely be calling him first for any future jobs that come up.

Waterproofing AND MORE

We got Bill and his team to waterproof around our house and put in a couple of window wells. That led to a full backyard reno that gave us beautiful interlock and wood decks that we can't wait to use next year. While they were here, they even helped me to get rid of a large inoperative wine fridge that we inherited when we bought the house and retrofit another couple of cabinets into the kitchen. Bill Fairney and his team are friendly, extremely knowledgeable, very communicative, highly responsive, and do excellent work. They gave me options, had great problem-solving ideas, and consulted me regularly to make sure everything was the way I wanted it. They treated my property with respect and always cleaned up after they were done for the day. I've come to trust Bill and Peter and have already recommended them to friends.

Exterior Masonry and Window Sill Repairs

My wife and I were new homebuyers that needed some masonry repairs to our backyard's first floor and main floor windows. Fairney and Sons came recommended from friends of our and we could not have asked for a better experience.

Bill did two site investigations: The first to get a sense of the scope of the work would be and a second to do a deeper investigation of the extent of repairs required. The whole time Bill was upfront about costs from best case to absolute worst case scenario.

Bill and his Team (Mike) were very friendly, punctual and extremely professional. Every stage of the project was well documented and an action plan was relayed to me before, during, and after the job was complete. The job site was cleaned at the end of each day and all materials were covered to project them from the elements over night.

The final result was a beautifully installed new single stone window sill under the first floor window and a new window well with a total project time of 1.5 days.

Exterior Waterproofing and roofing project

Bill and his team did external waterproofing as well as replaced the roof on our kitchen addition. It was a pleasure to work with Bill and his team. Bill always made himself available for questions and thoroughly walked us through each step. He made thoughtful recommendations and kept us appraised of the progress. The team was punctual and professional, and even finished ahead of schedule. We would recommend Fairney & Sons without hesitation.

Retaining wall & interlocking paver walks & patio & fence & gate built

We recently had an outdoor project completed by Fairney & Sons and could not be happier with the results. The pricing was fair - we got good value for our money - and Bill was a pleasure to deal with. Throughout the project he was driving by, almost daily, to monitor progress and address any concerns we might have. He always made us feel like valued customers and made himself available - this is a man who answers his phone and attends to you promptly! He beautifully co-ordinated all of his team so that the job was completed as quickly and efficiently as possible with minimal disruption. Our stone-masons (Gus & Ugur) built us a retaining wall, backsteps, interlocking paver walkways (front & back), backyard patio & BBQ pad and the job was absolutely beautiful! These men are true craftsmen and real perfectionists - lucky, lucky us!!! They showed up punctually each morning and put in a hard, full day of work and did an outstanding job!! We could not be more pleased! The fence team (Peter, Steve, Trudy & Tyler) came in immediately after and built us a fence, gate and installed aluminum railings - they did a great job! The neighbours were so impressed, one has already hired them for a fence & gate build, and another will be calling them for an upcoming interlocking paver project. We will certainly be calling Fairney & Sons for any future renos.
Happy, Happy Customers

Remove and replace old front and side walkways

I contacted Fairney and Sons Ltd because I liked the recent work they had completed in my neighbourhood.
The staff and owner are very friendly and knowledgeable.
They were careful not to disturb the garden or the neighbours property.
I am happy with my two new walkways. They did a great job.

Roof & Troughs

I called Bill to get an estimate on replacing my roof and eaves troughs. Bill replied quickly, came to my house the same day and provided me with a fair estimate for both jobs. The work was completed when he said it would be completed and his crews did great and efficient work. Thanks Bill!

Exterior waterproofing

To have Fairney and Sons do this job was total satisfaction. The owner came out right away and gave me a quote and start date on the day I called. The price was worth the awesome work done by this team and still feel I got a great price . I knew their signage in the area and in our neighbourhood beach paper where if its been written there for years then the search is almost over. A do it yourselfer , Im hard to please and know excellent work and pricing when I see it. Always on time,cheerful,knowledgeable and available for questions was very assuring. My homes waterproofing was way overdue and small problems discovered were dealt with immediately . I will contact Fairney and Sons before any project and they made me feel welcome to do so.
