John in Riverdale

I hired Rob and his team at J&R Aluminum to supply and install rigid insulation, siding, window flashing and new eaves on my newly purchased, in much need of repair, semi-detached home in the Riverdale neighbourhood in Toronto. Rob and his team were initially quite responsive. The work was done in three days. I had the opportunity to be home during those three days, so I paid attention to the work that was being done. I caught a number of minor errors during the three days, which was corrected immediately. I didn't notice until afew days later (when it rained) was they installed an eavestrough incorrectly, such that the water flowed away from the side with the downspout and instead pooled on the other side of the eaves (eventually leaking through the seams and dripping like crazy). Rob quickly came back to repair this. After I paid the fees in-full, I encountered another minor error that was a major pain. It turns out they accidentally put rigid insulation and siding over my clothes dryer vent - effectivly sealing in the vent. I ended up having to fix this myself (which was disapointing). I promised I would update this post if anything developed. Rob followed up with me afew weeks ago to apologize for the problem. I was impressed that he followed-up (in my experience, most contractors would stick their heads in the sand). Rob's an honest guy, he did good work for value. I think my experience was unusual in this respect.

We bought an old home in Riverdale and needed a building permit before completing the major remodelling we planned prior to our move-in date. We had 2 months to get the work done, but little could happen before we got our building permit. I was anxious to say the least. This is where Alex at CADAXX stepped in. He did his measurements on the very first business day after I called him, and he completed his diagrams in just over a week. He filed the building permit application for us using the City of Toronto fastrack process, and all said and done we got our building permit in just under two weeks. The prompt professional service in itself is remarkable. But what makes CADAXX exceptional is the incredible value Alex provides vis-a-vis some of his competitors which often quote 3 or 4 times the same amount for similar services. In my experience, Alex provides exceptional, prompt and professional value for money for anyone looking to obtain a building permit in the GTA in relatively short order.
