After a year and a half (and about the same to go!) of DIY home repair, we just couldn't face installing another room's worth of engineered maple hardwood that we had previously purchased (and relied on helpful family members to install one room at a time). Despite some previous bad experiences with either flooring people or ridiculous flooring quotes for the same job, we happened upon Stewart on Home Stars and were impressed by his rating and reviews. He did not disappoint! Stewart was able to fit our job in soon after we contacted him, quoted a very fair price, arrived on time, and completed the work in a clean, conscientious and careful manner. After the first few hours of seeing him work his magic, we let out a sigh of relief that we finally found someone who could do a great job for a great price. When you are trying to fix up a house on a tight budget, it's a splurge to hire someone when you weren't necessarily planning to, but it was more than worth it, especially in terms of saving our sanity! We are definitely having Stewart back to finish our hallway flooring and probably some tiling as well. What a find!

My Sears brand fridge and freezer broke down - I called Sears thinking my 10 years parts warranty was still in effect (which it was) and that it would be more cost effective to use Sears should the fridge require parts - a day and a half later, despite their assurance of immediate service the next day, Sears was still a no-show and seemingly only able to explain in corporate double speak when or if they would ever come for my "emergency" service call. In desperation as my entire freezer and fridge full of food rotted, I searched on Home Stars and located Richard, who came to my rescue. He came when he said he would, had the parts on hand based on my description of certain fridge noises, and fixed my fridge in under 10 minutes. He is a gem and I would not hesitate to use him again for any service he provides. P.S. I wouldn't use Sears repair service if I were you - on the third day after calling, I was finally called by a dispatcher who said they "might" be able to come that day.

I cannot recommend the ReStores (all three branches) enough for finding great deals. I was looking for lighting fixtures - had purchased some at Ikea but once I put one up, I realized how 'cheap' they truly are - and lo and behold, I stumbled upon two Starck lighting fixtures from italy for a mere $50. If I were to buy these fixtures new, I would have paid up to $1000 a piece - yes it's true - I saw the exact same thing online. Only a tiny bit of damage on one fixture, and some missing screws on another, both issues easily hidden or fixed, made these one of the best deals I have ever found (and I love a good deal). You should go there.

GTM Electric is one of those rare contractors/trades (in my opinion) that gives you a quote and sticks by it, what they say it will cost is what it will cost. Their work is timely and competent - they are very approachable and not condescending at all. I had to update the wiring in the living room of my hundred year old house - uncovering some very funky diy not to code wiring, they gave me a quote and stuck by it, redoing what was necessary and bringing it all safely up to code. Dependable and honest, a rare thing it seems in the world of contractors and tradespeople. I have used them on a few small wiring projects in the house and will continue to do so for anything electrical that comes up. Highly recommended.
