I had been noticing a few ants here and there but couldn't figure out where exactly they were coming from. A friend had recommended Advantage Pest Control to me after having a similar carpenter ant problem. I called them, they came and treated the entire house the next day. I found lots of dead ants over the next few weeks and never saw another live one. The service is guaranteed for a year, but it's been a few months now and no sign of resurgence.

Scott had helped me get rid of a raccoon family in my soffit last summer, but since I had my eavestrough replaced recently the work Scott had done was disrupted. The raccoon family returned to the same place. Scott returned to deal with the problem, evicted the raccoons, sealed up the spot again. Although his work had been altered in other renovations so his warranty wasn't valid, he still did the work at a reduced price. Pleasant to work with and would definitely recommend again.

Sam and his partner replaced my old furnace with one day's notice on a holiday weekend for the best price I could find. They came on time, were friendly, and did a great job. Would definitely call them again. My only minor complaint might be that it was a mucky spring day and they made many trips in and out without removing boots, so I had some serious floor cleaning to do.

I hired Yuri and his team to replace the eavestroughs, soffit, and fascia on two sides of my house; to replace a small section of vinyl siding; and to add a wood fence to one side of my back yard. Yuri and his team were friendly and easy to work with. I'm quite happy with the eavestrough, soffit, fascia, and siding component of the project, and somewhat satisfied with the fence. The configuration of my house and yard made it a bit difficult to find good drainage options, but Yuri helped me find a suitable arrangement. The part that I was a bit dissatisfied with is that when I asked him about adding the fence, he agreed, but then ended up subcontracting a different company to do it. He was not clear with me that his company would not be doing the project. The fence is ok - it's not the best, not the worst, but I didn't have any say in selecting the fencing company because Yuri sent what appeared to be his friend's company. Yuri did come to check in on the fence a few days after the project was done and when I relayed some of my concerns he said he'd follow up on them, but never did. Overall, the experience was satisfactory but not stellar.

Brian and his team were friendly and easy to work with. They arrived and completed the work as scheduled. I had a bit of a fence-related issue with my next door neighbour that they tactfully navigated. The fence looks great. I do wish they had consulted me on the style of gate they chose to install - I assumed a plain gate would go in, but instead a gate with a decorative window in the middle was installed and does not allow for total privacy from my neighbours (which was the reason for installing the fence). This company was sub-contracted to me by another exterior renovation company that I had hired to do a different project (AIMG Reno Inc.). I wish both parties had been more clear with me that a different company was coming to do the fence.

The condensation from my furnace was draining into a corroded pipe and consequently leaking into the mechanical parts of the furnace. Bill came the next day as scheduled, found an innovative solution to an unusual problem on an old furnace, and made the drainage system much better than it had been even before the pipe broke. A very positive experience.

Eric did a large re-wiring project for me in an old house after being recommended to me by my realtor. Even in comparison to contractor standards, he was difficult to reach and arrange meetings with, although he was friendly and easy to talk to. All of my wiring is working and the main components of the job were completed successfully, but he left several finishing touches incomplete (for example, he said he'd provide cover plates but did not, agreed to provide a schematic of the work that he did but did not, etc.)

James was punctual, easy to communicate with, and did the job on time and as discussed. He did a basic re-shingling job and a small amount of roof repair. Quote was mid-range.

Jesuan and his partners made three pieces of custom stainless steel counter top for me. One side included a sink, which I purchased separately and he welded to the counter top seamlessly (everyone who sees this feature is very impressed!). The other side included corner that wasn't finished very nicely. The process of him coming to my home to take measurements and deliver/install the finished product was smooth, although every time he was either very early or very late. He kept roughly to the timelines he proposed. He was always responsive by email. His website does contain stock images that are made to appear as his own work, which might be dissuasive to new customers. Aside from my one imperfect corner, I'm quite satisfied with my counters and would probably call Jesuan again if I had additional custom stainless steel needs.

Denton and his partner installed a new range hood with new venting to the outside of my home. They provided this service the day after I called them (and on a Saturday) and for a reasonable price. Initially found their ad on Kijiji after having a lot of difficulty finding someone to do this job. The old range hood had been in a different location, so they were starting from scratch. They arrived close to on-time, were courteous and professional, were respectful of my recently renovated kitchen floors and counter tops, and got the job done. The range hood works very nicely and looks great on the wall. The only draw backs might be that they got the price confused (someone quoted me a certain price on the phone, the installer charged me much less, and then called me later that evening to say he had made an error and needed me to pay the balance), and that the installation took 4 hours instead of the 2 that they quoted me on the phone, so I had to re-schedule another appointment for that afternoon. Overall pleased with this service and would recommend them and/or call them again if needed.

Scott and Spencer provided friendly and personable same-day raccoon removal service for a family of raccoons living in my soffit. They were running behind schedule and phoned me about 30 minutes in advance of the agreed upon time to let me know they'd be late and when they'd arrive (rare in the world of contractors!). I wasn't even sure exactly where they were living - I though it might be the attic or the wall - but they did a thorough investigation and located the family. They installed a one way door with an extra little gap for the babies in case they couldn't use the door. The family is gone!

Henry was professional, punctual, easy to communicate with, and very friendly. His price was better than most other quotes I got and I was still very happy with the quality of service and product being offered at that price. My new windows look great. There are a few very minor details that I could be happier with (e.g., I thought the caulking could have been a bit tidier), but overall I'm very pleased. I plan to call Henry to replace more windows in the future and wouldn't hesitate to recommend him.
