Valentin (Strong Plumbing Inc.) is extremely knowledgeable and offered excellent advice and different options with regard to what needed to be done to solve my broken toilet issue. He worked quickly and efficiently to replace old toilet and install new one. He was also very meticulous cleaning up and left the bathroom spotless. I’m extremely pleased with his work, and price is very reasonable. I’ve used Strong Plumbing Inc. in the past to replace kitchen faucet and will definitely use again for future plumbing needs, and highly recommend. Mary East York

I just had my entire eavestrough system replaced on my East York bungalow: eavetroughs with leafguard & drip edge; downpipes; and soffits/fascia.. The eavestroughs were in bad shape and failing badly. Also there were no soffits/fascia on the house leaving the beams exposed. I called several roofing companies specializing in eavestrough systems and got a few estimates. I decided to hire Century Aluminum because they were quick to respond and their quote was very professional and reasonable. Dorian did the initial inspection and was very helpful explaining the entire process in detail so that even I could understand it. Gary and Dorian completed the job on time and on budget and I’m super happy with it. The system works extremely well and I no longer cringe when it rains. I now enjoy watching the rain cause I know my house is protected. Gary and Dorian strategically placed the downpipes so that they were far enough away from the foundation but also served a purpose by having them empty in the garden and grass. My neighbour also commented that the work looked “very professional” and that the “guys worked very hard” (he was home when the work was being done). I highly recommend Century Aluminum and feel that I’ve gotten more than my money’s worth for sure. Thank you very much Gary and Dorian! You do amazing work and I am very grateful. 10++ Mary, East York

I woke up on a Saturday morning to find mice droppings in my kitchen cupboards where I keep the garbage, and shredded paper and garbage strewn about. It looked like a family of mice had a late night party in my cupboard. I immediately called Pestend and they sent Fazee that afternoon to solve the problem. Fazee strategically set some traps in the right places around the house and outside, and the mice problem was solved within a few days. I highly recommend Pestend Pest Control Services.

I hired Grand Building & Contracting to waterproof my bungalow basement and replace/repair the floors that had been torn up due to installing new drains about 4 years ago. I was also having mold issues in one part of the basement due to water coming in from the foundation. Alex came over right away and provided a reasonable quote and timeline for the work that needed to be done including mold remediation, waterproofing basement from the outside, repairing sub-floors, new carpet installation, and new ceramics & laundry tub w/ cabinet in the laundry room. Alex is an experienced, knowledgeable and trustworthy contractor with a very professional and capable team. I’m extremely satisfied with the work and love my new, mold-free, water tight basement. I would definitely hire Alex and his team for future home renovation projects and highly recommend this company. Mary East York

The main drain under my kitchen sink was too high and caused major clogging every few months because of standing water and grease in the trap and connecting pipe which were a lot lower than the main drain. I had lived with this mess and smell since I bought the house 5 years ago and actually dreaded going to the kitchen to use the sink. Every time I’d called a plumber in the past they would just clean out the clog but no one wanted to tackle the job and solve the problem until I found Valentin in Homestars. Valentin knew exactly what the issue was and how to fix it permanently. He came over the next morning and within a few hours had reconfigured all the pipes so that the main drain was lower than the connecting pipe and perfectly attached to the trap. The plumbing now works the way it’s supposed to and no more clogs and disgusting odour. He also cleaned up and left the place exactly as it was before the job. Valentin is a highly skilled Plumber who saved me a lot of grief and made my life so much easier and stress-free at a very reasonable price; best $500 I ever spent! I’m going to hire Valentin again in a couple of weeks to replace my old kitchen faucet because now that the plumbing issue is fixed, I love my kitchen again and want to do other improvements (can’t wait). If you are looking for an honest, reliable, highly-skilled professional plumber at a reasonable price, I highly recommend Valentin. Mary East York

I had the roof of my 1930s bungalow completely replaced with new Architectural asphalt shingles, roof deck protection, and leak barrier as well as new metal vents installed. Tom at Mega City Roofing was very informative in his quote and he took the time to explain the work in great detail. I was very impressed with his vast roofing knowledge and his patience in taking the time to explain the process in layman terms. Tom and his team of highly skilled professionals did an amazing job and I’m extremely pleased with the quality of work, timeliness, and cleanup. They clearly have an extremely high work ethic and take great pride in what they do. My Neighbors were also quite impressed with the workmanship and commented on how fantastic the roof looks. I can’t praise this company enough and highly recommend.

I want to thank the guys who installed my new windows and doors cause they did an amazing job. The installation was very professionally done and the guys cleaned up any mess. I love my new windows and doors and would highly recommend Thermo-Bilt. Their expertise is second to none and their prices are very reasonable too. I've had more than one neighbour comment on how awsome the new windows and doors look. I can't wait for winter as there will be no more drafts! Thanks so much Doug, Dave and Dave for going above and beyond the call of duty to get the job done right. Mary

I just used Sam The Handyman to repair my chimney on my 1930’s bungalow, which was falling apart. He did a great job and was on time and on budget. Not only is the chimney repaired, but it also looks great. Sam used different color bricks staggered in a really cool pattern. It looks amazing! He also repaired the grout on some of the bricks at the back of the house. I’ve used Sam in the past to repair the slope at the side of my house in order to prevent water from pooling against the house, and I’m quite pleased with that job as well. I highly recommend Sam for any outdoor jobs that need to be done, and I will definitely use him again. Mary T. East York
