10/10

Woke up on a cold January morning with no heat in the house. Reached out to HomeStars looking for help after trying several other HVAC service companies only to find the offices closed until later in the morning. Jeff called me back within 15 minutes and asked how he could help. I told him the problem and he was in my basement working on my dead furnace less than two hours later. He thoroughly investigated the problem running several diagnostics and found the problem. If you are looking for an honest, hard working HVAC company that cares about his customers then look no further, Jeff is your first choice!

I hired Kovar contracting to replace all the aluminum eavestrough with seamless trough and T-Rex gutter guard along with new soffit and fascia. Alex came to the house and took all the old product down and showed me that not only was the old aluminum falling off because the wood it was fastened to was particle board and had decayed but that it was installed over the solid wood original soffit. He took the time to show me that only a few holes had been cut to let air into the attic and some of the vents had simply been attached to the soffit over solid wood and not opened up. Throughout the job Alex was meticulous about the way he worked. He explained that it mattered which way the soffit ran from the front and from your laneway. He said " it should always be a clean run visually from the main access of your house... it matters because it looks sloppy if you have right angles cutting a clean line of soffit ". Now, I don't profess to understand this but I can tell you it looked fantastic when it was done! I understood what he meant after it was finished because it literally gave a crisp new look to the house from all sides. Alex was very professional and treated my home like he wanted his treated and i couldn't be happier to have had him and Kovar Contracting on my property. It took them three and a half days to complete the job and after each day they cleaned up the property and removed all the garbage before leaving, you wouldn't know they were here if it wasn't for the big trailer in front of the house (which was also clean and well cared for not an eyesore). They cut all the old wood soffit that was under the solid aluminum soffit away and installed new breathable soffit and fascia that looks fantastic. I also have to say that the seamless trough and gutter guards work fanstastic. I have been through the fall and have not had to clear one clogged gutter and watched as the leaves simply blew over the gutters and allowed the water to flow in with no overflow, even through the big downpours we had this fall. It really worked flawlessly to the point that neighbours were asking me about it as they climbed ladders scooping black gunk from their plugged gutters. The whole system looks and works well together and since there is no bracket screws from the front, they are attached directly to fascia with screws every 8 inches through the back of trough and T-Rex system, it gives a sharp clean look from the ground. If you are looking for a perfect meticulous job and want honesty when dealing with a contractor then Kovar Contracting with Jason and Alex are your best choice. Great work Alex and thank you so much!
