Home siding, garage door installation.

David Snell deserves a 10 rating across the board. My wife and I had spend extensive time getting quotes from several companies and meeting with them because we had specify things, "details" we wanted for the Siding on our house. All the other companies would agree to those details but then would conveniently leave them out when they submitted our quote. Finally we met with David, and when we told him our ideas, he did not shy away. He listened, understood, and even gave us some ideas of his own. He included every single detail we discussed in the quote (and there were MANY) and lived up to all of them. The installer - Steve - was beyond amazing, and my house looks absolutely spectacular. I still have people coming up to our front door and asking us who did our siding. Furthermore, David has proven to be genuinely honest. Worth mentioning is that there was a mixup with the type of siding - the company had sent a lower end siding to the house and it was installed. Steve noticed this partway through the job after most of the lower level had been installed and immediately told Dave, who then immediately replaced the siding with the original one we had ordered. This is worth mentioning because I did not know about this and David did not have to tell me, he could have left the other siding on since it looked almost identical. This speaks VOLUMES. We subsequently decided to use David for our Garage door and boy are we glad we did. This spring we will use Dave to change our front entrance door to complete the look.
I am not an easy customer to deal with. I am somewhat distrusting, a little anxious. David was always reassuring and willing to answer my questions.
My house is located at Burnhamthorpe and Glen Erin, on a small court off the north half of council ring. I will try and upload a picture of the work if I can. David is great, Steve is Great. My house looks amazing and I am satisfied.

Siding & Garage Door Repairs

Over 10 years ago I utilized this company for siding, soffits, facia, a double garage door, and gutters for my house. I also used them to replace all my windows.
A few months ago I discovered siding beside and above the garage door was pulling away and weather-stripping for the door had inadvertently been left off.
Two of David's staff did a total repair - not just by reattaching the old siding, but completely replacing the siding and adding secure weather-stripping. They were professional, friendly, and performed quality work. They refused to accept payment, even though the original job was over 10 years ago. Integrity and attention to customer service appears to be a hallmark of this company. More than impressed!

After my review in April, I was contacted by David Snell. He immediately sent an installer who completed the work. I am very satisfied with the work and the response from David. Thank you David.

Window installation

We have now had all of the windows in our house replaced by David Snell Building Services. The last three windows went in today. The work has always been completed on time and done by trained professionals. I appreciate the care the installers take with the removal of the old windows, the installation of the new windows and the clean up afterward. The windows are of an excellent quality and have transformed the appearance of our home. It is without hesitation that I would highly recommend David Snell to anyone wishing to have their windows replaced.

Very poor service after windows were installed. Even though David claims the windows were installed properly not all were and work that was to be done was not done. Would not recommend this company

I have no idea who this homeowner could possibly be as my policy is very strict on doing WHATEVER it takes to please any homeowner to whatever extreme required including ripping out any product deemed not to perform at the highest possible level.

Windows

My neighbour recommended David Snell to me as she was doing all her windows. He changed for us 5 window panels and for that i would say service was a bit lengthy but okay. Then one different window panel had a problem (not one that he had changed before) so i contacted him to get that one fixed too. From September to to January i am being tossed between him and the technician for a simple window order. I believe i have called him at least 20 times. My last call to him was in December before Christmas and he didn't even apologize or explain the delay in setting an appointment for installation. Twice he confirmed the order was out already and just to wait for installation call by Jan 5th.. Of course no one one called i called again left a message expressing my disappointment and i got no reply. My order seems to be too small for David to bother, he could have simply said look i can't do small orders especially that i was already a client of his. But obviously he didn't care to do that and at no point did he apologize for wasting my time or explain why my order never matured. Would not recommend his services.

I am very upset that this customer would make this complaint as I always made it clear to her that service on other company's products where there is only 1 window to change does not get done as quickly. Further, the weather prevents this change from happening as the temperature needs to be much higher. Our company previously changed 5 sealed units for this same customer and did agree to change the 1 more. These were NOT our windows. 20 phone calls is simply not a true statement however the homeowner was told that we would come to do the change when able.
Sealed unit changes are done as a customer service only, it is not work we seek out but we do it happily and will continue to do so, and remain committed to this homeowner even for the 1 window. We are waiting for warmer weather for a number of glass changes My cell phone # is 416-567-8794 David Snell
Note: there never was a contract to do this last window nor did any money change hands. The glass change is on a product NOT sold or installed by our company. I will happily install the glass with warmer weather.

siding, soffits, etc.

I've hired David for various projects over the last 10 years. His first project was replacing all the windows and patio door. Excellent work! Hired him again a couple of years later to replace the garage door and some shutters on the second floor. This past spring I asked for a quote for eaves troughs. He gave me a fair price but then I enquired about new siding since there was some discolouration. Dave explained that there was an option to insulate the second floor from the outside. I waited until now to see how effective it was - and it was. The upper floor is much warmer. He not only replaced the eaves troughs, siding and soffits for the contracted price but also repaired a loose spring on the garage door as a courtesy. I don't understand some of the negative comments because he has performed for me consistently - not just once! Thanks Dave.

Fonrt Living room Window install and Upstairs re-trimming of front windows

Great experience. Installers were courteous and took a lot of care. Install looks perfect and they cleaned up another installers sheet metal mess on the upstairs windows. Impeccable work done at a fair price. Great service by David Snell as he personally came to check the install afterward. Would recommend his company for any service in a heart beat.

Whole home window replacement

We selected working with David after a lot of research to determine the best type of windows and the best supplier/installer to work with. Once we heard David's name once, it was repeated by many many recommendations from other people in our community across multiple organizations that we're part of (hockey, scouts, school, etc).

David was excellent to work with. We're pleased that we chose him and have already recommended him to others. His installers were top notch, clean, polite, passionate about doing a great job.

We are very impressed.
