An assisted review is collected by a contractor on behalf of the homeowner after their work is completed. The homeowner must confirm the text of the review and may make any changes she or he deems appropriate. The homeowner then assigns the contractor a review score out of 10. Assisted reviews receive the same scrutiny as other reviews and must follow our review guidelines.
When my wife and I bought our home a few months ago, we had no idea that noise would be a major issue. Visits with the realtor were on Sundays and quiet evenings, and the place looked ideal. But as it turns out, our castle is beside a dumpster, and across the street from five of them – belonging respectively to an upscale grocery store and a thriving health food store in the heart one of Montreal’s most vibrant and desirable neighbourhoods. And as it turns out, the garbage pickup for these businesses is six days a week, often as early as 7 in the morning. This discovery came quite literally as a rude awakening – a thunderous banging that assaulted our ears at the start of almost every day. We honestly wondered how long we could put up with it. Our bedroom, unfortunately, is the front room – and because of the design of the house, pretty well has to be.
In searching the Internet, I stumbled across Encore’s soundproof windows –and decided it was worth a try. The window has been installed, and lo and behold, our bedroom is now the quietest room in the house. The sounds of the garbage and delivery trucks have been reduced to a murmur, and the occasional cars and buses that go by are so silent it’s surreal.
The people at Encore were prompt, friendly and professional. We couldn’t give them a higher recommendation. And frankly, we never realized how much the occasional traffic noise through the night affected our sleep. Indeed, we’ve never slept better! Thanks so much!
