Last year, I contracted Student Works to stain my gazebo. Initial cost was 2000$. The work was late, and terrible. Not uniform, stain drops on my porch screens and walls. In short, they did not complete their work and they did cause a lot of damages. I went to the small claim court with several photoS and estimates to correct some damages. The Court said i did not have to pay them and that they must refund me around $2400 for damages, deposit, interest, judicial fees. Well believe it or not, they did not pay. I am now in contact with a baillif to seize some of their assets. Seriously, this company (who hides behind their students) should be avoided at all costs. If you ever get a problem with the work, count on them to make your life as hard as possible. Well, believe me, in the spring of 2016 (during their door to door sales) i will put all my effort to publish (through social media and others...) and make people aware of their behaviours and no respect of the law. Unbelievable. This company will not even respect a Court Order, you must avoid Student Works at all costs.

I am sorry that you feel this way and the service was not up to your standards. The operator involved, who has done close to $500,000 worth of business with amazing customer satisfaction while in full-time school over three years disagrees with your opinion. He was unable to make the small claims court date as a result of his class schedule.
One of the many great things about being a Canadian is that we have courts to hear our complaints and make a decision so that disagreements do not snow ball into more unsightly 'unCanadian" activities.
It is our understanding that Dylan told you one month ago, that he was appealing this ruling as he was unable to defend himself. Dylan will certainly respect a court order. If he does not, Student Works, will step in and pay the amount owing.
