Expert bathroom fan installations, but not kitchen range hoods
Everything written in the reviews is true. Ted and his helper are wonderful and set the bar high for all contractors, in their work and professionalism. The bathroom fan installs went well, and there was little evidence that there was any renovation work done at all! Unfortunately for me, the kitchen range hood/exhaust fan did not go well, and there were two areas where the exhaust leaked back into the kitchen. The first leak was between the range hood and the cabinets, and the second was were the seams in the duct were taped. I'm not an expert, but it seems to me the duct sizes were mismatched and metal tape was used to seal the seam. I asked if this could be fixed and was told that the kitchen range hood was not his expertise and was done as a favour for the homeowner. Ted said that he might come by to take a look if he was in the area, but I'm guessing I'll need to hire someone to fix it, or go to home depot and try and fix it myself. (as an aside, he recommended his brother-in-law to do some brick repointing/mortar repair work. He ended up damaging the brick and I thick I'll have to hire another person to repair or repair it myself. Oh well. Live and learn. I really debated writing this review as I don't like giving negative reviews, but wanted to let others know to stick with bathroom fan installs and to stay away from kitchen range hood installs.)
