I have used Leaside Plumbing for several years now. Recently I had a leak in the chrome piping leading from the pedestal sink to the wall. It was a more complicated repair so it required two plumbers at one point to shift the sink from the wall and re-anchor it after the repair was done. They responded to my phone call about the leak immediately and were there later that day. Last year I had a more serious problem with my drains that required several days work including digging out part of the basement. Once again they showed up promptly, assessed the problem and returned the next day with a crew. The problem was tree roots and the age of the pipes. The house is 1923. The cost of that work was approximately $15,000. Liam, one of their plumbers assisted me in securing a grant from the city as part of the basement flooding protection program. He spent a considerable amount of his time with back and forth communication to secure these funds. The staff from this firm are courteous and professional at all times. I would have no hesitation using this firm in the future. I have in fact referred them to friends requiring a plumber.

I had a new exterior door installed yesterday. It had to be a custom order because is the odd size. The new door looks terrific and as always Superior Home Improvement installers did a great job. This is the third door they have installed. They are a pleasure to work with and the quality of the workmanship is excellent. I would have no hesitation recommending them for future work.

Al's Roofing has replaced my roof twice in the last 25 years. I had a small leak this week likely caused by a missing shingle or animals scratching at the shingles. Dave from Al's roofing responded to my telephone call in a prompt manner and they arranged to come by the house a short time later to make the necessary repair. They have been consistent in following up any time I have had small issues due to wear and tear. I would have no hesitation recommending them for roof replacement and repair.

I had retained this company twice before to repair worn hardwood flooring in my house. They were small repairs but the replacement flooring and stain matched very well with the old floor. He gave me some stain to keep should I need it in the future. Evangelist was a pleasure to work with and I was happy enough with the work I recommended him for a commercial contract. This past spring I hired him back to repair a section of flooring that had not been repaired in the past. He did a great job of cutting out and repairing the sections. He used the same stain but when it came to finish the job it was clear he was in a hurry. He sensed the stain was going to be off and as much said so. My guess is the oak wood was a different colour. He stained it anyway. And then he came back to put the protective finish. I assured me it would all be fine. As they were putting on the finish I told him there were flecks of something on the floor. He said they would disappear. The didn't. It was lint from the roller which hardened. So half of the new floor has hard specks all over it. So in addition to the wrong stain I have to look at this every day. I texted him after the job was done but clearly he wasn't interested in fixing it. In fact he said foe. Few thousand dollars he would be happy to replace the flooring with brand new flooring. My solution. I moved some furniture and placed a runner over part or it. Not what I expected from someone who I worked with before.

Approximately 7 years ago Al's roofing installed a roof on my bungalow in East York. This was the second roof they installed for me. In December 2011 water started to run down the wall in my bathroom. I called Al's roofing and they responded quickly. Because of the time of year with cold temperatures, snow and rain their investigations took longer. After finding nothing specific on the roof they went into the attic. That allowed them to trace the leak and they discovered that an animal had scratched at the shingles tried to pry away part of one to get underneath. It was enough to allow water to penetrate the roof when it rained. I would have no hesitation recommending them for roof work. Their staff are also a pleasure to work with. There was no charge for this service. The original work was approx $3,000
