We called Nick at Interior Climate Solutions to replace our aging furnace and A/C which were starting to fail. We found them through their stellar reviews on homestars and google and they completely lived up these expectations. From the start Nick was clear and patient when walking us through our options. Another company we talked to jumped right to an equipment suggestion within a few minutes on the phone, which felt rushed considering they didn't gather much information about our house. Nick on the other hand took time to understand what we wanted to do and came up with a number of different options for us. We ultimately decided to go with a heat pump backed up by a high efficiency furnace, which would give us the environmental benefits we were after (low carbon emissions) with peace of mind for the coldest days of the year. With the government rebates for heat pumps this option would cost about the same as a straight upgrade of our existing furnace and A/C unit. The job went as smoothly as you can hope for. As we expected from the clear communications with Nick when planning the job, he kept in constant contact in the days leading up to the job and answered all of our questions right away. Him and his team finished the job in about a day and a half, as we had planned for. They were friendly and respectful of our house all the way through, and left the basement clean when finished. Our heat pump has been running for a week now and has been able to heat the house on its own, even when it went down to -10C one night. We're super happy with it so far and highly impressed the professional service that Nick and ICS provided. We will recommend them to all of our friends looking for HVAC work and they will definitely have more of our business in the future.

We hired decksforlife to build us a new deck as our old deck was in pretty bad shape. We got quotes from multiple companies but picked decksforlife as they came in with a very competitive quote and could start in a few weeks. Iaroslav, the manager of the company, walked us through the whole process and our options for materials and design and answered any questions we had. I was impressed with Iaroslav's prompt replies to our questions as he always answered within a few hours. The construction crew was led by Yuri. They showed up on time everyday and worked hard to complete the project in three days, which was faster than scheduled even through one day was cut short because of a downpour. Like Iaroslav, Yuri was available to patiently answer our questions during the build. The deck they built for us is exactly what we wanted. Great crew and great communication throughout the project, we highly recommend decksforlife.

We hired Brian to fix some cracked parging around the back and side of our house, along with replacing a few bricks that were damaged. We are very happy with the quality of the work and also with how easy Brian was to work with. He walked us through all the work he was going to do and completed the job without any problems. We would definitely call Brian for any future masonry work we need.
