I write this review to help for those who are planning to install hardwood flooring. Straightforward estimation, no hidden costs, on time installation, quality and very neat work. I wanted to replace carpet with hardwood for two rooms in my house and this is how it worked, Called McLaughlin Flooring for estimation, fixed an appointment for measurements, showed up at exact time, did the measurements gave me the itemized estimate on the spot, explained the items clearly and gave the option to supply the material or provide it by myself. I write this lengthy review just to help the people who are searching for a good and honest honest installer. That day evening I called him back and finalized the date for installation, with material supply. Got the flooring installed on time as agreed. After witnessing the quality of work, I replaced the carpet with hardwood in the other two rooms as well.

Well organized and very professional. Dealing everything very openly, no hidden agenda, not money grabbing. When contacted the first time, they told me very clearly that it would take around 4 to 5 weeks. Around that time, called me and delivered all the material, and finalized the date for installation. After couple of days their crew of 8 people showed up and completed the work in one day. There was one person dedicated to collect the removed shingles and nails from the ground. After completing the job, I had to chase them to handover the check which is a proof for "they are about the work and not behind the money" Excellent job

I contracted weed man some time in July to get rid of the weeds from my lawn, the biggest mistake I did in this year. They sprayed weed control, there was not much effect on the weeds, while the grass started looking unhealthy. I called them after two weeks and complained about the 'no effect' on weeds. Weed man returned back after couple of weeks and sprayed the weed control again. All the broad leaf weeds died down and the grass colour turned to brown-green. I thought soon it will become normal, but nothing happened. In an attempt to bring the grass back to green, watered the lawn on alternate days. Nothing happened, other than hiking up the water bill by three folds. Weed man followed their process very sincerely, spraying of third dose of weed control, slow release fertiliser, etc, etc. I noticed that the grass became thin and there was no growth, colour permanently changed to shabby brown-green. As part of their process, inspected the lawn and reported as, "thatch formed in the grass, so it need to be treated with aeration, thatch removal, etc, etc for an additional cost of over $200, no word about the sick looking grass. Then, I decided to take the grass under my control.. Canadian Tire fertilizer and ‘Weed all’ helped me to retrieve the grass back to green. In the mean time Weed Man started annoying me with numerous phone calls on their recommendation for aeration and thatch removal etc. One day in October I called them and told, "Please do not make any visit to my Lawn"
