Skylights Unlimited replaced an old fixed skylight with an operable one that detects rain and closes on its own. The installation was in a slightly tricky space, but they managed it. We chose the skylight based on Denis' recommendation and couldn't be more pleased. It has made a world of difference in terms of air flow and a more comfortable temperature. The team was professional and efficient. They communicated clearly about the work, including when there was a (minor) issue. The skylight was installed at the same time as our flat roof was replaced, and Denis and the roofing company (J. Stewart Roofing) coordinated the work perfectly, which was one less thing for us to think about.

Very happy with the service on all fronts. We needed our basement carpet cleaned, and were hoping to get it done to a certain timeline. The company achieved both. The carpet looks and smells great. Even some tough stains came out (though a couple of others were resistant ... but even these look much better). Adel was responsive and accommodated our timeline. It is clear he/the company prioritizes client service. Moreover, Daltony, the technician, was exceptional in his level of professionalism. Definitely would use 416-so-clean again, and would recommend them to our neighbours and friends.

Peter at Fireplace Concepts was great (as was his brother, who also worked on the installation). We have a 100+-year-old home that once had a fireplace. It had been blocked off. We removed the wall and hired a mason, thinking we could put in a wood fireplace ... it was not to be, owing to all sorts of issues. Plan B was to install a gas fireplace, and that's where Fireplace Concepts came in (they had done our neighbours' fireplace, too). While there were many challenges, they eventually made it work, and they did a beautiful job. We love our fireplace. Moreover, they did it to the original deadline, despite all the challenges (which were not owing to them), which meant we had it for Christmas. Would use them again in a heartbeat.

I hired Arby to move my mother twice. The first was just to a temporary location; the next, to her final house. They were great. They were on time and courteous and handled her belongings with respect. My mother was very pleased, as was I -- hence the "twice" part of this review.

I gladly write this review, as Flavio and Matthew solved our plumbing woes quickly, professionally and with clear expertise. They came on the same day I called, distraught, over a leaking pipe, at that point cause unknown. When they arrived, they got right down to business and after some sleuthing quickly identified the source of the leak: a punctured pipe, punched through some time ago (before we moved in), but only now manifesting the leak. Then, they fixed it, efficiently and skillfully. Finally, they cleaned up, though the "mess" was minimal. Throughout, Flavio was informative, taking time to explain what had happened. He (and Matthew) were also just plain nice -- courteous, friendly and reassuring. I recommend Flavio without hesitation.
