I have C&X construction to fix a leak in my basement, repair the damage and update the renovation. Work included fixing the plumbing leak, remove and replace damaged insulation, dry wall, part of the raised floor, replace all carpet with vinyl flooring, knock down some walls to open up the basement, repaint the entire basement and put some updates to the basement washroom as well. The team worked very hard and finished the project in two weeks. They work 10 hours day nonstop. They are very detailed and very clean. The first thing they do is lay down thick runner along the alley way where they need to walk through from the front door to the basement. They vacuum and clean the main floor traffic area everyday before they leave. They wrap all furnitures in the basement and help move them around during their work. I am very happy with their work and will definitely recommend them to anyone who is looking to do reno work.

I had ignitor issues on my gas stove that need to be replaced as the ignitors keep sparking even if the burner is on. The first technician replaced the spark module (~$600), and fiddle a few things and made it worked for a few days and same problem came back. He came back, fiddle a few more things and it worked for another few days. A new technician was then sent and asked to replaced all burners with the ignitors (~$1800). I said to the technician that the flame looks at least 40% weaker than it originally was. He started making up some story saying the new part is more efficient so the flame looks smaller. In a few days, I smell gas when I turn on the stove. I took the my top panels off and lighted my burners and found 3 out of 4 burners were leaking when they they are turned on. My house could have blown up if I did not check myself. I tightened the hoses myself and then look for another manufacturer recommended tech to look. He immediately said it could be the orifices are too smaller in the new part. Luckily, I kept the old parts and he replaced them using those from my old burners and now everything is fine. I also asked him how much it would have costed for replacing just the ignitors and he said roughly $65 parts for each plus 15 minutes labour. So I have paid over $2000 more for nothing.
