JRae in Cabbagetown, Toronto

Strong recommendation for Matt Hart, recommended by our trusted building superintendent, who came last month to fix an old dryer. He quickly identified the thermal fuse problem and, as a bonus, pointed out the dryer vent needed attention. Matt is intelligent, personable, has a sense of humour, customer-focused and excellent at running his family business. He fixes all appliances so will definitely call him to solve future issues!

First-rate customer service from beginning to end. People could not have been more responsive to my situation. From my first call, everyone went out of their way to find the best solution to replace my 19-year-old heater. Joe was terrific, also Mark and then John from Walter Townshend and the teams who installed the liner and then the new water heater. They were knowledgeable, prompt , courteous and excellent at their jobs. Thanks again.

Dave and Andrew came to do our duct cleaning with the bonus of cleaning the dryer vent for free. They were prompt, personable, attentive to detail, great at explaining and even showed me before and after photos of the dryer vent. Was totally happy with the experience and will continue to use AtlasCare.

For both roofs and waterproofing, you can't go wrong on both counts by hiring Mike Scott Home Improvements. He (and his team) are amazing -- honest, personable, meticulous and excellent at what they do. All of the projects have come in on time and on budget and they are a treat to deal with.

David has been taking care of a number of us on a Cabbagetown street, clearing eaves and cleaning windows. He is personable, energetic and first-rate at his job -- he always goes out of his way to help. Recently, when we had a wet basement, he even came by on a busy Saturday to clear the front eaves to make sure that was not adding to the problem. We highly recommend Streakfree.

New Canadian Drain and Plumbing exceeded my expectations in totally replacing our root-filled clay pipes that had holes the size of watermelons. That situation had led to a sewer backup in my basement which resulted in the entire basement being torn up. From the knowledgable marketing reps to the experienced diggers, everyone associated with this company found workable solutions and gave first-rate service. I was originally put on to them by a friend and will certainly give them a strong recommendation to anyone who is faced with a similar challenge. And for the second time in a month, I called upon them last week to install a three-prong waterproofing system because of a secondary flood due to a leaking foundation. Once again, they went above and beyond.
