Keith made a beautiful job out of reupholstering a loveseat. He helped me with fabric options and explained what to look for in a fabric to ensure durability. The price was very reasonable and the workmanship is top notch. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Keith and Upper Canada Upholstery.

I knew that the shingles on my roof were not going to make it through another winter so although I was not looking forward to the project, I researched and obtained quotes from a few roofing companies. Coverall Roofing stood out from the rest in terms of positive reviews from various sources in addition to Homestars. George responded promptly and came round to have a look at the project the very next day. I also wanted the flat roof above the carport replaced, and rather than just adding it to the job George pointed out that I could probably get another 5 years out of it. Although I did go ahead with the flat roof as well, I appreciated the effort to save me some money. George explained the shingle options and provided a detailled quote for the work and was very prompt at answering follow-up questions. The crew showed up early and spent a very long day, but the roof was complete in a single day. They were polite and courteous, and did a great job of cleaning everything up afterwards no surprises from roofing nails in our tires! George kept me up to date on progress and followed up afterward to check whether there were any issues and confirm that we were happy with the work. The existing flat roof was experiencing significant ponding after rain, and the roof's configuration meant that it could not be sloped to address the ponding issue. George came up with a creative solution involving additional eavestroughing which has solved this problem. There were a few peculiarities to the flat roof job which George and Wes addressed without additional charge, and some areas where the plywood had to be replaced, again without an additional charge which I really appreciated. Overall this was a very positive experience and excellent value for the money. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Coverall Roofing to anyone needing roof work.

This was a very tricky renovation project, and Lowell and Michael did a magnificent job. Beautiful workmanship and amazing attention to detail, and they treated our home with care. Lowell made a number of suggestions about points that the other contractors we interviewed didn't mention, and Michael was as hard-working a person as we've ever seen! When unexpected things cropped up they were unfailingly good-natured and Michael's eye for detail found us a better colour-matched threshhold than the one we had picked out. They were a pleasure to have in our home, and Christine in the back office couldn't have been more helpful in answering our questions. All in all, we recommend Lyons Construction with no hesitation whatsoever.

Smith Metal Works and Tarek were great to work with. I had an unusual design in mind for the railings and handrail of my front porch, and Tarek took the time to come round to my house on a Sunday, discuss the design and point out some aspects that I hadn't thought of. He had a large inventory of photos of past jobs, which was very helpful in settling on a final design. The final product was delivered on time, and the workmanship is impeccable. This is a very professional company that goes the extra mile to give customers a great product and excellent service. Thank you Tarek!

Quality Restorations were a pleasure to deal with. From my first contact with Doug he demonstrated professionalism, arriving on time for our initial appointment (some contractors I spoke with didn't turn up at all), offering options for dealing with my crumbling porch and stairs, providing a detailled list of references, and referring me to other customers and emailing me photographs so that I could see previous work done by his company. Doug also impressed me by responding quickly to phone calls and emails (again setting the bar high for other contractors). As generally happens on reno jobs, an unexpected structural issue was discovered once the work was underway, but Doug and his team devised a creative solution for it that did not result in an increase to the price quoted for the work. I appreciated that very much because it would have been very easy to inflate the job unnecessarily on account of this issue. Doug also was able to pull in a supplier of wrought iron railings, with whom I was also very impressed, to help design new railings for the porch, thereby saving me a lot of time in researching suppliers for that aspect. For any work that my house requires from now on, Quality Restorations will be the first place I call. Thanks, Doug and team, for a terrific job!!

Gus and his crew were punctual, hardworking and did a great job, right from the initial site visit, through suggestion options, pointing out necessary changes to my design, and execution and clean-up. Gus was very prompt at returning phone calls and emails even in the peak summer season. The patio looks wonderful and the job was done on time and on budget.
