LS in North York

Domenic did an almost total reno of my 1300 sf condo. After getting 5 quotes I hired him on a gut feeling, and I dont regret it. Domenic was exceptionally hard working, and very responsive to what I asked for. He dealt with the complicated requirements of my condo board with patience. He told me an estimated finish time and I didnt believe him, because what contractors finish on time on such a big job? But he kept his word. He remediated any problems with grace and understanding. He helped me cut corners on the budget where it wouldnt affect the outcome, and generously did extra things for me so that the final product would be a good one. He takes a lot of pride in his work, and he should, because his work is great. I would not hesitate for a minute to recommend Domenic and Blue Ladder Home Improvements. After hearing from friends about their experiences with other contractors, I feel very lucky that I chose Blue Ladder. Best decision I ever made.

These guys did a great job installing a gorgeous fireplace in a timely manner. Good attention to detail and prompt responses to queries and requests. I have recommended them to others and will continue to do so.

Mice don't freak me out, but I have known that they have been partying in my attic for some time. I'm getting my house ready to sell, and it suddenly occurred to me that others might not feel the same, and that home inspectors might make a big deal out of the hotel and tennis court that the mice had built over my garage. I sent Kevin an email on a Sunday morning, he called me back that morning, and came and solved the problem THAT AFTERNOON. He was reassuring, informative, thorough, and very professional while being funny at the same time. I will recommend Kevin in an instant to anyone with a pest problem.

I procrastinated on replacing my roof since I don't know anything about home repairs and find it frustrating to find good people (I've found lots of disappointing people!). I called Mike after reading Cornell's positive reviews. He promptly sent Mark to do an estimate, which was one of four I got, and his was by far the most detailed and professional, and very fairly priced. Everyone I dealt with from Cornell was friendly, polite, prompt, attentive, and took the time to explain. They drove back and forth to my house (on a weekend, and in spite of other commitments) with samples, and bigger samples, as I had trouble picking a colour. Shingles were dropped off the evening before the job....I left for work the next morning while the guys were working, and when I came home that night I had a beautiful new roof. There was no evidence that anyone had even been there. Stay-at-home neighbours who had been watching the project all day were very impressed. I'm writing this review five months after the roof was done, because I was prompted by some bad home reno experiences to reward a good one. Thanks Mike, Mark and crew. I will refer to you whenever I have the chance, and already have a couple of times.
