My eaves were cluttered with leaves and every time it rained it was pouring off the roof but could not go through the eavestrough. I wanted to make sure I used a company that specialized in cleaning and was not going to try and sell me on new eavestroughs. I got a few quotes from highly rated Homestar companies, but Vlad was the most responsive. He came over to look at the house and gave me a quote that seemed reasonable. The others only quoted over the phone and I was concerned that it could change once they were here. Vlad returned within a few days to complete the cleaning. After a fairly big rain yesterday, I can say that it seems to be a very good job as the rain all went through the eavestrough. Thanks Vlad!

We have had a problem with a leaking eavestrough for a number of years. It was particularly dangerous as it was in a spot above our front walkway, frequently creating a frozen pond or wading pool depending on the season. Despite spending a fair amount on various patches with different companies, the problem always returned. We had hoped that the solution would be to raise it up and slope back towards the drainpipe and invited a number of companies, all highly rated on Homestars, to come and quote on this project. As others have mentioned, several companies do not even bother to return their messages and of those who came, some claimed that they could do this repair but despite the fees that they wanted, could not really guarantee that it would work. The cost to replace it varied quite significantly. Russell and Sergey were the first company to actually open the drainpipe, see that it was clogged with leaves and try to solve the problem that way, quite simply and before even being hired/paid. Although this did partially alleviate the back-up, the leak would have persisted and they were very honest saying they could not stand behind a simple repair as it would be unlikely to be effective. For a very competitive price, they were able to install a brand new eavestrough and downpipe. This team was very responsive from the initial contact, keeping in touch regarding when they would come for the estimate and then the actual work, which they were able to schedule and complete within just a few days of the estimate. They also very kindly did a few other touch-ups as an extra and special bonus, which was greatly appreciated. Russell and Sergey are very nice professionals, who were easy to talk with, dependable and skilled at their work. I highly recommend them.

Mother raccoon got into garage when door accidentally left open and had babies. Then she was chased away and poor babies left trapped on shelf. Chris came and removed then and set up in box so mother can hopefully come back and get them. He also repaired screening in garage from previous squirrel experience and put in a one-way door that other company never installed in case something did get into the house. I would also like to advise that I tried to get the highly rated Kevin from GTA Wildlife Removal several days ago and am still waiting for a call back. This delay probably cost these babies their life. Chris not only immediately answers his phone but was able to come within 24 hours and was right on time for appointment. Great service!
