After doing a wonderful job with our backyard last summer, we had Earth and Sole come back to do our front yard this year. We are very happy with the quality of work and the polite and courteous crew. The job looks fantastic and was done right on time.

We had Ross design and build our kitchen as part of a larger renovation. We were really happy with his design vision and planning and he's a pleasure to work with. I'd recommend him to anyone.

We had Shelby and Adrian totally redo our backyard. They leveled and laid a large flagstone patio, built some gorgeous cedar planter boxes with seating, re-sodded the rest of the lawn and put in a great durable high shade garden at the back. They showed up on time and finished on time. Both of them had great guidance along the way for us when decisions came up. We had a great experience and we're having them back in 2014 to do our front.

We'd used Aubrey years ago to repair an old fridge stove and saved his card (thankfully). Our washer quit working a week before we were set to pack up our house for a renovation. Aubrey came by on a day's notice and thought he had it fixed (staying until 9 pm to get it sorted out) - unfortunately it failed again right after he left so we had to have him back. It ended up taking a few attempts but he finally got it. All the time he kept us posted, calling when he promised and showing up when he said he would. In the end he was way more than fair on what he charged us. I'd recommend Aubrey to anyone anytime.

Got an online quote which was a great process - easy to do and great details. I followed up and made the order over the phone and found the sales person really helpful (she looked up our house on Google Maps to confirm that everything would fit). POD showed up right on time and was placed exactly as promised. They are really good with keeping you informed of when and how the delivery will happen. I'd recommend these guys to anyone for moving or renovations.

We used College Pro to paint a back deck overhang and some wood siding surrounding the area. I will say that they showed up on time and were generally neat and tidy and I do like the notion of supporting students. Job was performed while we were at work and there were several missed spots which I had to ask the student manager touch up which he did. Overall the experience was okay and met expectations for an odd job but I'd be reluctant to hire them for a big or tougher job.

I've used Dr Green for the past several years for a basic fertilizer and weed control program. Service for treatments has always been good with a call reminder ahead of time. The only issue that I've has is that I originally used them for aeration as well but they couldn't seem get to our house early enough in the season for my liking.

I had Asphalt Care seal our driveway recently. They came and did the job when I was at work, so it was easy for me. The job looks pretty thorough and overspray wasn't too much of an issue. The only downside was that I wasn't clear on when they were coming and the dates changed (possibly due to weather). Since they are a small company it was tough to connect live, so I didn't know when to expect them. It really wasn't too big of a deal, I have already recommended them to a neighbour who liked the look of our driveway..

They installed a tankless water heater in our home - installation was on time and everything was neat and tidy when they left. It was a good solution to free up some space in our old basement. All said, no hassles for me, I'm happy.

Mr Roof Repair was very responsive, came when they said they would and repaired a small leaky roof problem (all of this when we were away on vacation!). Very happy with them.
