Sheryle

We saw a review of Gates Wildlife Control that mentioned that their home had cedar shingles. Our home has cedar shingles. We had been trying to get rid of squirrels whom had chewed their way through our shingles at the corner and was nesting in our roof for several weeks last spring. Gates' service both on the phone and in person was professional, courteous, and knowledgeable. They even recognized the address and said they had been to our house when the previous owners had squirrel issues. the previous summer we had had some work done to the sofits and eaves. The people doing the work had removed all the protection that had previously put in place to stop the squirrels from entering. Gates visited our property and performed a complete inspection before providing us with an estimate to solve the problem. In the end a oneway trap was installed and all other possible entry points were sealed. Gates returned the following week and the oneway trap door was removed and we haven't had any squirrels since.

I hired Messy Maid cleaning agency to clean my home when my other cleaner left for an extended vacation. The team of Ashley and Jen that come to my home are fabulous. They are very polite, efficient and do a thorough job. I am extremely happy with the service I am receiving from Messy Maid. I would highly recommend this service.

We went to the Interior Design show and stopped at the Certa Pro Painting booth and asked for them to come and give us a quote. They sent Antonio V. to see us in our home. We decided to hire Antonio (as he seemed professional) to remove wallpaper (in 2 of 4 bedrooms), paint 3 of the second floor bedrooms and 2 bathrooms and prime the laundry room in the basement of an empty house. They were to start on Monday and didn't start till Tuesday. Antonio was there first thing and then left the job to 3 guys. They finished on a Saturday and before they had cleaned and packed up, Antonio was there asking for the remainder of the payment. My cheque book was at my other home so he followed me there (a 15 minute drive) to collect his cheque before his men were finished the cleanup. When I returned the men left. They knew I was going to have someone in to do my floors so they left globs of drywall compound all over the floors. In order to save time they were painting and sanding in the same room. As a result the paint did not dry evenly. Doors were not painted. Areas that were to be patched, were not done. I spent Saturday night cleaning the floors so the flooring guys could do their job on Monday. Came home and sent an email to Certapro and Antonio. He came back Sunday morning with another guy to further clean up his mess and paint and patch the areas that were not completed. He showed me everything he had completed including how he had painted the doors that were off their hinges leaning against the wall. He left and when I went to put the doors back on realised he had only painted one side!!! On Monday I then realised that I would have to repaint the room where the sanding and painting had taken place at the same time. I did not want Antonio near my house at this point and ended up doing the job myself. Antronio said he was going to use benjamin moore paint but didn't so the paint I purchased(benjamin moore) was different so I had to repaint everywhere not just the bad areas. I got an acknowledgment from Certa Pro that they had received my complaint early the next week. A month later they followed up with a phone call to see if anyone had satisfied my situation. I told them that no one had followed up and how disappointed I was with the job. She said she would have someone contact me. I never heard from them again. I would never use Certa Pro or College Pro (same company) painters again. Professional is the last thing that comes to my mind when I think of Certa Pro.

I had a cabinet that I bought on Ebay that came severely damaged due to a forklift being rammed into it. The doors were knocked off, pieces of trim were broken off and cracked and there was a 6" gash in the bottom drawer from the forklift. Gus quickly repaired the piece and it looks absolutely beautiful. Thanks Gus. I highly recommend Listur Restoration and would use them again without a second thought.
