Dave I in Toronto

I had an excellent painter I had used for years, but unfortunately he left town. After checking the reviews on HomeStars, I decided to try Demiri Painting, and it turned out to be a great choice. Although my job was fairly small (a traditional front porch + front exterior windows) I got great, courteous service from Val (the owner). The job was really well done (I'm pretty picky about painting) and Val's crew was friendly and hard working. And Val is old school - he thinks quality work matters and you should only use quality materials - which is the perspective I was looking for. So I definitely recommend Demiri for your next painting job.

I contacted Chris at Grout Repair.ca based on the positive reviews here. I needed to repair a kitchen floor whose tiles were lifting in places and whose grout was falling out, both due to improper installation. I also had a bathroom floor where the tiles were in good condition but the grout was dirty and needed cleaning and restoration. Chris and his team did an excellent job and were very easy to work with, from start to finish. They worked really hard and the results were great, in both rooms. I'm very happy to recommend Chris if you need tile repair or restoration done.

When you own an older house that needs a chimney rebuild, it's not easy to know which contractor to choose. It's not the sort of common repair that you can ask your friends for recommendations. So based on the reviews here, plus his informative Web site, plus talking to him, I choose Bill / The Chimney Company. And boy am I glad I did - I am thrilled with the work Bill did and the way he did it. The work itself was flawless - Bill knows his stuff and has years of experience. He's a pleasure to deal with. His excellent crew leaves the job site spotless. Finally he went the extra mile (he manufactured a custom damper to replace my broken one) to give me the best result possible. Highly recommended. Thanks Bill!

Our kitchen was being renovated recently and at the recommendation of our kitchen designer we hired Kevin / The Moore Brothers to paint the renovated kitchen, an adjacent dining room with a double French door, a new (traditional wood) front porch we had had recently built, and some exterior wood windows. I was thrilled with the results and I plan to have Kevin return later this fall to paint additional rooms. I found Kevin to be professional, contentious and very easy to deal with. Especially impressive to me was when a small glitch arose (inevitable in a large job) it was quickly and cheerfully addressed. I am very picky about painting and in years past have usually done it myself but in future I'll be relying upon Kevin and his team.

After talking to several roofing firms I chose Juffs based in part on the recommendation of a friend. In addition to re-shingling I needed extensive roof deck repairs and attic ventilation improvements, so I wanted a top notch job and Juffs certainly delivered. Their crew is friendly, professional, highly experienced and well trained on the products they are installing. Most of the crew had worked for this company for ten years or more - highly unusual in this industry. They are also left the site cleaner than when they arrived. If you are looking for a top quality job where no shortcuts are taken then I highly recommend them.

I live in an old house in mid-town, and recently my main drain line became blocked. After reading the reviews here I decided to call ExpressRooter. They were very professional on the phone and "Bob" arrived within three hours to do a video inspection which revealed the line itself was fine but the main trap was blocked which we later discovered was due to infiltration of city tree roots. The work to dig down 7 feet and replace the trap and install new access vents started at 9 AM the next day. Bob returned once the hole was dug to verify the drain pipe was in good shape on both sides of the blocked trap. Finishing the job took the rest of the day. Everything about this otherwise stressful experience - the initial phone call, Bob's demeanor, the very hard working and pleasant work crew was positive. I'll be using this company in future whenever I need plumbing services.
