CM - Leaside

Leaside Plumbing did another excellent job. They are always on time, reasonably priced and were able to accommodate changes to work around other trades. This is the third job they've done for me and I will continue to use them.

Direct energy charged over $420 in new parts and repair costs for our Fisher and Paykel dishwasher. The new parts were installed incorrectly resulting in the new parts as well as other parts being damaged. We had to pay for the same parts again with another repair company as well as additional repair costs for the damage caused by the direct energy technician. When we asked for direct energy to reimburse us for the money paid them, not even for the additional damage, they refused. DO NOT use this company!

Mike did a great job providing and installing our home theatre system. He made great recommendations for getting the best sound for the best price and even told me where I could purchase one of the components on my own for a better price. The job included 2 built-in speakers. They performed the work well, quickly, for a fair price and cleaned up after so there was nothing to do but enjoy the system. I would definitely use them again.

I had some outlets and a potlight added for some renovation work being done. Other companies didn't want to handle "small jobs". Solutions was able to do it quickly and very neatly. It involved fishing wires through the wall and they did it with very little disturbance. The work is done properly with proper permits and without the high cost that some companies charge for a "small job". They also did some emergency electrical work for me on a different day. They were able to come right away and they discovered and fixed the problem quickly. Experience counts when you pay by the hour and Solutions is the best.

I bought some Hunter Douglas blinds and had them installed by Kingsway. They had some great ideas for the installation that I would not have thought of. They were on time and on budget. Excellent company.

Michael and the craftspeople at Mulligan Woodworking were truly a pleasure to work with. I searched for quite awhile to find a company that would build quality custom cabinetry without gouging me because of where we live. The attention to detail was amazing. I needed library cainetry with a built in desk, mirror, place for artwork and lighting. Michael went so far as to order some rosettes from Chicago so they would match the ones on the original fireplace mantel. You can tell they truly care about the work they do and all of this for a reasonable price compared to many others. I plan to hire them again in the near future.

I wish I had discovered Pink and Janice Lindsay years ago. It would have saved me a lot of costly experiments and mistakes with colours and design ideas for our home. I thought if you wanted professional design advice, you had to hire an interior decorator/designer for a large fee or a percent of the work done. Janice came and in a few hours, had selected the perfect colour for each room, drawn several room layouts, made a detailed drawing for a built-in unit in one room and gave furniture and lighting suggestions. She put together the paint, rug and upholstery samples we chose along with source information for trades and goods in an organized file. All of this for a very reasonable hourly rate. She is knowledgeable, efficient and takes into account the clients' style, not just her own. She is a valuable resource that I highly recommmend.

Finer Edge did an amazing job. In addition to some painting, we had alot of old gumwood and new wood that needed to be stained/refinished so that it would match. Other companies wouldn't take on the work or wanted an exorbitant fee, but Finer Edge knew how to do the job efficiently and well so that the fee ended up being much more reasonable than anyone else and it looks terrific. They are professional, courteous and competent.
