This fall we started to hear squirrels in our roof crawl space. Worried that they were going to settle in for the winter, we contacted Wildlife Shield. Richard came out very quickly and assessed the situation. We don't have indoor attic access, but Richard quickly set up a ladder outside and found several possible access holes. He set up a one-way hatch so that they would leave and not be able to return, and patched the other holes. The squirrels are now gone. We also received several follow up calls from the company to ensure that the problem had been resolved that we were satisfied. Impressive service -- these are good, knowledgeable, and professional people. Highly recommended.

Lee and his colleague installed a large wall-to-wall PAX closet unit in our bedroom. They added the necessary trim, worked the baseboards and door and window sills and with with finicky uneven floors, to make the whole thing look like a high-end built in unit. We love it. Highly recommended.

I wish there were more companies like Aetna. Family owned and operated, honest, friendly, helpful. Having purchased a house in a termite-prone area I called Atena to do an inspection. Dick came to my house, did the inspection (no signs of active termites) and told me that, contrary to my expectations, the treatment that was done years ago was likely sufficient and I didn't need to do anything further at the moment. Cost to me: 0$. An added bonus was the lovely conversation with Dick. Highly recommended.

Just as I was about to have new hardwood flooring installed I discovered that there was asbestos tile under the old laminate. I was on a tight timeline with floor installers lined up. David at Amosite responded immediately and was able to come out the next day. He educated me about the different kinds of asbestos and what is required by way of remediation. He also took some samples of suspicious plaster and had them sent to a lab on quick turnaround, and advised on some asbestos wrap in the basement. Once we decided what was necessary he had a crew out almost immediately do the work. When I had follow up questions he always responded quickly (including on a Sunday evening) and set my mind at ease. Several months later when I discovered a small additional piece of asbestos he sent one of his crew out the next day to remove it free of charge. Niall was a pleasure to deal with with and gave my basement a final inspection to give me peace of mind. Excellent service, highly recommended.

David and his crew were an absolute pleasure to work with. I was doing several pieces of work on a new home in anticipation of moving in, and had a tight (and shifting) timeline. Once I was ready for a quote David came to my house quickly and gave me the estimate by that evening. My timeline was such that he then juggled some other jobs so that he could have a crew at my house the very next morning to start work patching and priming. Then then worked through the weekend so the place would be ready for my Monday move date. Having recently had some less than easy interactions with other people / trades, I was relieved by the ease with which this all took place. They arrived on time, protected my floors, did excellent work, and cleaned up after themselves. They even noticed that my banister, which was not part of the original quote, looked a bit dirty next to the newly painted walls, and painted it at no extra charge. Good work, and good people. I recommend Peregrine Painting without reservation.

I recently purchased a new home with an older roof and wanted a professional opinion on it's condition and possible 'life'. I called roofrepairs.ca on the basis of the homestars reviews, and was very glad that I did. Brad came out the same day and inspected it at no charge. I also appreciated that he did not 'upsell' me. He said the roof is in good repair and doesn't require any immediate work. Needless to say this was the best possible outcome! I was very glad to have made the call.

Leo came on short notice to give me a quote for a new wooden railing for my upper landing, and he accommodated my schedule in coming to build it. The finished product is solid and beautiful, just what I wanted. He also worked creatively to supply and install a piece of nosing that my floorers should have provided but didn't. He has excellent craftsmanship and is also very nice and a pleasure to work with, which makes all the difference in fast paced and sometimes stressful renovations! I recommend him without hesitation.
