I needed painting done in most of my home and hired Home Painters to do the job. The team were professional, personable and very accommodating especially with my requests for certain prep work that was needed. Keni, Julian and Juan did a great job covering the floors and furniture, prepping the walls and painting. My home has never looked so good! I would definitely hire Home Painters for future painting needs.

We were very pleased with the service provided by Robert and his team. Robert is extremely knowledgeable and took the time to explain the changes that were needed to correct the ventilation to our attic. The crew was on-time, professional and courteous. They did a great job on our roof and with the clean-up, afterwards. I will definitely recommend The Cutting Edge Roofing to family or friends who are looking for a roofing company.

We had a piece of aluminum trim come loose and wasps decided to make their new home under my eaves. The nest was well established by the time we discovered it. We had 3 quotes and went with Pest Zone Pest Control. Gancy told us the first application might not work but repeat visits would be covered under the intial fee. He had to return 2 more times but the wasps were finally eradicated and have not returned.

MMT water-proofed my basement almost 2 years ago. The quote was comparable to the others that I had received but the owner took the time to discuss how the work would be done and didn't disparage the methods used by other companies. The crew were reliable and worked quickly to complete the job in one day. The work site was left clean and tidy. In the 2 years since the water-proofing was completed we've had some some heavy, driving rain and the leak has not re-occurred. I highly recommend Mario and his team.

We had Northland pave our driveway, create a new interlocking front walk and epoxy our front steps and porch in 2014. Now, 5 1/2 years later the epoxy work on the front steps is cracking and heaving. We were very careful every winter to not use ice melter or salt on the interlock or epoxied areas so it wasn't caused by that. I'm disappointed that I now have to put out more money to repair the problem. It should have lasted much longer. June 6 Update - As response to Northland's comments, I would like to say that I was never told that there was a chance that the epoxy could crack and heave due to moisture getting underneath. Be aware if you purchase this product/service that you may have to re-do it in a few years.

Hi Kathy,

Thank you for taking the time to post your review. Allow me to explain the nature of epoxy coating finishes. Epoxy coatings are an extremely durable resurfacing product used to beautify or cover up older concrete surfaces. It is not structural but it's longevity directly reflects on the condition of the old concrete beneath it. It is the most economical way of updating an older concrete surface.

A concrete porch/step recovering product performance will basically depend upon two factors. The first most important would be the condition of the old concrete beneath it. If the old concrete has any cracks, fissures, spalling scaling or shifting occurring then this would have a direct impact on the integrity of the coating as it reflects the conditions it rests upon. The second would be the nature of our Canadian weather patterns. Moisture has a way of seeping in between the layer of epoxy and concrete surface and our freeze and thaw cycles contribute to expansion and retraction.

We are faced with limited options when trying to beautify a front porch. If it is not feasible to replace them since that is a major expense, then we try to cover them with either tiles (and tiles man made or natural stone are subject to the same weathering issues as moisture seeps through the mortar joints, freezes and contracts causing loose or heaving tiles) or an epoxy coating.

We have a set of concrete steps on display in our yard that have been refinished with epoxy and after 10 years it is still in excellent condition. The concrete beneath the epoxy was in good condition and this has contributed to its longevity.

In short, like staining a deck epoxy coatings also may need maintenance to keep it looking new.

Stay Safe!

Hi Kathy,
Not having seen the issue, it is possible that fissures were created when the surface beneath the epoxy shifted as the ground is Canada shifts with each freeze and thaw cycle.

Have a nice day!

I called A Perfect Pick to get a quote for re-keying a lock that I had messed up when I tried to re-key it myself. John ask for the brand and a picture of the lockface so he could ensure that he had the tools and, if needed, replacement parts. He arrived on time and finished the job in about 25 minutes. He also asked us to try the lock out with multiple keys, while he was still there. John was very personal and professional. I highly recommend A Perfect Pick Locksmith.

We were completely satisfied with Button's Heating and Air conditioning services. Todd provided us with all the information that we needed to make an informed decision that met our needs and budget. Todd and Markus completed the installation efficiently and cleaned up when done. They were professional and polite during the entire process. We were also pleased that they looked after the disposal of the old equipment including returning the rental water tank . We will definitely recommend Button's to our family and friends.
