Doug in Markham

I contacted swat wildlife to help with a raccoon entering our house through the soffit. Randy came in short order to install a one way door and also located another potential entry point. Smooth, professional process from beginning to end. The houseguest has definitely left as I’ve seen him in the back yard.

After Jay and team completed my backyard patio in the spring, I had them back to replace the fence along the side of my house. They were able to replace the fence, including 5 posts and a gate, in just one day. And it turned out great!

We contracted Milestone Aluminum to put siding on top of a wooden surround for a bay window. Dorian and crew arrived nice and early the day of the work. He thoroughly explained what needed to be done, was neat and meticulous while doing the work, and left the job site spotless. The work turned out great, and I would not hesitate to use them again.

We contracted Green Side Up to give us a backyard and front step makeover. After meeting with a few contractors last fall, we chose Jay as he was the most honest and trustworthy, and it was clear that he was really passionate about landscaping. His prices were reasonable too. The crew arrived nice and early on the first day and got to work clearing out the old steps and patio. There was constant communication along the way from Jay and Matt on what they were doing, and when they were going to do it. After a couple of rain delays, they worked through the weekend to get the job done. They worked every day that the weather allowed, as early April was really wet this year. After the patio was laid, new sod and a few shrubs arrived shortly after. The crew was very respectful and cleaned up after themselves daily. They were also really good with families, as my young children were often trying to talk to them. Overall, the quality of workmanship was excellent and I could not have made a better choice. I am very satisfied with the whole process and the final product, and would not hesitate to use Jay again. You don't have anything to worry about if you choose Green Side Up!

This isn't the first time I've used spring home heating, and I will continue to do so for this line of work. This time, I needed a new air conditioner in August. Cy was quick to respond and recommend exactly what was needed for my home. The crew came a few days later and were quick and courteous for the 4-5 hours they were here. They cleaned up after themselves and it looked as if nobody was here. They followed up a few days later to ensure the new unit was functioning as expected. They did all the paperwork for govt and Lennox rebate which I received a few weeks after the installation. You will not be disappointed if you choose this company.

We recently used Toronto Granite to purchase and install a granite countertop and sink. The entire process was very smooth, from the initial visit to the showroom right up to the installation. They were quick too, with just over 1 week between selecting the slab and installation. Thank you for a great home renovation experience!

I called Mr. Rooter to replace my main water shutoff valve and do some work in my laundry room - a new laundry tub require moving some of the pipes. They were on time, efficient, clean and friendly. As a side note, so was the Town of Markham who had to turn the water off from the outside. Not only did Mr Rooter do a professional job, they were very easy for my wife to deal with since I wasn't home and also inspected the other taps and toilets in the house to see if they were functioning properly. My wife will appreciate the branded nail filer, and I will definitely call them next time I need plumbing work done! Thank you for making this such a great experience!

I called Java Electric on Tuesday, and Wednesday they came over for the couple of things I wanted done. The outlets in my kitchen weren't working and the breaker would not go back on (mostly my fault for trying to replace the outlets myself, but I couldn't figure out what was wrong) and they also installed a GFCI outlet outdoors on my porch. I left it up to them to pick a place to install it outside because only my wife was home, and they picked the perfect place. Inside the house, they cleaned up after themselves, their work around the electrical panel was very neat, and were very easy to deal with for my wife and two month old daughter. They explained things so clearly, my wife could even repeat them when I got home from work! I highly recommend Java Electric, and they are the only place I will call the next time I need an electrician. Very reasonable price too.

I called Cy at Spring Home Heating based on other reviews and also a recommendation. He provided a very competitive quote and was able to install an air purifier and new humidifier two days later. The guys that came were punctual, professional, and cleaned up after themselves, and their work looked very neat and professional. While they were working they noticed a problem with the exhaust pipe on the hot water tank and repair that as well with no additional cost. They explained how everything worked after the installation was complete. Cy even followed up a couple of days after the installation to make sure it was ok. I will definitely call them back when it's time for a new air conditioner!

Andrew and his team did a great job re-leveling my steps which are made of interlocking stone, removing a tree and an extra stump in the yard. His team was really fast and professional, and the process was smooth from first contacting Andrew to finishing the job. I plan to use him later this fall for more things!

After reading other reviews on Homestars, I called Paul to get the ducts and furnace cleaned for a home I recently purchased. I wanted a weekend appointment and he was available the next weekend. He was very thorough and definitely takes alot of pride in his work, and also took the time to show me what he was doing. He also took the time to look at the filter in the humidifier, and good thing because it looked like it had not been changed in years! I will definitely use him again.

I contacted George after reading other reviews on Homestars to install a gas line for the new range I had purchased. He was quick, friendly and courteous throughout the whole process and definitely took pride in his work. I will definitely use him again when I get a gas bbq!

These guys were great! They were fast, careful and very professional. Showed up early on the day of the move and always quick to answer emails/phone calls before the moving date. They even had time to put together some of my furniture after moving everything. The service was well worth it and I will definitely use them next time I move.
