The Snows in Toronto

We had a new flat roof installed under six years ago from a fly-by-night roofer, which ended up leaking after 4 years and needed replacing and also caused considerable interior damage. So deciding to get it done right once and for all, I looked on Home Stars and had 3 roofers come by for an estimate. Of the 3 that I called, only Vlad from Keating actually went up a ladder and looked at the roof itself. The others paced off some measurements and gave me a quote. Keatings estimate was very detailed and provided 2 options for me to choose: a patch job or a complete re-work. The estimate even included photos of the existing roof damage so it was easy to see what actually needed to be done I went with the full strip and re-work and was not disappointed. The crew that showed up were on time, prepared and very courteous. They even got me up on the roof so that I could inspect the various stages of the job. They had all the work done in 2 days and did a thorough clean up afterwards. We now have a new flat roof to be proud of, including a 2" insulated base which has made a real difference this winter in preventing heat loss on my 3rd floor. I am very satisfied with Keating's work and would highly recommend them to anyone that needs the "big jobs" done. Not the cheapest around, to be sure, but absolutely the best value given the professional, quality work that was done Thanks Team Keating!

Our 110-year old home had incredible inlay on the first floor and some on the second floor, but with the amount of wear and tear as well as the thickness of the boards, we were unable to find anybody that was willing to restore them (instead, most wanted to lay down a new floor). Then we met Demetris. When you own an old home you get a lot of experience dealing with a variety of contractors and Demetris is truly a rare breed! Not only was he able to correct the staining on the stairs (a mess made by a previous contractor), but the restoration on the floors was incredible. He came in BELOW BUDGET (he was unable to fix the dents in the stair risers as the wood was very soft and needed to be replaced so he took off the cost amount from our bill) and ON TIME (and had it not been for the humid and rainy conditions he would have been done ahead of schedule). He was also kind enough to leave us some stain so that we could cover up areas on our door frames that had chipped off (he also explained to us what the previous workman had done incorrectly and why this was happening). We cannot say enough good things about Demetris. He and his partner are honest, hard workers and they clean-up after themselves. We would recommend him to anybody (and have already passed on his contact information to several individuals). If you have exacting standards this is the person for you!
