We had a great experience with Pine Environmental when we were having a somewhat stressful…read moreexperience in our communal home. We were measuring mercury from a broken thermometer that my household and I were becoming quite worried may have been spread around in the affected room and pose an increased risk to anyone living in that room and a potential for affecting all of us by being spread about the house. The staff I spoke with at Pine were all very helpful, friendly, professional, quick to respond by email and phone and down to earth. They accommodated our needs. I don't have a car, and we choose to not own cars for environmental reasons, so the equipment was brought to our downtown home from their Mississauga location at no extra cost. Pine dropped off the equipment promptly when they said they would. The price they charged for the high quality equipment they provided was very fair. The equipment measured to lower concentrations by an order of magnitude than a competitor lab we used at a fraction of the price and we could do far more measurements and have them downloaded to a computer for ease of record keeping and analysis. Pine erred on under rather than over charging when the equipment was brought a bit earlier and picked up a bit later than required. We had questions about low readings and I was able to speak to one of their staff experts and was able to have in-depth conversation about the equipment and how to interpret the readings that we were getting in a scientific manner. We were able to clean up focused areas in the affected bedroom and reassure ourselves that this room and other areas of our home were safe much better than from the other lab service we used at a fraction of the cost. Thanks so much Pine! We will definitely recommend you and come back to you again! Best, Tomislav The Barley Jar (www.barleyjar.ca)

So my parents wanted to upgrade their water supply. My dad is a life long "do-it-yourselfer", so…read morethey don't have much experience dealing with contractors (they only deal with contractors for major stuff that he can't do himself). I on the other hand, am a "hire a professional to do it-er" (even for minor jobs) so I have dealt with many contractors. So they enlisted my help in finding someone to do the job when I was in Toronto visiting them. We ended up going with Absolute Draining and Plumbing and we were very happy with them. When I initially called them for a quote, someone called me back the next day. Then they sent someone the following day and gave me a 1 hour window period in which he would come. He arrived when he said he would. (Another company gave me a 5 hour window period!) When Andrew (I think he's the owner) arrived he looked around the front of the house and inside the house and told us exactly what they would do. He seemed very confident, like they had done it many times before and were experts. He told us about how the plumbing was built in older homes (my parents' house was built in the 1920s) and how it doesn't make sense anymore in 2014. He told us what they would do to with the water pipe to make it "make more sense." He told us how we could tell if a house has had its water supply upgraded. He was very knowledgeable and seemed enthusiastic about his work. (This is in stark contrast with another company we called that didn't seem clear at all about what they were going to do. They couldn't even tell us how many holes they would have to dig (Andrew told us 3). They said they were going to dig up the concrete in the driveway, dig up the concrete in the garage, and possibly dig a hole in the finished basement floor (laminate flooring) and possibly other holes. And they were not going to backfill the hole they leave in the driveway - we would have to hire someone else to do it! Andrew told us there was no need to dig up any concrete. He said they would just have to dig up the dirt on the side of the house. And Andrew told us that Absolute Draining and Plumbing would coordinate the whole project from start to finish, and backfill all holes they make. Since the other company wanted to jack up concrete, obviously their cost was higher as well. So you can see why we chose Absolute Draining and Plumbing and not this other company). Anyway, Andrew's guys came and finished the work in 2 days. They were very nice and hard working. They did things exactly the way Andrew described and everything went smoothly. We were incredibly happy with the work. Also, for this job they didn't require a deposit. We just paid in full after the job was done. This gave us confidence that they were an honest and trustworthy company. If you get a company proposing to dig up your concrete, I think you should call Absolute Draining and Plumbing and get a second opinion. Digging up concrete is a major undertaking (and expensive) and it may not even be necessary. I would definitely recommend Absolute Draining and Plumbing to anyone who wants to upgrade their water supply. Actually, I would recommend them to anyone looking for plumbing services, because if they can do something as complicated as upgrading the water supply, I'm sure they can unclog your toilet too :)

This company was hired to increase water flow and pressure, relocate the water meter and relocate…read morethe storm and sewer drain outside. I went from 25LPM to 18LPM after they changed the water pipes. They installed the new sewer drain inside the house in the middle of the room without my consent or knowledge. They cemented it after telling them not to do so. They did this because the storm drain was in the way however, they should have asked. Then they didn't re locate the meter as requested. I asked them to repair the work and they refused, then they were slandering me on my home job site and suing me for unprofessional inadequate work they did.

It is really unfortunate that we hired Solar Wave Inc. to install our solar heating for family…read morepool. The installation was done 7 yrs ago and every year after opening the pool it seemed that system installed on our roof could not hold up any winter, so on every opening we needed service as there was a major leak. Last year, Jesse informed my husband that they are installing now new materials, too bad for us as we had the old ones. Now, this year, we placed a call for our destined annual service as there was a major leak on the roof again. I am not sure why, but this time, Jesse or anyone else would not show up for four weeks. Unfortunately, we had guests over, the most beautiful hot, sunny weather where we could have used our solar system in which we invested lots of money. Jesse promised he would have come this week, then beginning of next week, three and a half weeks later, nobody came and we kept waiting as he was promising to come. Then, one evening on the coldest and windiest day of all, two Solar Wave people showed up only to tell us that it was not safe for them to climb on our roof! I expected them to come at least day after, wind died down, but it seemed that we are not so important after all as he is not returning our calls. I am enjoying the weather today, heating the pool with gas. Thanks God for internet, everyone will know about this. Stay away!

Quick, Professional, and Fair - Highly Recommend!…read more I had an issue with my Spa Box and pool pump--nothing was working. I reached out to Quick Electric late on a Saturday night via text. We spoke on the phone shortly after, I sent over a few pictures, and by Sunday he called back to say he was nearby and could drop in. I was only expecting a quote, but he took a look, went to his truck, and within minutes had replaced the breaker and fixed the pool pump. Less than 24 hours from first contact to fully resolved. Incredible! Super professional, knowledgeable, and responsive. Pricing was very fair with almost no markup on the part. Honestly, I was just expecting an estimate, and instead got a same-day fix. Already booking him again for more work this week. If you need an electrician who's fast, honest, and gets the job done right, call Quick Electric. Highly recommended!
