He is…read morestraight forward and provides a very thorough explanation of his process and walks you through his inspection. I really appreciate his extensive knowledge base and willingness to translate that into something my husband and I could understand. He helped us with two projects one being a pre-sale home inspection which helped us know what would come up in a purchaers inspection. We felt confident that we had enough knowledge to go into negotiations and prevent unnecessary price reductions! We also had him do a thorough inspection of a property we were looking to purchase and this revealed some serious concerns that we would not have considered. It gave us the ability to properly assess the return on investment and made us super informed. We were able to request a price reduction based on this information. We will definately use him again for my mother-in-law's upcoming purchase. Very thourough, knowledgeable, affordable, and so helpful!!! Cheers, Kelsie Arnold

My experience with To Do Done was disappointing. They provided an initial estimate, then indicated…read morethat any additional work would require a "change order". Their estimate was a bit higher than other companies, but I decided to go with them since their reviews were so positive. Unfortunately, after they had completed demolition, I was advised that they had forgotten to include the cost of labor to tile the shower (the main element of the project) so I then received a "change order" of $3300 for that work. There were several occasions where I was provided with a change order that was over double the cost of what I was quoted, and they would then reduce it with no explanation when I questioned the amount. At one point they attempted to charge me for labour to install a vanity when I had already paid for that in the original estimate. I'm not sure why this problem kept occurring, but had I not been diligent in asking for clear breakdowns of the change orders, the renovation would have definitely cost a lot more. At the outset I made it very clear that project management was important to me, as I was renovating my only shower and needed to find alternative accommodation. I was told that I would need to be out of my home for approximately three weeks, with a five-week duration for the entire project. Unfortunately, it progressed so slowly that I was out of my home for almost seven weeks, a huge inconvenience. I understand that delays happen, but at one point I was informed that my designer did not order enough tile for the shower. Inexplicably it took them over a week to get more tile from Toronto, resulting in me being out of my home for an extra week. No apologies or acknowledgement from the company for that mistake. Everything ran late, and it was two months before I even had sinks in my bathrooms. They eventually tried to blame the delays on my ordering custom bathroom vanities, which would have been believable had they ordered the vanities early in the project, which they did not. Overall, it ended up taking an unbelievable five months to complete my five-week renovation. In fairness, the last six weeks were primarily a negotiation about the damage they caused to my hardwood floor during the project. They ripped up the varnish with their tape, attempted to repair it many times only making it worse, and then had the audacity to send me a change order for $3000 to refinish the floors. We eventually came to a resolution on that issue, but it was a very painful process. For all the frustration experienced during this project, thankfully the work turned out well, aside from a few minor mistakes. There were certainly glitches along the way, such as both sinks leaking upon installation because an apprentice did the work with no supervision (again, no acknowledgment or apology, just business as usual I guess), but overall the quality of work seems good. However, if you are looking for competent project management and a company that takes accountability, I would look elsewhere. Twice during the process I contacted the owner to express my dissatisfaction, but that achieved very little. The first time she blamed everything on the designer that she fired mid-project and did not replace, and by the end of the renovation she blamed everything on her project manager. It was surprising that a reputable company owner wouldn't understand that she's accountable for her own employees. Despite the many problems and delays I experienced and the fact that she told me she was "embarrassed" by the project, she did not offer any type of meaningful compensation. She did not even offer to waive the $2400 "design and management" fee, even though she fired my designer, and the project was clearly mismanaged. To the contrary, the project ended with her trying to get me to sign an agreement to not post a negative review, which certainly provided me with clarity on why their reviews are so positive.

My wife and I used To Do Done to get our rental unit ready for sale. Because we don't live in…read moreOttawa, we needed a contractor who could do it all. Our realtor recommended them. They were a one stop for the whole make-over of our condo. They removed carpet and installed new flooring throughout, painted all the walls, spruced up the kitchen with new cabinets, backsplash and counter, and gutted the bathroom. The place was transformed in 4 weeks. We spent just over $50K on the job. The original amount we were going to list our condo for was reassessed by our realtor after their work, and we put it up for $100K more, and it sold for over asking before it even hit the market! The quality of workmanship was excellent, and we also loved the software system they used to keep us informed daily. They posted photos and kept us up to speed on progress. We were able to make decisions from a distance, and didn't need to be there at all. We only wish we had a few more condos there to spruce up - we'd do that over and over with To Do Done. Ron Misurka

We have an ongoing contract to stamp concrete our backyard. An Impressions staff member measured…read moreour backyard on July 2022 and we paid the down payment of $4240. The agreement was that the installation would start late fall 2022 or early spring 2023. After paying the deposit, some changes have happened in between that would cause us to change the scope of the project. When we wanted to discuss that with the impressions staff member, he surprised us with "the minimum mobilization and materials costs for any project of $10,500.00 + HST", which was never brought to our attention before signing the contract and paying the deposit. Also it is not stated in the contract. We are in the process of selling the house that is the subject of the contract. Hence, we have been trying to reach you multiple times with no success. Only once somebody (maybe the receptionist) took our call and promised that he would let somebody from your team contact us, but this of course hasn't happened. We then tried to find the founder of this company and we found it. So we escalated the matter to him. Surprisingly he responded and promised to follow up and get back to us. This was about 3 weeks ago. We sent him a friendly reminder, but then nothing happened. This is why, we feel that we were taken advantage of. They are using our personal circumstances to confiscate our deposit without even clarifying the situation or providing any kind of work or resolution. Our request is that we would like to have a change of the scope that wouldn't limit us to this minimum mobilization amount in our new house. This experience made us doubt that company's customer service as well as its business in general. We are really disappointed by the service that we have received from them so far. It is ridiculous how they were responsive when they wanted our project and wanted to collect the deposit, but after that nothing. We already found that several complaints have been filed against them in BBB that are similar to ours, which made us feel that it was a huge mistake working with them. We feel that we got scammed by a Canadian company. This is why, we are submitting this review to help others not fall through the same trap.

This business was sent in from our insurance company after making a claim and I was really surprised with their knowledge and quality of work.

In fact, I had problems from day one with my laminate purchased from Argos. They fixed a lot of the mistakes that were done by the previous installer. This review is not to bash Argo's, but I learnt a home owners lesson; ask a lot of questions about products before you get them installed!!! The whole process was quick and painless, and they helped move furniture around in our very small apartment! I could not be happier!
