I happily accepted a recommendation for Baker Street and was completely satisfied with the service. Jeff Clarke, the President of the company, came to our home himself and did a thorough examination. He walked us through details we knew nothing about, explaining things in a user-friendly way! He wrote a detailed report which we still have for reference and offered to be available if we needed further advice or services. I have nothing to compare Baker Street to but Jeff made this potentially stressful situation totally relaxing and left us feeling confident about our purchase!!

Given the housing market is cooling nowadays, if you're in the market, you are probably in a better position to negotiate an inspection on purchase. The 5-star consistent Yelp reviews don't lie. Vahn is great, and I highly recommend him! He knows his stuff and has many years of experience in construction, civil engineering and home inspections. He grew up in a household that's in construction and real estate. He quickly responds to the first request for information. However, you should be able to find all you need from the detailed breakdown of prices on his website. He spent four hours on our house and thoroughly explained the HVAC system, how all our equipment works, and how to maintain it through the seasons. Very patient with answering all my Q's because I know nothing about it. While our home is relatively new and within limited warranty, he did find some HVAC-related items, electrical panel and external areas to improve. What did we receive at the end? A detailed 45-page report (we had two HVAC systems) with 10+ recommendations and pictures. He even had diagrams of our electrical, heating and plumbing systems etc. All the model numbers of our equipment and home appliances were listed and submitted to notify us of any recalls on an ongoing basis. It was worth it for us to get the home inspection after purchase. We paid for the extended thermal scan of the home, but we didn't upgrade for the radon scan. However, it's only $30 to add on a radon scan if you want a quick check.

I will definitely recommend friends and family for Vahn service even I don't have a chance to have Vahn to be there for my home purchase at this home inspection, I will contact him for next house purchase. Thank you for the service recovery! Much appreciated!

The inspectors remark for the house we bought were "excellent" and "no water damage" "great condition and no issues whatsoever" From broken outlets to water pooling on flat roofs.

I came across Codona Flooring while searching for floor suppliers and decided to give it a try. I…read moredid not know I needed an appointment but once I got inside Milos said it was fine and allowed me to look around. He also gave some advice which I appreciated. I took pictures of the two floors and said I'll let them know. From this point on for some reason, I can no longer reach Milos but only Oliver, which to be honest I didn't care so much so long as we could get the work done. At first it was alright, we had a few text exchanges and decided to move on with ordering some flooring from them and asking them to do the installation. Then it went downhill from there as Oliver was not very responsive to my messages and took him a while to give me the WSIB and Liability Insurance. Anyhow we managed to get through. Then came the day(s) of installation. Oliver first told me he would bring 3~4 guys and finish the job in a day, but he showed up later (late too) with only one more guy and the job did not finish in that day. Then about one or two weeks later he finally was able to come and finish the job. Overall it was good and I appreciated his and his coworkers' hardwork, but the smaller details were certainly lacking. As seen in the uploaded photos the little gaps between the floor planks and between the floor and window frame Oliver never came and fixed; there was also a few other places that the baseboards were missing. The job was "done" in about March, now it is almost June. It was a misfortune that throughout April I caught COVID, and Oliver ( and his girlfriend) was not feeling well. I've got to be honest here and say that it felt as if Oliver did not want to come anymore, that he was making up excuses, because I was always the one making calls and asking him to schedule, only once did he call me and told me his availability on certain days. Finally we decided on a date but he said he did not bring his material so he will not show up. To me that is just unprofessional that you just don't show up, I'd rather you show up late because at that point I've pretty much expected him to show up late anyway. Then later we booked for another date and he just never showed up at all. Very unprofessional and unresponsive. Another confession though, I certainly should not have paid the full amount, knowing that there were problems he needed to fix. But aside from this issue it conveys to me the unprofessionalism and lack of workmanship / responsibility in Oliver. Codona Flooring may or may not be a good floor installer and supplier based on Google Reviews (4.9 Stars, wow, I wish I had that kind of service), but I could certainly say that Oliver did not match up to this 5 star standard. Oliver, if you are reading this, I want to let you know that you win, that you've successfully tired me out and I no longer wish to deal with you and your delays. To gents and ladies if you were to use Codona Flooring, from my POV I suggest finding Milos or somebody else in Codona Flooring (to avoid Oliver), or find a different contractor. The floor collection was nice, but not the service. Edit: Got a call from Oliver on Saturday May 22nd who told me he could come by that day. Came on Sunday instead due to the thunderstorm and power outage. and he fixed the floor and covered the gaps for me. Thank you for coming by and finishing up the job.

Found old raccoon damage on the roof and instead of upselling me said flat out: that part needs a roofer, not us. Who turns down money like that?

They also had a price breakdown for us that was tiered based on the severity of the mold, but they never tried to upsell us. They arrived 10 minutes ahead of schedule and they also were very honest about our mold situation and that buying some mold spray from home depot would be enough to get rid of the mold - versus some other mold inspectors who tried to sell us $2,000-$3,000 packages for mold consultation, analysis and removal. Overall, a very pleasant experience in working with Gregg and mold.ca. I'd recommend them to others seeking their mold control services.

The response was very prompt, but an official diagnosis couldn't be made without an inspection. The guys showed up exactly on schedule (a pleasant surprise for any Toronto home owner), completed the inspection, confirming our suspicion. We received their quote within the promised 48 hour period (the rate was very reasonable) and scheduled the work. Once again, the guys arrived at exactly the time promised. They were very respectful of our home and took great care to protect our floors. After the work was complete, they placed everything back as they found it and took the time to explain what they had done, and what to watch for in the future. Other than the mold being gone, it was like they had never been there because everything was as it was before. If you suspect mold, don't hesitate to call mold.ca. We, and our dogs breathe much easier!
