Ive been doing business with Jason over at the Awning Factory for over ten years. My large deck…read moreawning works and looks great. It has and continues to provide much needed shelter in my south facing yard. I've had only one issue when the awning beam fell out of its railings. Jason came back to repair it but It took him a month to come back to fix it. That is why I'm not giving five stars. Last year, I ordered a sun screen. Because of supply chain issues, It took about five months to arrive. But it works great. I would recommend this business. They are reliable. And they have great products.

Looking forward to a full summer of outside shade. Would recommend Jason and Randy and the Awning Factory for any awning, pergola additions.

However, I will no longer go there for more common items, now that I know Glazier's policy that every sale is a final sale; no refunds to be issued for any reason.

Or perhaps I'll go to Canadian Tire or Rona or even Ikea, where I can buy a beautiful new lamp for about the same cost as a run-of-the-mill lamp shade at Glazier. =)

I am so happy with my reupholstered furniture. I had got a quote from another company that was…read more$9775.00 to reupholster 3 oversized pieces of furniture. 2 large chair and a large couch. Carlos was recommended by a friend, and I sent an email for a quote. Less that 2000.00!! I went and picked out fabric (from an almost TOO LARGE of a selection). He let me know he was working on a restaurant contract and wouldn't get to it for about a month. A month later he emailed me and we dropped off the furniture. He emailed and said the couch cushions had very little support left in them and they needed to be replaced. He would do it for half the price. I said sure. Then later, I got another email saying, after they had been steamed clean, they are actually not as bad and he didn't need to replace them. 2 weeks later they were ready for pick up and they looked better than I even imagined them to look!! I also asked if he had any leftover fabric for a throw on the back of the couch to protect from the sun bleaching it. He said measure it and he would have his seamstress sew something up for us. He was wonderful and the furniture we got back was amazing!!

We recently purchased two beautiful silk carpets from Indo Designer Rugs. The staff were all very…read morehelpful and willing to show us as many carpets as we wanted to view. We were also given good instructions on how to best clean and care for them. Our only concern is that as lovely as our new silk carpets are, they are somewhat thinner than what we had expected, and not as plush as the wool ones we replaced.

Okay seriously... how much time have I spent on 17th Ave?!? Years? Decades? A quarter of a century?…read more And still, it wasn't until yesterday that I had ever stepped foot inside Indo-Designer Rugs. One question: WHHHYYY?!?!? What a cool store! I mean, don't get me wrong, it's not like I"m a rug collector or anything, but I can definitely appreciate a beautiful rug. And considering this place carries Nepalese rugs, Indian rugs, silk rugs, Persian rugs, Afghanee rugs, and the list goes on and on, even an amateur rug observer can see that this place is where it's at. Plus, as if that wasn't enough, they also carry artifacts, statues, room dividers, showpieces and interior decorations. This place is absolutely amazing. And it's HUUUUUGE. From the outside, yeah, it looks pretty big, but you walk in, and it goes back as far as the eye can see! It's amaaazing! I will however warn you ahead of time: It costs big money to have things like what they carry shipped to Canada. So yes, everything is pretty highly priced. But keep in mind that artifacts, showpieces and designer rugs are always pricey. And hey, they do have a very thorough clearance section, so if you're on the 'spend-less' regiment, then you can definitely peruse this section and the chances of you seeing something you like are very high. Indo-Designer Rugs makes me wish I had a big mansion to put all these amazing things in. Well, for now, I'll just have to stick to going there to look, but mark my words, as soon as I get my very first luxurious crib, It will be completely furnished courtesy of Indo-Designer Rugs. Lookin' forward to it!

I would give 0 stars if that were even an option. This has been an absolute nightmare and easily…read morethe worst contractor experience I've ever had. After three failed attempts to complete what should have been a simple carpet installation, the job is still nowhere near acceptable. Every single visit made things worse instead of fixing anything. Their excuse? "We can't quote what we can't see." That's what I was told--when in reality they failed to properly assess the job from the beginning. That is pure incompetence, and it is not the customer's responsibility to make up for their lack of due diligence. To make things worse, the first technicians outright said the install should never have been done without removing the baseboards. Despite that, I was reassured by Kim Skow that everything would be handled properly as-is. That statement was completely false. The result proves it. They then had to come back and remove the baseboards anyway just to try to fix their own mistakes, causing even more disruption. I was forced to purchase my own baseboards out of pocket, and unbelievably, they still installed them incorrectly. On top of all of this, they damaged two door casings, ripped paint and drywall off the walls, and didn't even finish the trim on the stairs. This isn't "minor"--this is careless, unprofessional workmanship. This situation has cost me significant time, money, and stress--buying materials, moving furniture repeatedly, and dealing with ongoing disruption in my own home. Yet they continue to downplay everything as "minor issues," which is completely unacceptable. Now they're trying to push this as "job complete" while offering insultingly low compensation that doesn't come close to covering the cost, time, or effort it will take for me to rip everything out AGAIN and repurchase materials just to restore my home properly. At this point, it's obvious they have no accountability, no quality control, and no intention of making things right. Avoid this company at all costs unless you're prepared for repeated failures, property damage, excuses, and paying out of pocket to fix their mistakes

After our building contractor walked off the job, leaving us…read morebewildered, we visited Inspiration Floors & Windows Ltd., where we met KIM SKOW, who came to our rescue. We must have travelled to Inspiration Flooring at least three times weekly for several months to make flooring choices as the build progressed. Kim always greeted us with a smile and she was amazingly informative, helpful, and patient. She explained the pros and cons of each product, suggested colours and even helped us find fast, professional and affordable trades for the installation. We love the results of all these decisions; our new home is warm, comfortable and suits our lifestyle perfectly, all due to Kim's expertise. Kim made our journey through the build so much easier. Thank you, thank you, thank you, Kim. You are a superstar! Whether you are doing a small or large renovation, we HIGHLY recommend visiting KIM SKOW at Inspiration Floors & Windows Ltd. on MacLeod Trail.
