I would highly recommend Harley Renovations. This November they tore down and replaced our old worn out deck. They are a great bunch of guys. They are timely, willing to listen to any last minute changes that you may have. Every night they cleaned up the whole area so there was no inconvenience for us. Very professional and efficient. We are very pleased with the end results
Dianne, was great to work with. When I went to her place to do the quote I was quite surprised at how bad the deck was. The deck is a second floor deck that was so badly built that Dianne or someone could of been killed or seriously injured, I am not over stating this point. The stairs where the worst I've ever seen on a deck. I am glad Dianne called us when she did, now she has a safe deck with the proper stair case that will last her for years to come. My guys really appreciated the tea and coffee that Dianne made for us daily as it was quite cold those last few days we where there.
Bob
Bob was great to work with, very communicative and reliable. The job was done with high quality and on schedule without surprises.
Jeff is a real state agent and knows property. Once we started digging the holes for the fence he was surprised we went as deep as we did. Also he liked the fact we use only screws and never use nails.
Been several years trying to get neighbour to agree to replace fence. These guys did a great job pleasing both side. Very happy with the outcome.
Doing fences can be a challenge at times, as some neighbor's can be not so nice. But her neighbor was great as well. We enjoyed doing the work for them.
Our perimeter fence was starting to list to overhang the sidewalk. The retaining wakll had started to shift as the fence was pushing into it. The original contractor that was very highly rated didn't build the retaining wall properly. The staff at Harley Renovations rebuilt the retaining wall and built a beautiful perimeter fence to match.
Jeffrey's retaining wall & fence where pretty bad. People waiting for the bus where worried it would fall and hurt someone. The contractor that did the job the first time had no idea what he was doing, and the whole thing was a disaster waiting to happen. It took two weeks in plus 40C to get the job done but now he will have a retaining wall & fence that will last for years.
Bob and his team came to our home to remove poorly laid floor tiles and replace them with new ones. They worked efficiently, yet spent time carefully making precise measurements, checking and rechecking. We were thrilled with their punctuality, attention to detail, and high quality of work. We especially appreciated that when they came across problem areas from the previous job, they pointed them out and explained how they would correct them. Communication was excellent. As well as providing top quality service and fine craftsmanship, they also cleaned up thoroughly after each day's work. We will only call Harley Renovations for any future work at our home or property.
Michele was a pleasure to work for. The contractor who laid the tiles was the person that initially contacted me regarding the tile job. The tiles were laid very poorly, pretty much all of them had high or low edges and looked really bad. We went in and tore up the tiles and Detra. Then laid a new 1/4 in. sub-floor over the existing floor, then we installed new Detra and all new tiles and baseboards.
Bob
Prompt, polite and professional. On time and on budget. We are very pleased with the job and wish we had hired Bob to lay the tile for our floor!
Holly & Andrew are very nice people. Who ever installed the floor tile made a real mess out of it. I've not seen many tile jobs as bad as the one on their floors. There are too many people out there running around ripping customers off and doing lousy work to boot.
We have just completed a small project with Harley Renovations in our basement. We had to replace tiles that were beaten up when we had to replace the mains under the house. Bob came in to look, gave us a quote and said that the job would take a few days to do.
Bob was spot on, the job took three days in total, was on budget and the tiles looks great. Communication was there, job site was cleaned up each day. Was very happy with the job. Thank you Bob.
Would recommend Harley Renovations and will use them again.
Bob installed a new porcelain tile floor for our new kitchen, bathroom and main hallway. The work done was impeccable! Both Bob and Sean took their time to make sure that every tile was perfectly levelled and placed correctly. They also replaced part of the sub floor and installed ditra under the tile floor. They have made sure that the floor in our 30 year old house is now level and very solid!
We are very happy with the job done. I would recommend Bob and would also hire him again. In fact, I have already hired him to come back in a few weeks to install the backsplash in our kitchen.
He is very knowledgeable and has brought forth a lot of valuable information for us to consider during our renovation.
I had a pipe burst and it wrecked my entire basement. Bob was great. He came and not only fixed my basement. But helped me also open it up into a very functional open concept basement that me and my kids use as an office/man cave/playroom. He helped resolve a mould issue I had no idea existed and helped insulate my basement that previously lacked any REAL insulation on the exterior walls. Bob from Harley renovations was honestly a god sent. I'm overly happy with his work and straight forward approach. No beating around the bush and it's clear he knows what he's talking about. he'll be the first I call whenever I need to start my next project.
