## In customers' own words
_Verbatim quotes from this contractor's public reviews, each attributed to its source:_
> "They were very fast and efficient. They were professional the entire time and always in contact describing the state of the job and the options I had available. Highly recommend."
> Source: Anonymous (5.0, via HomeStars)

> "In my own job I’ve had the responsibility of choosing game stars during NHL games. Choosing a five star rating for Caribou Restorations for the job they did for me was a no brainer. From beginning to end, Stefan and his crew did an outstanding job. I would HIGHLY recommend them. And I would definitely use them again. This is how general contracting services should be done.

> "Stefan and his crew did an excellent job in replacing the sill plate and repairing damaged joist ends over a 25 ft wall section. They also performed considerable preparatory work required to access the work area: removed patio deck stairs, removed and stabilized the brick work around patio door, removed ceramic tiles over part of the kitchen floor. After repairing the sill plate, they rebuilt the flashing and vapour barrier, brickwork, caulking and floor tiling. The work took 8 days, mobilizing 2 or 3 workers depending on the day. All this to say that even though the extent of the damaged area was about 40% greater than first expected expected, Stefan was able to mobilize the skills needed to get the complex work done quickly and efficiently, within a reasonable timeframe. I was also impressed with the team's positive attitude. They were quite friendly talkative, providing me with valuable inputs and advice on a variety of house handiwork topics. I strongly recommend them."

## Before you hire an HVAC contractor
_What to check when choosing this kind of trade (general guidance, not a claim about this business):_
- Trade licensing in Canada is set by each province or territory. Electrical, gas and plumbing are licensed trades almost everywhere (for example ESA for electrical and TSSA for gas in Ontario), so check your provincial regulator that the contractor is certified for the work before you hire.
- A construction lien is a real risk: in every province an unpaid subcontractor or supplier can register a lien against your home even if you already paid the main contractor. Hold back the statutory amount (commonly around 10%) and get signed lien waivers as you pay.
- Confirm they cover your area and can actually come out in your timeframe before anything else.
- Read recent reviews for reliability and turning up on time, not only the quality of the work.
- Agree the call-out fee up front, and be wary of large upfront deposits for an emergency job.
