They did an excellent job on every part of the project. The team showed up on time, explained everything clearly, and worked with real attention to detail. The foundation repairs were done properly, the cracks were sealed, and the waterproofing system was installed cleanly and professionally. My basement has stayed completely dry since the work was completed. They also safely cut down the branches that were hanging over the house, which gave me a lot of peace of mind. Everything was done efficiently, the crew kept the property clean, and the final results were even better than I expected. I highly recommend them for foundation work, waterproofing, and exterior home improvements." > Source: Anonymous (5.0, via HomeStars) > "I hired this company to repair my roof and remove a large tree that was growing too close to the house. They were excellent from start to finish. The team arrived on time, assessed everything carefully, and explained the work in a way that was easy to understand. The roof repair was done quickly and with great workmanship. They fixed the damaged shingles, sealed everything properly, and made sure the roof was secure and protected. The tree removal was handled safely and professionally, they took down the branches and trunk without causing any damage, and cleaned up the entire area afterward. I’m really happy with the results. My roof looks solid again, and the yard is clear and safe. Great service, fair pricing, and a very reliable team. Highly recommend them for roofing and tree removal work." > Source: Anonymous (5.0, via HomeStars) > "I had my chimney completely rebuilt and I couldn’t be happier with the results. From start to finish, the team was professional, knowledgeable, and very easy to work with. They explained every step of the process, kept the area clean, and finished the project on time. The new chimney looks amazing, solid brickwork, clean lines, and a perfect match to the rest of the home. You can tell the workmanship is high-quality. They also made sure everything was safe and up to code, which gave me a lot of peace of mind. I highly recommend them for anyone needing chimney repair or masonry work. Excellent service and great results." > Source: Anonymous (5.0, via HomeStars) ## Trades Basement conversion specialist, Bathroom Fitter, Bricklayer / mason, Building inspector, Concrete contractor, Drainage contractor, General Contractors, Kitchen Fitter, Roofer, Siding / cladding contractor, Structural engineer ## What we checked, and when _What MyTrustedTraders independently checked for this business (verified items only):_ - Review volume: MyTrustedTraders shows 5 public reviews on this profile.

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. - Ask to see a portfolio of completed work like yours, plus recent references you can contact. - Check the credentials and registrations that matter for this work, and that they are current. - Get a written, itemized quote with scope, assumptions and a staged payment schedule. --- Source: MyTrustedTraders, https://ca.mytrustedtraders.com/traders/dryguard-home-improvements Real public evidence only: every figure traces to its named source.
