The other day I got a call for an estimate. This homeowner explained to us she hired a company, paid them cash, they did some of the work and then never came back. She was now attempting to get another company who could come out and finish the job.
When I arrived at this beautiful Burlington, Ontario home nestled in the woods, this is what I found.
When I arrived, I heard the full story. She had found this "company" on Kijiji. A man came out and gave her a price for cash and most of the money was paid up front. He worked 9 weeks on her house, did not finish and never returned. Thankfully she did not pay him 100% of the money. I looked around and saw poor workmanship everywhere. I honestly would go broke if a job this size took me over two months to complete! We would be in and out in less than a week.
I saw a T-Shirt recently and had to take a picture of it:
I couldn't agree more with what is said on this shirt. When you hire off of Kijiji, you are likely to get individuals who are not skilled. As I tell people, it is always, "Buyer Beware" when it comes to Kijiji.
At The Eavestrough Company, we stand by our work and our work is done to perfection. We NEVER ask for money up front from our customers. You do not pay until we are done and you are 100% happy with our work! This is why we have such stellar reviews on the internet on review sites like Home Stars, Google Places, and Trusted Pros.

In closing, here is a picture of a house we just completed with 900 square ft of siding, 900 square ft. of insulation, eavestrough, fascia and soffit. It took us 2 days to complete and the customers were super happy with the end result.
