“Thank you so much for posting my review. I wish I had known about your webservice before we went shopping! I think your website is great. Keep up the good work! I have learned my lesson and I will never again give a company business without a good reference! Word of mouth IS the BEST advertising, hands down.”
– Burlington Homeowner
“I love this website. I applaud whomever came up with this idea of a consumer-driven listing of home repair professionals. Well done! – My husband and I will be moving to London soon and I was wondering if a similar website exists for that city. You are providing a great service…keep up the good work!”
– Deanna from Toronto
“Just want to say thank you for this website – I posted a bunch of reviews today when I realized that some people who I always recommend to others and who do great work have not been reviewed or are not yet included. I have now used this source to find five different trades – and as of tomorrow – will be using Open Sesame – to replace a garage door opener – found also on your website!”
– Barb W
“I think you guys are doing a great job. Keep it up
When I started a large home renovation, I was looking for a site like this and sadly it did not exist at that time. Since you came along, I consult your site on a regular basis and I’ve used a few companies that have good reviews.
Word of mouth is advertising is so important, and the more people who know about good and bad suppliers, the better off we’ll all be.”
– Karen B
“Thank you for the opportunity to share the wonderful experience I had in getting my home redesigned.”

“An invaluable resource.
I was very lucky to come across The Globe and Mail article about this site just days before a mishap made it necessary to replace the tiles in my bathroom. Thinking about all the home renovation horror stories that I had heard or read about, I logged on to your site in the hope that it would help me find the right person for the tile job. And that’s exactly what happened.
After a few minutes of clicking around, I found a contractor with glowing reviews who happened to live in my neighborhood. He renovated my bathroom on time, within budget, and with exceptional workmanship.
I find this site very well organized, easy to navigate, and an excellent source of information on home renovation. It is an invaluable resource for anyone who needs a job done in or around the house.”
– Zorica
“Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU. My husband and I are mid-way through the planning process of renovating a 4 storey house and I have just found your site – what a godsend.”
– K. Donoghue
“I just bought a new house and I am renovating my kitchen, bathroom, as well as painting and decorating. I have three kids and a full time job – Homestars is amazing – every day I look up another category and find incredibly helpful information. I cannot afford to make mistakes with trades and I don’t have time to shop around looking for all of the things I need. Homestars is an incredible resource that provides relevant and current information and makes it that much easier to navigate my way through projects. I love to reward companies and people who do a fabulous job, and call out those who do not. And because I have benefitted so much from other people’s experiences it is a pleasure to help others with mine.”
– Deborah Meek
“I am very pleased to have come across your site. I do not live in Toronto, however as a result of living in a very isolated community I end up purchasing a great deal of products from the Toronto area. This site will be perfect to check on retailers I plan to give my business to. It is a very innovative idea and I think it will be a huge success. The site is quite an accomplishment and I wish you much luck with it.”
– D Porter
“It is a bit cliche, but I have been trying to find someone to air seal my house for over 6 months and after 5 minutes on Homestars, I had an appointment booked with the exact contractor that was a specialist in this area. The site is very comprehensive and I will go back there for other contracting needs as they arise.”
– C. Webster, Toronto
“I needed a mover just before Christmas to get back into my newly reno’d house. In the past I’ve had terrible experiences with moving companies but I couldn’t get a hold of friends to get a recommendation. So I checked out www.homestars.ca and read a review on Nortown Movers. It was glowing – so I gave them a shot. And they were fantastic!”
– S. Marrone, Bedford Park Homeowner
“Love it!!! Best website ever. I sent it to everyone I know and entered a bunch of reviews. I’m known to have the best list of people by my friends and now I can refer them to even more.”
– M. Eaves
“What a fantastic idea. Found out about your site at the Interior Design Show in Toronto. Really appreciate that someone has provided this kind of resource to those of us with lots of renos to do. Thanks.”
– R. Sinclair
“I just found out about this website. I think it’s great that consumers can share information and hopefully keep the trades honest.”
– J. Cheung
“I’m getting a lot done to my place as we speak, and with every good contractor, I get 5 bad ones. It’s really too bad. And that is why I am so adamant to populate your website with my comments. I wouldn’t want anyone to go through my nightmare.”
– Bob from Mississauga
