Have you seen this? I read an article in the Toronto Star this past Saturday by Ellen Roseman. Apparently there is a website dedicated to reviews of over 40,000 contractors in the city called Homestars. On this site, homeowners can post their experiences with their renovations/contractors (good or bad). This gives you the opportunity to find reputable contractors (or not) and read their client references/comments. Visit HomeStars.com. I believe it is free to register but there is a fee if you want to post a comment. Many companies encourage their clients to post a review on the HomeStars website and may even offer a discount if you do. Along with a detailed blog you will find events and a savings page. Beware of the savings page though because companies can post coupons and not have any reviews about themselves so no one is really sure how good they are. We always recommend getting at least 3 quotes before deciding on any one contractor. You will find a wealth of information on this site.
Enjoy!
