Fraud Platform
March 7, 2023

Do not ever believe what they are saying. I have experienced that they say something but do something else. Due to some reason I had to call them but they took God Promise they did not my call. I have tried so many times. Now when blocked my card to stay away from payment they started calling me to just to get the payment. They were taking money from me for nothing. Don't listen to them its all $#*! they will tell you to get the signed on contract. I humbly request be safe and be care full.

Homestars.com is a scam
February 14, 2013

Homestars.com is a scam. Why? As an employee of a contactor listed on this site, Ive personally witnessed and participated in posting at least a 50 10 star reviews for my employer. All you need is a valid email. Most of the reviews on there are not actually satisfied customers but the companies themselves. Very misleading and in my opinion wrong.

*Its not a reliable place to find a contractor. Its better to ask friends or family for referrals.

Very rude staff
May 10, 2021

I spoke to Olivia on the phone who I told to call me back in a few hours as I was busy. When she called me back I respectfully answered instead of ignoring the call so I could tell her that I was not interested at this time. She instantly got angry and started giving attitude towards my decision, she said "wow so your not looking for more business? Ok we have clients looking for contractors and you dont want them ok whatever fine!" I kept my cool and continued to apologize and tell her I was not interested at this time, she would not take no for an answer and continued with rude comments.

Would NEVER consider this company in the future

This company was great, I started by contacting Wayne he measured accurately and got me a reasonable quote the same day. The next day Nick and Steve showed up with all the equipment they needed to build my chain link fence. They were efficient friendly and worked very hard from start to finish. A happy customer with a lovely fence!
Thanks Abacus Landscapimg and thank you Wayne, Steve and Nick... nice work guys!

Scam
September 15, 2023

They do not really do anything to bolster your business and sneak in a 35% THIRTY FIVE PERCENT. Cancellation fee when you realize their services are usless costing you anywhere from 700-1000$. One of my biggest mistakes I've ever made. They turn small businesses into easy money for themsevles.

We had 4 windows replaced from window seal west. From the very start Ruslan was professional and answered my emails within an hour. We ordered and as promised in a few weeks our windows were in and looking beautiful. The guys who came to install were friendly and very respectful of my home and dogs. Fast and clean work. They cleaned up right after and it looked as if they weren't even there. Except i had beautiful well installed windows. Anyone looking to get new windows must give these guys a chance. We did our homework and they were the best value. With hours of them leaving i was called and they set up my government rebate. No hassle for me. Sign a paper and done.

We are the original owners of our now 18 year old home. When the house was built, Newmar windows were installed. The cranks were no longer working properly on a couple of casement windows. Ray was the service tech that fixed them. He was so pleasant and very willing to share window maintenance tips that he made my day. I would highly recommend Newmar.

All bark and no bite
February 27, 2023

If you have money burning a hole in your advertising budget pocket, then feel free to send it to me, cus I won't do anything for the money either. Complete waste of my money, and I'll be wasting more just to get out of the contract. First month, an overwhelming number of phone calls to see how they can help me. Got seven or so leads, turned out to be "tire kickers". Beginning of the second month, got one lead that turned out, but not big money and not really for what I do. Now at the end of the third month, absolutely nothing. Complete waste of money, in my opinion. As a renovation contractor, it would be better to leave my business card on the table at the food court.

I really don't put a lot of weight on any review based services online. They are all shady! Homestars actually pays people to add reviews wtihout any kind of verification. Trustedpros isn't any better. I like knackthat.com but they are new and there content is still growing.

We purchased a central airconditioner from Convertible Heating & Air Conditioning Inc 5 days ago and we are very satisfied with their service. The company attended to our needs promptly and efficiently. The price was reasonable and service is excellent. We were accommodated even in their busy schedules. They installed the unit on time and it was working well. The people are friendly and professionals in dealing with customers like us.

I've run my own company for over 25 years, and haven't received any complaints! Registered with homestar, in which they posted fraudulent review from an individual, which was not investigated. When I notified homestar, they were very misleading, and dishonest on their posting requirements. Im even in the process of hiring a lawyer, for slander from Homestars' post. What makes them even worse is, since I've complained to them, I am no longer able to access MY OWN REVIEW, NOR PRINT IT. Anyone else can still do so. How unprofessional is that. They are a fly by night company or (organization), and will get what they deserve in the end! Any promising and upcoming business should never use them!

We were so impressed with the fast and efficient manner in which our windows were installed! We had four windows installed and are anxious to get them back to do four more. They even swept the floor and wiped down the counters. I cannot say enough good about this company and their installers - Shawn/Roy.

Fantastic
October 8, 2019

Jason from Ambitech home comfort was great, five stars all the way!. Had him replace my furnace and a/c recently as both went on me. Was recommended from a friend of a friend. He came out right away and took care of us, replacing both units at a great price. My wife and I liked the fact that he returned phones that were made to him( not chasing) and that he was very helpful. Would highly recommend Jason to install anything that is needed. Thanks again.

Great service

I have always had excellent service by this company. In particular, I always ask for Raymond Wong. He is thorough, explains everything so well and cleans up. He is there at the appointed time. Great service.

Homestars takes money from contractors for listing their services which gives them a vested interest in getting listings listed regardless of the track record of a particular contractor. In short, Homestars does nothing to protect the homeowner from unscrupulous contractors and therefore they cannot be trusted. I know, I have been defrauded of 15,000 dollars by a contractor who paid for a listing on Homestars. Steer clear of Trevor Augustyn, owner of Hawthorne kitchen Design.

I ordered 2 windows and one sliding glass doors from Nordik Windows and Doors and it was installed February 12,2021. The installers had to work thru minus 13 weather. The installers name was Harris and with his helper laid down floor coverings and were quick to remove and install one at a time and made every effort to minimize the temperature inside the house from being uncomfortable. Installer Harris answered all questions and cleaned up everything after they had completed the installation.

I had a recent review posted with home stars regarding the bad practices of a local kitchen cabinet manufacturer, the review was removed completely by home stars, my guess is the paying company complained and to avoid losing income, home stars removed the review. Its all about profits with this company. Please don't waste your time writing or reading reviews with this company.

Convertible was recommended to me by a friend for a new furnace and air conditioner quotation. They impressed me with their offer, their rep. Was knowledgeable, his quote was competitive, they installed on the day they promised and their installers were knowledgeable, polite and efficient. I would recommend them to my closest friends.
