Anyone know good siding contractors? Need the outside of my windows fixed up. I think that'd be covered by someone who does siding?

I was thinking about this same thing yesterday. I too acquired my first home recently.
I'm looking for recommendations on getting our furnace service/maintained. I'm thinking of going through Boonstra or Reliance. We're with reliance for our water heater, and they offer a maintenance package that I believe includes furnace for $19.99 extra. Also looking for suggestions on AC maintenance and air duct cleaning. I'll shop around myself and report back what I find as well.
Edit: Would this be something that would require its own sub-reddit? There are so many options and services out there. They would get buried within the thread. If there was another sub for this type of thing. Stickies could be make for each service available.

This is great to have! The wife and I just recently bought a house in Hamilton up on the escarpment. We need to replace our electric water heater to gas and put in an A/C. Projects down the road will include washroom, kitchen and deck renos.
Hi everyone, I'm looking for recommendations for a licensed electrician and plumber in the area. Any help is much appreciated. Thank you.

Dennys Electric(905) 388-8130. We used him for a kitchen and AC install. He was fast, very good, and came in way less than every other quote we got. Very affordable

James Marshall, Source Electric905-981-9209. Excellent work, super nice to deal with, no surprises after quote, communicative, great suggestions. He has rewired 1.5 houses for us. He also has a bro-in-law who is fantastic with HVAC.
Terry M. replied:
I'll second Dennys Electric. They've done small and large jobs for me. Reasonable rates, good work.
We need a small laundry room project completed.Can anyone recommend a good handyman/contractor for the plumbing and electrical work and cabinet installation?
Teresa A. replied:
I was installing an all in one shower, my plumber came and actually talked me out of it by showing me the pros and cons and cost differences between the all in one vs a neoprene base for the space I had. He was absolutely incredible and I ended up saving a serious amount of money by taking the other option I didn't even know existed! On a whole, he was fantastic, efficient and we were thrilled. His name is Dave Fevretto 519-820-6957. Give him a call

Of course, we are leaving in a few hours and the plumbing is acting up. Anyone know a good and honest plumber?
Mark M. replied:
His name is Craig Rogers. 289-775-7473. He is the nicest, hardest working and most reasonable plumber there is. Tell him you know me. I guarantee you will be happy with his work. He's a young guy with brand new computer-based equipment and he really knows his stuff. We were so happy with his work that Linda wanted to adopt him. I told her he was too old and had a couple of kids of his own.:)

Ted Hoyle of Hoyle's Plumbing. Used him for years as have lots of people in this 'hood. He's great. Have a wonderful trip!!!

I second the Craig Rogers suggestion. Michael and I just hired him last month to replace our entire cast iron stack and redo all the upstairs plumbing. Major job. He's awesome. Super professional and loves his work.
