    Duct Cleaning

    We recently moved into our first home after we completed a full main floor renovation. I found the Duct Cleaning Specialists on Homestars website. Steve came to do the cleaning. Upon assessment, he immediately noticed an obvious issue with our furnace (there was a big hole cut in it and just taped – and the tape had come off and thus wasting energy and cool air! To my embarrassment, I never even knew the difference! He fixed the hole properly and when it came time to leave, would not let me pay for the extra service– Steve, thank you!) He was very informative – taught me a lot. I’ve never had experience with duct cleaning before to compare, but I can tell you that Steve’s left me with confident with this company’s services and I will be using them again in the future and recommending them to other people as well. Thanks guys!

    Complete duct cleaning, and then some!

    I recently bought a "new" old house which was in dire need of duct cleaning, especially after some renovations! As chance would have it, I came across a "Groupon" for The Duct Cleaning Specialists. Not only did I get a great price, but I also had an extremely friendly, polite and professional duct technician named "Steve" attend my home and do a very thorough job! Although I didn't get the "lemon and thyme" scent throughout my home, I DID have a very positive lasting impression ! I would definitely recommend The Duct Cleaning Specialists!

    Answer from pro:

    Hi Lisa. Thank you for your review. I'll be sure to let Steve know you were happy with his work. Just wondering if you didn't want the Disinfectant, or if Steve just forgot to perform the task. If thats the case, we can always shoot back and get that done for you. Just give me a call and we can set that up. Otherwise, thanks again for your business, and look forward to being of service again in the future. Paul

    Dryer Duct Repair, Cleaning & Protection

    Dryer wasn't working well...We were told it was a blocked duct. Paul and the guys from Duct Cleaning Specialist came out, found a massive bird nest, fixed it, cleaned it, put a cover on, etc....Service couldn't have been better. Fast, Clean, Courteous, Efficient and Friendly. I would refer this service to anyone!

    Answer from pro:

    Hey Josh. Hope all is well. Thanks for taking the time to write a review about your experience with us. Glad we were able to get the birds nest out and exhaust clean so your dryer can work more efficient. If there is anything else you need down the road, feel free to contact us. PS. If I come out of retirement from hockey, can you get me a decent contract?? LOL. All the best. Paul

    Duct Cleaning

    The guys seemed knowledgeable and friendly. Showed up a bit late but ensured that the work was done properly and did not cut any corners. I found their price to be very reasonable as well. My house turned out to have more vents than an average house but they honored their initial quote. Very satisfied with their work and will definitely use them again! MJ

    Answer from pro:

    Hi Mohammed, thanks for the review. Glad you were happy with our service. We do try and keep our schedule running smoothly, but its not always the case, so some appointments we run late to, which we always inform the customer of this. As a result, the additional vent costs were waived for any inconvenience it might have caused you, so glad you were happy with that. If there is anything else we can be of service or help with, please give me a call. Thanks again for your business, it is greatly appreciated. Paul

    The Duct Cleaning Specialists

    We had our ducts cleaned after having some renovations done in the house. When I called The Duct Cleaning Specialists and spoke with Paul, I was very impressed with his honesty and no nonsense approach. Paul did not try to convince me to use his company, but simply told me what he has to offer. Other companies I was in touch with did not give me the same good feeling.The person who came to do the work was Steve. Steve called before he came to the house to say he was on his way, was punctual, very polite and very organized. He did a good job and answered all our questions. Steve checked our dryer and said it did not need cleaning, as oppose just clean it for extra fee. My husband and I were very pleased with Steve's work and The Duct Cleaning Specialists company. Will definitely recommend their service to others and call them in the future.

    Answer from pro:

    Hi Nela, thanks for taking the time to write about your experience with us. I try and educate people on what duct cleaning is, what should be done, and what kind of costs to expect. Some people use our service, some don't, but as long as they are aware of what to expect, hopefully these other companies (certified or not) provide the same proper and honest job we try to do. I am glad that you are another satisfied customer and were happy with the work Steve performed. Thanks again for the kind words and for having us in your home to get the work completed. Your business is greatly appreciated and we look forward to being of service again when needed. Have a wonderful summer. If there is anything else we can be of service or help with, feel free to contact me. All the best, Paul

    Duct Cleaning

    Got this Company recommended by another Company that repaired my AC. I am extremelly happy with their work. Paul showed up on time on the day scheduled, he even called me two days before to remain me about our apointment. He took the time to explained me the process and answer all my questions. When he checked my Furnace, he realized there was not need of a whole duct cleaning and he recommended instead just a maintenance, his honesty saved me some bucks. Based on my experience he will always tell you the true and will not try to rip you off. He performed a pretty good job cleaning all my vents and specially my dryer. I am even considering getting an annual inspection/maintenance of my ducts done with them. Thank you Paul.... keep the good job.

    Answer from pro:

    Hi Sorel, it was a pleasure meeting you. Thanks for taking the time to write about your experience with us. Although your system didn't actually need to be cleaned, as there was only a bit of minor dust that the air filter will eventually capture, the furnace & A/C coil could use yearly Maintenance. Glad you were happy with our service & more importantly our honesty. When the time comes for the system to be cleaned, keep us in mind, in the meantime, lets keep on top of the maintenance for the system. Thanks again for your business and glad to know that other companies that have seen our work and know how we operate have been recommending us as well. All the best. Paul

    Duct Cleaning

    Made my choice to go with the company after very detailed explanation of the duct cleaning service they provide. Other company estimated their service time to be about an hour and half, The duct cleaning specialists estimated 3 hours. They arrived at promised time, the service was smooth, and very professional. Will definitely use them again, and recoomand to my friends.

    Answer from pro:

    Hi Michelle, thanks for taking the time to write a review for us. Knowing what air duct cleaning is and how it is done (properly) is important, especially when comparing prices, you want to know whats included in that price (especially if you've received a very low rate) For a job that takes about 3 hours to be done properly, to be accomplished in an hour or so, what kind of work is going to be done.. People usually just compare prices, and unfortunately thats not always the best way to compare. None the less, we appreciate you deciding to use our service and glad you were happy with our work and results. Appreciate your business and look forward to serving you again. If we can be of any service / help in the meantime, feel free to give me a call. Thanks again. Paul

    Duct Cleaning

    I found Duct Cleaning Specialists right here at Home Star after a basement Reno project. After calling 3-4 differ company, Paul give me a feeling he know what he is talking about and the price is reasonable. So I booked the appointment. They arrive and start right away. Took the time to explain to me how thing works. Explain to me how they do the cleaning. It took them 2 hours to finish. Everything look good. Just one minor thing, after they left, I notice the metal plate they put on after cleaning was hole in place by tape only, no screws. So hopefully they won't fall off. This is the only reason i give a 4 start instead of 5. Overall, I am very happy about their service. Will use them again when I need to do another duct cleaning in couple years. Update: Receive a call from Pual yesterday after posting the review. He explain why the panel is taped instead of screw in. But since in my case there is enough room to put screw in, he send someone back today to secure the panel with screw. This is the best part of their service. They really doing everything they could to make sure sir customer happy. Thanks Pual.

    Answer from pro:

    Hey Wilson, thanks for taking the time to write a review. Glad you were happy with our work. As far as the panel goes, that should have been screwed in, so maybe the guys just happened to miss that and just tape it thinking they put the screws in. We apply a sealant on the inside of the panel to hold it in place before we screw in, so that was just an honest mistake. As per my phone conversation with you just a few minutes ago, either myself or one of the guys will swing by this evening to tap a few screws in the panel, not a problem. Thanks again for your business and most importantly the feedback, it is greatly appreciated. All the best. Paul *****UPDATE***** The panel that was missing a screw was actually the panel for the A/C Coil. Having these foil taped securely is usually what we do, as in some cases you do not want to screw in as the coil can be punctured as they are installed very tightly to the ductwork in some cases. For this instance, we were able to put a couple screws in as an added precaution but the sealant on the inside of the panel and foil tape on the exterior will hold it in place. This touch up has been rectified today (August 3rd) and hopefully Wilson can post an update with how we handled the situation. Feedback is great and how companies deal with the "problems" is the most important part. Thanks again Wilson for writing the review, we look forward to having you as a long term customer. If we can be of any help, feel free to contact me. Have a good long weekend. Paul

    Duct Cleaning

    WOW! I have rarely experienced this level of customer service and care. After they completed the most effective and thorough duct cleaning I have ever had, I told them to call me in 3-4 years for the next one. They were completely honest and are the first and only duct cleaning company that told me it was not necessary to have them cleaned that often and not to have it done for another 5-6 years. They sent me a lovely letter with a $10 cheque in it! Apparently their rates went down shortly after my job was competed. WOW!!! I have already recommended them to 2 people.

    Answer from pro:

    Hi Willa, appreciate the time you took to write the review about your experience with us. Glad you were happy with our service and look forward to being of it again when the time is required. Also, we try and keep our business honest, so with just having our price changed a few days after, its only common courtesy to give you back the refund, or keep the credit for a future job / service with us. Thats how we operate and glad you were amazed by that, to say the least. If we can be of any service / or help in the future, please feel free to contact me. All the best, Paul

    Duct Cleaning

    They cleaned our vents and they did and fantastic job. Although I found that price was higher than other companies its worth paying extra comparing how good they clean your house. I fully recommend them!

    Answer from pro:

    Thanks for doing the review. The old saying goes, you get what you pay for. The sad thing is, the $99 quote people get, why does it always end up costing well over $500.. Whats even worse is the job is not even done properly, you paid cash, no receipt, so good luck trying to get the company back in to rectify the problem. Glad you were happy with your decision to have us in for the cleaning project. Look forward to having you as a long term customer, better yet, feel free to try out those $99 coupon guys, and you can see why we charge what we do, and why you would never consider having anyone thats not certified do the work. In the meantime, thanks again for your business, it is greatly appreciated. If we can be of any service / help in the future, please feel free to contact me. All the best, and enjoy the long weekend. Paul
