    Duct Cleaning

    Steve did a great job of evaluating and advising on the cleaning job that we needed. Just the basic since it was not too dirty. He made sure to protect our new furnace filter so that while he was cleaning it was not affected. Very satisfied with the work.

    Answer from pro:

    Thanks for writing a review about your experience with us. I will let Steve know that you were happy with his work as well. Thanks again for your business, we look forward to being of service again in a few years. Have a good day. Paul

    Duct Inspection and Cleaning

    I wanted to echo the sentiments throughout these reviews. Paul and Matt came out to my house today to inspect and clean the ducts. I had major renovations last year, and felt it would be good to have peace of mind and clean the ducts, as my wife and son are sensitive to dust. The first thing Paul did was to offer information about his company, the NADCA certification, and to validate all his licenses/certifications. In a shady business like duct cleaning, this was a welcome gesture and I didn't even bother to read the information he was providing. Just offering it to me was enough to convince me. Paul inspected the ducts and informed me that they were quite clean. He explained his findings and showed me as well, so that I could see for myself. He does honest work and charges a fair price. I believe he cleaned my dryer when he didn't have to. I also had some help from Paul to chase away a fraudulent duct cleaning company that called the night before and tried to pose as The Duct Cleaning Specialists and arrange to come to my house a couple of hours before Paul was to come by. Very bizarre turn of events, ... I appreciated Paul's support in dealing with those fraudsters.

    Hey Narin. Thanks for writing a very detailed review about your experience with us. I like to show that we have all the proper credentials and insurance before we do the work, just so you can be assured your dealing with the proper company, because anyone can say anything online, so people need to ask for proof. I am glad you appreciated our honesty and work that we performed. Look forward to having you as a long term customer and being of service again in a few years. All the best to you and your family. Thank you for your business. It is greatly appreciated. Paul

    Duct Cleaning

    I was very pleased with the job Paul and Matt did. They live up to their reviews. Paul actually enjoys his job and it shows. He is also an honest person which is hard to find in this day and age. They were very thorough and very neat. They didn't leave a trace except for a Timmies gift card on my table. Very cool. JR.

    Answer from pro:

    Hey Jason, it was a pleasure meeting you. I truly do enjoy doing my job, whether it be the actual cleaning itself, or dressing up like my duct mascot attending charity events, its a great gig that I am able to have done over the past several years and become one of the more reputable companies. Glad you were happy with our service, and hope you enjoy a coffee and donut on us :) Thanks again for taking the time to write a review about your experience with us, and we look forward to being of service again in a few years. Hope you get over your cold ASAP, all the best. Paul

    Duct cleaning

    Very professional from first phone call to follow up letter thanking me for my business. Their fees were clearly set out and I appreciate that they did not charge me the highest fee as they said my ducts did not require that level of service. They could have easily over charged me as I never would have known the difference. I have already refered them to friends and would be happy to continue to do so.

    Answer from pro:

    Hi Diane, thanks for taking the time to write about your recent experience with us. Appreciate the kind words and most appreciative of any referrals that come our way from you. Thanks again for using us for the project, and look forward to being of service again in a few years. All the best. Paul

    Duct Cleaning Post Renovations

    I had found the Duct Cleaning Specialists from the Homestars website. I called to make an appointment with them after our renovations where complete. Paul Hannah came by and began an inspection of the the work at hand. Paul opened up a variety of different ducts in order to take a closer look. He shocked me when he told me the ducts where clean as a whistle. He could as easily have connected his hoses to the ducts and proceeded with a pretend cleaning job without me knowing. Paul is a true professional who is not only knowledgeable but honest. He was ready to leave my place totally happy with not having made a quick profit. He indeed has the long term relationship with his customers in mind. Finally, Paul was kind enough to drop off some filters for my furnace the next day. As an owner of a small business I love dealing with folks who are service oriented. I would endorse Paul's services to anyone that needs their ducts cleaned and not having to worry about it.

    Answer from pro:

    Akil, I appreciate the kind review you posted. Sometimes renovations can create a huge mess inside the ductwork where it makes sense to have them cleaned out. Fortunately, in your case, the system was very clean, minus a few rocks and other debris that we were able to just vacuum out by hand. Keep me in mind in a few years, we can have a look and possibly just do the return system cleaning at that time. Keep up to date with the changing of your furnace filters, and have the HVAC company attend to the furnace and boilers yearly and you should be in good shape. Thanks again, looking forward to a long term customer relationship. Talk to you soon. Paul

    Duct cleaning

    Paul and his team take the meaning of client service to the level every customer dreams of but only very, very seldom ever gets. Honesty, integrity, friendly, thorough and quality would be some of the words I'd use to describe this team. They behaved just as they said they would on their website and more i.e. took shoes off, did a pre-work inspection, explained everything, turned up on time. The fact that our final bill came in well below the original quote was testament to the fact that they don't do more than you need, and then they also charged us less for the reduced service which is something that also very seldom happens. The worst part about the whole thing is that we don't need our ducts cleaned more often and therefore will miss out on working with such a great team on a more regular basis. You needn't look any further if you want your ducts cleaned - these guys were brilliant.

    Answer from pro:

    This is the kind of review every company dreams of getting. I really appreciate the kind words, glad you were happy with everything about our service. It is a bit sad that we don't get to see you every year and take your money, but we do have a code of ethics we abide by, but definitely we look forward to seeing you again in a couple years. In the meantime, feel free to contact us if you need any filters, or to have the dryer cleaned and or inspected every year. Thanks again for taking the time to write this review, and most importantly, thank you for your business. It was great meeting you, all the best. Paul

    Duct Cleaning with superb service

    My wife and I have initially contacted a duct cleaning services from one of the big retail stores. Huge mistake. Very expensive and I had a hunch of very cheap service. For some odd reason Homestars did not pop into my head even though I already used it for such services as house painting (Euromaster Painting) and home inspection (Classic Home Inspection) both provided us with amazing and professional service, twice. The night before our scheduled appointment with the big retail contractor I looked up duct cleaning services on Homestars and found Paul and his Duct Cleaning Specialists businesses. I called him and hired him that same night. The next morning I cancelled the other service provider. Paul arrived at the appointed time. Was extremely polite and professional. Did everything as he said he would do. Explained in detail future maintenance issues. Left the house very clean. Highly recommend Paul and his company.

    Answer from pro:

    Hey Adam. It was a pleasure meeting you and your family. I am glad that you were happy with our services and that we were able to thoroughly clean the system that was defiantly due for one... I look forward to helping you keep your system maintenance up to date, and should you need anything, feel free to give me a call. Congrats again on your new home, and all the best. Thanks for taking the time to write about your experience with us and keep homestars.com handy when your hiring other types of home contractors. All the best. Paul

    Full Duct Cleaning

    Setup for an appointment to do a full inspection and duct cleaning for a home I recently moved into and a full kitchen renovation. The house was a little dusty and dry. The guys came on time, were friendly and knowledgeable. The guys spent time explaining what was done and even gave advice on the old humidifier I had. Will definitely recommend and/or hire their services again for myself and my real estate clients!

    Answer from pro:

    Hey Tim, thanks for the review. We appreciate you taking the time to write about your experience with us... Glad that we were able to get your system cleaned out after the renovation your home had undergone. Hope the company I referred you to about the humidifier was able to help you out as well. Look forward to being of service to you again in a few years, and appreciate any referrals you swing our way, you know they will be in good hands.. Thanks again for your business, it is greatly appreciated. All the best. Talk soon. Paul

    basic duct cleaning

    Paul was absolutely great to deal with from start to finish. Best way to reach him is by email - he started by giving us a full detailed quote, including information on his certifications. He gave us a few options of when he could do the work (the wait was no more than a week or two), and he showed up when he said he would (actually, he called first to see if he could come a bit earlier than scheduled). Though we had booked his company to do a basic clean, when he arrived he found that our ducts were pretty clean. Instead, he cleaned out the dryer exhaust, replaced the humidifier filter (and showed me how to do it for next time), vacummed out the main air return and opened and looked at the furnace (I wasn't there for this part so I'm not sure if he cleaned in there as well - I think it didn't need it). Instead of charging us the full price for the basic clean, he charged us about 40% LESS than he originally quoted, charging us only for a service call, since he said we really didn't need the full clean of all the ductwork. The invoice came in the mail when he said it would - a day or two after the work was one. Really trustworthy, dependable, honest, and genuinely nice guys to work with. I wish they did more than cleaning ducts, I'd definitely hire them again!

    Answer from pro:

    Hey Natasha. It was a pleasure meeting you. Thanks for taking the time to write a review about your experience with us. Glad you were happy with your decision to hire us for the project. Appreciate the kind words. If we ever expand out of duct cleaning I'll let you know, but you can find some really great contractors in every industry on this site for the most part... Looking forward to a long lasting customer relationship with you. Thanks again. Paul

    Full System Cleaning & Disinfecting

    I would definitely call on Paul & Matt again to do work on my house. They were friendly and personable and really took the time to explain everything that was needed to be done. They even took the time to 'make nice' with my dogs :) They were very thorough, clean and fast! Let's just say my sneezing dogs are no longer sneezing after the ducts were cleaned. Thanks again Paul & Matt!

    Answer from pro:

    Hi Joanna, thanks for taking the time to share about your experience with us. Appreciate the kind words. Glad you and your dogs are enjoying a cleaner house. All the best and congrats again on the new place. If we can be of any other service, feel free to give us a call. Thanks again for your business, it is greatly appreciated. Paul
