My Home About Me

For my regular readers (you know who you are), this past summer I spent a while hunting down roofing contrators in the Ottawa area, to get my roof replaced. This usually entailed me having someone see how lousy my roof looked from the street and knocking on my door (which gave me a very strange cross section of quotes, let me tell you). I then phoned a bunch of contractors and found out that thanks to the building boom in Ottawa, no one likes to do 1 roof much (except for the guys that wander around giving out quotes to people's who's roofs look like crap).

I came across a new web site for the folks in Toronto (yes the GTA, or as we call it in Ottawa, The Big Smoke), which will help you get quotes for your home renovation,Toronto Roofing Quotes which looks interesting. It helps you get quotes from up to 5 contractors in the GTA to get a home renovation job done. The site only gets you quotes, you choose which contractor you want to go with (and checking with the Better Business Bureau for your area, is always a good thing to do in this area (I have watched enough Holmes on Homes to know that one)). I can't use the service, because, I doubt these contractors want to come up the 401 to replace my windows (this coming summer's money pit), but if you live in Toronto (Big Smoke, or Toronto the Good) and need renovation, this would be a good site to start your renovation contractor search with.

Now I must put a caveat that I am getting paid to say this by PayPerPost, but I have checked out the web site, and it looks like a good idea, wish we had one in Ottawa.
