It depends how it got ruined and it to what extent. I got a countertop in one of my properties where over time, the edge just bulged up due to poor quality. In that case, I need to replace at my cost. There are also normal wear and tear like small insignificant scratches that should be...

Thanks Denis. Do you know a good contractor/handyguy to do that job? How much did it cost for you? Nathalie

We have an older home for a rental and the bath area is surrounded by tiles. The tub is in good condition, but we saw some cracks in the grout in between tiles. The walls behind seem to be ok but the tenant told me the moisture may have been sipping through it for so many years in may eventually...

Thanks for the replies. We got the matter finally taken cared of. They admitted mistake and are refunding us the money. It certainly helps to know what should and shouldn't be done and when people are just there to make more sales... Cheers everyone!

I called Action Auger the other day to unclog a drain from a suite which we never ever had plumbing problems with before. Unfortunately, the guy who painted the suite poured paint on the kitchen sink and clogged it up. He snaked it but the clog cam back again a month later. So we called...

Hi, I would like to ask for referrals for a good window company in Edmonton. I would like to change or repair windows in an 11-unit apartment building. If anyone knows of any contractor or company with good prices, and service, please let me know. Thanks! Nathalie

I highly recommend The Furnace Company. I have been dealing with them for sometime and their prices and services are very good. I got referral to them from an ATCO guy that came to service a furnace in my rental. Since ATCO guys deal with many furnace companies I figured he would know which one...

About throwing furniture out...the same tenant who had the bug infestation threw his mattress and sofa by our dumpster. When he called to tell me this, I told him he should have wrapped it first and called a hauler to get it out. As soon as he hanged up the phone and went to check the dumpster...
