Not everything finds its way onto www.askaround.ca. I call myself the Editor because recommendations are checked before they are posted on the site, and it's amazng what shows up. Some are fraudulent (see Joe the Plumber below) and just occasionally a member has become so frustrated that we need the online 'bleep' button.
Then there are the stories that, sadly, can never be published in their full glory: the roofers who took working up 'high' more literally than expected; the really excellent snow shoveler who could not come back the following year because he was in prison for murder; and the sub-contractor who digs immaculate 6'x2'x6' rectangular holes to access pipework. On a more serious note there is also the builder whose clients are feeling intimidated. Its amazing what you hear when you Ask Around.
If you are having trouble finding the right words for a recommendation just ask for help. There is usually a way to give an honest but unidentifiable report on a job . . . and sometimes I even fix spelling.
