I will be doing my PDI in just under a month ... it really is moving so fast now. If I hear about a good price on movers, I'll post. Not sure if anyone has considered installing an A/C, but there is a Group Buy for our community and I've signed up. For Blinds, I am going with Star Custom Shutters in Mississauga, they are very reasonable and I was told a number of homes on Jelinik had used them or will be using them for the Jelinik homes completed over the past couple of months.

I heard some good review about their wood shutter too. Maybe we can have another group buy? :-)

Could you ask them if they can provide a group buy discount? :-)

A group buy is a good idea! ... Do they have good vinyl shutters?

I've already set up my contract with them. Yes they have vinyl shutters, which are cheaper than wood. If you call them mention that Greg on Wettlaufer Terrace closing in May referred you and you'll probably get a better discount!

Call them and give them your address and they'll go and measure the windows. They'll then call to set up an appointment to discuss options!

Keep me posted on how it goes!

Thanks for adding the contact information Greg. Yes, if you say that someone referred you, you can get a discount (I am Marko on Lot 8 on Jelinik). They make both wood and vinyl as Greg noted, but over 90% of their orders are for wood because they lacquer the wood, stronger than oil paint and guarantee it for 25 years. Our friends in Milton recommended them and they love their shutters. I have already booked my order so the only group buy I will plug here is the A/C one in the Group Buy section which is with fourseasons and they use American Standard (made by Trane). The latest post shows Consumers Report showing the American Standard A/C has the lowest repair rates which is important for me since I had to replace the 2 year old A/C I had on my current home (which I replaced with Trane and have had no issues with it for 10 years).

BTW, is anyone thinking of hiring someone to clean their homes and also the ducts prior to moving in? I heard cleaning the ducts is highly recommended in order to not damage the furnace and to run the furnace prior to installing a third party A/C to check that the furnace is in fact working.

Any recommendations for home cleaners and duct cleaners?

Mattamy completed a full duct cleaning on my first home before I took possession. Can anyone confirm they still offer this as a service.

Greg and Marko, were you able to get a quote without exact measurements? Or did you get your quote once your windows were installed? Also, what is your average price per window or window pane?

Windows will have to be in. Call them and give them your address/lot #. They are always in the area and will pop in to take measurements when the windows are in. Every model is different but for example, Im doing 20 windows {Primrose C} (no french door/patio door) and its around $5000 for wood - 25 year warranty

Roger/Mandy

Kitchen cabinets should be stained at the manufacturer for color consistency. If they are that off I would complain. Will let you know once ours are installed.
