Lately I've been very health focused. I am taking care of what I am putting in my body, and doing a lot of research on what's good for MY body. I invited an ND (Naturopathic Doctor) and MD to come chat with me about all sorts of health topics. I learned a LOT from this discussion. ... See MoreSee Less

When I heard that the Jamie Bell Adventure Playground in High Park had been set on fire, I was angry. This playground wasn’t just wood and nails—it was a symbol of community, hard work, and childhood memories.

Contractors - The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly.

I’ve been in this industry a long time, and I’ve seen it all. The good, the bad… and the really ugly.

The Good:
There are a lot of great contractors out there who care about their work. They show up when they say they will, they use the right materials, they pull permits, and they take pride in what they build. These are the people who treat your home like it’s their own. That’s the kind of contractor you want working on your house.

The Bad:
Then you’ve got contractors who cut corners. Maybe they skip steps, rush through the job, or try to save a few bucks by using cheaper materials. The job might look okay at first, but it doesn’t take long before the problems start showing up — cracks, leaks, drafts. That’s when homeowners realize the “deal” they got wasn’t really a deal.

The Ugly:
And unfortunately, there are the real nightmares. Contractors who take deposits and disappear. Work done without permits. I’ve opened up walls on jobs like this and thought, How did anyone think this was okay? Fixing that kind of mess can cost homeowners tens of thousands of dollars.

Here’s the bottom line: a good contractor isn’t just someone who can swing a hammer. They’re licensed, insured, experienced, and willing to stand behind their work.

Do your homework. Check references. Ask questions. If something doesn’t feel right — walk away.
