Your explanation makes make the business owners look like dishonest crap, what about if the business resolved the customers concern to the customers satisfaction? Which is what usually happens!

I was referred to them by the City and would like to give them thumbs up.  I have never met such an honest guy.  Roy was very punctual with his timing and exact in his details in connection with our backup drain and his quotation for the work.  He guided us through the camera and informed us as to the block that had happened and was no longer there anymore. His work was very honest too and would like to recommend him for any drain work that needs to be doing.  He also recommended Victor from the Clean Out Drain Services for the new drain that  we required at a very reasonable price.&lt;/p&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">naseem and shamsh alibhai</dc:creator><pubDate>Wed, 16 Sep 2015 13:23:59 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: Best flowers to plant in fall</title><link>http://blog.homestars.com/archives/2015/09/03/best-flowers-to-plant-in-fall/#comment-2255347086</link><description>&lt;p&gt;Just planted two beautiful hydrangeas in the front garden -- apparently this is the perfect time to plant them!

With Cathedral/Vaulted ceilings and minimal attic space IE: inches instead of feet looking isn't an option a good roofer is capable of calculating attic space and ventilation requirements without going in. However spotting mild and such is not possible. We have our top 10 things we recommend every home owner do prior to hiring a roofing contractor and in reality regardless of the trade contractor you are hiring there are several things on our list that you should do. and #6 I believe that Gordon is referring to "fly by nights" and sub standard work results in calling a reputable company to come out and fix a mess someone else made because you are unable to get the original guy on the phone anymore. Gordon is down east Calgary is where we are located but "fly bys" are everywhere. The reason it is wise to get references you are able to speak with previous customers and find out how the company did, it is not if something goes wrong it is how the company reacts and how they dealt with the situation at the time that makes all the difference.&lt;/p&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Robert LaPierre</dc:creator><pubDate>Sat, 14 Mar 2015 19:27:58 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: Our Valentine&amp;#8217;s Day Gift Guide</title><link>http://blog.homestars.com/archives/2015/02/13/our-valentines-day-gift-guide/#comment-1886534723</link><description>&lt;p&gt;nice gift guide.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://familybasementwaterproofing.com" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" title="http://familybasementwaterproofing.com"&gt;site&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Muhammad Riaz</dc:creator><pubDate>Wed, 04 Mar 2015 02:44:04 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: Roofing 101</title><link>http://blog.homestars.com/archives/2014/09/10/roofing-101/#comment-1875116604</link><description>&lt;p&gt;I hadn't heard of the first tip.
