What recent reviews say

Ahmad, Dave, Peter, and Jad earn consistent praise for professionalism and quality restoration work, with strong communication on completed projects. Multiple families describe respectful treatment and expert fence and water damage restoration. However, several reviewers report critical failures: two-month delays with no contact, belongings discarded or damaged, dehumidifiers delayed while a child faced mold-induced asthma risk, and quote responses taking seven weeks. The pattern suggests good crews but unreliable project coordination and accountability on complex, insurance-driven water and disaster jobs.

Recent shift: Recent 1-star review (1 week ago) describes a two-month no-show on water restoration with health and property consequences; 9 months prior, similar damage complaint about discarded belongings. Suggests ongoing coordination issues on residential water/disaster jobs despite earlier positive fence and commercial reviews.

Praised for
  • professional, experienced crews
  • responsive project managers
  • thorough work quality
  • respectful of belongings and homes
Watch-outs
  • no-shows and no communication
  • unreliable timelines
  • mishandled belongings during cleanup
  • unfinished repairs and follow-up failures

Best for: property managers and commercial clients needing fast emergency mobilization with experienced crews
Think twice if: you expect close project oversight, rapid communication updates, or have high-value personal items; multiple reviews cite weeks-long delays, missed callbacks, and belongings discarded or damaged

Strengths

  • field crews praised for skill and respectful work
  • project managers (Ahmad, Chris, April) stand out for daily updates
  • quick response and mobilization on emergency calls

Worth knowing

  • Ahmad and crew noted for daily updates and treating jobs as their own (fence restoration)
  • Chris (Project Manager) and Jay (Scheduling Administrator) named as supportive contacts
  • April N (Project Manager) praised for fast response times
  • One family reports dehumidifiers took 4 days during mold exposure; they removed and bleached flooring themselves
  • One review: belongings left on couches, items randomly scattered and broken; father's ashes discarded
  • Another: flood quote took 7 weeks; project manager promises broken on communication

Common questions

What do I do if my child has mold-induced asthma after water damage?
One reviewer reported waiting 4 days for dehumidifiers to arrive after a water event, forcing them to remove and bleach flooring themselves to protect their daughter. Fast equipment deployment is critical; confirm arrival time in writing before signing.
Will On Side remove my personal items if they are wet?
Reviewers describe mixed outcomes. One family's dry belongings and a father's ashes were discarded without consultation. Another praised respectful sorting and salvage of items. Ask for a walk-through and written inventory of what will be removed, cleaned, or discarded.
How often will I hear from the project manager?
Ahmad and Chris are noted for daily updates on fence and restoration projects. However, multiple water damage customers report weeks without contact, missed callback promises, and seven-week delays on quotes. Request a communication schedule in the contract.

Most customers praise fast bin delivery and pickup with fair pricing and responsive staff. One complaint stands out: a driver damaged a neighbour's gutter; when challenged with camera footage, the company denied responsibility and dismissed the damage.

On their best days, staff show genuine care: one driver helped an elderly customer who had fallen, another crew worked heavy furniture in rain near Lasalle schools. But the business has split sharply on pricing and access. Recent reviews anger at a $38 minimum (up from $18), missing entry signage, and refusal to serve customers near closing. Ongoing frustrations centre on residential pickup consistency-bins left blocking driveways week after week, partial collections left on sidewalks, and waits exceeding 30 minutes when their own trucks cut the line.
