OTTAWA, April 30, 2014 /CNW/ - MyReno411.ca today launched a giveaway aimed at finding the best home renovation contractors in Canada. The contest, which runs until May 19th, 2014, will feature a random draw of $1000 gift card for reviews written on MyReno411.ca by homeowners of contractors they have used.
"With this contest, we hope to showcase the best renovation firms in Canada, as chosen by homeowners," said Alex Beraskow, founder and CEO of MyReno411.ca. "With 20 per cent of Canadians conducting a home renovation each year, it is vital that they have trustworthy resources to find out who are the best contractors and who should be avoided."
A recent survey conducted by the company highlighted some serious issues in Canada's $70 billion home renovation industry.
"Crowd-sourced reviews are an excellent way for homeowners to find reliable contractors, and avoid unreliable ones. Just over 85 per cent of our survey respondents stated that a website rating home renovation contractors was important in determining who they picked," said Beraskow. "With this contest, we hope to find hidden gems in Canada's home renovation industry and expand our network to become this country's largest database of home renovators."
Every Canadian homeowner who visits MyReno411.ca and writes a review is given one ballot. One $1000 gift card will be randomly drawn for every 1000 reviews. Visit www.MyReno411.ca to learn more.
