We have known and worked with Linda for many years. We are truly blessed to have known her. She helped us during the years with great mentorship. She has been a great referral partner to us. We have dealt with many of her clients that she have sent us. Her clients are all super high quality. Plus all her clients are raving fans of her work.
We have sent people to Linda which told us that she is not only the best at what she dose, but she dose it with such class, and love for people. She is not the cheapest out there, but her work is the best in Canada. She delivers high quality service. If I could give more stars I would. Her company Out of Chaos are double 5 stars in my eyes.
I highly recommend Linda Chu and her company.
