Bateman Jewellers, Your Trusted Saskatoon Jewellery Expert, Passes a Mystery Shop with Flying Colours

Being a Trusted Business on the Trusted Saskatoon Directory of Excellence comes with a lot of responsibility - no other directory, advertising company, or 'watchdog organization' puts businesses through the ongoing process we do before we promote and endorse them.


Why Choose a Business On the Trusted Saskatoon Directory?

All of the Trusted Saskatoon partners have to pass a unique verification process, they are then annually contracted to uphold our 5 Trusted Guarantees. The partners then become part of a local community of Saskatoon and area businesses that we promote with a strong local marketing campaign. We also have a Trusted MYSTERY SHOPPER PROGRAM. This is where we find and engage with normal everyday people, just like you, who are looking for products and services in Saskatoon and area. We approach individuals we can see are looking for a local business and we ask them to mystery shop Trusted Saskatoon Partners. Those that agree to be Trusted mystery shoppers go about their usual business, except at the end they fill out a report to tell us about the experience. We then share it with you!

"I made an appointment with Cam because I was interested in selling some gold. My mom had a lot of jewellery and I really didn't know what was real and what was fake. I was a little apprehensive about going in because you just never know if they will tell you the truth and give you the money you really should be getting. Cam put all my fears to rest. It was such a great experience that I have already told friends and family to go through their jewellery and take it in. 

I would have NO issues with going back again. In fact, as soon as I got home I was on the hunt for more jewellery kicking around that we don't want. He even taught me a few lessons on what to look for if you are unsure if an item is real or not. I had a lot of fun!"

Trusted Team Brags About Breathe Better Indoor Air Quality Specialists, Trusted Saskatoon Furnace, Duct and Vent Cleaning Experts

The Trusted Saskatoon team is thrilled to brag about our newest Trusted Saskatoon partner. Breathe Better Indoor Air Quality Specialists is a Trusted Saskatoon Furnace, Duct, and Vent Cleaner!


David Dram has been involved in the furnace and duct cleaning industry since 2014, and he is passionate about what he does, especially the benefits he brings to his customers' health and wellness. After gaining knowledge and expertise with a few other companies and learning both the good and bad of the industry, he recognized it was time to go out on his own. He wanted to do things differently, with his vision, purpose, and a goal to provide unparalleled service and professionalism. 


We all know there’s always "a guy or gal that can do it cheaper," but we all know when you compromise on price, you generally compromise on quality. So David wanted to change that perception and offer honest and friendly service, great quality work, all at a fair price for Saskatoon consumers.



Breathe Better Indoor Air Quality is truly a family-owned and operated business. In addition to running a growing and successful business, David has four children! 


David is also the Commanding Officer of the #300 Fisher Royal Canadian Air Cadet Squadron in Biggar. He has been involved as a CAF officer for 10 years, taking command last October. Although David was born in Flin Flon, Saskatoon has been his home since childhood, and he strives every day to make a difference in indoor air quality and personal health for residents and businesses of Saskatoon and the surrounding area.


We are so fortunate to have David raising a family and growing their business in Saskatoon, and we are happy about their decision to join our Trusted Saskatoon community. Now, our team will do what WE are most passionate about… Promoting and spreading the word about this locally owned family business and sharing the news about the honesty, integrity, and long-term approach to business they are committed to! You can definitely trust them for your residential or commercial projects, from furnace, duct, and vent cleaning, they clean old homes, businesses and new builds, they are the professionals to call in an emergency or just because it’s time to clean your home thoroughly. 



When we were speaking to some of Breathe Better’s customers, as part of our Unique Trusted verification process, we continually heard the same positive comments about David, and the feedback was nothing short of excellent. Read some of the real personal testimonials from recent customers below.  

“We are extremely satisfied with the services provided by David with Breathe Better Indoor Air Quality. David was flexible, reasonably priced, organized, kind, and a pleasure to be around. Very satisfied with the work done. I would highly recommend his business.” - C.S., Saskatoon


I found David through Facebook as I always love to support the smaller, local guy. I’ve had ducts cleaned before and you never meet the owner and are always up-charged. David was super transparent with price and service and very professional. I would definitely have Breathe Better Indoor Air Quality Specialists back again and will suggest him to family and friends looking for someone to clean their furnace, ducts and vents!” - Mitch Kurylyk, Saskatoon 


Contact David at Breathe Better IAQ for honest, great quality work! They are very knowledgeable and will offer you a free consultation!

JOB Heating & Air Conditioning Trusted Saskatoon Furnace, A/C and Plumbing Pros For 10 Years

This series of articles highlights the businesses that have been with TrustedSaskatoon.com  since we launched in 2011. We want to thank them for trusting our team and recognize each of them individually for providing 10 years of OUTSTANDING service to the public of Saskatoon and surrounding areas! In this article, we celebrate and recognize Jeff and the team at JOB Heating & Air Conditioning—Trusted Saskatoon Furnace, A/C, and Saskatoon Plumbing Pros!

We are pleased to celebrate JOB Heating & Air Conditioning, a Trusted Saskatoon partner for over 10 years!

The JOB Heating & Air Conditioning team is well known for their Ssakatoon air conditioning, furnace, and plumbing work for residential and commercial customers. Jeff Bolton worked up from employee to partner, and he is now the trusted face of the company, which currently has six employees. Jeff has been in the HVAC and Plumbing industry since 1989. With his many years of plumbing and heating expertise, he has a clear vision and commitment to always putting the customer and his community first. Spending many years as a volunteer serving the community's greatest needs has given Jeff the right balance of drive and determination to do the right thing. He has a big heart and is dedicated to always putting the customer's needs first. He prides himself on JOB’s record of integrity, honesty, and service, and he takes being trusted very seriously.

As Jeff would say…”I do what I say and say what I do!”

“One of Jeff’s biggest challenges over the years has been competing with kijiji’s plumbers and other HVAC companies that don’t abide by reasonable industry standards or even properly insure or register their businesses. Companies that are often run by folks that over promise and under deliver, they often undercut on price to get the job and end up not delivering on the service. Many try to make it up by high pressure sales on work or products the customer may not need. This is the total opposite of how Jeff and his team operates and as someone who was ripped off by an unscrupulous company myself I am wary. I am happy to say that I have used JOB personally several times over the last 10 years and the experience is always stellar."
- Sara Wheelwright, Trusted Founder

The JOB Heating & Air team also prides itself on being recognized as a leader in water heating system technology for new in-floor and boiler installations in Saskatoon. Jeff is passionate about what he does, and his enthusiasm is infectious. What you see truly is what you get with Jeff. He is authentic and cares deeply about always leaving a good impression with clients. It is obvious that he values and supports his team. That’s why he wanted to create a business where people love to work! 

When asked what drives Jeff, he explains his mantra around the shop.

 “We do every job as if it was our own mother’s house. We treat each other (my coworkers) with respect and dignity and that just becomes the way that we treat everyone, especially our customers.” 

A great example of why JOB Heating & Air Conditioning has been a 10-year Trusted Saskatoon Partner.

Remember JOB... because they always strive to live up to their tagline... "Your Comfort is Our Concern!"

Thank you for TRUSTING us, Jeff, and your team and for providing 10 years of AMAZING service to the people of Saskatoon! In the last 10 years, the job has been re-checked, re-verified, and mystery-shopped, and each time, it passes with flying colours.

We are pleased to shine the light on Palliser / EQ3 who have been a TRUSTED Saskatoon Furniture store for over 10 years!

Did you know that Palliser Rooms / EQ3 is an independent family-owned furniture store that has been operating in Saskatoon since 2002. Brian and Judy Bird first owned and ran the local furniture store for about a decade and a half, then when the opportunity arose their daughter Allison, and son-in-law Tristan Rawlings, were able to purchase, and now manage the family business. There’s not a day that goes by where you won’t see Tristan at the store making sure every aspect of their operation runs smoothly. From the back office and computer systems to warehouse and shipping he makes sure customer needs and customer satisfaction are his first priority. 

Palliser Rooms / EQ3 specializes in offering a generous selection of contemporary furnishings and a personalized service that is forward-thinking and client-focused. The vast majority of their product lines are Made in Canada, which is not the case with most furniture stores, and this means a lot to their loyal customers. As you walk into their beautiful store it kind of takes your breath away, your eyes get wider, and you’re like a kid in a candy store as you can’t wait to start shopping and trying out the furniture for size, colour, feel and fit. You can’t get that experience online, that’s for sure!

Tristan and his dedicated team of fifteen describe their philosophy as one that "embodies' an 'all about choices' ideology. Whether you have an inherent 'do-it-yourself’ personality or find decoration is an overwhelming process, their staff is committed to providing valuable information, inspiration, and the necessary tools to make your project, large or small, a success. For them you can really put your feet up and get comfortable because they know shopping for furniture is a personal experience and IT’S ALL ABOUT YOU, the customer! There’s definitely no pressure at Palliser Rooms / EQ3, as they welcome you to take five minutes or come back five times to make your decision.

“Trusted is extremely happy to promote Palliser / EQ3. I have been impressed with the integrity of the company from the very beginning. Tristan truly cares about his staff, their  customers and the reputation of the company. They bend over backwards to provide the best experience and I have always been very happy with the standard of the product and the level of customer service when I have shopped there with my family."
- Sara Wheelwright, Trusted Founder 

Come and visit their spacious showroom which is thematically focused, visually stunning, very intimate and inviting! You will not be disappointed... and you will be excited to tell all your family and friends. I recently talked to a new family that just moved to Saskatoon and one of their first stops after buying their new home was to head to Palliser Rooms / EQ3 and furnish their home with the best product and selection this city has to offer! They were so pleased with the amazing customer service, the huge selection, and the great prices.

Thank you for TRUSTING us, and thank you for providing 10 years of AMAZING service to the people of Saskatoon! In the last 10 years, Palliser Rooms / EQ3 has been re-checked, re-verified and mystery shopped, and has passed each and every time. They continue to be one of the best furniture stores in Saskatoon and area and have always upheld our 5 TRUSTED GUARANTEES of service for their 10 YEARS as Trusted Saskatoon Partners.
