Elite Concrete

I found out about Elite Designed Concrete from my neighbour who hired them to build their project a couple of years ago. I called Raffy to visit my house and provide a quote and some design ideas. I immediately felt comfortable with Raffy and decided to hire Elite to build my project also. They were very busy so I had to wait a few months for them to start. Marcelo came before the work started to help design my project and provide more details. He also cooridnated the the different crews. Once the concrete work was completed and sealed, Raffy arranged to have the driveway paved with asphalt in between the new stamped concrete curbs. They even installed topsoil around the new concrete when they were done. I was impressed with how organized Elite was in making sure the work progressed well. My neighbours regularily tell me how wonderful the work looks and I am very happy with the quality and service also. I have already them recommended them to friends.

We chose Elite Designed Concrete to build a new driveway and courtyard area for one of our clients. We had seen their previous work and extensive list of references and were confident that they would be using the best materials and techniques on our project. They were very professional when addressing our clients. This courtesy reflected very well on us. We will definitely use Elite again should we require concrete work to be done on future projects.

Last summer when I decided I really needed a 28x16 concrete pad across the back of the house I did my usual routine; contact the top five contractors on Home Stars, advise them I was seeking quotes from another four contractors, meet with them, and then let them provide their quote. Only three of the five responded and Raffy was the first of the three. We scheduled an appointment for a week down the road. Elite Designed Concrete were tops on Home Stars rating last summer so I was glad to schedule the other two contractor before meeting with Raffy. I figured they might offer the best service, but at the highest cost due to their excellent reputation. Not only was Raffy professional, confident and courteous, but I was pleasantly surprised he offered the best price… actually 10% lower than the runner up contractor.

Before work started, Marcelo came by to take exact measurements and plan out the logistics. Work began on the date scheduled. The crew showed up nice and early getting to work without delay. Every crew member was professional, respectful of our property and very friendly. I happened to be moving my heat pump that day (unrelated project) and two of the guys ran over to help as soon as they saw the HVAC tech and me moving it. The project actually finished a day early and looked great. I also received a courtesy call from Marcelo a few weeks later just to ensure I was happy with the result and no issues had come up.

It’s been a few months now and the concrete pad has held up great and despite being a basic brush finish (my choice) it has received many compliments from friends and neighbours. My only regret is not having gone with Elite Designed Concrete earlier. I’m pretty faithful to my system of having the top five Home Stars contractors bid on all my projects but any future concrete work will just go straight to Elite Designed Concrete.

Elite Designed Concrete was referred by a close friend. I found them to be courteous, punctual and knowledgeable. Their workmanship was better than I expected and their price was competitive with other quotes I received. I would definitely refer them to others.

It was time for us to have the front of our home renovated and redone. We contacted various contractors and found Elite Designed Concrete on Homestars. We called them and within a day Raffy called back to arrange for an appointment to visit our home to provide a quote. Elite's quote was not the lowest but my wife and felt the most comfortable with him so we scheduled our project in and they started after a few months. Marcelo visited next to confirm the details of the job and to gather more information. Their staff started early in the morning and worked long hours to get our project built. There were a lot of rain delays due to Hurricane Sandy but they managed to get right back on schedule once the rain finally stopped. Marcelo kept us always updated. The end result is amazing. We are very happy by how their work totally transformed the front of our house.

We have used Elite Concrete in the past. This is the reason to call again. Our expereance with elite has been very good. They do what they say. They are quick, clean and very respectfull of the
landscalping ,driveways etc. Rafi and his crew were great to work with. All we had was a hand shake and all work was completed in a short time. I would not hesitate to recomend them to any one looking for quality workmanship. They are not the cheapest. But in my opinion they are the best. Cheers Bert @ Cando Renovations.

Our experience with Elite Designed Concrete was nothing short of wonderful from start to finish. Both Raffy and Marcelo, along with their entire crew, were reliable, courteous, and skillful in all that they did. We were consistently updated with the work schedule, as work would depend on weather, drying time for the concrete, etc. and they were always true to their word. If we had any questions or concerns, both Raffy and Marcelo would answer our calls or emails quickly and respectfully.

The concrete work they did for us is AMAZING! Elite takes great pride in their work and it definitely shows. We came to them with a sketch of what we thought we wanted and they made it even better! Everyone who has seen our steps think they look fantastic, including a few Landscape Architects that have come by to discuss how to finish the project (they have even asked for Elite's name/contact after seeing the work!).

The work was finished last week, and today we got a follow up call from Marcelo, just to make sure we were happy with the work and that there weren't any loose ends that needed tying up. We actually had a few questions and he was very helpful, once again.

Thank you Raffy, Marcelo, and everyone else who worked on our porch and steps. We thank you for your superb customer service, your patience, and an overall job well done. We are looking forward to working with you again on phase two of our project!

Raffy and Marcello from Elite Designed Concrete are completely professional and provide a very specialized, high quality product in a timely manner. They have an understanding of aesthetics and the appearance of the project is greater because of their work. They are also very easy to contact and provide great service.

We were referred to Elite Designed Concrete by our neighbours who had hired them years ago to install a walkway and patio. Their price was competitive considering our project was a rather small job. The colour and pattern of the patio extention they installed came extremely close to matching our existing patio and the quality was even better. Marcelo and Raffy were great to work with and we intend to do more work with Elite again in the future.

The first improvement we decided to do on our new home was landscaping and driveway / walkway. I always make my decision after speaking to three contractors. From our first meeting I thought of Raffi as a "low pressure" type of salesman who knew his product well and was able to make great suggestions from his wealth of experience. The proposal arrived promptly and was extremely competitive with the others. Our decision to hire Elite was made immediately. The work crew arrived as promised and continued to work as per the scheduled time table. The individuals worked hard and knew what they were doing and the end result was a fabulous driveway, walkway and planter box. Just as important as doing a great job the follow up was excellent and, to this day, Raffi re-seals the driveway annually upon my request. We have referred Elite to many friends who have ultimately used their expertise and experience to enhance the beauty of their own homes.
