Elite Concrete

Elite design did a wonderful job on my backyard patio. The service and product was outstanding. I will recommend them to everyone.
Marcelo and Raffy were a pleasure to deal with.

Thank you Elite Designed Concrete!

Elite Designed Concrete does high-quality work and has excellent customer service. Their price was competitive with other quotes on the job. You won't regret hiring Elite. We recommend them completely.

I was a skeptic when I read all the rave reviews on HomeStar for Elite. I thought to myself, are these reviews for real? I don't believe any contractor would get such reviews especially when we've heard of horror stories from friends and neighbours of their bad experiences with contractors. My husband convinced me to call them and check them out. Boy am I glad I listened to him -- it was an exceptional experience we had and it was a pleasure working with them.

We had contacted Elite around midnight via email and the next morning we received a call from Raffy, scheduled a meeting right away to go over our plans. Measurements and an estimate was given right away. There was no pressure from them. After Raffy gave us an estimate and some referrals, he left us to do our research and when we were ready, we contacted them. While we did our research, checked out their reference, we decided to call other contractors to get some price comparison (even though we had already decided to use Elite), other contractors didn't even bother returning our calls.

We awarded the project to Elite and the project was set to begin by end of July. However, there was so much rain, we received a letter from Elite apologizing for the delay due to bad weather that they are behind schedule. This reassured us that they didn't walk away with our deposit and put us at ease that we can trust them and that they haven't forgotten about us. When the weather improved and they were caught up with their jobs, Marcello came by to talk to us about our plans. He told us straight out what's good and what wasn't and asked very relevant questions. He started to draw outlines of our plan for us to visualize what it would look like and scale of our design from paper to actual size. A couple of days later, they excavated, formed and poured cement. While they were working on our property, they covered and protected our neighbour's side of the house -- not a spec of cement even dripped on our neighbour's interlock walkway and they always left the site nice and tidy. There was a separate team for each part of the job, and they were all polite and courteous. They even fixed up some ugliness left over from our builder without asking for a penny!!!!

When the cement was ready to cut (we chose to do the limestone finish), we couldn't come up with a design/pattern, Marcello came up with a great cut design, we love it and everyone in the neighbourhood loves it.

Final step is for Raffy to come for a final inspection and seal. I must say, the limestone finish is a great look and is not slippery, even my neighbours noticed when they dropped by to see the work -- they were all very impressed and they've not seen anything like it before.

Job well done Elite. It was a pleasure working with you and thank you all for being so accommodating. I would highly recommend Elite to any one as a matter of fact, we've recommended them to a few of our friends who are looking into getting cement work done for their driveways.

The team at Elite Designed Concrete was very knowledgeable, professional, and willing to provide advise as necessary. Their end product is stylish and well done. I would recommend them to anyone.

Elite Designed Concrete has very professional and diligent personal, the quality of the work is outstanding and the crew is very resourceful. I would recommend Elite Designed Concrete for any concrete work.

Elite was able to help me out in short notice to get a new concrete pad poured for a garage I was about to build. There were able to come in quickly to do the estimate, and the crew came the next week and did the job. Very satisfied.

Thank you Raffy and Marcello for a job well done. Despite the countless interruptions with rain delays, they were able to get their workers out there to complete the job and it looks terrific. The workers went about their business never causing any interruptions in the household. They cleaned up after themselves leaving the premises exactly as they were. I would definitely refer this company to anyone who might ask and I may even look to have some more work done by them in the not so distant future. Thanks again to both of you and your crews for a wonderful experience.

Raffy and his guys are a pleasure to work with because they treat their business like professionals, they respect their customers, and they do everything that they can to fulfill their demands. Always on time for meetings, and they always respond to phone or email queries within an hour or two--can't say that about too many companies regardless of the industry.

I am a careful consumer, and like you, I read all of these positive reviews in Homestars and wondered whether they were all for real. I had booked an appointment with another concrete company to get an estimate, and the person we were scheduled to meet ended up being 3 hours late. The next day, we contacted Elite Designed Concrete Inc. and spoke to Raffy. He appeared on time for our scheduled meeting, he gave us design and color ideas to consider, showed us pictures, and then provided us a list of locations where we could view their previous work.

Needless to say, we did hire Elite. The work was just completed today, and we could not be more happy. There are many steps to creating a concrete structure of any type, so it is important that the company you work with fully explains the process so that you can anticipate what is to come. Raffy and Marcello did just that. I can further say that his staff are also very friendly and accommodating. They know what they are doing, so they go about their work with minimal supervision and they are always professional and courteous. The work they do is often under difficult conditions where they are crawling around on their knees for hours, but they never seemed to try to rush things through as they painstakingly, and patiently, perform the small and detail oriented tasks that in the end, is what makes people so admire the finished product.

I would certain engage Raffy and his crew for any future concrete work I may have, and I would also highly recommend Elite Desgined Concrete Inc. to anyone thinking about doing a concrete walkway, driveway, back patio, etc.

Postscript: I was out one morning, and when I returned home, I noticed that Raffy's guys had come by and backfilled soil around my walkway, and spread grass seed on top. Talk about a thorough job!

In spring, we were looking for a contractor to do stamped concrete in our backyard and walkway. After receiving quotes and consultation from various companies, we decided to go with Elite Designed Concrete Inc due to their rave reviews on HomeStars.com. Needless to say, their service and professional was exceptional. We think the team went above and beyond on what they were asked to do. The team was polite, attentive and readily available to answer any concerns or questions that we might have. They acted and resolved any minor concerns immediately. They always cleaned up at the end of day's work. When everything was done, I came home and found all the patio furniture were back in an orderly fashion. The BBQ was back on its usual corner. Clean and feel like home again!! The finish product was done with great quality and the design was beautiful and we received wonderful praises from family, friends and neighbours. Their communication and collaboration made them a "winning" team. All the reviews about the company were true. We couldn't ask for more. We highly recommend Elite Designed Concrete Inc. In fact we are having them come to do our driveway next spring! Can't wait...

Elite Designed Concrete did a wonderful job with our backyard patio, side walkway and front driveway border. We are completely happy with the quality of their work and the professional manner in which they carried it out. They are a first class company and we give them the highest recommendation to others who may be considering their services. Enjoy! Dan & Pat of Markham.
