An assisted review is collected by a contractor on behalf of the homeowner after their work is completed. The homeowner must confirm the text of the review and may make any changes she or he deems appropriate. The homeowner then assigns the contractor a review score out of 10. Assisted reviews receive the same scrutiny as other reviews and must follow our review guidelines.
In the summer of 2015 I contacted several companies for stamped concrete in my backyard and side walkways. PC Mississauga was on par with several competitors as far as price, and I found the estimator very knowledgeable and open about the process. For future customers, I would suggest having a strong understanding of the square footage quoted, and how the finished area will look as far as coverage, because adding square footage beyond the initial quoted price can quickly increase costs.
Notwithstanding the above, once the contract was signed and the work began, the whole process was of the utmost professionalism. The design was well handled with detailed CAD drawings, and the office was in touch regularly on progress of the work (working around rain delays, etc).
As far as the work crews, they were always punctual and willing to take the time to explain what they were doing (and why other companies don’t bother to do certain things). I found this valuable as it reinforced my initial decision to go with PC Mississauga.
The only regret I have (and this was likely outside their control), is that a crack appeared in my walkway the day after the concrete was poured, and while still visible, the guys came back immediately to patch and reseal it.
There was also some delay in scheduling the start of the job due to the sheer number of projects they had on the go, which I suppose is a good thing (they’re in demand!).
Overall this was a positive experience and I firmly believe my property value increased as a result of the work.
All the best.
