Porch, steps, front yard, side walk and patio
We met Victor Fiase at the 2010 Spring Home Show and were immediately impressed by AnyCrete when Victor showed us photographs of the many projects the company has completed. AnyCrete used a process called “stamped concrete” to produce a wonderful flagstone-like effect in your choice of colour(s). We subsequently made an appointment for Victor to visit our home to discuss options, costs and time-frames. At that time, we asked him to draw up a design which we then used as a future discussion vehicle. We also asked him for references, which he willingly provided, and on one Sunday afternoon we visited four homes and met with three of the owners to look at what work had been done and to ask them about their experiences with AnyCrete. They were all very complementary about the company, and as AnyCrete's workmanship was equally impressive, we decided to proceed. Before the actual work began, Domingo (the owner) and Victor visited the house to finalize the design plans (including how water will drain and not cause any problems for us or our neighbours), and again explain to us the process that would be followed. AnyCrete built us a new front porch and steps, a visually pleasing new 'front yard' with flower beds and additional parking room, a walkway between our house and our neighbour, and a patio in the backyard. Regardless of whether or not Domingo was on site (which he frequently was), all his crews were professional, competent, and courteous. Not only did they know how to do their jobs, they minimized any negative impact there may have been to our neighbours, and they were always very pleasant whenever we asked questions. In summary, we are very pleased with the quality of the job and consider it good value. We are also continually amazed at how often passers-by simply stop and look at AnyCrete’s work and, if we're outside, express how impressive it looks. We also had two days when city workers (who were laying new concrete side walk pads along our street) reaffirmed our belief that AnyCrete had done an excellent job. (Note: We had researched laying down interlocking stones and found the cost would have been almost double.) We are very, very pleased with our 'new' front yard, our side driveway, and redesigned back yard as well and enjoyed meeting all the AnyCrete personnel. From our experience with the company, we highly recommend that they be seriously considered as the contractor of choice.
