Green Side Up Contracting

Jay and Zach are most professional contractors I ever had the opportunity to work with.

I needed to replace two decks, a fence and a retaining wall and after getting quotes from 3 contractors, I decided to go with Jay and Zach for the work.

I choose Jay and Zach because their customer service is outstanding, they listen to you and are able to provide a solution based on your budget and needs without sacrificing quality and style.

They completed all the work in only two weeks and let the work area spotless and on top of that Zach’s craftsmanship is just exceptional, a true artist.

I highly recommend Green Side up without hesitation, I’m looking forward to working with Jay in our next project!

I first used them for fence replacement on one side of my backyard 2 years ago. Based on that job, they were the only ones I contacted when the other side needed to be done. They again lived up to my high expectations ... same excellent communication from start to finish by owner Jay and his crew lead Daniel, they showed up when they said they would, took care not to damage the plantings in the garden, did great quality work, and cleaned up properly. What more can you ask for?

Zach was very diligent in completing our project. He kept us updated before and after work completion every day. Any changes we requested were well received and completed to our satisfaction. He made good suggestions throughout the project to which we agreed.
Zach is a very positive person and a very able worker/ tradesman. Clean up was neatly performed everyday and the bathroom ( the only one in the house) was made available for our use throughout the project. We would definitely use Green Side Up for future renovations.

Jay, Zach and the team did an amazing job helping me build my dream outdoor living space. Not only did they come through with a tight timeline but they added some great ideas, were super accommodating to tweaking the design as the project progressed and came up with some great ideas with the gabion. Great job and look forward to continuing to work with them

I had to rebuild the deck and roof above it because the previous owner built them without permit. After obtaining the building permit I contacted a few reputable deck builders in GTA for quotes. Green Side Up Contracting was probably the last few I contacted but the first to provide me the quote. Jay actually sent Zach the next day to inspect the site before providing the quote. The quote was very competitive compare to other contractors. After reading through the reviews here I chose to go with Green Side Up Contracting and I think this is one of the best decision I've made. The job involved:
- Demolishing and disposal of the existing deck and roof
- New concrete piers to the depth of 48" or more
- Rebuilding the deck and roof

Jay was very patience with me even when I changed the materials used for the job and provided the updated quote which I couldn't refuse. He ensured the job started on the promised date, managed the project very well, ensured my questions are answered and worries are taken cared of, and completed the project to my satisfaction.

Zach, who demolished and built the deck, was just a one man army. I've never seen a hard-worker like him. He was not only a perfectionist but also ensured the job was done to my satisfaction and provided useful suggestions when I was in doubt. Jay & Zach ensured the deck and roof was built strong and beautiful- for example, the drawing only called for 16" inch on centre joists but these guys built the joist 12" apart, installed beautiful joist hangers for the roof and brackets for the posts, wide pickets for the guard rails and many more.

In the end I have a beautiful Trex deck - (Spiced Rum spiced rum with Vintage Lantern picture frame) with aluminum guard rails. I will definitely hire Jay and his crew for any future projects.

The fence is beautiful. Dealing with Jay and his team was a pleasure. They were very professional and the service I received was excellent .

This is hands down the best experience i have had with a contractor. Jay made this so easy, especially when dealing with 4 different yards, and all the neighbours attached. Jay is the most responsive contractor I have ever dealt with, so their was never a question of when things would be completed. Jay walked us through the process step by step, so their were no surprises. The fences look amazing. I would highly recommend Green Side Up Contracting, for any contracting needs. I will be using them for all my contracting needs.

Thanks Jay, Mariana, Daniel and team for an excellent job in replacing our fence. We have 2 dogs and a corner lot, they made sure to put in the extra effort to complete the work quickly despite the weather to minimize any disruptions. Jay and his team are trustworthy, dependable and do top quality work.
Definitely recommend.

We hired GreenSide up to help us replace our fence and solve a drainage issue we had for years. We were in the middle of a Reno and one of our Neighbours wanted an earlier start date and additional work. GreenSide was incredibly accommodating and came in early to do half the project and additional work for our Neighbours. They were then able to wait a couple of months with no additional cost and came back to finish the work.

There was even a last minute hiccup where we had to delay slightly further due to a last minute Reno change. GreenSide had no issues working to accommodate our schedule. Zack was incredibly friendly, flexible and willing to assist where ever he could. The site was left clean each day.

They were also able to accommodate a last minute request to help install a fence drain to solve our water issues!

A few weeks after the project we had an issue with one of the gates. GreenSide dropped by without any issue and at no cost to fix the issue.

They did an awesome job and I would recommend them for their quality and flexibility!

Green Side Up built a beautiful deck for us in 2018. They just completed a brand new fence along our property. The crew did an amazing job, completing the work quickly. The fence is exactly the way we wanted it. Jay and his team are excellent indeed!
