Jescore Renovations Inc.

What a lucky day for us attending the spring Oshawa Home Show. We were looking for a contractor to give us ideas on refreshing our tired front walkway. Jescore responded with great ideas and a can-do attitude. Now we have a beautiful tumbled stone walkway that was everything we envisioned. Special kudos to the great crew who were highly professional and meticulous in their attention to detail. A great pleasure working with Jescore and we look forward to future projects!

Hiring Jescore is like hiring family - in a good way! Corey and Jesse truly care about bringing your vision to life with guidance and expertise.

Jescore redid our front porch, side entrance porch, stairs, landing, and foundation in natural Owen Sound flagstone. They removed and rebuilt the front porch stairs, and will remove and put in new retaining walls, and finally, repave our uneven driveway. They also installed new eavestroughs and fascia that changed the look of our home. We are so happy we’ve chosen one company to do all our work because we know that the quality of work will be A+ and each member of the work crews would respect each other’s work.

We were finally ready to overhaul our front porch. We called numerous companies in Durham for quotes. Some just wanted to give us a cookie cutter look, and cut corners along the way. One even failed to mention we would need permits for an idea we had, and said it would be ok to keep our sinking steps. It was taking days and sometimes weeks for contractors to get back to me for a quote.

Jescore, who I heard about through the Brooklin Moms FB groups, quickly replied and booked a time with me. Corey, the owner, came out to meet us and immediately showed us his genuine excitement about what the exterior of our home could look like. He listened to our vision and ideas, and added suggestions that were of value, such as changing our 20+ year old eavestroughs.

Once we were ready to sign a contract, Corey’s son Jesse came by our house to meet us, learn about the project and give us his advice and expertise about colour choices. When we signed the contract, we knew we were in good hands. We were also nervous about taking on a huge project and Corey and Jesse understood that. They told us to reach out to them anytime with questions, and to never hesitate to ask. There was never a silly question.

Their stone mason, Jean-Guy, is an old world artist when it comes to the artistry of laying natural flagstone. Our stonework is a thing of beauty! He arrived every morning at 7:30am and worked hard despite the hot sun. We could tell how much pride he put into his work. People who live in this home long after us will still appreciate his stonework!

Corey and/or Jesse stopped by every day to check in with us, and to bring Jean-Guy and his partner meals and drinks. They treat their team with respect. We wouldn’t expect anything less from a company we hire. Corey even came by on a Sunday to bring Jean-Guy a lemonade as he finished off the job. Little things like that matter.

When I had a moment of panic about the stone colour, Corey was at my door in 30 mins to answer all my questions and to bring me to a few houses he had worked on so we could see the colour after a few years. He took the time with us at every turn to make sure we understood the process, the vision, and what his team would be doing.

Do yourself and your home a favour, and call Jescore. You’ll be treated like family, whether your job is big or small. Thank you Jescore, we can’t wait to see what our home looks like when it’s all done!

The number of great reviews for Jescore seemed too good to be true but we are now happy to share our own 10/10 review.
Right from requesting a quote Corey impressed us with his quick reply and availability to meet. Corey was careful to listen to our ideas and explained the different options we had to achieve the look we were going for. He even brought us to two different homes to see what our finished project could look like and to show us a stone colour he felt would match our idea. Corey’s son Jesse came out to meet with us and offered some great stylistic ideas and really made our project take shape. We had ideas of what we wanted the finished product to look like, but we weren’t certain we knew every aspect of it. Jesse was able to take our rough concepts and turn them into a beautiful reality.
The start date ended up being ahead of schedule and everything was completed exactly within their estimate. Another of Corey’s sons, Josh, and his crew came early and worked through some crazy heat. Josh kept us informed as to what he was doing and why, so we understood all the steps and exactly how our stonework was being done. Going above and beyond, Josh made sure our kids could watch when the cement truck came and also let them write their initials in the concrete (though they are covered in stone we know they are still there!). Josh and his team came every workday until our project was done. All 3 in the crew were incredibly respectful of our property. They put tarps out on our driveway when working and cleaned up absolutely everything each evening. Their attention to detail went above and beyond anything we could have hoped for. The stonework was done carefully and meticulously leaving us with a gorgeous entryway. Josh’s attention to detail is impressive!
I do not hesitate to enthusiastically recommend Jescore. I am sure we weren’t the biggest project they were working on, but they treated us as if we were the most important from beginning to end. Getting to know the men of this family business has been a pleasure and we look forward to finding more work for them to do on our home!

We found out about Jescore at the Durham Home Show. Jessie and Corey promptly came to our home to discuss our needs and provide us with a quote. They were very eager to help us come up with a plan that would satisfy our vision, while staying within our budget.
Once the work began, they were very professional, and the work was beyond satisfactory. Special thanks to both Dennis and Jean-Guy for their old world professionalism.
We would not hesitate to use Jescore again, and would highly recommend them.

Jescore has done the following renovations for our humble abode the last few weeks : New eaves trough, soffit & fascia, including leaf screening. New front automatic garage door and access door in the back. New windows, including single hung, side slider and awning. We are so impressed with the workmanship, service and attention to detail that we are contracting Jescore to install new stone work around the driveway and front of the house, new pillars on the porch, new flagstone on the porch. We are extremely happy, and can't wait for the next phase to begin. Thanks so much Corey and Jesse.

Right from the start of the renovation we have received excellent service. Ralph was very pleasant to deal with, making suggestions along the way which resulted in a beautiful shower spa! Everything Cory and Jessie described was spot on. Enrique was very meticulous with his work.
Thanks for taking such good care of this senior lady!

We hired Jescore to redesign the front of our house, which included redoing the walkway, stairs and surrounding brickwork. We couldn't be more pleased with the end result! Throughout the whole process, the entire Jescore team was completely professional, extremely competent, creative, and went the extra mile, with unexpected finishing touches, to ensure we were happy. They guided and consulted us every step of the way, and their workmanship was superb; their follow-up and follow-through was second to none! We wouldn't hesitate to wholeheartedly recommend Jescore and can't wait to hire them again!

Jescore did my front walkway last year. This year just completed the top of the driveway and sidewalk. I couldn't wait to see the results and they surpassed my expectations. It is absolutely beautiful. They did such a beautiful job on the driveway, it made the rest look so sad that we are completeing that work in the fall.
I can't wait!!!!

Our front porch was starting to sag and became a tripping hazard. We needed the interlocking either repaired or replaced. Talking with Corrie from Jescore, we decided on tearing out all the old interlocking and replace it with a beautiful flagstone product. Trying to imagine what the finished product would look like, Corrie took the time to take my wife and I to a previous job of theirs to show the final product. Once seeing the final product and workmanship, we were SOLD.

The guys showed up on a Saturday to start removing the old product and give us in detail the procedure they were going to use to guarantee no shifting or sagging. I had no idea the amount of work that goes into this type of work so I was impressed when I saw all the pre work like the concrete forms, rebar and other reinforcing material being used to secure our porch.

John-Guy and Josh were awesome at their craft, the attention to detail is second to none. It was a pleasure to watch them work. In the end they finished a few days earlier than expected and it looks beautiful, I would highly recommend the boys from Jescore for any other work at our house.
