I was referred to Gemkin by a close frend, we were looking to change the exterior of our home. I called and set up a meeting with Arby and Amedeo to discuss design ideas. Since my home is almost 50 years old and we live in a quiet neighbourhood, I wanted to keep the design simple but elegant. After a few disucssions, we came up with a plan and we set a date when work would start. A week before work was to start Arby and Amedeo met us at the hosue to discuss some final changes that had to take place and make sure I was happy with the final design. The crew, led by Suria arrived promtly every morning at 6:30 I made them a coffee and they were ready to go. I have to say that applying stucco is a slow a tedious affair. There are many layers and prep work that has to be done in order to get the perfect final result. Suria is very proud of his work, he is meticulous and a true artist. The renovation went through Thanksgiving, ont he Saturday afternoon before they let, they cleared the front entrance to my home for my guests to enter, I thought that was very thoughtful. On the final day of work, Arby, Amedeo, Suria and his team came to inspect the job to make sure it was perfect, and it was. There is something to be said about true artisan work, and as we walked around my home, Suria stood with us looking at his work. Every aspect of the job was done perfectly and with pride. That is the key to successful work, loving what you do and taking pride it. I would reccommend Gemkin to anyone looking for stucco work, repair or renovation to their home

Gemkin construction came highly reccommended to us by a dear friend, we decided to meet with their team to discuss doing the stucco on the exterior of our home. We wanted to keep with the style of our home and not make it look like a 'cookie cutter' replica. We had an initial meeting with Arby and Amedeo, they came up with some brilliant ideas for our 50 year old home. There were some challenging areas that needed creative solutions and he knew exactly what to do. Upon agreeing with a design we agreed on a date to start the work. The team that did the work on our home was lead by Suria, every morning they would arrive proptly at 6:30 get everything ready and start work by 7am. They worked diligently each and every day making sure nothing was left to chance and everything was perfect. Each night I was given a brief rundown on what would happen the next day. If there were any changes that had to take place, as I stated before, my home is 50 years old, I would get a call from Arby and we would meet at the house to discuss solutions with his team. The renovation went through Thanksgiving, so the Friday before, they cleared my front and rear entrance so my guests could enter the house and enjoy my backyard....that was very thoughful My home is now complete and I love it. Although I will miss Suria and his team and our 6:30am coffee ritual. In the 2 weeks they worked on my home we became friends.. Thank you Arby, Suria and the entire Gemkin Team for a fantastic job, I highly reccommend this company for their excellent craftsmanship in the dying art of stucco
