Elite Concrete

We wanted a concrete patio in our back garden to resemble square cut limestone. We interviewed four companies and were most impressed with Elite Designed Concrete. Raffy was our first contact and after listening and taking a look at our site, was able to give us a precise idea of what Elite could do for us, show us samples of similar projects they had done and provide a clear estimate of the cost. After we made a small deposit, Marcelo came out in the pouring rain and worked with us to draw out the plan, spray-painting the design on to the area to give us an idea of the final look. He seemed to really want to make a perfect job for us and didn't seem to care that he was soaking wet! I told Marcelo we wanted the patio done by July 11 for a party. Next came a polite and friendly crew of formers and carpenters. They started at 7:30 am and were quiet and respectful of our neighbours as they set up. I was impressed that they were wearing brand new matching Elite t-shirts! They put down boards so as not to trample on the lawn and garden. They asked me questions and made sure the forming was to my satisfaction. They even suggested an improvement and when I agreed, they were more than willing to alter a small section. They helped me visualize different angle measurements in the transition from lawn to patio. Several days later the concrete pouring crew arrived, again at 7:30 am and again wearing matching Elite t-shirts. They also were clean, quiet and respectful. Every effort was made by them to make sure my lawn and gardens were not damaged and that I was happy with the result. The patio looks fantastic, and exactly as we envisioned. It looks every bit like an expensive square cut limestone patio! On July 11, the morning before my party, the guys arrived to backfill around the patio with nice topsoil to make sure it looked complete for my event. I can not tell you how rare and wonderful it is to work with a company that provides such care in the design and execution of their work and delivers what they promise. When they left, the place was spotless. You would never know a large concrete project had been undertaken. Elite is a company that oozes integrity and attention to detail. I would definitely hire them again, in a heartbeat and recommend them confidently. 10/10!

Our decorative concrete driveway and pathways are over 3 years old now and needed a reseal. Dealing with the team at Elite is always a pleasure. A quick email with an immediate response, followed by an onsite visit to inspect. Then some brief correspondence to coordinate timing so the car is off the driveway. Job was done exactly when we had agreed, and the place looks fantastic. The level of customer service the guys at Elite provide make it completely stress-free. They say they'll take care of you and they do.

Last year we hired Elite Designed Concrete to do a massive job on our front yard landscaping and driveway. We were so impressed with their creativity, professionalism and end result that we decided to call them back in to do more work in our backyard, extending our patio. Again, we were not disappointed. Again, Elite and their many crews impressed us with their excellent service, punctuality and performance. A week does not go by that somebody does not knock on our door to rave about our front yard. It is our pleasure to highly recommend Elite Designed Concrete.

When it comes to provide warranty services after installation, Elite Concrete is second to none. Due to an extremely icy winter a year before last and also possibly to a bad batch of concrete, numerous spots on my stamped driveway had exhibited the same effects as seen on normal concrete when salt was applied. (We always use sand in the winter and plastic shovels.) To our pleasant and grateful amazement, instead of spot repairs, Raffi decided to redo the complete driveway. This involved breaking up the complete driveway, reforming, repouring and stamping. Talking about topnotch professional services! Thank you Raffi and Marcelo!

I contacted Elite Designed Concrete Inc after reading all the positive reviews on Homestars. I have never written an online review in my life but had to this time. I hired Elite to do a full remodel of my front and back yard and it is absolutely amazing!! From the design process through to the final product the team impressed me with their knowledge, professionalism and workmanship. I highly recommend this company to anyone who is looking to do any concrete work at their home, you will not be disappointed. The price was extremely competitive and the value for the money well exceeded my expectations, best experience I have ever had with any contractor in my life. Call these guys!!

We had our concrete driveway and walkway installed in the summer 2014. Raffy and Marcelo were very responsive despite the back log in projects. After the first winter, there were several cracks that appeared across the driveway which I didn't expect. Raffy personally came over to look at the cracks and assess the damage. After discussing situation with me he offered to completely re-do the driveway and front portion of the walkway where the cracks were located at no additional charge to me. Needless to say, I was very impressed by Elite's commitment to customer satisfaction and their dedication to stand behind their workmanship.
They sent an excavation crew to rip up the driveway and Marcelo and his team followed up the next week reinstalling a brand new concrete driveway. Consistent with my experience the prior year, everyone from the crew was extremely courteous and left the work site in clean and tidy condition each day. Raffy and Marcelo emailed me regularly to update me on the expected timeline of the various stages of the project which was very helpful.
After the driveway was installed, Raffy even reimbursed me for the cost to replace a few shrubs that were damaged when the excavation team removed the old driveway.
All in all, I was extremely happy with the job that Raffy and Marcelo did. Their commitment and dedication to customer satisfaction was really above and beyond what you would typically get from any vendors that I've dealt with before.
The stamped concrete look has added a beautiful look to the curb appeal of the house and really compliments the landscaping of the property. I would definitely recommend Elite Concrete for anyone looking to upgrade their driveway or walkways with stamped concrete!

We had a dilapidated backyard with failing retaining walls and interlocking from the 70's which had been overtaken by weeds. Elite completely transformed our backyard into a modern oasis. We LOVE it!! All the guys were very polite and even our neighbours commented about how courteous they were. They worked into December to finish the project which was completed on time and on budget. I can't think of even one negative thing to say. Great job and thank-you.

Raffy resealed our driveway at no additional cost.

It was almost two years after the driveway was completed.

We loved the service and their work, would use again instantly. Thanks guys

We are so pleased with our new driveway. Neighbours keep stopping to say how great it looks!. The designers and workers at Elite were so pleasant to deal with. They were always here when they said they would be, gave good advice, were polite, hard working and efficient.

The scope of our project was to add a cold cellar, re-do our verandah and steps. The designer who completed our drawings referred us to his contractor with the reassurance he would be overlooking the projects to ensure they were performed and completed properly and professionally. Unfortunately this turned out to be the worst experience/ nightmare we have ever encountered. Unqualified workers; extremely disappointed with the service and performance; damages to the property; the contractor was very unprofessional and dishonest; we paid more than what was completed; a project that should have been completed within 2 weeks dragged for over 8 weeks and still was nowhere near completion; as for the designer, we’ll never require his services again.
Now in the 2nd week of November; we were pressed for time and needed to find someone to complete the project before the cold/ snow started. We were also concerned another Company would not want to finish someone else’s work. - I read about Elite on Homestars and was quite impressed with all the reviews, so I decided to give them a call. I spoke with Raffy and briefly explained our situation; within the hour he came to see the work and told us he had no problem taking over the project. Raffy was very understanding and supportive, he reassured us the work would be completed and not to worry about the cold/ snow as they are well equipped for all weather related conditions.
From the first moment the crew arrived, we knew we were in good hands. All the workers were very experienced and skilled; they knew exactly what needed to be done and did it properly and professionally. Everyone was very polite and it was great to see them take great pride in their work. The end result is OUTSTANDING; Elite truly exceeded our expectations, and we’re extremely happy and grateful to the entire Elite team. It’s very flattering to have so many people compliment the work that you have completed, and it’s with great pleasure that we ensure everyone knows all credits go to “Elite Designed Concrete”.
Thank you, Raffy & Marcelo I can truly say you both are wonderful and honest people! We definitely look forward to working with you again for all our Concrete and Landscaping work (and anything else you do). It’s nice to know there are still respectable and trustworthy people out there.
