Rebuilding a deck

All-Pro put in a new deck for us and also did some grading at the side of our house to prohibit water from getting into our basement. Both jobs were very successful. Angelo's crew were just great and did an excellent job. We would not hesitate to use All-Pro again or to recommend them to friends or relatives.

Interlock patio & backyard drainage

Angelo & his crew did a great job on our project to correct a drainage problem that had failed on 2 previous attempts by other contractors & also improved our backyard with great work on an expanded patio. He was very responsive to any changes along the way & was also quite hand-on in making sure the job got done to our satisfaction.

Stephen, thank you for taking the time to write this review. It is much appreciated. I was glad that we were finally able to get your drainage problem fixed. The recent rainfall was a good test. It was a pleasure working for you. I look forward to working with you again in the future. Thanks again, Angelo.

Walkway

I hired Angelo and his crew about 10 years ago to widen my driveway. They installed interlocking on both sides and did a fantastic job. The crew was very professional and left the place clean and tidy at the end of the job. I have used All Pro twice since and would not hesitate to use them again..

Backyard patio and garden retaining wall

I worked with Angelo in 2011 to put in a stone patio and garden retaining wall. Angelo was very helpful with the design and provided me with alternatives to help me stay within my budget. Angelo takes a lot of pride in his work and came by regularly to verify the workmanship was up to his standards if he was not doing the work himself. We finally have a backyard that we love and can enjoy.

walkway from front to backyard

The walkway from the front of our house, along the side to the backyard was made of concrete patio slabs that were about 25 years old. Anticipating the fall and spring rains to come, I was concerned that the walk was now sloping towards the house in spots, rather than away from it.

In late October, I called three firms that I found on HomeStars. One told me that they were booked and to call back in the new year. A second came to the house within a few days to prepare a quote. That firm emailed the next day to say that they had received a larger job closer to home and that they couldn't do my job until 2013. At my request, they did provide a quote anyways.

I made an appointment with Angelo from All-Pro and, although he had to reschedule, I must say that he always called me if he or his crew were going to be late. I never had to sit around and wonder where they were. Angelo gave me a quote that was comparable to the other contractor and said that, barring bad weather, he would get the job done before the season ended.

They started within 2 or 3 days of signing the contract and were finished a week later. It was only a 2 or 3 day job but they were finishing other jobs and a couple of days were too cold or wet to work. I was happy that the job was getting done. Angelo was frequently doing some of the work himself but, if not, he came by at least once a day to review the work with his helper(s).

One concern was our A/C unit. It had to be raised to put stones underneath. It would have cost approx. $500 for the HVAC service people to disconnect, move, and reconnect. Angelo offered no guarantee but said that he had successfully raised many A/C units without damaging the lines and it appears he succeeded again.

I was pleased that they used plywood sheets to protect the lawn from damage by their equipment. I should also mention that, while they would usually have a port-a-potty on site, they used our powder room because it was such a small job at the end of the season. This was not an issue as all the guys were considerate.

Both Angelo and I agree that I am fussy but I wouldn't hesitate to recommend All-Pro or use them again.

Hello David, I'm glad we were able to squeeze you in at the end of the season. Normally, I am booked well in advanced. I will agree with you that you were fussy but over the past 28 years I have worked with other fussy clients. Thanks for the kind review and it is much appreciated. Bye for now, Angelo.

In the meantime, here's a little bit about our history and the kind of work we do . . .
...........
...........

OVER THE PAST 37 YEARS . . .
Over the past 37 years, ALL-PRO Landscaping & Carpentry Ltd. has been designing and constructing beautiful, functional custom landscapes for more than a thousand clients who have entrusted Angelo Tersigni and his landscape construction team with their outdoor living spaces and home curb appeal.
...........
...........
ABOUT US . . .
FOUNDED IN 1985 BY NICOLA TERSIGNI AND 21-YEAR-OLD SON ANGELO, ALL-PRO Landscaping & Carpentry Ltd. specializes in working with clients to enhance the beauty and functionality of the landscape elements that complement and add to the enjoyment of their homes.
>> As sole owner and operator for the past 35 years, Angelo continues to honour the family values of integrity, diligence and quality that are at the very heart of ALL-PRO Landscaping & Carpentry Ltd.; the company he founded with his father 37 years ago. Those values have stood the test of time and continue to translate into satisfied clients. And we are honoured that ALL-PRO is now being called upon by the next generation of our client families to help them with their projects. Angelo personally oversees each project from start to finish.

About 80 to 90 PER CENT of the projects we complete each year originate from:
1) previous clients who come back to us with ideas for new projects, and
2) homeowners referred directly to us by our clients (this doesn’t include HomeStars leads).

On average, ALL-PRO Landscaping has the capacity to commit to approximately 30 to 40 CLIENT PROJECTS EACH YEAR (depending on the scope of the projects).
...........
...........
A FEW NOTES ABOUT QUOTATIONS . . .
Angelo personally handles quoting and sales. Hours of work are invested in a typical quotation. Rather than providing homeowners with a bulk dollar amount for the entire project, Angelo goes the extra mile by presenting a detailed, typed "contract specification sheet" that breaks the entire project into individual components that specify the materials/dimensions and pricing per component. The quote also specifies applicable warranty, HST and payment terms. Ultimately, for homeowners who choose to entrust their project to ALL-PRO Landscaping & Carpentry, this quotation document evolves into the signed client contract, usually after a number of refinements to align more closely with the client's aesthetic and budget.
> At times during the season, Angelo may temporarily suspend quoting so that he can focus exclusively on current projects and on quotations already in hand.
In this scenario, our office manager invites homeowners to circle back to us at a later date if they are unable to find another contractor with whom they wish to proceed. She also compiles a waiting list of those homeowners who wish to meet with Angelo when he begins quoting again.
...........
...........
IS ALL-PRO LANDSCAPING A GOOD FIT FOR YOUR PROJECT?
During the peak spring/summer period, we receive approximately 20 to 30 quotation requests PER WEEK, sometimes more.
Many of these we need to decline for a variety of reasons. For example, the project site is outside our core service area, or our schedule is already booked during the homeowners’ desired completion timeframe, or the project is not the kind of work we do.
When non-client homeowners reach out to ALL-PRO Landscaping to request a quotation, we are very grateful. We also respect their time and want to ensure that we are a good fit for their projects. So our office manager will ask a few questions before including their information on Angelo’s quotation request call-back spreadsheet . . .
.
Q1. WHERE ARE YOU LOCATED?
Each year, we must decline many quotation requests from homeowners located outside our service area.
Please refer to the “CORE SERVICE AREA” note, above.
.
Q2. DO YOU HAVE A PROJECT COMPLETION DEADLINE THAT YOU NEED TO MEET?
Some homeowners are working towards a particular project completion deadline such as the date of a backyard wedding or the arrival of visitors from overseas.
> This is important for us to know up front, because the homeowner's desired time frame may no longer be available on our schedule.
> For example, as of Dec. 21, 2021, our 2022 project schedule was already booked into July 2022, based on an estimated April 11 season start (which, of course, can be impacted by weather, ground conditions, COVID-19, and other factors).
.
Q3. HOW MANY QUOTATIONS ARE YOU OBTAINING?
Conventional wisdom usually concurs that obtaining two or three quotations is prudent for homeowners who do not yet have an established relationship with a trusted contractor.
We respectfully decline to meet with homeowners who are obtaining more than three quotations.
.
Q4. WHAT KIND OF WORK WOULD YOU LIKE TO HAVE DONE?
We focus on "HARDSCAPE" construction projects, such as:
=> patios, walkways, steps, porches, garden walls, retaining walls, driveway borders/driveways constructed with precast concrete products and natural stone products.
=> decks constructed with pressure-treated, cedar and composite decking products.
For hardscape projects, we can also incorporate the following:
=> sod, mulch, triplemix, washed river rock, ornamental rockery.
=> synthetic grass (usually Rymar Durablade 95 S-Shaped Synthetic Grass).
=> fence and gate structures, constructed with with cedar, pressure-treated or composite materials, as well as custom-ordered ornamental iron fencing from Medallion Fence.
We do NOT install the following:
=> We do NOT install plant material. We refer our clients to trusted horticultural technician-designers.
=> We do NOT install asphalt. We refer our clients to two trusted companies.
=> We do NOT install stamped/patterned concrete.
.
Q5. WHAT IS THE SCOPE OF YOUR PROJECT?
The HomeStars company PROFILE format includes a field for “PROJECT MINIMUM”.
> For prospective clients, we have set $5,000 as the minimum.
> For our previous clients, of course we are glad to come back to help with any landscape construction job, no matter how small.
> We appreciate that some homeowners may be unable to gauge whether or not their project would be above the $5,000 minimum threshold. Our office manager might be able to help with this when you describe the kind of work you would like to have done.
...........

MEETING WITH ANGELO . . .
Angelo's QUOTATION REQUEST CALL-BACK LIST is updated by the office manager. On that spreadsheet, each request she enters is tracked by initial date of inquiry.
> CALL-BACK TIMEFRAME: During the construction season, Angelo strives to touch base with homeowners within two weeks of the date of their initial inquiry logged on the Quotation Request List (unless he had already placed a temporary hold on quoting before the inquiry was received).
> MEETING TIMEFRAME: During the construction season, Angelo does his best to integrate quotation meetings into his existing project work schedule. Client work always takes priority for him — something which prospective clients are sure to appreciate. During the offseason from approx. December through March, Angelo does quite a bit of quoting for the upcoming season, weather permitting.

During the peak season, Angelo combines jobsite work with sales, scheduling, purchasing, transportation, HR, client relations and other aspects of the business. He is at the jobsites daily. Multiple projects are usually under way. Clients deal with Angelo directly on anything pertaining to their projects. He manages the project schedule, calculates and places the orders for project materials and determines crew member assignments each day in consultation with his onsite Team leader, Dan. His Class AR driver's licence also enables him to minimize production disruptions by serving as the supply lifeline for the jobsites: delivering materials from manufacturers, wholesalers and retailers (paving stones, flagstone, wall systems, steps, boulders, rockery, gravel, screenings, lumber, fencing, topsoil, triplemix, sod, etc.), transporting equipment and materials between jobsites and ALL-PRO’s staging yard in north Ajax, and hauling project debris to transfer stations, for example. He integrates quotations into this schedule.

CATEGORIES
Interlocking Stone and Landscape Contractors & Designers
SERVICES
We specialize in gently curving walkway, patio and retaining wall footprints and terraced patios and semi-circular steps, all of which require intricate masonry cutting. ............................................. >>> We help our clients "make a dramatic entrance" with their homes’ curb appeal. We can, for example, transform a builders’ plain concrete front porch and threshold with beautiful square-cut flagstone or interlocking pavers. We can also soften the lines of an asphalt driveway by framing it with an arc-shaped "cape" of pavers that extends across the front of the garage and down the edges of the asphalt area; or, we can install pavers throughout the driveway area! Strategically placed garden bed walls can wonderfully complement the overall look. .................. >>> And we can wrap that aesthetic around the sides of the house to the backyard to create a beautiful, private outdoor living oasis for our clients to relax, entertain, and enjoy precious family moments. ................................................................................................................................................................................... CONCRETE PRODUCTS & NATURAL STONE PRODUCTS: We construct our clients’ hardscape elements with quality materials, both manufactured and natural. .................................................... >>> CONCRETE PRODUCTS such as pavers, slabs, wall systems, coping, steps, etc. are manufactured by (in alphabetical order): Best Way Stone (BWS), BROOKLIN, OAKS, PERMACON, TECHO-BLOC and UNILOCK. ............................................................................................................................. >>> NATURAL STONE PRODUCTS such as square-cut flagstone, coping, and steps are from a variety of sources. We also install Natural Limestone Armour Stone excavated by Kawartha Rock Quarry in Buckhorn/Trent Lakes, Ontario. ................................................................................................ >>> As part of larger projects, we install Washed River Rock and assorted rockery accents, as well as sod, mulch and triplemix from various sources. ..................................................................................................................................................................................... DECKS: Our clients can choose from cedar, pressure-treated lumber or TrexTM composite decking for their deck installations. For decks that are attached to the house, deck plans must be approved via Building Permit from the appropriate municipal jurisdiction building office. We can recommend a BCIN certified designer to our clients who have not already worked with one. As an alternative to a deck, clients can opt for a raised stone patio-terrace. ..................................................................................................................................................................................... For larger hardscape projects, we can also incorporate perimeter fencing and privacy screening into the project scope. We install cedar, pressure-treated lumber and composite fence materials, as well as custom-ordered ornamental iron fencing from Medallion Fence. We respectfully decline invitations to quote on fence-only projects. ..................................................................................................................................................................................... While not glamorous, grading and drainage are vital considerations in any landscape construction project. ..................................................................................................................................................................................... Exterior lighting can add drama and elegance, while aiding in easier navigation of your property after twilight. Any electrical connections, however, need to be installed by a licenced electrician hired by our clients. We can refer an electrician to those clients who do not already have one. ..................................................................................................................................................................................... SWIMMING POOLS: Different clients have different approaches to their pool areas. On the one hand, we design surrounding landscapes that enhance our clients’ enjoyment of their pool oases. On the other hand, we fill in pools no longer wanted by clients for a variety of reasons. .....................................................................................................................................................................................
