Darlinghurst Construction

Waited for 2 months to get job started. They never showed. waited another 2 months for deposit to be returned and had to call police to help get money back.

This is the worst contractor I have ever hired. I ordered a rubber rock patio surface on June 27th. I was told they would begin in 2 weeks. The first day they came back to start was the beginning of september. Their employee Peter came and started, worked for 2 hours, got 5% of the job done then promptly fell asleep in his work van. He returned 2 weeks later and got another small portion done. Three weeks later Chris shows up with 2 new employees and says Peter went to Alberta... A week later they almost finished the entire job and said they would come back in 3 days to finish a few minor things. At this point he requested to be paid in full to buy more "materials". This 2 weeks ago it's now oct 24. He's no where to be found and does not answer calls.

As for the product, it has turned yellow, has not been applied properly in certain areas and needs to be fixed. At this point we are thinking he's not coming back, we lost our whole summer of patio season. Had to barbecue on the lawn and my yard looks like a dump thanks to this company. Think twice before dealing with these yo yo's. Pathetic.

We were so excited when we came upon this product at a homeshow in Newmarket in the spring. Pete came out in May and we left a $918.75 deposit with him to have our front porch done. He guesstimated about 3 weeks. June came....then July.....and now August. After COUNTLESS phonecalls and emails (have a copy of them all), this "company" - and I use that term loosely- never came to complete the job and to date (Aug. 25th) has yet to return our deposit. The owner , Chris Willson, is the most pathetic person we have ever dealt with professionally. His excuses are endless...."it's too wet, it's too hot, my phone died, trouble with workers, etc..." Do yourself a favour and DO NOT HIRE this clown, actually you won't have to worry about hiring him because he NEVER answers the phone. My next resort is now having to go to court to file a complaint against him....again wasting my time. He's just a joke - I feel sorry for the people that work for him!

The wind blew it up before it had a chance to cure, dirt from the garden blew it up. They came and fixed it right away. Impressed with the service, and workmanship.

I currently am living in Peterborough and I found Darlinghurst Construction through work that has been done by a friend of mine living in Barrie ontario. Anyways i had a stone floor put in that was absolutely incredible! A gentleman named peter baxter and his crew recreated my back yard by putting in a patio that also surrounds my pool. altogether around a 800 square foot job. Im so pleased with the outcome of the job, it brings my whole place to life! I always sing praises to darlinghurst construction to whomever comments on my backyard!

Thanks Pete! Thanks Darlinghurst!

The Darlinghurst crew were a great group of men working on this project. They are perfectionists and therefore the job took longer than anticipated. They have an eye for detail and make sure that you are right there all the way with this project so that the end result is exactly what you expected. Upon completion, we were more than pleased with the end result. I would never hestitate to recommend the workmanship of Darlinghurst Construction.
