Nancy and I needed cement done around the house(new private sidewalk from house, new sidewalk along the side from city sidewalk to the end of the building, new patio area and garage entrance). Waterproofing was the main concern. We had estimates from other companies and while Mike was not the lowest his proposals seemed the best. He didn't use scare tactics saying that he would find foundation problems which would cost us a lot more as one fellow did. The first day his crew had a coffee and then it was non stop work. It took about four hours to drill, move and dispose of the concrete, built the barriers/foundation for the new cement and clean and sweep. When it came time to lay the cement we had a few variations and that was not a problem. I was also given advice about the proper way to lay flagstone for our next project. Mike and his crew were friendly, helpful and really nice guys. Mike is licensed and charges HST but his crew is covered by WSIB which shows that he cares about his crew unlike other companies.
.Neighbours compliment us about his work.
Drive by 247 Bingham Ave and check it out.

Last summer M. Scott poured a new cement floor in our garage and straightened the building. We were very pleased with the job, and this year we had them waterproof part of our foundation. Despite the messy nature of the work and the considerable rain, the work was neat and completed in a timely fashion - even earning comments from our neighbours. The pointing and parging they did was also done extremely well and neatly. M.Scott does an excellent job, is fast, efficient, neat and on budget. We would use them again and would not hesitate to recommend them to our friends. (Although the price listed seems high, it is the total for all three jobs.)

We are extremely happy with our new chimney. The job was completed in a professional and timely fashion. The price was very fair and worth every cent. We were so pleased Mike and his team were back this year to do some addition concrete work and once again, a job well done. Please take the time to call Mike for a quote on your home improvements I think you will be glad you did.

Mike came quickly to view the project and quote a price, which he honoured. He was willing to take on a job that other contractors had dismissed as not worthwhile. Once work started, it progessed steadily, even though we added sub-projects, sometimes with very little notice. Mike was flexible about this, and the extra time and cost associated with these changes were fair and reasonable. Throughout, Mike was informative about the process and the expected outcome. His crew was prompt, pleasant and hardworking. The end result is very satisfying--the basement is waterproof, the new floor is smooth and level and polished--our friends are all impressed.

I live in the Beach, and phoned Scott Home Improvements re: a concrete walkway that had settled and allowed water to seep into my basement. Mike answered the call, came promptly by to inspect and a gave a realistic estimate at the same time. The next day, his crew came and the job was done to specification. Mike also participated and made sure that the job was to perfection. So far ....no water in the basement. A job well done!

I live in East York in a house that was built in 1921. The concrete laneway (2.5 feet wide) between my house and my neighbour was graded incorrectly, cracked, and was leaking water into my basement. My basement floor had a 4x6 area that was bare earth and needed to be covered in concrete. The rear wall of my house had vinyl covering a former 30 inch doorway (which had been replaced by a new french door in a different location). I needed a contractor to replace my side of the laneway (since my neighbour wouldn't agree to having his side fixed), fix my floor, and replace the vinyl with brick that matched the house. I asked some friends for recommendations, looked on HomeStars and made some phone calls, and chose Mike Scott - and am very happy with the decision. Mike was great - down-to-earth, professional, matter-of-fact and friendly. He and his excellent crew always arrived on-time, left the work site clean, and did a fantastic job on all three of the areas that needed to be fixed. He was also great at dealing with my neighbour who was being quite difficult - the laneway was so badly cracked that there was no way that only my side could be replaced, but my neighbour was insistent that he didn't want any work done because "he didn't have a problem" (even though he was likely going to have a problem in short order). Mike ended up replacing the entire walkway, grading it appropriately, and then did a fantastic hand-textured surface to prevent slipping. He handled my neighbour brilliantly and didn't charge extra for the additional work that was required as a result. The neighbours and friends who stopped by to check it out were impressed with the workmanship. Mike's team did a great job on the bricks - the color matched perfectly (minus years of accumulated grime) and the mortar joints were neat and clean. The patch on the basement floor was perfectly integrated to the remaining floor. Mike was also very responsive with after-sales service in response to some queries my neighbour had after the fact. I would recommend Mike and his team again, and if I decide to proceed with a replacement for my garage slab, will hire him again.

I was in a bit of a bind because my current contractor was unable to finish the job and I wanted the pad completed before winter hit. I called Mike and he came by right away to look at my project. He came in with a resonable quote and to my delight was able to start my job on the following week! He estimated the completion time to be around a week and a half. Mike's team is professional, punctual and accurate. To his word they kept to schedule and kept me updated along the way. Mike didn't skip corners, he stuck to the architectural drawings to the inch. In fact he probably went above and beyond in terms of the thickness of the concrete and stone base. The pad looks solid. The good thing about Mike is he has his own equipment and he's on site too. You can trust Mike and his team to do the job right and within schedule.

Mike and his guys completed a quality job on time and budget. They arrived on the day promised, with the site left clean and tidy. Nothing negative to say whatsoever.
I would gladly recommend Mike.

Mike and his team were great to work with and we were impressed with the job they did on the parging. We have a 100 year old house with a concrete block addition at the back that had no parging on it. Mike broke off all the old parging, applied a wire mesh around the entire perimeter and did three coats, a scratch coat, finish coat and a water proof sealant. Other quotes we had received were lower but for only one or two coats of parge. We wanted to make sure it was done as well as possible and it looks great.
He even added on breaking out an old concrete pad at the back of our property at a reasonable price and put gravel down where it was before which was great!! He was also very responsive to all my calls and questions which was much appreciated.
Thanks Mike, we will definitely recommend you to people looking for a high quality parging job!
