Kanawi is Horrible never hire!!

Hired for concrete work. Retaining Wall, porch with overhang and entire driveway. Simple clean form work. No stamps.

Contractor failed in every way.

Didn't use agreed upon smooth forms throughout. Promised straight clean lines, Lines are crooked, driveway was supposed to be black with embedded color on truck, Ali informed it was when it wasn't. Put down black color hardener causing grey finish very blotchy, looks very bad. chips in concrete show color below. Large piece of concrete chipped off, ali attempted to patch with bagged concrete leaving green/grey patch on white concrete. Nails left in concrete from forming causing rust marks. Ignored agreed upon portions of work Let chips and cracked old concrete that was to be parged as agreed work. I have taken quotes and hired many contractors in my field of work. Alis price was decent, he provided a designer that did some renderings. And Ali was very likable, something that I, having experience never thought Id be taken by. Ali added 10% for a wall that was always required, was part of the original drawing and model we discussed. Before I agreed he went ahead and installed the foundation stating I need it but he could remove it if I didnt want to pay, so that was an extra 4k. The final product was not consistent with the plans I provided nor the rendering that was created. The work had to be stopped and restarted. The elevations were changed because of errors resulting in slope toward new concrete and towards house that should not have been. The concrete top of porch has an over hang I designed however its crooked making whole job look horrible and I called ali to see if I could get him to build a planter in front of slope to hide it, he tried to charge me 10k for a planter that I never wanted. Again, I really liked the owner of the company, trusted him he is very personable and I feel embarrassed, and taken advantage of without a thought. Msg me, Ill elaborate further and post the icing on cake is that my house is Black stucco, less than year old time of concrete work, ali did not properly mask and as result my entire frontage will have to be painted now. Who wants paint on brand new stucco. He refuse to fix it stating he would seal the driveway instead or nothing at all. Once your deposit is in you are done with this guy.

Dont do business with them. They sound good and then leave you with disaster.

Stamped Concrete (Front Yard/Porch/Sidewalk/Backyard)

We absolutely love our stamped concrete. It was the best decision we've ever made to enhance the exterior of our home (front porch, sidewalk and backyard). It looks stunningly beautiful all thanks to KanawiCo. Ali is an expert in his field and with just one look he knows the perfect design.

Working with Ali was an absolute pleasure. We appreciated his exceptional Customer Service, thoughtfulness, kindness and punctuality. Ali and his awesome team got the job done in record time. We highly highly recommend Kanawi concrete.

Stamped Concrete Driveway, Porch, Stairs and Side Path

We hired KanawiCo to demo and redo our driveway, porch, stairs and side path with stamped concrete. Ali gave us a great price with the style we wanted. The whole project took a month as we were stuck with a lot of rain in between, but the prep work was done to our expectation and on time. We did bring up having the porch bullnosed so it would match the stairs, and Ali promised he’d be back to do that for us when they work on our neighbour’s. Overall, we’re satisfied with the work and it turned out beautifully. We had a good experience working with Ali and his team and would definitely recommend them. Thank you for a job well done!

New Walkway and Patio

I hired KanawaiCo to do a new walkway and patio me and my wife wanted for many years. After submitting my request through homesteads Ali came out the next day (which was Sunday) yo look at the project. Right from that day I knew this was the company I was going to hire as Ali was very knowledgeable and experienced. KanawaiCo was very well priced and the work they did was EXCELLENT. Their attention to detail and their dedication to the job was amazing, Ali made my wife and mine dream walkway come to life. I highly recommend them for any and all concrete work.

Exposed concrete

My family was very satisfied with this company. We had hired them to do our driveway in concrete, we decided with a exposed concrete / colored. Everything turned out great. It has been two years but it still looks new and the company staff follows up to make sure it still looks good thanks guys
