Neno was a true professional and amazing. The project was refinishing hardwood floors but also added a few other small projects.
Very low dust on the sanding which was done very quickly. I was replacing the baseboards so Neno removed them for me. Neno helped pick out the stain the best matched the other floors.
I opted for 2 coats of varnish (after the stain and sealer). Floors look amazing.
Would definately hire for future projects.
EXCELLENT!
I had a few quotes in the summer of 2012 but was too late......all the good firms were booked up so in the spring of 2013 I started calling.
I actually got 6 quotes and Pro-Concrete was ranked #3 in price (third highest). I wanted QUALITY and it didn't take much convincing.
What really sold me is that the sales guy (George) actually took the time to go back to his car and actually draw out what he wanted to do. No one else took the time to do this and that pretty much sold me.
Three of the other firms also wanted to "cheap out" by skipping a step or by putting some concrete on a slope. George just said "no that ain't right" and provided education as to why it wasn't.
The job started with John the foreman coming over and marking the area's for excavation and where the steps would be.
The real work started with a bunch of guys, 5 trucks, a mini excavator and many wheel barrows. They scooped of a few inches of soil to make room for the concrete. They then set up the forms.
There were some delays due to weather but that's nature. A few guys came to add rebar and other anchors.
They needed 3 dry days straight to pour but when the weather cleared they came in force. About 8 guys, lots of trucks and 3 cement trucks in sequence.
I opted for a lighter colour which looks so much better. The concrete gets darker especially after it is sealed.
I did 2 colour edging and all the fixings. My yard is tiny so I wanted it to look good. I also did a pad for a shed.
The pouring and stamping took all day and the release agent looks time black dust. Be aware that this stuff, although required gets everywhere and isn't very water soluble.
They leave the release agent on for a few days and allow the concrete to settle. They then powerwash everything and let it sit a bit longer.
Finally they seal the concrete.
I'm glad I actually didn't do my driveway (but did the curbs) because the concrete I pretty slippery when wet (although on the driveway they add stuff to minimize this).
I'm actually going to have them apply this stuff to the concrete this year.
The team was always very professional and the quality of work was amazing.
John the foreman was great. Easy to work with and wanted the job done right.
Congrats to ProConcrete.......this type of customer service will win you continued loyalty and superior references.
If I were to offer any advice it would be to post some pictures and a step by step description of the work plan on the website (like that other big but outrageously expensive Mississauga company).
I have only 1 crack from the brutal winter and just a few area's that need repair but pretty minor stuff considering the amount of concrete and grading of my house.
Pro-concrete also DID NOT ask for a single dime before they started the work. I was happy to pay in full when the work was done.
Approximate cost of services:
$20,000.00

Thank you so much Colin for the great review, we truly appreciate it so much and will take your advice into consideration!
Great from start to finish. Miro was easy to work with, very professional and provided lots of insight.
I was having concrete done at the same time and Miro was able to drop by at a moment's notice and get the posts in so my other projects could also go ahead.
I had searched the Internet for designs and came up with my own custom combination and Miro's team was able to make it not only a reality but much better than I had imagined.
The price was actually lower than others who were not offering the same quality of materials.
I decided to go with PVC for the horizontal decking and wood for the Pergola and rails.
Miro returns calls promptly and you never have to chase him.
His "zero pressure' approach to sales is a refreshing approach.
I've had no issues with my deck and as a major "do it yourselfer" I strive for perfection and I haven't found any flaws.
The deck was build by REAL carpenters not by the average joe who slaps up some wood in a day and calls it done.
The deck did cost a lot as I choose PVC over composite and wood but PVC is even better than composite and it's been zero maintenance.
I'd advise to always do with something a bit more maintenance free for the decking as a minimum.
This year I'll have Royal Decks complete the deck skirt (couldn't do it last year due to concrete work).
I'd highly recommend Royal Decks for a professional quality looking and long lasting deck.
