Brian and crew installed a new concrete walkway/sidewalk in our yard. The edges and the finish are perfect, and they sloped it into the existing drain. They did it on time and on budget. Thanks!

Brian removed our big old deck, quickly and cleanly. It was definitely time to see our old deck go. Now we can get the roof (under the deck) inspected, and at some point we'll be looking to rebuild the deck. Brian suggested some methods for building the new deck.

A Manitoba Maple (which planted itself in our yard before we bought the property) was leaning at 45 degrees and was at risk of falling over. We got a permit to remove it, and called Al Miley & Associates for a quote -- their quote was the best price, and they seemed friendly and capable. I faxed them the permit and we set a date to have the tree removed. They removed the tree on the date we set, and they swept up after themselves too. They also managed to work around the car port, the compost bin, and our fence. Thanks!

Any advice to offer fellow homeowners facing a similar project?
The City of Toronto wants trees, so if they do grant you a permit to remove a tree, they want you to plant another one to replace it. For us, this was not practical - our back yard is small and does not get much sunlight. What they may forget to tell you is that you have 3 choices: 1) plant another tree 2) have a neighbour plant a tree on their property 3) pay the city "cash in lieu" -- currently a $583 fee -- so that you don't have to plant another tree When the city grants you a tree removal permit, it's likely they didn't have time to visit your yard, so call them if you have any questions.

We have lived in our 1900s-era home for 16 years now, and whenever we need roofing done, we call Harry Mercer. Harry Mercer Contractors is family-run, but with a large enough crew to do a job quickly and reliably. Sixteen years ago they replaced our flat roof (which is still in good shape now), and this month we had them replace a slanted shingle roof (our house has several roof surfaces -- some flat, some slanted). They also did the estimate quickly, and emailed it to us. The estimate listed the various steps involved, the materials, the cost, and their warranty period. I would definitely hire them again, although now that all our roof surfaces are in good shape, it may be quite some time before we'll need them again.
