Never heard of them...we used the original guys...Patterned Concrete;)

Before you use them, ask to see some jobs they have done since this will be a good indicator of their quality of workmanship. We did that years ago before deciding on who to use & we have seen some really bad stuff...so sometimes trying to save a bit might cost you dearly in the end...;)

Don't just ask to see their work, pictures are just pictures, get references. When I had my chimney fixed last year, I had 5 guys come and give us quotes. Usually, I don't go with the cheapest one, but 2 guys didn't even go up on the roof to check on what I was complaining about and 2 of them couldn't provide me with references. The guy I did use, provided me a copy of his business license, a copy of his insurance, a detailed quote of what was being done, and what might be extra when they open up the chimney (we had a leak) and a list of 30 references, most in the Mississauga/Brampton area (I live in Brampton) and I called about 10 on the list and they gave glowing references and 2 offered me to come and see the work. They finished on time, they did have to move the date several times because of weather - but they finished it in a day, there was no mess and I was quite happy. He wanted me there to show me the inside in case the gas tubing had become damaged, and when he opened it up, he showed me that it was indeed hooked up correctly and no damage. I can't remember the exact pricing, but it was the cheapest quote and he was between $500 and $2500 cheaper than the other 4.

That is what I meant;) To see actual work, not just pics...

Patrob: Sorry, wasn't picking on what you said, but just wanted to be clear, after working for some time with some "not so bright" people, I can't stress enough about how often people takes things literally and act as if that's the end of the statement.:mad: The world has less and less free thinkers. If I wanted to be a queen bee with a bunch of drones, well, if I had a choice, I would have been one, but....you get the idea. :cheesygri
