Patio Stamped Concrete

To give you some background, this was over 2000 sq feet of work. I spoke to many different contractors and selected Solocrete - John left a great impression when we met giving me the confidence that the job would be done right. I was thoroughly impressed with the workmanship and speed. The backyard looks great - the coping around the pool was done exceptionally well. I definetly recommend solocrete for any cement work.

Decorative Concrete

We are extremely impressed with Joe, John and the entire team at Solocrete. When we first met with Joe we wern't sure what we wanted. After walking the property and taking a few measurements Joe invited us up to his show room in Brampton and showed us an amazing plan. It was everything we were looking for and the attention to detail and functionality of what he designed was more than we could ask for. Solocrete put in a new front porch, front and rear steps, a driveway (5 feet wider than the existing one), a side walkway, two rear patios plus a 5 sided shed pad. It was a big job and I was a little nervous that they would be able to start and finish on time but they did it all in one week. These guys work hard. We take a lot of pride in our home and we wanted to make sure we received a quality job - and these guys delivered. It wasn't the lowest quote, it wasn't the highest quote, but similar to other reviews here I think we got a fair price and a beautiful job. We took a look at several of Solocrete's jobs before we signed on and they were all very impressive. Joe did my parents property as well as our former neighbours - nothing but quality work. Would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for concrete work! They are easy to work with, timely, and make sure you are happy with the finished product. Thanks Solocrete - we love our new property!

Decorative Concrete: verandah, driveway, front steps, walkway

Excellent workmanship with elegant and sophisticated results. John from Solocrete extensively modernized our back-split by adding decorative concrete on the verandah, extending the six steps, widening the driveway and walkway to the back of the house. I'm glad we listened to his suggestion about repouring the garage floor on out 33 year old house. Best thing we did!

The work was done in June 2011 and to this date (October 2012) there are no cracks. We are so impressed with John's professionalism that we have commissioned him to add jewelstone on our 25 year old back patio and shed floor (800 sq. feet).

We first met John in 2010 when he did a driveway and walkway for our neighbour. Confident with our neighbour's attention to detail and workmanship, we hired John to work his magic with our house a year later. My son, impressed with the work on both our houses, commissioned John to do extensive work on his driveway and front/back of his Oakville home this past summer 2012.

We understand our responsibility for proper maintenance in using plastic snow shovels and sealing the concrete work regularly.

We have received many compliments from friends and neighbours. Strangers drive up and compliment us on John's work. Without hesitation and reservation we have recommended Solocrete to them.

Thank you John for taking care of our home.

stamped concrete patio

We contracted Solocrete in April to put in a stamped concrete patio in our backyard back by end of May. From the first consultation visit by Jose to the finishing of the job, everything went seamlessly. Jose was helpful and professional when assisting us with the design and in giving a reasonable quote. The crew started and finished the project on time, and all the crew members were very friendly and professional. We didn't like how one of the steps had a sharp corner and it was promptly remedied after we mentioned it. Since the patio has been put in place, we've had several bbq parties and got tons of compliment on it. If we ever decide to get the front porch and the driveway done in the future, we'll definitely have Solocrete to do the job for us again.

Decorative Concrete curbs, walkway & patio

We were very inpressed with the great work and high level of service provided by Solocrete. They came referred to us by a family friend and we are so thankful that we decided to move forward with them. They work very hard to keep their customers happy and they were very accomodating to all of our questions and ideas. Every member of John's crew was professional and displayed a strong passion and interest in what they do. Idala at head office is always available and if not she returns your call within 30 minutes (even if it's 9pm)...who else does that??? One of the best contractors we've ever hired and I would strongly suggest that you give them a call to quote you on any concrete work. I don't think you'll be disappointed. Thank you John and team Solocrete for a beautiful patio, walkway, curbs and flowerbed...we can't wait to put everything to good use. Obrigado! Joe - Bolton

Stamped concrete

Solocrete is not interested in decorative concrete projects smaller than 500 square feet. They contacted me to ask how big the area was, and then did not want to quote the job.
They should probably put this up front in their information.

Stamped Concrete Driveway

41Last year we awarded Solocrete to have our driveway and walkways done with stamped concrete. We were glad that we chose the right company after an extensive research. the owner John Goncalves took great pride in the work that he did and surpassed my expectations in terms of job quality finishing. immediately six of my neighbors signed up with him to get their drive ways done. Amazing work everyone was happy and satisfied. Great quality, Workmanship and Excellent customer service.
Thanks to Solocrete we have a great driveway.

stamped driveway and curbs

My wife and I had our driveway done in August '07. The colour of our stamped concrete is as vibrant today as it was four years ago. John and his crew were professional and started and finished the job on time as promised.
Their office staff were just as curtious throughout the decision making process. Idila was extremely helpful with picking the right colour that best complimented our home.
Solocrete's quality is second to none and we've recommended them to friends and neighbours. We still get compliments to this day. A real estate friend of ours recently said that we should have no problem selling our house, if we ever chose to do so. We'd easily get our money back. Stamped concrete was the perfect compliment to our landscaping and added that extra curb appeal.
Thanks John and Idila for transforming our house into a home!
