2 Fences

Steve gave a quote for 2 fences to be replaced on the property. The fences look great and all was done in two days. I asked Steve for help with an additional repair at the back fence and to take out a couple of stumps fully expecting to be billed for this additional work, but he smiled and said it was his pleasure to help, no charge. I highly recommend Steve and his crew!

new deck

Steve and his team of Jesse and Andrew built a deck this month (old deck 20 years)
A first class job was completed quickly and on budget despite the heat and humidity.
I would recommend them to anyone.
Thanks,

Backyard fence

We greatly appreciated the work done by Steve and his crew, updating our property with a new fence bringing great curb appeal to our home, safety for our kids and a bit more privacy.

The crew was efficient and productive onsite while taking into consideration our needs to have access to certain areas of our property while they built the fence. I especially appreciated the flexibility on creating the gate look I was after, it worked out well!

New Fence and More

I moved into a corner house that never had a fence. I called Steve and we came up with a plan for a new fence on both sides of my home. That's where the Friendly Giant crew took over. They cleared existing bushes that were in the way. They made sure all water and gas lines were properly located, and I had a new fence in a few days. I was always informed on what they were doing and they always took into consideration what I wanted. They even added an extra barn style door so I can get my trailer into the backyard. Many thanks to Steve and his crew.
This is a very good company!! I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for a new deck or fence.

Fence foundation removals

Steve an Tyler bailed me out when I underestimated the effort and tools required to pull out the foundations for 3 6x6 posts. Steve was able to schedule me in quickly, showed up when said would, gave a fair price and left the area clean. Would recommend with out a doubt and am really appreciative of their willingness to take on a partial job.

Professional, quality fence work....and he is indeed friendly!

Parts of our fence needed to be replaced - Steve was a real pleasure to work with throughout the process. Fairly priced, and did work on time and we are very happy with the final fence. Would not hesitate to recommend to others.

Did not bring proper equipment, charged me full price anyway

I called this company & explained that I had gutter guards & that my gutters were clear but that I had a couple of blocked downspouts that I couldn’t access & wanted checked & cleared. I was able to reach one of 3 problem downspouts & after clearing a bunch of sandy dirt that was plugging up the elbow, it worked fine. Two workers showed up from friendly giant and after less than 15 minutes on the roof came down & confirmed that my gutters were clean. I asked them if they had been able to check the 2 downspouts I was having trouble with & they said that they didn’t bring the “necessary tools” to remove the gutter guards & check the downspouts. Now, I’m pretty sure that the “necessary tool” is just a screwdriver.. regardless, I called the company back & explained what had happened, expecting an apology & not to be charged. Instead I was told that because they came, I had to pay for the service call. It was Steve & Debbie that I spoke to on the phone & by email and this happened in September 2017.

More about Friendly Giant Fences and Decks

Owner Operator Steve Kemic has been working in the trades industry since 2001. From 2001 to 2010 Steve was the Production Manager for a Toronto based residential construction company overseeing the recruiting, training, safety, and quality control of 40 production employees. Steve spent a lot of time on site developing systems to improve worker relations, efficiency, and ensure safe working conditions. Likely because of his large stature and friendly disposition, he quickly earned the nickname The Friendly Giant from many of the people he worked with on the job. In 2010 a newly married Steve moved to Oakville to start a new chapter in his life, fatherhood and entrepreneurship. It was time to take his experiences and some of the hard lessons he learned to start a business of his own. The goal was to operate on a smaller scale, build strong relationships, work with positive people, and reduce some of the added stresses associated with operating a larger scale business. Steve has taken his experiences in business, love for carpentry, and creative eye to build his dream. We look forward to being a part of your next home project.
